Ok I wanted to start a post about what people will be doing the day diablo 3 hits stores, basicly imagine you went the the midnight release your holding your copy on the way to your computer.
-Who are you with
-What did you do untill midnight?
-Did you stop off for snacks,or anything or did you get to your computer in 15 seconds.
-What will you do while its installing
-Will you watch intro movies or skip to game play?
-Did you take time off work or are you pulling an all nighterr.
-Single player or Bnet first?
This is an imagination thread,its a game of sorts if you dont wanna play dont post.
alot of dfans including myself have waited along time for diablo 3 to be released
and im sure im not the only one thats planned it all in my head a thounsand times.
I'll be with my roommates, and probably a few of my other friends and my brother.
We'll probably be in line a good few hours before midnight.
Nah, we'll more than likely head right home.
If it's anything like SC2 I'll have it already downloaded and it'll just be awaiting my game key entry.
I will probably skip by the movies to try and get the character names I want, but after I try to hold them I'll go back and watch the videos. Always loved Blizzard videos.
I'm in the process of switching jobs so I doubt I'd be able to take time off work, but here's hoping. If it's like the Cataclysm release with the servers going live at 12:00am Pacific, that is 4:00am my time as I live in Atlantic Canada, so it will be late. I may even just sleep after getting home and set my alarm for 3:30am.
I'll definitely log on B.Net first but I'll be playing by myself.
Cheers to all, and hope your opening night, or whenever you buy the game is a great one for all of you =)
Myself & A friend. -What did you do untill midnight?
Hung out with friends, talked about D3 and came home around 10:00PM'ish to make sure my computer was all updated & ready for the release of Diablo 3. -Did you stop off for snacks,or anything or did you get to your computer in 15 seconds?
I've picked up a box of wheat thins or Ritz Bitz Cheese. -What will you do while its installing?
Listen to the background story that will hopefully be told just like Starcraft 2's installation intro. -Will you watch intro movies or skip to game play?
I'll be watching intro's of course, the more you know.
-Did you take time off work or are you pulling an all nighter?
All nighter more than likely. -Single player or Bnet first?
-Who are you with?
Likely no one. I have a couple of friends who *may* come with me if there's a midnight release, though they probably will not be buying it, at least not on release night.
-What did you do until midnight?
Ensure that all the necessary preparations are made to keep me stationary at my uber-geek command center for at least 8 hours; meal-type food, dessert, snack-type food, beverages, etc.
-Did you stop off for snacks or anything or did you get to your computer in 15 seconds?
This was taken care of before I picked up the game, probably even the day before.
-What will you do while its installing?
Immediately after the install no longer requires my attention/input, I will be heading outside to light a fat one :Thumbs Up:. After I've burned that down with my buddy, I'll read the manual and possibly browse the art book, though another poster made a good point about leaving the art book until after playing a complete run through.
-Will you watch the intro movie or skip to game play?
Of course I'll watch it. Blizzard creates interactive stories. No chapter, prologue or epilogue should be missed. Plus, it'd be breaking with tradition if I didn't. I've seen every Diablo cinematic released to date, and they've always been exceptional. Plus I wanna know if it was that fell from the Heavens and became the fireball that hits Old Tristram Cathedral.
-Did you take time off work or are you pulling an all-nighter?
It all depends on when release day is. If it's released on a Friday night (yea right, I know) then no. 48 solid hours will be good enough. But if it's released during the week some time... I've got some vacation pay saved up. Won't take off more than 2 days though.
-Single player or Bnet first?
I assume the question is SP or Co-op first. Probably SP, cuz I don't think anyone I know will be playing that night. That could change though.

Einstein said only two things were infinite; The Universe and human stupidity. He later corrected this to reflect the finite nature of the Universe.
-Who are you with
I am at home alone, but its ok, Ive got my two Diablo loving friends on skype
-What did you do until midnight?
chat chat with them and head over to my local midnight opening store (should be pretty empty since it was for SC2)
-Did you stop off for snacks,or anything or did you get to your computer in 15 seconds.
I had the snacks already! I even borrowed a mini fridge from someone so my home brew ice tea supply and fruit&cheese plates are handy at all times.
-What will you do while its installing
alter between checking the box contents and seeing what the install story is.
-Will you watch intro movies or skip to game play?
Watch the movies! (and they better be epic!)
-Did you take time off work or are you pulling an all nighterr.
All nighter, though I may be able to arrange my schedule such that I have that Wed. free, without taking time off. (I can do that with my job)
-Single player or Bnet first?
This depends on if the aforementioned friends want to go multi and if they were able to pick it up. I don't care, I just want to get my Doc out there!

