I'm actually gratefull that the server's aren't coming up untill 3AM eastern. Means I can peacfully go to the midnight release, come home and look through the stuff in the CE, maybe even try to nap (not likely possible, too much excitmenet) then play!
If I lived in PST time, I would have to have decided weather I wanted the CE in my hands at midnight, and not start playing untill 12:30ish or use the WoW anuall pass right at midnight.
ARE U SURE ABOUT THIS? THAT SERVERS WONT GO UP TILL 3 AM EASTERN? CAN U PLZ GIVE A LINK OF THIS. THANKS!
I think its right 3 hour difference between PST and EST, blizz headquarter go by PST.

this is now going to turn into the lineage debate thread. way to go grim
sorry bro haha...it is titled Bring on the haters...Im just saying i was blown away by the video....With that said, Im sure I will completely love d3 and im excited as any other but...I wish some aspect of that video wld b in d3...it wld b a dream come true...but then again it wouldnt be d3 if it had that stuff...I guess.
Seems like every other thread I read consists of atleast 3 or 4 posts about how this will be the "BEST GAME EVER"..
Does anyone actually believe that? To me.. D3 is a let down. I am extremely excited to play and get rolling with it no doubt.. but think back to before that first video came out, before screenshots were released.. is the the product you expected?
Sure it has its merits, I think its going to be fun and relatively successful.. but what I imagined for the last what... 12 years since D2.. this just isn't up to par.
The graphics are cool but uninspired. Interactive environments are a neat touch, I dont know what the look of the game is missing but it just seems.. meh. Cant put my finger on it.
Not going to start on the PvP dilemma, we all know thats a major gaffe..
In general, I'm personally not BLOWN AWAY by this release.. would love to hear why I'm wrong and this is the best game ever.
Commence the spitting on my shoes and what not.
im with u bro it didnt blow me away LOVE the customization, looting, story but if it looked like this, I would b much happier...sorry please dont kill me diablo fanboys/girls
-I choose poison dart because it will give me a skill that I can target a specific target with. Plus, with the splinters rune it will increase the damage tremendously.
-The next skill is locust swarm this will be a good skill to control crowds, spam this a couple of times and it will jump to each enemy clearing the road. With the additional, rune skill it will increase the damage of the poison.
-The next skill is grasp of the dead. I choose this because I am sure enemies will b charging at me and with grasp I can slow them down and do damage to the enemy at the same time, while I spam my other skills at them to kill the demons.
-Next, is the zombie charger with the zombie bear rune. This will give me a high damage skill that can target multiple enemies to kill my foes.
-Next, skill is mass confusion this skill is great cause it will not only allow me to control some of the enemies but it will also stun them with the rune I equip which is mass hysteria. While my enemies are busy killing each other and being stunned I will be spamming my other skills to do additional damage to them.
-My final skill is the Gargantuan equipped with the big stinker rune.
passives:
Jungle fortitude. This will reduce the damage of my and my pets.
Pierce the veil: Although it will increase my mana spend hopefully this will not be a problem as I find a item that will help regen my mana. Plus it add 20% more damage to everything.
Bad medicine with a poison build is just logical.
This is the vermin build i am eager to play: Vermin build 1. Firebats (Hungry bats): The basic damage dealing abilty. This is the one ability i will be spamming. 2. Plague of toads (Toad of hugeness): Summon a big toad every 5 sec to neutralize a mob and dot. 3. Locust swarm (Cloud of insects): Good AOE dot. It will effectively activate "bad medecine" passive. 4. Corpse spider (Spider queen): Another summon, what can i say 5. Summon zombie dogs (Life link): Good mitigating ability with some tanking also. 6. Guargantuan (Relentless giant): Another pet which would come handy versus bosses and elites. Damage reduction up to 50% with "bad medecine", "jungle fortitude" and "life link". Vermin gives a 20% damage bonus on 4 of my abilities: 240% weapon damage/sec for FB 72% weapon damage/sec for LS This gives you 312% weapon damage/sec and there are a lot more damage comming from your pets on top of that. Overall, a good sustainable DPS, a lot of tanking abilities and great damage mitigation. I can't really tell if mana wise, there will be any problems yet and it also depends on gear so... A build achievable by level 49, that could've been worse. Any comments welcomed.
