As discussed in the Console fatigue post I am listing this post to see who's up for some D3 action either during the beta or after the 15 May.
I plan to play through normal with at least one character first so I don't think I will be co-oping straight away but I think I will need help when it comes to Hell and inferno to reach level 60 and the best loot
My battle.net ID is themadjock#2764
This might be the dumbest question... but is there a way to actually add people to a "friend list"?
I tried searching for your name in SCII but I came up empty...
My battletag is: Viralshag#2198
Viral, I sent you a request just now. If it doesn't work it may only work between regional servers, I am on the Uk/European Servers, if they have such things during the beta
Ahoy! NightBacon #509
I haven't joined B.net yet, but D3 is a D1P for me. I bags the Monk and will share my handle ASAP.
As I don't have the D3 beta, if you want to add me to your Real ID friends list through SCII or WoW (I'm going to re-sub for a month for the hell of it) then you should be able to find me on the below:
SCII: Kal#183
WoW: Kalbull
Out of interest... would anyone be up for messing about with a new char in WoW? EU servers if possible, happen to join a server of their choice. I just want to kill some time.
OR
Come and join me in DCUO! It's not that bad and F2P!
Add me up. I should be getting final code in about three weeks. I was told I'm going to get it "a few weeks" before launch.

Request sent Pat
Colin my request to NightBacon#509 failed
Can't see the request on Battle.net. Where would it be?
I sent it from within the diablo3 beta.

I hate this beta. Every time I boot the launcher it hangs. I'll add you when I've reinstalled it.
Patch 16 seems very buggy and has caused my PC to slow to a crawl
I don't even have the beta :(
Don't worry viral the game's first act is brilliant fun and I've already played the beta longer than many other AAA titles, 5 characters (well Demon Hunter not so much) x 2-3 hrs x 5-10 times = a lot of testing....
If the rest of the game is as good, with those awesome cinematics and late game skills this will be my goto game for a long time to come. I just fear I will lose interest in SCII HoTS.
I am really excited about it. So excited I booked Wed-Fri off to play it when it comes out :P
I should play more Torchlight on the PC though to get myself a little more suited to the mouse and clicky controls. If this game had pad support I would be in absolute heaven but I'm not one to shy away from using a M/KB if I have to.
I just need to find a comfortable set-up to that will allow me to play this on the 40" TV...
I use a the logitech solar keyboard with wireless couch mouse on a small coffee table
Unfortunately my TV is right in front of my bed and until I get into my new place it's just a bit awkward more than impossible.
That's a pretty neat keyboard. Is it really as the Logitech site says... "like typing on your laptop, only more comfortable?"...
Yes, it's been flawless since I got it a few months ago and the mini usb transceivers work well even with the onlive microconsole
Took me long enough, but I just got my beta invite.
Rather excited, its loading up now.
OG... You lucky bastard. :P
@OG congrats, hf, add me if you want some co-op action. The wife is away on a hen party this weekend so I'll get some D3 beta action going. Just be aware patch 16 has been the buggiest for me so far since I won my key on CVG's competition. The forums just say it's a "pure beta" meaning the code isn't optimized hopefully your system will run it fine
...I hate all of you that are in the beta...
XD I wanna do some Diablo 3 co-op :(
At the risk of getting stoned to death...I really am not blown away by what I have played.
Do you know how in DiabloII, when you started, you showed up in town, saw a couple of npcs to talk to, and soon you were on your way exploring the vast openess of the first stage/act/world? DiabloIII isn't set up like that. Think Final Fantasy. Your in town, things are buring, and your following a very tightly scripted series of events. I am not gonna spoil anything for anyone. But the world consists of pathways and coridors you have to travel. A few spots open up, but not many, and not very big. In that way it really reminded me of playing FF on the PS3.
I wanted to just go explore and I couldn't. I felt led by the hand.
The client runs a bit bumpy on my system, but I am not worried about that at all. Its beta. And to be honest, I need a new rig. I am playing on a 4 yr old rig, 16g ram, 1000video card. Nothing top of the shelf when I bought it, and its older now. For my level the graphics are fine.
The gameplay is good, standard fare for this type of game. The inventory screen works just fine. I am not in love with the char development, very wow like and what I mean is very standard cookie cutter. Your not going to have a lot of choices, it seems, in how you tweak your player. Whats is an example of a better done player dev system? Titan Quest: Imortal Throne. In that game you can mix and match two different classes into one. For example you could be a nature based class(healing, summoning wolves, etc), and then select a elemental class(fire based attacks, summon earthen core deweller tank pet). You could then walk around behind your core pet, and heal it with nature while using a mixture of spells from both classes. Nothing like that in Diablo III.
I like the experience. I just wasn't blown away with it. I subscribe to WoWs annual pass. And took advantage of their free DiabloIII package. So I have the game preloaded for launch. I am hoping it grows on me. Diablo II was, imo, one of the very games ever made. But my experience thus far(and it has been limited) leaves the door open for Tourchlight II.
I'm not going to stone you for your opinion OG, unlike some other fanboy trolls that visit vg247. I find there is enough exploration and the sound design and skill variations are enough it keep me interested, just remember this is only the first act and the easy "normal" difficulty level
I hope you have seen enough that will make you enjoy the full game.
I agree with ya themadjock, and am hopeful things open up a bit as the game progresses. I have seen enough of the game to feel comfortable that I will enjoy the experience.
The first time I fired up Diablo II, Tourchlight, Titan Quest, for example, I knew I didn't wanna stop playing. I was blown away with those experiences right away. Diablo III didn't have that impact, despite(and maybe because of) my anticipation to it.
Hoping it will grow on me. I do enjoy the Witch Doctor tho, that is a creative class thus far.
@OG, exploration is not like in diablo II?
Madness if true.
someone give me a key, i want to try it out for a bit. I did a mistake and forgot to refresh my PC statistics for beta so i will never receive a beta key probably.
Nope it explores alot like the latest FF game. There are pathways. Its outside, but your following these pathways. Sometimes they open up into larger "areas" but still feel pretty tight, esp when compared to the vast openness that was DiabloII.
Right now thats one of my biggest concerns. that and while the game has tons of stats to track, your not placing stat points yourself. You don't have talent tree/skill points per level and stuff like that.
I am not gonna pass judgement based on a handfull of hours worth play tho.
Just saying, "hmm" at this point. Maybe I was expecting too much. This should still be a ton of fun co-op. But at this point, I can't see it holding me over the years like Diablo II has done.
I preordered collectors edition and i don't know what to expect. This is bad.
I need to try it.
Erthazus check out the beta playthroughs on youtube, you'll get a good idea
