The magic weapon runed Electrify... Attacks has a chance to cause... Is it like, you have a chance to win the lottery/get struck by a lightning stike or its more like a percentage? It seems like a big gamble
Magousta, you are correct. I'm sure blizzard has designed the new battle.net to be a multi datacenter platform.
When you log into battle.net via the diablo 3 game client you will be logging into the realm servers which are the closest to you (latency wise)
Blizzard does not own their own data centers, they lease data center space from AT&T in san francisco, virginia, colorado, dallas and Virginia which has multiple 10gigabit links between DC's that are mux'd via dwdm onto AT&T's fiber infrastructure.
As far as the game servers go and how the platform is build, It is quite possible d3 was built on a database engine similar to hbase which rides on top of a multi-datacenter distributed file system for speed and redundancy.
My guess is there is multiple servers across us, since you can only be 4 at the same time in the same game, it will assign you, based on the latency you have vs to the server, it will choose the server nearest the player that has the most lag so he can keep up with the team. Let's say, North east, south east, south west, north west and central. If it can handle millions of connection? I hope so.
All this is purely speculation based on nothing
It won't matter because according to Blizzard the time it takes to install using the discs is = to the time it takes to de-crypt the already pre-downloaded client. (unless they let you de-crypt it a couple hours before launch)
Are you telling me that reading from a dvd is the same as reading from my SSD?
I have an amulet that was not dropped from those skeleton... I started my new char with 21% MF(bought it from AH with my beta dollar and got it before getting to the SK
I have 1 or 2 friends that also claim they won't buy D3... They are just lying, anyway, if they want to play with people online they will have to get D3 because everybody that I know will be playing D3
it depends on your group, if your grouped with a bunch of scrubs and/or people will low crappy gear in inferno, then yes it will definitely be harder then solo, IF in fact you are decently geared and good at playing. so it entirely depends on the group skill as a whole vs. your skill alone. if your pretty good at the game with decent gear id say soloing would be your best bet for clearing inferno/farming because when you get grouped, its with 3 random people and the chances are high that most/all of them wont be good/geared players.
World of Warcraft has sucked out your soul.
Mine too.
I agree.
sadly its done more then that. its not nicknames the "destroyer of lives" for nothin.
wow was gay for the fact that you NEEDED to group up to do anything end-game. which is why i LOVE ARPG's. getting teamed up with random turds ruins the gaming experience.
Getting 40 mans raid to get to do some cool dongeon wasnt always fun
NOW, 4 friends at a time, going to be a lot more easy to do
I have played the hell out of D2 and the melee sorc wasn't viable. Was I able to take out diablo clone? NO. Was I able to melee meph, baal, diablo on hell? NO I don't even ask myself running chaos tristam as a melee sorc...
Was those enchanted weapon good and useful, yes, on normal. As soon as I got to NM or Hell... this wasn't an option.
If they are going to make a battlemage/melee wizard, there should be better skill to customize it, not only 1 and a half wanna be option melee wizard
