    Also, I'm pretty sure the 2 armor dyes aren't a new special color. If I remember correctly, the d3 website has the colors listed as one of the other colors.
    Hell maybe even make it have a special effect. Like smoke causing a slight smokey effect around your character or something. To differentiate CE from reg

    Ill try to find the post, but im 99.9% sure there is a blue post saying those colors are unqiue only to the CE edition

    The wings are an item you hold in your inventory (don't take up an equipment slot on your character), and it's a toggle. Use to turn on, use again to turn off. They're awesome looking, and stack with other class effects like Shadow Power and Archon.

    I do agree with you on this part... to make the CE Cloud or Smoke color really unique, really special and really distinguishable from the other normal game colors, Blizzard should make it have a special effect like Cloud causes a slight cloudy (white) effect and Smoke to cause a slight smokey (dark smoke) effect around the piece of gear or armor that it was applied on to.

    My question to Blizz is this, will that same CE unique color stay in effect if the person trades the gear or puts it up in auction?
    If there is no way to identify a CE account to that of a regular account, then everyone would have the special colored gear as well.

    I think, Blizzard should be able to have a way or device a code that only players playing with the CE authenticated keys would be able to use any armor dyed with these CE unique colors.

    http://us.battle.net/d3/en/item/dye/ was the link I was referring to. Just seems strange they would give them to same name as other colors. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if blizz holds their word

    DiabloWiki just need to change the names for these two colors which are unique only to players playing with the CE keys.

    We don't get to see the animation of the wings.
    They seem more like girly extended shoulder pads than imperius/tyrael wings,
    they look like a spell straight out of world of warcraft instead of the immense tendrils they're supposed to be.

    Edit. My fear is that they look too little like





    As you have seen, the CE wings does look like this:





    I do wish Blizzard can make it look a little more like that of Tyrael's angel wings.

    They could add some more tendrils that drops off downwards with maybe the lowest one actually touching the ground.
    This way, it would also be distinguishable from Shadow Power and Archon. I think people with CE sporting these angel wings would actually enhance the angelic wings and make it more awesome whenever they use the Shadow Power or Archon which would stack over the CE angel wings. That's awesome there and there.

    posted a message on Starter Edition to feature the entire Normal difficulty?
    Starter packs would be for those undecided people who does not want to participate with the rush of people who will be on-line on the midnight of May 15.

    I don't think these starter packs would be that important on release day or even a week after release because a lot of Diablo fanatics would have had their hands on the game and are grounding it. Maybe, after these undecided people hear how great the game is from their friends and peers, they would try out a little of the game using the starter pack, then decide if they really want to purchase the licensed version.

    So, what are you doing right now? Keeping yourself busy too?

    Anybody, live streaming their Beta Patch 15 game play?
    Please post your Twitch or Justin TV link here.
    I want to see the updates Blizzard has done with the Patch 15.

    I don't have the mouse... I am using a Logitech MX Revolution Rechargeable Cordless Laser Mouse.

    Anyway, here is a short video of RedFlamingo owning the Fields of Misery with his 90dps Barbarian:

    Watch the video and fast forward to time stamp 5:30 and listen to his commentary about the Steel Series D3 mouse he recently got and is using in that video.
    Hope you've pre-ordered your D3 game already... stocks will run out soon enough.

    I've seen that picture a hundred times, and I've been unable to take them seriously each and every time.
    The aesthetic aspects are just a bonus for the CE package. You are really paying for the other physical goodies that comes with the game inside the CE box.
    My only advice, make up your mind a.s.a.p. or else, time will come wherein if they run out of stocks and you decide that you really wanted it then, you'll be left feeling the lost and say: "I should have pre-ordered back then when they had announced it."
    That sucks!


    Quote from Keiser

    Walmart doesn't take preorders. That's been my plan all along. Install digital version, walk into Walmart at 11:45pm, walk out at 12:05am with CE, go home, put in key, playing by 12:15am (let me google map it... 1.6 mile drive).
    Good luck with that. Only problem with the process they have is that there is no guarantee that when you walk into Walmart at 11:45pm on May 14, that there is no long line outside of avid Diablo fanatics who are also eager to get their hands on the game; that people who arrived earlier before you, weren't able to buy up all the stocks for the CE; that Walmart got enough stock available to cater all the people who would be there for the in-store pick-up.
    My brother and I, paid for the CE already from the local store, an 8-mile drive away from my house, which secures my right to the game whether I arrive early or late. We are guaranteed a copy whatever happens.

    Nice one. Cain said to "Stay awhile and listen."

    I already secured my CE copy yesterday and my brother as well. Seems we wont be able to play on the opening midnight, unless the store we bought the CE from will open at midnight as well. In any case, we will be playing the whole day of May 15, and we're totally not going to work at all for 2 days straight. lol!

