greylord Posted May 15, 2012 Share 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted May 15, 2012 Share 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.

LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2012 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted May 15, 2012 Share 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.

Gfted1 Posted May 15, 2012 Share 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Lexx Posted May 15, 2012 Share 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?

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.
