Yea, another "too many people playing this game because it's so fawking awesome millions of folks!" kinda of down time. =\

 

do you guys know if guess pass characters will be permanent when you upgrade to the full version?

btw my battle tag is xhengmanx#1903

 

What's this Diablo you all speak of?
My internets is used for the facebooks and ****

 

Next to log-in screen:

 

Yea no ****, couldn't log on. LoL, this is a normal occurrence... can't provide for millions of players! Right now is prime time. Eastern up around midnight, west coast 8pm.

 

I heard battle.net is getting slammed by botnets too, specifically targeting the D3 launch. Lol...

 

if you get kicked off because of the error codes and still want to play, you can try out the asia servers. was playing on it last night and it was running fine, americas servers were up again at 11:45ish last night, ran good, pulled an all nighter with some friends and got to level 24. now time to go to work. about to be a long day

 

anyone can hook it up with a guest pass? still deciding if i want to ruin my life with d3

 

I dont have a pass but you definitely want to buy it. Gameplay is 9/10 with a party and the customization is really good.

I honestly dont know why people build rigs for this game. Its runs smooth as butter on my i5 laptop with a nvidia card and also on my desktop with a gtx260.

 

Looks and runs fine on my iMac too. But I suppose it's got "Ultra" and "Extreme" settings like SC2, which explode your eyeballs with extra particles, ribbons, shadows and reflections.

 

I just put everything on high settings and it seems ok but nothing amazing thats for sure. So far I am only level 11 or 12 ish, but I don't have much time to play.

 

guest pass characters definitely switch over when you get the full version.

Just bought it hours ago and I am stuck on it, the desert is difficult as hell and I even snagged items from Act III by joining my friend's game(and getting them from merchants)

Someone run me through the game!

 

running people through isnt as easy as it was in d2. **** takes forever. most acts in nm take upward of 2hrs+.

 

If anyone's down to play, my handle is mCastJr.

My highest level char is a demon hunter at level 25. About to go into act 3

 

Hell is horrible if you dont have a proper tank(and even still elite groups will often require multiple wipes to get by). Belial alone took me 2 hours of just finding a competent party. Even his hatefuls hit around 28k which is instant death unless you have a super life builds on a DH/Wiz.
