As a barbarian, I couldn't disagree more. Inferno ruined the game for me.

EDIT: But I'm on my way there on my hardcore character! Now THAT's what's up! Currently at the end of the first act in Hell.

That's only going to be a small portion of the AH, for high high end items. Normal casual players wont have an issue with using the AH like say in WOW etc...

Yeah if you play Monk properly, you can literally cut through anything without even being hit. I'll be going Barbarian first, leap and whirlwind is too good not to have in my arsenal first time around :D

well the servers are regional. it would make sense to play in EU server if you are from Europe.
you can however play in every region with any version of the game, except your characters and everything is region locked.

as for battletag i think it involves numbers provided by blizzard itself. in my case its:
Fartloud#2636
go to your battle.net account for more details.

so since we got only like two weeks till release i figured we can revive this thread.

what is the first character you gonna make?
what server you gonna play in?
whats your battletag?

about these and more we can discuss here :]

personally ill be starting monk first. something about that insane mobility compared to most classes...
i figured ill finish normal difficulty solo and only then start coop.

that is true, they even admited that first two games didnt really have memorable characters apart from maybe deckard cain. they will try to make d3 much more alive than that.

despite that there were lots of info everythere (thanks to written novels and such) about whats actually happening in the world.
for me its quite important, i mean even tho im hackin slashin, that tiny elements of story just makes it more interesting. also i played diablo 1 when i was very young and that scary atmosphere really made me think whats actually going on. ofcourse thats matter of perspective, most people play hack and slash just for the action.

hmm.. im playing path of exile for example. the combat is ok, everything looks great as well, but since its beta - there isnt much if any information about what is that actually about... and i must say it makes it boring and bland.

as for game hype id say im waiting for la noire, assassins creed revelations, skyrim then gw2 and diablo 3. about others i couldnt care less.

Trust me, I am so much MUCH more interested in D3 and GW2 than TOR. But I'm the exception here.

Unfortunately I know nothing at all about diablo lore, despite having played both games. All I got from that experience was hack'n'slashing thousands of uglies with the random funky boss. Yeah..

so a lot of lore stuff was discussed in blizzcon and... i must say its pretty interesting.

especially the part where they show the trailer with this Azmodan lesser evil guy and everyone believes he is the last boss. they also throw 'you will defeat all evil and thats it' type of comment without any explanation. i mean why the heck would anyone believe all that especially after throwing that blizzcon image showing a *FEMALE* diablo.

so yeah i predict the girl in the trailer (whos a daughter of Adria, witch from d1, and Dark wanderer) to become the new Diablo. heck there is still diablo on the cover of the game and the game is still called diablo.
sadly in 99% of comments of the trailer they actually believe Azmodan is the last boss.
wtf?

so yeah this is my 'diablo blog' post, since noboady seems to be interested in diablo 3 lol.

so the beta has begun.
i dont have the key, but ive seen loads of futage since blizzard has been kind and didnt put any kind of NDA.
on top of that their website has been updated so you can now check every available skill and their rune versions.
i must say im quite impressed. skill selection itself (without requirement to put all the useless skill synergy crap permanently etc) looks very promising for people like me - lovers of those nonstandart weird builds.
so anyone has been following all the news?

I must agree with my comrade on this one, settle it in a 1on1! Let the sparks flow!

On a more D3 related note though, I look forward to trying the MP with a friend or two, that would be about it though

Just settle it in a 1on1 to the death. Then there will be no more need to argue if the name of a character is good or bad. (not to mention that it's purely subjective anyways - joca is not really giving arguments here, but expressing a preference)

and d3 fail was mainly about substituing the necro by a witch doctor, which not only is ugly but it also has a crappier name :P


if that is a fail, why barbarian being the only 'surviving' class is not a fail? no sorceress? oh shiet!

witch doctor is not a crappy name. it fits the character and its abilities pretty well. if you dont like the character itself - then thats another thing, but not the name problem which you for some reason point out.

personally i like what they did with the classes we know so far. they take some things of the old classes and put into different classes in a more interesting way. like lets say barbarian now has paladins charge. hows that a bad thing? it fits the current barbarian much more.

why witch doctor is so hated?
lets see... barbarian is wreacking things back and forth resulting in a fast action gameplay, something that you would expect when playing barbarian.
wizard - has loads of literal tricks up her sleeve, which can be manipulated in all kinds of ways.
WD has abilities that can be used in lots of ways and every part of that character is something that you would expect from WD. whats the problem tho? its not fast character. its far way from the center of combat. this can be compared to many other games - there will be 10 times more damage dealing characters than support/healers. so the problem lies not in the class itself, but in concept.

what saved necromancer from the same fate? people love dead things. skeletons = badass.
replace skeletons with butterflies, give him a pink outfit, change his grumpy face into wide smile etc, while leaving the funcionality as it is. the resulted character would be 10 times less popular than necromancer.
