The only reason I didn't post that the first time I saw it is because I wouldn't know how to wipe the incredibly smug look off my face while doing so. It's this close-mouthed, lightly dimpled halfmast smirk, with one eyebrow slightly lowered. I'd light a cigar and put my feet up. Then I'd post pics. I figure that wouldn't be very polite.

e: Oh, the item database on the official site is updated. The uniques are so cool :awesomedash:

After playing in the closed beta, I am compelled to roll a female barbarian. With her sound effects and the general quality of the game's ragdoll animation, it is the first must-play class for me.

Those all look like the same skills though....with like...a rune in the middle? What do those do?

The runes are small modifiers to the actual skill. I wouldn't exactly call those individual skills, so that graphic above is kinda misleading.

Yeah, see? :glare:

It looks like D3 Wizard has 25 skills to the D2 Sorc's 30, without counting any runes, or the passive skills. Runes are pretty neat though so D3 still comes out on top, if you ask me.

I'm starting to lean towards the Witch Doctor.

Thing is, many if not most runes substantially change the functionality of the skill. Ray of frost, for instance, can be a straight damage dealer, a 0-cost left-click spell to be used while you wait for your arcane power to come back, a close-range circle of cold damage that lasts as long as you hold down the button, and this other thing that "leaves behind a patch of ice" that deals 193% damage to anything standing there over a period of three seconds. There may be better examples; I just picked the first thing I thought of. I would use slow time and that barbarian one where you grab an enemy with a chain and pull them toward you, but I should really be somewhere else right now.

He's got some really cool stuff.

Hey guys, I don't know about you but I think Ragnar might be looking forward to this game.

Getting pumped as hell! :awesomedash:

What tipped you off? Was it the way I've memorized the skills, the fact that I started this thread two months too early and then basically spent most of it talking to myself, or the fact that I start white knighting the game every single time someone suggests some kind of flaw, or the fact that I've been walking around and just continuously bellowing :twonk:

AAAAAAAAAAAH :twonk:

while going through the motions of an otherwise typical summer day?

Gonna take a nap and wake up in 4 hours. LET'S DO THIS THING!

I'll say this now. Buy a damn authenticator, for the love of god. Or, just get the equivalent app for free on your smartphone. It's only a slight increase in the time it takes to log in (two codes instead of one), and it makes it much harder to get hacked. You do not want to get hacked.

Dangit, what episode is that .GIF from? I absolutely cannot place it and it's driving me crazy.

I installed D3 and it's ready to go, but I'm not gonna play until after I'm finished with work tomorrow. If I started tonight, I'd never get to sleep.

Enjoy the longest of your life, I'm going to bed.

I'm curious to see whether this thread explodes or turns into a ghost town tomorrow.

Sweet, I can't log in.

Managed to log in (after a bunch of tries), request times out when trying to make a character. I am not shocked in the slightest :-I

(?) · by **Crow** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 8:14 am

Same, I keep pinging out. I got in with the first wave and made my character, except I got the toon's gender wrong. :-/

Deleted it and crashed.

I think they over-tuned him a bit, I've had to go back and grind on Error 37s for a while. :pinkieshrug:

Cripes, I should really just go to bed, haven't even gotten past auth in the last 10 minutes or so.

1 hour later, I still can't get in.

(?) · by **Perpetual** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 9:56 am

Finally got in and working right as I was about to turn in for the night. Started leveling a monk a little, but too tired to focus now, now is time for sleep. If any of you guys want to slay some monsters during the day tomorrow, feel free to add me in game and hop in. I'm sure I won't be doing much else :pinkietoot:

Got in, played WIZZARD! and lovin' it.

420 cone of cold / frost nova / lightning attack err'y day.

(?) · by **Aramek** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 1:11 pm

I'll be makin' a Monk this evening when I get home from work. Family is visiting today, so it'll be later than normal.
If all of you are suddenly level 30+ by tonight, and thus refuse to play with me, then, well, fuck all y'all. :rainbert:

(?) · by **Crow** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 1:40 pm

Took me almost 2 hours to finally get in.

Trixie has seem to have found a hat belonging to one of you...lesser wizards. :smug:

(?) · by **Damathacus** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 3:30 pm

I'm a bit late for start but I just added my btag to the list and started playing my wizard.
I'm mostly playing in EU realms thou so we probably won't meet that much. :fluttersmith:

(?) · by **Artificer** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 3:32 pm

How does playing together work because I want to get in on that earliest.

I couldn't resist and just got the game. :fluttersmith:

(?) · by **Artificer** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 3:57 pm

Hurrah!

Wait. How do I change difficulties in this thing? I don't want to play on Normal difficulty. :-/

(?) · by **Aramek** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 4:11 pm

Art...did you not play Diablo 2?

"Normal" means your first playthrough. After you beat the game, it unlocks "Nightmare" and finally "Hell", or "Inferno" in this game.

(?) · by **Artificer** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 4:53 pm

It's been a very very long time.

I think I've sent friend requests to everyone on the list up to Vulin.

Aramek wrote:"Normal" means your first playthrough. After you beat the game, it unlocks "Nightmare" and finally "Hell", or "Inferno" in this game.

Actually Hell still exists. Inferno is a fourth difficulty level after Hell containing enemies at or above the level cap. It's also supposed to be hard enough that the devs never managed to beat it legitimately.

(?) · by **The great M** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 5:19 pm

I'll probably be playing on the EU realms for now. Feel free to add me to your friends list if you do too.

(?) · by **Ragnar** (?) » Tue May 15, 2012 5:54 pm

Did anyone ever mention that what you want to do is go into options and turn on elective mode? Like, first thing you do?
