With the new way of creating/joining games over BNET 2.0, I was wondering something.
If I make a game, and my buddy joins me, but then I decide to jump on another toon (so I log out to swap), the game disconnects upon my leaving. Is this how the new system will work, or just a beta thing?
DII Sorceress:
30 passive and active skills divided amongst 3 skill trees
Synergies promoting additional damage for other spells
99 skill pointss from levels plus 4 per difficulty gives 111 to allocate
to obtain all thirty skills, you are left with 81 points, which can be used to max out 4 abilities (rounded)
So you get 4 fully powered abilities (skill maxed), with a few 1 (or low) point wonders
DIII Wizard:
16 passive skills, which allow you to choose 3
25 active skills, which allow you to choose 6 fully
each of the 25 skills can be augmented 6 different ways, changing them more significantly than "synergies" from DII, sometimes changing how the skill even functions
So where is the lack of customization? you have more skills (16+25=41 in DIII vs 30 in DII), that can be altered more significantly than DII offered
I put all of the settings to "off" or "low" when allowed. I forget if I turned off VSync or not.
After reading more (on official forums) it seems lots of people, with higher end rigs than my own, are experiencing similar problems too. A buddy also mentioned that playing the game before it is fully downloaded (while in the yellow 'playable' mode) has a negative effect on performance, so I'm going to try again tonight.
I just started playing beta last night, and was experiencing some extremely choppy game play (I think due to graphics, since latency was fine).
I've spent the morning checking out all the recommended hardware before I go out and buy a new video card, but it seems I'm already beating the recommended requirements.
My drivers are up to date as well. Is the 550ti just not capable of handling a smooth playing Diablo 3? I even tried lowering the graphics setting and it didn't realy help that much. The problems are worse when multiple enemies are on the screen, or more detailed environmental effects are occurring.

Wizard's Blur will reduce melee damage taken by 20%, but would ranged damage dealt as "physical" qualify under this?

I've spent the morning checking out all the recommended hardware before I go out and buy a new video card, but it seems I'm already beating the recommended requirements.
I use an i5 2500k with 4g memory and a GTX 550ti video card, which all rate above the blizzard "recommended" hardware according to benchmark sites like http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php and http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
My drivers are up to date as well. Is the 550ti just not capable of handling a smooth playing Diablo 3? I even tried lowering the graphics setting and it didn't realy help that much.

Any help or advice is appreciated, thanks guys.
