Shryke Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 finished act 1 and called it a night went with the witch doctor for my first character kinda undecided on skills - i keep switching them round when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
greylord Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Are the stories about server issues true? For an SP game? If so, blizzard deserves all the metacritic comments...afterall...an SP game shouldn't be giving error 37's at this point, that's what the open beta was supposed to be for. If there are NOT server issues, blizzard is having another bad PR day with the people spouting on about it. How is everyone enjoying it (actually I imagine half of them are busy playing, so probably no responses on how good or bad it is thus far till later. At least If I had been anticipating it and it just came out, I'd be playing it).
Gfted1 Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Nobody here has mentioned a server problem. I cant decide who to play first, Monk or Wizard... And curses, I just remembered my daughter has a choral concert tonight at school. Stupid extracurricular activities harshing my gaming. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I'm hearing a lot of server issue stuff - mostly not being able to get in - but my guess is that's largely from people who tried to play the instant the game opened up. I think it has settled down somewhat by now and most are probably busy obsessively playing. “Things are as they are.

Labadal Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Played for a little while now as the Witch Doctor. Got some overpowered weapons and am now one shotting everything. And I'm only on the brood mother quest. Time to barbeque and then back to the game.

LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I think at the moment I'm having more fun reading about what others think of the game then I would have playing the game. So is the difficulty in the early stuff on par with the beta? Saw one person say they thought there were a few more general mobs then before and that the SK was a bit harder. “Things are as they are.

I really hope that the difficulty ramps up on normal. So far, it is even easier than the beta, but that might be just me. Edited May 15, 2012 by Labadal
Gfted1 Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 http://www.eurogamer...bug-in-diablo-3 Don't give the Templar a shield before Joram, I guess. As a temporary workaround it suggested players not give the Templar any gear until after they have accepted him as their follower through the user interface pop-up. IIRC, you couldnt equip him until he formally joined you. Weird. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 IIRC, you couldnt equip him until he formally joined you. Weird. Perhaps that's the actual bug then....that they could do so. “Things are as they are.

SadExchange Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Paranoia be damned, my battletag is Labada#2961. I'll be on in an hour or two. Tried to add you, but it says the battletag doesn't exist
Labadal Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Lol, an l missing. Should be Labadal. Labadal#2961 Haven't been able to log in after I came back from dinner. Temporary outage. Edited May 15, 2012 by Labadal
Blarghagh Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Are the stories about server issues true? For an SP game? If so, blizzard deserves all the metacritic comments...afterall...an SP game shouldn't be giving error 37's at this point, that's what the open beta was supposed to be for. It's probably not true. See, the thing is, Blizzard fans in general are the whiniest people on the planet. I assume most of these got disconnected once when everyone was trying to get on at the same time, then proceeded to bitch about it to every nearest outlet they can find. Even if it true, however, Metacritic is for REVIEWS, not bug reports.
Labadal Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Both me and my cousin are unable to log in. I'm not really raging about it, but it's a shame we can't log in after work and slaughter some demons. 1
Blarghagh Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Really? Still? I figured the startup bugs would be ironed out by now. Now I don't feel so bad that my copy hasn't arrived yet. Edited May 15, 2012 by TrueNeutral
Labadal Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I had no problem earlier, but now I've gotten outage (error 75) and busy servers (error 37).

I'm not really raging about it, but it's a shame we can't log in after work and slaughter some demons. Thanks for that info. As I said, if true, Blizzard deserves every piece of bad PR they get. If it were an SP game without the online element, people would be playing as soon as you got the game. If they do it online, that same expectation should be in place. So, that's what I judge it by. If they don't give the same quality, but downgrade the quality on purpose, then yes, I think they deserve the bashing they are currently getting. On the otherhand, if people are exaggerating the log in, and server booting them off thing, Blizzard has another bad PR thing going for them that I think they probably should answer with an affirmative that it's actually not like that. I know they had server issues with the open Beta, but that's what that was for. They should have either extended it to work out all the issues, or used that info so they didn't have a repeat with the actual real release. Edited May 15, 2012 by greylord
Lexx Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 So, internet, what is the general opinion of the game so far? Is it a big pile of shait or worth the (big pile of) money? "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) I really hope that the difficulty ramps up on normal. So far, it is even easier than the beta, but that might be just me. Just skimmed through a video of a live stream of up to clvl early 20's (into Act2). And I'd guess....it won't get more difficult (in Normal). 4 player co-op, hardly took any damage seemed like. The mages did have some trouble here and there but...well, they're mages. Edited May 15, 2012 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Just saw Diablo. Looks like a wuss (which isn't to say he won't be fun to smack). Haha I love the internet. “Things are as they are.

Same here. I got some demon killing done after school, but now it's constantly giving me the error 37. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Labadal Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Don't read if you don't want the end game spoiled. I'll spoiler tag the question. So Diablo is a she
