Wow - this post was exactly what was running through my head. I dont want to hover my mouse over a skill and see 1/2 page of formulaes and crap, i wanna see something that easily translates to - use a fast weapon, or get more attack power.
Then when i get to inferno and start min/maxing, ill be happy to look up a web page and start running complicated maths (games that require maths, just enjoy it people sheesh)
Besides, add a rune to the skill and the skill is changed completely......

On the other hand, my wizz at first was easier as i was nowhere near the mobs and so i had less chance of getting hit. Got harder as the mobs got tougher as well, but once you hit 13 you are outclassing all the mobs so it doesn't count.
In multiplayer though, (at least in the betain the beta) mobs melt like butter, and yet so many mobs come at my wizard, even though he's in the back, that i still have to keep on my toes. This will probably get trickier as we get further into the game im hoping.
Cant say ranged will be boring, but neither will melee (in fact, all the classes have felt fun to play so far)

AWESOMPANTS - for my wizzard
FistingFury - for my monk

Can someone tell me how to show my lag and fps? i looked around in the options but couldnt find it
My ping is usually fine on games, the thing i noticed was that on friday night here it was super fast. then saturday around midday, early afternoon it got a lot slower. same thing last night, it was fast as, then today around lunch - bam slow.
Im not that interested to do the time calculations (just enough to winge on a forum) but i put it down to more players getting on.
I just assumed they would keep the servers in america, but have more of em on release (is this how they do WOW? i havent looked that up)
I suppose they did just invite a couple more people (LOL) and complaining about the ame after getting the beta is bad for my karma, ill just play the game and wait the 4 weeks required *Cries*

Seriously, we need some chemo from the admins to get rid of cancer threads like these......

OMG LOL when americans come on at night (my day) ZING - lag, even in single player games.
I know the beta is on limited hardware compared to what the real servers are on, but what worries me is that there is such a huge difference in playing on battle.net and single player here in diablo 2.
Will we have the same issues because the single player IS on battle.net?
For a long time me and my mates would vpn up to play D2 because hitting the servers was just too much lag. and rubberbanding? gotta love it.
As an alternative, why doesnt Blizzard get some rack space in australia? I know lots of companies (mine included) that wouldnt mind selling some space in australia for a small (but growing) company like Blizz, if it would help the (gaming) community.
Or you could put it in my room, ill put a fibre to it
EDIT: lol do i use enough brackets in this post? vote (once only) now

Opt in for the beta day one it was available, get the beta on friday and play it all weekend.
Thats what i did, and now im bored of it.
Not the game itself mind you, just the beta content, getting 5x lv 13's was fun, but now i want more!
Oh well, i just got FF9 on the PSP, might give that 4 weeks.....

If diablo is all about finding *That* piece of gear that is just better than the one you have, it sort of makes it redundant in my mind.
Dont see the point of messing with a core feature of the game...

I have a generator, and my internet is 3g (with a 6ft mast!) but if the power goes out, ill turn off the pc and keep the food cold.
Im surprised at the moderate posting, i was expecting entirely a different type of reply, mostly from hardcore gamers who have done this before.....
Oh, and my 'kids' are either all virtual or animal, im irrational, not irresponsible!

Diablo 3 is srs bsns, must flame everything!
The intent was to create a thread where people discuss the techniques of no-lifing.
moving on...

Everything is set for the big launch.
In australia the release time is 5:00 pm.
Diablo3 installer is pre-downloaded, Teamviewer will let me start installing the second it becomes available.
I have organised for the rest of the week off, 5 days of nothing but Diablo.
Social and romantic engagements have been suspended/postponed (or set to pre-organised appointments, wasnt easy, why do women have such a problem with this?)
........Hmmmmm....
Now what do i do?
As i have never gone into no-life mode before, i need some tips.
Maybe we should share our techniques with one another.
Some things that may become important:
Staying awake: It is a well known fact that lack of sleep affects both our ability to think clearly, and our ability to enjoy what we are doing.
So how much sleep are we going to need? And how do we make sure we stay awake? Im banking on 6-8 hours (normally 8 is good, 10 is better is the rule i have heard)
I will be taking Neuroburn (a thermogenic stimulant, used for dieting/weight loss) which will keep me awake. Red bull is the backup plan.
Anyone else have any good techniquesfor this?
Excercise: I want to stay as alert as possible for this, so i will need my 1 hour a day brisk exercise. Crossfit will do it, but a good jog if i dont feel like driving into town ( i live in the sticks - out of town for you americans)
Anyone else planning on taking breaks during, or is full marathon Diablo the way?
Diet: I have recently given up junk food, being an IT worker has its drawbacks (i.e. putting on the fat) so im gonna bre cook some meals and freez em. But snacking is gonna be important, so its gotta be healthy stuff i can keep in the fridge.
What good healthy snacks do you recommend? Anyone pre-preparing meals? Recipes? Share em if u got em.
Bathing: Come on guys, it only takes 10 mins to have a shower. moving on...
Phone Calls/ Un-necessary interruptions: A phone message taking service has been hired (my GF lol) with specific instructions (can it wait 5 days? no - too bad) Also my charges are getting a nanny (my Dragonvale pets will feel neglected....)
So is there anything important i have missed (besides alcohol, that has been organised for weeks, jelly shooter anyone?) that i should be woried about?
(P.S. the boss is now adding a "reason" line to the time off form. Bwahahahaha)

My favourite is a tie between Blizzkidz and The wii thing.
My cat pissed on my computer chair so this has brightened up my day (the piss funny threads, not the piss-soaked threads)
Whats your fav troll thread so far? Oh and keep posting/replying to them.
