i'm so glad i'm done with games for the most part.  i'd probably call in sick for 4 days straight (1 shy of FMLA).

Is it true that this game doesn't run too well on lower end systems, even at lowest settings?

A podcast I listened to claims his 2.5 gz Core2Duo and Intel card was barely able to run it, even at lowest settings.

Sure, Intel cards suck, but this is Blizzard we're talking about.  Usually their games run on systems a decade old at stripped down settings.

most of the newer integrated cards will run it (not great).  rather have a graphics card at any rate anyways.


got installed, got my battletag, now for the longest 13 and a half hour wait ever...

Playing Diablo II now...

I hate spellcasters, which is what I'm playing.  ^_^;

High def melee sorts, even if you don't know what you're doing you can usually solo fine, but glass canon types usually just die and die and die if you're no an expert in point distribution and kiting mobs..

I'd be a lot further if the servers didn't keep crashing. My monk is level 11.

Picking it up today most likely, heard there were some server and error issues.

Yeah, the server issues and login problems are pretty much true. I was unable to login last night (no biggie) but the lag....in a single player game. Pretty bad.
My BattleTag is POE #1907.
I'm surprised by how "WOW like" Diablo III is....and I've been playing WoW free edition and it's pretty decent. Not sure I will commit to a subscription though.
EDIT: I see that fromthedirtydirty added me -- and he's way far ahead of me.
I try to play the game but my computer sounds like a jet engine after awhile.

Good game with fromthedirty and his friend. Sorry I kept dying -- I really need to work on my Demon Hunter or use a more 'tank-like' class (I may try with Barbarian or Monk next).

Is the portal system unchanged from the last game?

I preferred playing with friends, because you could each open a portal and use  theirs at will without worrying about them closing up.  Saved a lot of inventory space that way, and you could exploit them in boss fights.

Wow, your played time must be ridiculous.

My monk is up to 36 and is nearing the end of Act I in Nightmare. I completely forgot how much Act I there still was after the Skeleton King (who only dropped blues for me in Nightmare, wth?).

I'm rocking some pretty nice stats overall now, my gear has come a long way. Took out Diablo at the 35 hour mark but I know there's a couple hours of AFK time mixed in. Did it on coop with a buddy who was at 30 hours and is generally a fast leveler. First time through I explored every single area of the map before moving on. In nightmare I am just happy to find the right path quickly.

I will try to remember to find my battle tag when I play tonight and post it here. I generally play from around 9p-12a EDT.

played time isn't too bad (and i have a few hours afk time as well, took a few smoke breaks leaving game up and running), i end up getting good gear on other guys as i am leveling, and plenty of gold doing all 3 like this, so i kill stuff really fast.  also, most of my play time is co-op.  auction house has been pretty good to me as well, right now stash is fully upgraded, jewelcrafter and bs are maxed for nm (need hell mats to level now).  also, got my first legendary today, a warrior belt.


right now, witch doctor at 18:27 level 36, demon hunter 22:42 level 42 and wizard 19:56 level 42.

I have a barb around 24 and a DH around 19, still playing the first time through. I keep forgetting my battletag, I will post it up tonight.  Definitely will be playing.