If that made sense to you, Bravo! I think I even confused myself...
-Did you stop off for snacks,or anything or did you get to your computer in 15 seconds.
get to computer in 1 second
-What will you do while its installing
stare the computer few minutes.. walk in circles at the room thinking "omg, finnaly".. check the instalattion.. walk again.. check.. walk.. check.. walk.. check.. DONE!
-Will you watch intro movies or skip to game play?
watch the movies sure
-Did you take time off work or are you pulling an all nighterr.
dunno.. i believe i'll all night 2 or 3 first days

and im sure im not the only one thats planned it all in my head a thounsand times.
I am alone irl.
I got snacks beforehand, had them readily awaiting
I will read forums while it is installing as well as talk to friend on skype(who is doing the same)
Intro movies ftw
I probably wont have a job, still
BNET FTW
-Who are you with?
Im with my Three friends Luke, Jordan, and Austin
-What did you do untill midnight?
Sit outside of gamestop and play Diablo 2
-Did you stop off for snacks,or anything or did you get to your computer in 15 seconds.
Snacks were bought beforehand, so we can stay up all night.
-What will you do while its installing
Chat over how excited we all are for the game, and have a contest to see who gets is done first!
-Will you watch intro movies or skip to game play?
I will watch every second of cutscene in that game, I always do that with a new game.
-Did you take time off work or are you pulling an all nighterr.
Im pulling an all nighter and will probably miss college classes the next day.
-Single player or Bnet first?
Battle.net because D3 wont be LAN. We actually have 2 parties of 4 people one in Florida (me and my friends) and one in illinois/canada (online friends). We are going to try and keep up with each other as if we were all playing the game together =D.
I cannot wait for this game, the anticipation is welling within me. I need a beta to calm the storm that brews!
And from what I see there are a lot of people who will be playing alone on here. Message me and we can skype it up on the release night and have an awesome time!
Probably nobody. Anyone who's playing with me would probably be at their own house playing.
-What did you do untill midnight?
Whatever I had to do that day. I pre-ordered from Future Shop and got $20 off the retail price, so I don't think it's coming at midnight. I don't mind though, who knows if the servers will even work with that much stress in the opening hours. In any case, I've waited years and years, what's another 12 hours hehe.
-Did you stop off for snacks,or anything or did you get to your computer in 15 seconds.
Whenever the thing get's delivered, I'll set it to install and eat something. Snacks = roasted almonds and water. Later on in the night if I smoke some pot, I'll likely get the munchies and grab salty snacks + sugary drinks.
-What will you do while its installing
Listen to music?
-Will you watch intro movies or skip to game play?
Of course. Who's gonna skip the cinematics?
-Did you take time off work or are you pulling an all nighter?
Depends on when the game is released. If it's out in December, then it's gonna be all nighter. I'm off school Dec. 15 until January 7th every year so if it's somewhere there or even before that period, it's definitely hectic. Likely it'll be after, and so it all depends on school. I don't work full time.
-Single player or Bnet first?
Bnet of course, co-op online play with some buddies.
-What did you do until midnight?
Bite my nails, pace back and forth, get to the gamestop rediculously early, rock back and forth in the fetal position whilst in the line
-Did you stop off for snacks,or anything or did you get to your computer in 15 seconds.
15 seconds is too long. Like, 2.
-What will you do while its installing
Stare at the installation screen, hoping to the gods there's no error for any reason
-Will you watch intro movies or skip to game play?
Watch them
-Did you take time off work or are you pulling an all nighter.
Time off work, definitely. Possibly for 2 weeks.
If the midnight launch is anything close to the Starcraft 2 launch, I'll probably be up at midnight buying one of the first few copies (preferably a Collector's Edition one).
Then I'll probably proceed to rush/destroy the story mode in singleplayer with a Wizard as fast as possible just to know the story spoilers (which I'll try to avoid in the "beta" if I get in). Probably finish it before I get any sleep (just like I did with SC2 o.O took me 12 straight hours to finish the campaign on hard, but boy, did it feel good!).
Proceed to multiplayer with awesome self-esteem and tons of gameplay knowledge already to impress people =D

Battlenets Single Player.
Monk > Wizard > Barbarian > Demon Hunter > Witch Doctor