    Quote from Kodachii

    This may sound silly but I can't preorder the CE until I get visual confirmation as to what the cosmetic stuff will actually look like on various characters/items.
    It doesn't sound silly at all. It called being careful of what you're buying.
    Well, the armor dyes and angel wings are all just aesthetics and on the link below you will see the contents of the Collector's Edition box of Diablo III and how the angel wings would look:
    http://us.battle.net/d3/en/services/collectors-edition/

    Problem is, GameStop had reach their quota for the D3 CE. I'm not sure if since early today, Amazon had also reached their maximum quota. If so, then sounding silly or not wouldn't matter at all since you might have already run out of retail store that still sells the CE.
    Like one guy said, I've been freakin waiting for the game to come out for 10 years... and now that it's here, there is no point of letting the opportunity to own the limited Collector's Edition pass by.

    You always have the choice of getting the $59.99 game package instead.

    Just got back since I left this morning after I posted this topic... I'm so happy and grinning from ear to ear.
    I got to pre-order the Collector's Edition from a local store here in Anaheim, CA.
    Now my brother's and I would be able to play all the time.
    :)

    Sitting back and just counting the days off the next 2 months time until Diablo III is finally in my hands.
    lol!

    I have a pre-order of Diablo III from Target which means I can play the game on the midnight release.

    But I'm interested on the CE (Collector's Edition) and all the goodies that comes with it... so how do you go about to get your hands on the CE?

    posted a message on Why Strafe sucks!
    I've been watching a lot of players streaming their Beta play on-line, and it is seldom I see people use Strafe that much.
    Maybe because at a low level, the damage it causes isn't really that significant yet. Still, with 1, 2, 3, 5 or a mob of enemies, the arrows should auto-target each and every one of them, which it does not.

    The main difference I think between Strafe in D2 and that of Diablo III is that, on D2, your attack is mainly focused on the direction that your character is facing, while the Strafe on that of Diablo III has a 360 degrees angle of cover. Meaning, you still fire arrows from the direction which you've come from, which is a big waste of Hatred.
    Since the arrows are fired off a 360 degree angle, there is no guarantee that all of these arrows will hit a target, which is why like Glitterpony had said: it's only fun for barrel-destroying.

    Strafe on Diablo III is not, and I repeat, IS NOT as effective as it was in D2.
    Maybe in higher levels, it would step-up and be a very effective AoE skill or a useful crowd control. We cant prove this for only Blizzard employees playing internal Alpha has used the skill in higher levels, but this may be the case since Blizzard made sure that the skill has a high pre-requisite level requirement.
    The thing I've seen is that using Rapid Fire is turning out to be players' better skill choice for killing Diablo's minions faster.

    Whatever their reason is for doing what Blizzard did, of however effective the skill would really turn out to be, I do wish they would fix this issue with Strafe and make it less Hatred consuming.
    Maybe they could attach some kind of limiter, wherein the skill wont fire any arrows if there are no monsters within a 35 or 40 yards radius.
    This way the skill will not use up Hatred unnecessarily if there are no jars, barrels or monsters nearby, simply because it will not fire any arrows at all.

    Quote from Gekkeloko

    Sweet laptop , wonder how long the battery goes on ultra @ skyrim , or any other high GPU Ram eater ^^
    That's a very simple problem, I never put the battery in. I always use my laptop plugged into the wall outlet and leave out the battery.
    Having the battery in, overcharges it and shortens its battery lifespan. So, I either go to a library, Starbucks or a cafe at the lobby of the hotel I'm staying at whenever I need to play and I am not at home.


    Quote from Soul

    That top laptop is nice but for 2.6K you could build yourself a VERY VERY nice desktop PC also i7's are a waste unless your using a multi-threading capable program...

    I'm getting a new pc built "Soontm".
    Good luck with that. I already have a desktop PC at home, but I'm always out of the house so having the MSI GT685R, will make playing Diablo III very accessible to me anytime I want to. I don't need to be at home or to rush home as soon as I get out of work.
    Portability sold me the laptop as my first choice. Besides, the price in Newegg.com or Frys.com is not 2.6K. It's just a little over 2K now.

    For big laptop enthusiasts:

    Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM Processor
    ~ 17.3" Full HD Anti-reflective Display (16:9; 1920 x 1080)
    ~ NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 580M discrete graphics (DDR5 2.0GB VRAM)
    ~ Full-color programmable backlit keyboard by SteelSeries
    ~ 128GB SSD + 750GB HDD (7200 RPM)
    & 16GB DDR3 system memory (RAM upgradeable up to 32GB)

    They started selling this on Newegg about a month ago, but they seem to have run out of stock already.
    Click here: MSI GT783-625US Limited Edition



    I'm saving up for this one instead: MSI GT685R with the 120GB SSD & 16GB of RAM as well.
