After reading this I went ahead and did an Act 1 run to see what I'd get.
After finding 54 rare items, only 1 was ilvl 63 sadly, but here it is.

It isn't quite as bad as yours, OP, but it does have a worse name.

What do you expect? It's called AWFUL Stock

did anyone expect to start playing immediately? I will start playing about 6 hours after servers go live, when i wake up well rested

2 days paid vacation. Whoooo!

I will be playing Legend of Grimrock in the meantime. If you are a Wizardry fan you MUST play legend of grimrock!

I'm sure in the states it will be 12am PST. Us east coasters gotta wait till 3. Personally, if thats the case, i will be sleeping til 9am. Not going to torture myself.

At this time i plan on going 2 handed, using whatever the best weapon i can find is. Not going to stick to any specific weapon type. Higher difficulties i would like to try 1 hander+shield. again, whichever one hander does the most damage

I've seen this exact thread about every class in the game.
And when it's based on almost no skills, no runes, having less than 6 abilities slotted, no gear, and only 1/4 of the way through act 1 on normal mode- it just comes off as completely fucking retarded.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Remember that the barb and the monk got 30% passive resistance... basically it's the same thing.

None of the above. I am taking a vacation day to play but I will only be up long enough to install the game(getting CE). Assuming that the servers aren't up til 3am EST at least. I'm going to wake up and start playing at 9am with my 2 brothers are we aren't going to stop for about 15 hours.

I will give diablo my first born child for a beta key

Last time i checked D1 is also on the USB drive. If you don't want to play them you could always go to the diablo wiki and catch up on the lore

If you want the CE you need to travel back in time. I knew it was going to sell quick and bought it the day after it was announced.

I broke up with my girlfriend 2 weeks ago. D3 is now my girlfriend. I will be taking 2 vacation days to play. I wish i could take more but i have to save some to visit my stupid family for the stupid holidays.
Family ruins all my fun

it's going to take 3 hours for me to install the game and download the patch so im glad it will be midnight pst

I don't think there is a viable solution. I understand people's desire to play ASAP, ie: the stroke of midnight, but how often have we actually been able to play at the moment servers go up? There's almost always some lag or server issue that delays my super happy fun time for at least 30 minutes. Plus, you will have YEARS to play D3.

Don't get me wrong, after I get my collectors edition I will hauling @zz home, foaming at the mouth, but I'm not going to be surprised if it's 1-2am before I start playing. The delay will give me time to check out all the awesome stuff in my collectors edition
