Diablo 3

[TMoney]

Any HC'ers want to meet up to crawl through D3 together? Lets use this thread to coordinate.

I plan on getting the game sometime next week and I should be good to go if others are interested.

The multiplayer option is just the co-op ?

I'm game let me know, trying to finish the normal difficulty solo, but with this annoying lag it's pretty hard

[Nebby]

I leveled up my HC toon a bit, but I'm going with my normal mode character until they iron out all the lag issues. Lvl 20 wizard for my normal mode toon, what's everyone else playing?

Yup

I figured it would make sense to wait a week to give Blizzard time to even out the kinks from their end.

I'm thinking of doing a Witch Doctor. I used a Demon Hunter in the beta and they are pretty cool as well.

I really wish I hadn't just watched that.

[Nebby]

Saw the preview and knew I shouldn't watch it

You guys know that video isn't serious, right?

Alrighty then...there's 1:41 of my life I'll never get back...

This game pisses me off so much. I'm trying to progress, but the auction house is a fucking joke. It straight up doesn't work half the time, which is ridiculous, because the only way to get decent items is to make money and buy them. And the only way to make money is to sell shit on the auction house. Also, they nerfed like 2 entire wizard builds in a week or something, so I need to make even more money to get new gear.

i was a massive, massive, massive Diablo 1 and 2 fan. i played the demo for 3, and said "fuck it." i might buy it when it's $10. i'd rather play 2, again.

This.

Also, always-on DRM and a pay-to-win auction house does not a happy customer make. I'm voting with my dollar and not getting it, at least not until it's much cheaper. Plus, the class designs went from interesting to juvenile, and the atmosphere went from dark and gothic to bright and cartoony. Who's the target audience for this game again?

Maybe I'm just getting older.

For folks not happy with Diablo 3 I'm getting the idea Torchlight 2 might be where it's at. The Steam preorder on that is super generous. You get the first game and you're set for the second game for a mere $20. Crazy value and the beta feedbacks and such suggest a potential huge lovefest in the makings. If you go on the Runic forums it's looking like mid June thereabouts for a release. The folks in the beta are saying the game feels fairly polished and complete even now.

As much as the art direction is influenced by wow, it's hard to call Leoric's dungeons bright and cartoony . I agree with atothex though, I really dislike how they made the game centered on the AH.

Diablo 1 was even darker and gloomier than D2. I'm surprised I made it all the way through it in 7th or 8th grade. I can guess I can see the trend Blizzard started to follow with each successive game being more commercially viable.

[Kirosia]

Dun got D3 as I have a job now. Started off as demon hunter, not sure what's going on most the time, hope the game gets better and more difficult.

[NightWoundsTime]

Never played a Diablo game but I was an old school Warcraft/Starcraft whore, and gave a year of my life to WoW, so fuck Blizzard since then.

Necrothreading alert: does anyone still play D3?