EVERYTHING THAT U LISTED R THEY ALL PETS??? IM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME UNDERSTANDING WHAT R PETS AND WHAT R VERMIN?
Vermin are the 4 skills being affected by the "vermin" passive skill which are frogs, locusts, bats and spiders. Pets are zombie dogs and garguantua. Being runed the way they are in this build, you could also consider the spider queen and the giant frog as pets i believe.
much thanks this info was crucial to know when building a pet/ vermin build

i was just looking at my receipt for my collectors edition from back in october and realized... what the hell.. they keep pushing back the game and its already been 4 months and possibly when the game releases... 6 months or so? i think with all these delays we should get extra cool shit in our collectors edition for them delaying the crap outta the game. i understand they are polishing the game, thats cool polish our collectors special items too. just my opinion lol
Lets be honest who would not like more stuff for their money. Especially when money can be tight these days for many people. I realize its is frustrating for most if not all people cause the game gets getting pushed back but deep down we all want it to be the greatest game possible when it is finally reaches our hands. Getting more stuff is always cool but come on we cant ask for more than we have already been provided. The physical/in-game stuff we r given is a lot already.
WE get:
1. The game
2. Diablo Skull base and 4GB usb soulstone ( The USB can be placed into the base which really makes it a set and inside the USB we get Diabo II AND Diablo II: Lord of Destuction
3. Diablo II IN-GAME glowing angel wings AND an exclusive BANNER AND DYE that can be used on armor which does it ever run out. (dye colors: CLOUD and SMOKE
-WOW fetish shaman pet (which runs around by ur side in game.
-Starcraft 2- portraits.
4. BLU-ray/dvd BEHIND THE SCENES ( 2 disc)
5. 208 page ART OF DIABLO 3 BOOK.
HOWEVER, IF THEY WANT TO ADD SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD NOT MINE BUT IM GOOD EITHER WAY.
PS IF THEY DO ADD SOMETHING I WANT IT TO BE AN IN-GAME THING THAT CAN B DOWNLOADED AT A LATER DATE NO PHYSICAL STUFF CAUSE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DELAY THE GAME FURTHER.
Every night I go to bed thinking maybe tomorrow I will wake up and hear of a release date.
Honestly before patch 10 I wanted the game out as soon as possible but after patch 10 they have soooooooooo many bugs it is redick! They need to go through this game with a fine needle and TAKE THEIR TIME. I DO THINK ALL THIS HATE AND FORUMS SAYING RELEASE THE GAME NOW IS GETTING TO SOME OF THE WORKERS OF BLIZZARD on a small scale (Im sure they r pretty thick skinned but u never know). I HATE TO THINK THAT ALL THIS HATE IS MAKING THEM RUSH; BELIEVE ME IT WILL HURT US MORE THAN THEM WHEN WE GET THIS GAME AND IT IS FILLED WITH BUGS. WE ALL NEED TO LET THEM DO WHAT THEY DO WHICH IS MAKE A GREAT GAME AND A COMPLETE GAME. I know we all have been waiting for X amount of years and this is a long wait any way u look at it but lets b gentle.
As for the tool tips I think it is a great idea, I have some friends that will be playing diablo for the first time on d3 and it will help out a lot when it comes to figuring out the logistics of the game. So try not to bash them for wanting them to make the best game possible for YOU and everyone else...instead continue or begin by helping them by reporting bugs and giving suggestions in a constructive matter. If u r here on the forums to just VENT then by all means go ahead and do what u got to do but repeating and repeating "I want the game now" is NOT going to make the game release quicker.
The main point of the beta is a stress test in small scale. They are using a small server and testing with just it so then if something goes wrong they don't have a tun of servers to deal with . Its not a matter of what they could do, its what should be done. Besides, once you get the beta you'll only ask for more content. Getting in the beta is both a blessing and a curse.
that makes sense about wanting to fix things with fewer servers then many. I rather have the blessing and the curse and play the beta then keep watching videos of other people playing it. worse blue balls ever
