Quote fromThey did say the PTR would be up first.. makes sense. So maybe they'll have information on the PTR?
That's what I'm thinking it might be. Either that, or they finally had a breakthrough with the increased stash and just have to share the news with all of us (and then proceed to say that the patch will be released "soon").
Blizzard time > Valve time, y/y?

I have an account on USEast, but I honestly don't like the realm all that much. I get a lot of lag spikes/random disconnects, and I can't find anyone to trade with, so I've got a lousy amount of wealth.
I just started on USWest yesterday to test the waters, and I'm staying. No lag spikes (a bit higher ping, but I can't really tell the difference), decent games, and I've had better luck on USWest in the past two days than I've ever had in my entire time of playing on USEast.
I have never, ever, ever found a Gull Dagger before, and I suddenly got one while doing the Countess quest, and then I got some Chance Guards from a random Act II chest. I know they're not the greatest items, but I was making a magic-finder, and this was pretty cool to me to find them so early.
It's like an omen... /rambling

Exactly.
I don't know about you, but it's pretty annoying to go into an arena or something, and every person of a certain class is wearing the exact same thing. There's no personalization or anything to it, unless you want to sacrifice power for the sake of looking different.
I guess Diablo 2 played with this a little bit, but who really wants to stick a useless gem or three into a piece of armor just to look slightly different?
Back to mounts: I think it would work if it were done right. Obviously, if Diablo 3 stayed nearly the same as D2 is now (camera angle, the use of Acts, etc), then mounts don't make much sense. But if the game went the route of an MMORPG, mounts (at least horses or something) would make more sense due to game progression (someone else made a much better argument about that).
That's not to say that portals and waypoints can't exist in some form. At the risk of getting too cliche, there's always something similar to a Gate spell - a character ability or purchased item that allows you to travel to a place you've previously visited.
And while I was playing tonight, I started thinking that there has to be a better way to set up public games. It would be nice if there were a search function to find games to play in, rather than sifting through a ton of bogus games filled with morons. It'd be nice if you could select certain options to help filter the games instead of just going by what difficulty level you've finished.
For example, say you're in Act II, Hell, and are looking for a group to take down Duriel. Instead of sitting in the chat channel, listening to people complain and insult each other, and the bots telling you about their AWESOME buy-one-get-one-free-and-our-competitors-buy-from-us rune deals, you could simply use the search function to look for games by act, difficulty, and/or game name. Sure, you can just make yet another game called "Kill Duriel Now," but it's just a thought.
I guess that's just if Diablo 3 were to stay in the same style as Diablo 2, though.

I also agree with mounts. Nearly every MMORPG has them now, in one form or another. Of course, this would only be if Diablo 3 happened to go down a similar path to World of Warcraft, TES: Oblivion, or Guild Wars.
And call me cheesy, but one thing I would love to see in Diablo 3 is the ability to customize your armor. I remember back when I played Neverwinter Nights, your character could gain the ability somehow (a familiar's spell or something, I think) to actually change the physical appearance of your armor. Left arm, right arm, collar, etc., it didn't matter; you could customize it the way you wanted, using the (many) options the game gave you.

I don't think the penguins deserve that kind of torture. Animal cruelty and all. :rolleyes:
Though, on the bright side, maybe she'd fall off a glacier and drown.

Better not let Mr. Leon Kennedy see you coming.
But welcome to the forums. We can be newbies together.

Metallica's not bad, and most of their old stuff is alright. I just don't listen to a whole lot of their songs anymore for some reason.
After doing some research (not a whole lot, though - I'm admittedly one of the laziest people I know), I think have my decision narrowed down to two legions (Legion of the Damned or GXAII), assuming either are accepting.
I probably will hold off applying until I reach a decent post-count, though. At least 50 or so, just to try and prove myself a little more, since, again, I've only been here a few days but I do have every intention of staying active. You guys have no way of knowing that, and it wouldn't be fair to clog up your application thread with a bogus post, eh?

Yeah, really. I can't stand watching television news anymore because, aside of anything local, you just hear news of Britney, Paris, Lindsay, or any other "star" like them.
It sickens me how much we've come to idolize people like that. Sorry, there's too much else going on in the world to have it all trumped by "news" about another drug-abusing harlot.

Regarding legions, though, I don't really have a preference. I'm the type of person that's happy where I'm most needed, just as long as I'm not a burden.
I'll be doing some more research on my own, but does anyone have any suggestions for which I should apply for? I know it all comes down to preference, but like I said, I'm happy going anywhere.
