From what I have read StarCraft II and Cataclysm were launched without issues and downtime.

I could be wrong, though.

Should rares & legendary items be Soulbound in Diablo 3, meaning once that item is equipped, then it can no longer be traded, sold at auction, or used by another character.

This is Diablo, not World of WarCraft.

So i have installed what is available a few times now and i think im just blind... Anyways i know that you are supposed to be able to hit the "install" button and you get a message..anyways where do i fine the install button? I cannot locate the launcher. I know exactly where i installed the available data, i wated for the 7gig blizzard installer to say download complete, but i do not see a play to launch an installer. Just want someone to tell me the exact name of the file i am supposed to launch to start the actual install. I know that i wont be able to start the actual install until tomorrow but i wanna be ready.

When you first started the Blizzard Downloader you had to specify where on your PC you wanted the data to be downloaded to. The Blizzard Downloader created a folder in the location that you specified, probably titled Diablo-III-8370-enUS-Installer or something similar. Inside that folder should be an application called Diablo III Setup. This is the .exe you will be using to install Diablo III on May 14th.

I'm glad that I bought a digital copy of Diablo III from Blizzard and don't have to worry about these kinds of problems.

I'll be playing a male Demon Hunter.

I enjoyed the beta. I played through twice as a Demon Hunter and really enjoyed the story. Leah is adorable and the male DH voice actor is really good. It's nice that Diablo III gives you the opportunity to bring down the Skeleton King one last time. The beta was also a nice opportunity to see how well Diablo III runs on my computer. All in all the beta just made me that much more hyped for the full game.

I wouldn't have told my boss that I wanted May 15th off to play Diablo III. I would have came up with a more convincing reason, because most people just don't understand what it's like to be a gamer, and how exciting and important a video game release can be.

I wouldn't worry about it too much though. It sounds like you get to play all morning on the 15th, and I assume you'll have the 17th off.

If you wanna get hardcore you could install and patch on the 14th, and then get a good sleep and wake up when the servers come online. Then you could play all night and morning until you have to leave for work at 1:00. You would probably end up being real tired at work though.

I am taking a solid week off of school for the release. I simply wouldn't be productive if I went to school the week after May 15th. I'd be thinking about Diablo III constantly. I wouldn't get anything done. Might as well stay home.

I missed my opportunity to buy the CE, and I couldn't really afford it anyways. I did, however, buy Diablo III: Book of Cain, Diablo III: The Order, and the LE Strategy Guide.

I am going to use both Impale and Fan of Knives in my build.

Hello. I'm GeNMa (aka Lazarus) and I'm a huge Diablo fan. I've been waiting for Diablo III for a long time, and I'm excited to finally be part of a forum dedicated to Diablo. I've been trying to learn more about the game before launch, and that's how I found this place. This website is pretty cool, I'll probably stick around.

Anyone else playing Diablo/Diablo II: LoD to pass the time until May 15th?
