I think the original WoW cinematic was awesome. Doesnt get much praise. Makes you want to play the game, thats what a cinematic should do. I didnt feel that with the latest D3 one.
Hmm, so you want to play a obvious kiting/ranged dps class, and not have to run/kite for your life?
What world do you live in?
If running and using your range doesnt appeal to you, then I think you should roll a tankier melee champ, because that is exactly how those heroes are gonna play out, as they have in every game out there.
On my wow hunter? I kite. On a sniper in a fps, guess what? I kite and run once someone gets near me.
It's also interesting that all of you people complaining about it are not taking into account that there are also many people who like the cinematic very much.
Why dont you take your own advice and realize a bunch of us felt it extremely underwhelming compared to Blizzard's previous works/game cinematics.
Why is it when you dont like something you are a hater and need to gtfo basically.
Like I personally think the graphics are horrible. Me saying that will get me flamed till the end of the earth and my judgement questioned simply because I think they waited so long to release it. Go ahead and flame me for saying the graphics in d3 are terrible now.
Mine runs pretty crappy too. I get noticable screen lag when alot of things are on screen sometimes, and I get little hiccups when I blow up barrels or open chests, whatever. When I load a map or head to a new place, all small fps drops it seems, and some lag.
Really irritates me. Has to be the beta.
I just rebuilt my comp last week. I play Tribes:Ascend, Skyrim, BF3, (and some lesser games), all very high with 0 hiccups.
I got:
2500k(with hyper 212, runs cool)
560ti
8gb ram
And a clean as a whistle fresh Windows 7 install, and mine has noticeable skips and freezes. Its not gamebreaking, but it is very irritating, esp. since I just put the thing together and everything else runs fine.
So I dont think it is your computer. My temps are way low too.
I understand where your coming from. I enjoy soloing content and being able to mow down hordes of monsters solo.
But at the same time as I recollect on my d2 days I dont remember having to party up even being a big deal.
I did countless xp runs, boss runs, and the occasional hard to solo checkpoints in groups without even speaking to the other people. They might as well been NPCs.
I'm sure it will be the same way. I played alot of hardcore and there you were almost required to group for some parts because it simply wasnt worth the trouble of dying trying to solo it unless you vastly outlvled the encounter. Or to lvl faster before cow runs came into the game.
So I dont see how you being anti-social is gonna effect you simply not saying a word to your party. Just run around, farm gear and do difficult encounters with a group until your guy is powerful enough to solo it. It was the same way in d2 for a long time, esp. if you played hardcore.
Just like diablo 2, you see a "act2 run" or some crap you join it, party up, say nothing and just merc monsters until you are bad enough to do it yourself.
I dont see why people are upset about this at all. Who actually plays diablo offline when your net or servers are down? I used to try that and got bored fairly quickly and just played something else until net came back.
I can see why ppl are mad at SC2 because it has a single player mode that most wont even do if they can get online. Thats something I used to dabble in when my net was out.
Who really spent that much time playing d2 offline? Honestly? Who would really spend that much time playing d3 offline?
I hope there is alot of attrition and all of us get a chance to test it out. I would get bored of the same stuff fairly quick. I dunno how some of you say you can play 1/3 of the game 1000 times.
I just wanna test all the characters out and see which one fits me best before the game comes out. Would be nice to be able to do that much
Just take a screwdriver and pop the windows key off. Problem solved, money saved. I used to have to do this all the time in WC3 and Dota.
It might not look pretty but it works.
Knock over drink of choice. Buy new keyboard.
:-p
Lesson you only gotta learn once. I used to keep drinks and crap right beside my stuff, ruined some things and have better placement and sense now lol.
haha, I went with "waterproof keyboard" instead.
At a place I used to stay at, I put my comp near an air conditioning window unit once to stay cool while I played. It froze up one day when I wasnt home and sprayed a little bit of water out. Fried my monitor.

Thanks for the help everyone. I ended up ordering a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate today. My reasons are as follows.
1)I want a keyboard that supports macros
2)I want a keyboard that is backlit
3)I have been reading about mechanical keyboards and now I think they are the best option
4)I want a keyboard with the ability to shut off the windows key
I think with the reasons that I listed above, the Razer Blackwidow Ultimate is a no brainer. Thanks for the information and helping me make my decision. I knew next to nothing about mechanical keyboards and didn't even know that they were available for gaming keyboards prior to reading these posts.

They could have done a better job, would have liked to see the beginning battles in 3d.
They skimp sometimes, like the ingame cutscenes in WoW they started going to(like the wrath gate, such a waste).
Could have been alot better, didnt instill the same "hell yea" as most(like skyrim)
