    I think that it is safe to say the Monday 14th will feel like one of the longest days this year.


    Really? I thought everybody's plan was to get so drunk they pass out until 11:45...>.>
    I would, but unfortunately I have to to play sport on Tuesday before I go to pick up D3 so I don't want to be chuckin' my guts all day.

    sports??? gross!

    probably your graphics card. i was having the same problem on my laptop. the first time i played the beta, i immediately put all graphic settings on high. the game stuttered to the point of being unplayable. All i had to do is change shadow detail back down to medium and it ran perfectly.

    if that still doesn't work, try turning off anti aliasing if it is on.

    My gfx card is OK...but if I can play crysis 2 at FULL settings...I should be able to play d3 as a fucking hologram lol

    you never know...they re different games. I can run starcraft2 with everything turned to ultra, but like i said above D3 stutters for me on the highest graphical settings...

    posted a message on Ranged class advantage over melee
    Quote from Threndsa

    If there was nothing but auto attacking maybe but they gave the melee classes the tools the need to survive. As a monk I have plenty of mobility with a dash and a teleport rune on an attack. A direct heal an hp regen steroid (mantra). A summonable companion that can soak hits. Several shields/no damage zones, a blind. Seven sided strike makes you immune during its animation.

    Monks do more than walk up and punch things.

    and Deadly Reach! If you hold down the force stand still button and attack with that skill, you can kill things without them getting within melee range.

    posted a message on Pre emptive strike on inferno.....unbelievable
    I don't know why people are surprised at this...in the employee testimonial about inferno, they said that the aoe damage from common enemies is often enough to one shot you

    Inferno inst for everybody. Normal is for casual players and inferno is for the hardcore. Then there are difficulties in between to fit everyone's needs :)

    posted a message on Responsiveness of Primary Skill and lack of auto-attack
    Quote from Bleu42

    Quote from ButtonNose

    I was having a little bit of trouble with the demon hunter at first. I would try to attack from afar, but would often click the ground beside the monster and start walking towards them instead of attacking. I fixed this by mapping the force attack button to alt so my thumb could easily hold it down whenever I was attacking something.

    I donno how the barb mechanics work but with the monk I would do the same thing; hold down alt to force attack. It just feels better and more controlled. Also be conscious of your trigger finger. Its easy to get excited and click too many times which may trigger a combo and lock you in place until the combo is done...

    EDIT: wait, I just reread your question. I dont think thats true. Im pretty sure if you click on a monster you can cancel the attack command by clicking somewhere else...

    Not sure if you know (not trying to be a douche here) but you can hold shift and your character won't move. I use this for my DH all the time, so I can spam shots (while sometimes hitting the ground instead of an enemy) and not moving.

    yeah. like i said I remapped the force attack button to alt because i find it super awkward to hold down shift.

    posted a message on Knives!!!
    Quote from Antirepublican

    Obviously this build needs a tittle...how about SHANK!

    I like it!

    now i would change Tactical Advantage to Cull the Weak since I have a lot of snare abilities and that extra damage to the slowed enemies would be nice.

    and yeah, ideally I would go with Multishot instead of Strafe, but I just like the idea of spinning randomly and throwing knives everywhere.

    posted a message on How Many People Will Die From Marathoning When Diablo 3 Goes Live?
    Quote from Veggie50

    you've done well showing your ability to sit on your high horse not disproving it. That goes both ways bud. tytyty
    You supposedly being a psychology major, I do assume you have had some courses in filosophy of science? Considering we're basically using Lakatos' system of advanced falsification you should know that verification is a feat impossible in the field of science. All we can do is provide conclusive proof that something is NOT true, because then we wouldn't need the faulty reasoning of induction. That's why the demarcation criteria (criteria of what is science, and what is not) is such a hard problem.

    To get back to your quote, astrology hasn't been conclusively disproven either. Does that mean you believe there could be something to it?

    heres something; the book...can also be...a hat :)

    posted a message on Why play hardcore?
    Quote from Makesh

    A warning though, once you take a liking to hardcore you'll never enjoy softcore again, atleast that was the case for me in D2. ^^

    You play a completely different ball game in hardcore, and when you go back to softcore it all feels so pointless since the worst thing that could ever happen is you having to run for a bit.

    not true! I grew fond of hardcore mode in D2 until my character died :( then a cried a little and went back to softcore forever.
