It's been made clear (and understandably so) that talk about the actual emulator itself is a no-no so if this crosses that line then my apologies and please edit this out, but as far as the monsters go you basically manually spawn them. So you can have a huge amount of them in any area you choose and the monsters that appear are random. On my home pc, I can get tons of them appearing but if I do too many on my work pc, it freezes it. So I have to do small groups here and there lol.
Ok, here are a few more. Tonight I'll post some better pics in 1920x1200. Again, sorry for the quality but I'm taking them from Windowed mode on my work pc.
Ahhhh I should have posted the pics I took last night I had some cool ones of the giant tree creatures. But alas I'm at work today and for some reason they only show up as an outline on my work pc (which is obviously far less "powerful" than my main gaming pc at home.) Anyway, I thought I'd post a few I took from my work pc. I haven't played the Beta yet so I don't know what enemies are or aren't in the Beta already. I also had a great Gargantuan pic on my home pc lol.
I'm playing in Windowed mode on my 2nd monitor because I should be working on servers instead of taking D3 pics lol.
You may want to consider an ATI Radeon HD6850. It's slightly faster in many tests than the GTX460, runs cooler and only requires one 6pin power connector whereas the GTX460 requires two. It also runs a little quieter. Usually I'm more of an Nvidia guy, but the 6850 is a great budget card. Don't get me wrong the 460 is a great card but Having built pcs with both, I prefer the 6850 over the 460. In fact I put one in a budget gaming pc I built for my wife not long ago and it's been a powerhouse
I have an exciting night planned, I'm watching DVRed episodes of People's Court with my wife. I know, I know, try not to be jealous. Actually I don't mind this show but my wife friggin' LOVES IT!!! We have several pcs throughout the house so I'm sitting in the living room refreshing my battle.net account page every 10 minutes or so.
Good luck all!! Even if I don't get in I'd love to see a thread about one of us actually getting in. Crossing my fingers and hoping to see some invites getting confirmed tonight
Having ran several of my own sites (including a D2Mods site - thugopolis.com) and having been a mod for 2KGames forums and pso-world.com I can tell you that for a community to run as smoothly and well as this place does, it takes A LOT!!!! of work that goes mainly unappreciated. So much behind the scenes stuff that people don't realize. So, keep up the great work guys and thanks for giving us a community we can be proud of
I get the exact same impression whenever I look through some of their threads. Diablofans truly does have a great community here and I'm glad to be back
1) Sandy Bridge processor for the speed and the fact that it runs fairly cool. Not trying to be a fanboi (in fact I still love AMD as they provide a better bang for your buck in many cases) but you can't go wrong with either an i5 or i7 processor.
2) Minimum 4GB of RAM
3) Best graphics solution you can afford. You won't be able to upgrade your videocard in a laptop so make sure you get the best that your budget will allow for if you plan on doing any gaming. Ok, technically you can upgrade the videocard but you would need to crack open the laptop case which I don't recommend to most people try. It's not difficult if you know what you're doing but it can be a nightmare if you aren't familiar with the process.
4) For harddrives, although SSD's are great for running an OS they are far more expensive than an ordinary harddrive for a lot less drive space. For my desktop I use a Corsair SSD to run Windows 7 64bit and a few programs that really benefit from the drive speed, but everything else gets installed on one of my other drives. In general I'd say you're probably better off going with more harddrive space on a regular 2.5" notebook harddrive than with an SSD. There are a few other issues with SSD's that I won't bother getting into but suffice it to say, a standard harddrive with decent drive space (500GB or more) will meet your needs no problem.
Again these are only my personal recommendations and others may have differing advice so take it all with a grain of salt.
Taking at least a week off from work. First day (or night) I'll order some pizza, get some frozen yogurt and something good to drink and go at it until I drop from exhaustion. Kids will have at least a few nights at grandma's house so my wife and I can play
Great idea!! I'd be far more inclined to try HC if that were implemented if for no other reason than to check it out. Any additional incentives to get others to try that mode would be a winner (so long as said feature doesn't change the gameplay of course.)
