rofl, wow, it was just a personal opinion, can either of you outline where my personal 'feelings' got involved or where i got upset? lol, looks like most dont think before they speak here.
back to topic rather then discuss the nature of my whereabouts:
valid points you broughtup, but i7 3.0+ proc alone is more than $1000 as is.. im sure this guy who's running a single core laptop hoping to play D3 is not looking for a high end gaming machine to spend his next 6 months of savings on and more or less a budget based desktop/laptop which is sufficient enough to play D3 without lag.
You! my friend. Are a gun! Many unanswered questions, answered. Guess a little research would have saved you the time, but i must admit i am a very busy man, i very much appreciate your response. Enjoy the weekend ahead of you/behind you (wherever the fuck you live...) lol
"You're not alone! You got meh! XD I loved potions and I still believe that healing potions should be in D3 instead of those orbs."
Glad to hear that bro, we're now. dfan brothers.

Well that's when you use a potion. If those instances are occurring too often, your character probably isn't strong enough for the area.
So you're saying potions are obtainable throughout the game? ;o
"Luckily it isn't too hard for them to design some source of health during a boss fight, just about every game using health pick ups in the past has managed after all. The boss could spew some weaker minions from time to time, there could be some breakable bit in the level that drops health now and then or the boss could just drop some after you deliver a particularly nasty blow."
Good theory, I would like to think that would be correct, but I dont think Blizzard has designed all bosses to summon minions to fight for them. hehe but breakable bits, quite possibly.
I just somehow, cannot understand how they believe this is going to be effective. i am sure with enough feedback, we could get some traction on getting this point across to blizz.
POTIONS ARE FKN OLDSCHOOL THEY FUCKIN BELONG!!! IN EVERY RPG!!! GGGRRRRR!!! NONE OF THIS ORB SHIT!($&@#(*$@ (sorry, you must excuse my rage/frustration)
"I don't think boss fights should be a problem. In fact, they should be better than before where you had to use a portal to refill your belt with potions for chugging or run around with your inventory open."
I dont know about you, but this made it quite... mm... interesting. There was always a time you had run into a boss thinking you'd fuck shit up, forgetting to open a portal, forgetting to stockup on potions before running in. Having to walk the whole way back (yes this was painful, but it helped ensure you were always stockedup and ready to throw ports up when you enter fight). If they're developing some sort of system during boss fights to provide pots throughout the fight, this is going to make the game a breeze to smash through.
"Oh don't feel alone, there have been plenty who have complained about the health orb system"
Thanks for your sincerity
"I was a bit skeptical of it at first, but I always hated the way damage was dealt in D2(too many enemies that were either essentially harmless or instant death) and I suspect switching away from potion chugging may make it easier to remedy that balance issue."
Your not wrong here, Blizzard has successfully met my request by adding DAMAGE VALUE which will add a little more EXCITEMENT to the game i think. But i think D2 gameplay, story, skill tree's/stats was just... perfection (for a game of its time) Still till this day we get 8 of the boys to LAN it up and just start from scratch, fuckin everything up.

I think hearing most of you are looking forward to this new system is quite dissapointing. I think we forget with Diablo 2, yes, we could always cap ourselves out with potions, but it actually required some skill involved. Pvping etc, how the fuck is that going to work? Orbs come flying outa people as you hit em? (that shit just doesnt make sense)
How do you balance the amount of orb drops? Whats to say there isnt an orb drop when required? then we die because.. what? no orbs dropped. (pretty lame in my opinion) not only this but how are orbs going to be obtained during boss fights?
or what? Design the bosses so they're defeatable without obtaining orbs?
thanks everyone for making me feel alone with my thoughts. :'(
It is true that you won't need SLI or Crossfire for D3,
Where are your sources of information?

There are so many reasons why everybody should overclock.
Ofcourse, without cooling, watch you burn out your $500 card and void your warranty, gg.

Yes you might take it to the extremes and spend a lot of money on water cooling, OC motherboards like ASUS Rampage 2 Extreme and beyond, but there uses for such performance beyond gaming.
lol, for a few extra fps? are you kidding me? there has not been a game i have NOT been able to play on highest settings, 1920x1080. I bought mine over a year ago for $1400.
I dont know about you guys, whether you guys actually find this a problem or not? But when i seen some of the E3 previews of D3, something was brought to my attention a little more then most things.
How the potions work. Instead of buying physical potions to keep stocked up in your inventory and use when required, the monster's drop those little orbs and they then replenish hp/mana once selected/pickedup.
Does anyone else disagree with this new type of system, or is this type of a change a positive one?
* my apologies if this has already been brought to discussion *
good point, just providing some personal recommendations. Laptop's are designed for portability, not as gaming machines. =] Just saying he wont enjoy the gameplay if he plans on keeping his specs
omfg, you cant use a laptop for gaming. unless you spend $3000+ but the bottom line is... throw $3000 into a desktop, and you have yourself a weapon for the next 5 years+
buy a $150 mobo, $150 CPU, 8GB RAM ($250 max) and a $3-400 gfx card and you've got no worries
w/e you do, do not buy from an OEM/Retailer go custom
So what your saying is, you dont plan on upgrading in a year? still a single core processor? man my cpu is 2 years old, 2.3ghz quad core.
now you can pick em up for $130. save for a year and upgrade. Im sure you'd rather be seeing graphics that'll open your eyeballs instead of, "man i wish my pc was better" or "fuck this looks shit"

Depending on where your located i might have some personal recommendations other then OEM Laptops.
