    You're screwed. You'll need a new machine altogether. :/

    @Xenubis

    I think the RAM is your primary concern. 2GB of DDR2 is simply very low. Especially if you're on Win Vista/7 as it may reserve up to a full Gigabyte to run smoothly. I'd advise you to check your motherboard if you have DDR3 slots and just buy 4GBs of that. If not, then add at least 2 more Gigs to your already existing ram.

    This still might not fix your issue thought. From what I've read the game is very CPU intensive. Your 2 cores might just not be enough. But just to be sure buy the RAM first as it's too low with 100% certainty. If the game still has issues - you're going to have to get a new CPU as well. The i3 and i5 Intel CPUs are currently pretty cheap. Make sure to go for a Revision 3 model (designated with a 4 digit model name). Also be sure to see if your motherboard can support it.

    Already posted in your thread. Go check it out. :)

    @Therutz

    Sadly your case is very close to that of xx2112xx. Your graphics card is low-end and your CPU is 7 years old. That 1GB memory is only enough to run Windows and some pretty graphically weak games. I'm afraid you'll have to gather up some cash for a new machine if you want to try Diablo 3. If you want this forum to help out on building you a new PC you can post a price range and I'm sure there will be people around that will help you choose a good system. :)

    posted a message on [SPOILER] Zoltun Kulle
    Well yeah. I mean, he did create it, but not the material itself - it's part of the Worldstone. He "made" it what it is right now.
    But I don't see Zoltun being that much of a character seeing as he shows up as early as mid-Act 2.

    edit: Added spoiler in title due to popular demand. :P

    Quote from Yellr

    I hope its a flat release time so there is no chance of any spoilers before i play.
    Well I don't want to wait for Americans to wake up so I can play the game in my Time zone. Kinda arrogant is it not? I, after all, pay the same money as well, perhaps even more as I buy the game in Euro. :)

    posted a message on Ping The Damn Map
    The obvious reason to not have this ingame is that the minimap is not an actual object. If it was it would block a lot of screen space that won't be clickable. Also lots of accidental pings.

    I particularly don't find pinging that needed to be honest. :)

    posted a message on *Fun Facts* This blizzard did not create Diablo 2.
    The Blizzad North team was disbanded and invited into Blizzard HQ. The ones that didn't want it because their halfassed D3 back in 2004 was canceled went ahead and made Flagship Studios or joined other companies.

    "Former Blizzard North staffers including Joseph Lawrence, Wyatt Cheng and Matt Uelmen subsequently appeared in the credits of Blizzard's next retail release, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade. The work of former Blizzard North artist Phroilan Gardner was also featured in editions of World of Warcraft: The Trading Card Game around the same time."

    From http://en.wikipedia..../Blizzard_North

    I can go into details and probably find other people that continued in Blizzard as well. But this is enough to debunk the myth of Blizzard North being "fired". :)

    Not to mention Vivendi didn't like that version of Diablo 3. Not Blizzard. And they hold both companies. And now also Activision.

    Sp... Spoilers?

    Of what?

    The Class Sigils aren't really spoilers. What would be spoiled if you knew what they looked like? Its just a banner sigil.
    Not only the 10th reward but also the sigils are, as well, spoilers, because they're part of a hidden planned surprise. Which is like... the definition of spoiler.

    posted a message on Mules?
    You're pigeon-holeing yourself by not using other services that Blizzard have provided for your ease. You destroy items for materials to make better, more superior items. You sell them on the AH to level your Artisans, repair your gear and craft gems for it.

    On top of those you will have 175 slots for items, not including character inventories.

    You're the one limiting yourself.
