official Diablo III

[S00N3R FR3AK]

I didn't get a chance to log into the open stress test so I am not sure of what class to play. Demon Hunter and Wizard both stand out to me though as I just don't like the look of the other 3.

Barbarian. There's nothing quite like the feeling of being an unstoppable dreadnought.

So...in an effort to steer this thread off of the offline vs. online circular conversation...for those of you who are going to get the game, what is the first character you will be playing with?

For me, after being in the beta for a few months, my opinions on the classes haven't changed much. I am wholeheartedly going to start with a Barbarian. I loves me some Leap, Ancient Spear, and exploding Cleave.

Probably going to start off with a Demon Hunter. I didn't put too much thought into my decision, but I was watching videos of each class, and the Demon Hunter looks pretty fun.

Pre-launch download is all done. My excitement for this game just came out of nowhere, but now I'm pumped for this coming Tuesday :).

Gotta say, I'm loving some of the d2 streams on twitch leading up to d3. I've never got a character past level ~45, and they can do it within a couple of hours.

It should mean only an extra 50MB is needed though.

Can't wait for this, but hope the servers are a little better than the open stress test they held the other week, the only people stressed were those trying to play the game but couldn't as they couldn't connect due to the sheer amount of people trying to play :(

Over the whole weekend I could only connect twice, and that's with trying 3 days solid :(

FYI My Battle Tag is BeLGaRaTh#2224

something people keep forgetting about the stress test is that over the course of the weekend they regulated how many people could connect to "cause" server stress. read the official forums.

Also folks that were actually in the beta or at least me. never had an issue connecting during the stress test.

Thanks for that littleneutrino, sadly the beta forum access was heavily limited during the test, and all we got was an official post saying that the error codes meant too many people were trying to connect :(

[_neutrino Veteran]

Ah, i was not sure how much access not Beta folks actually got.

They have mentioned during the test that for the Open weekend they were only allowing a certain amount of folks on to cause stress to the servers and then once the stress hit a certain limit they would add more servers, It was a tech test for them so that they would know how many servers to have ready for launch (as they are virtual servers they can easily just throw a new server up in a few hours time)

[aessap]

It's time... where is my install!!! :)

[Shaun N.]

Tried to install. Still get the same error :(

[Tuishimi]

I am ready to buy... I hope it lives up to its billing. I've already preordered Torchlight 2 as well... :)

[08993]

Did anyone honestly expect it to install on cue? Their patch server will be getting hammered we'll be lucky to get the game installed at all today.

EDIT/ Made it to the install settings, changed install location and then kicked out, patch server is dead :)

EDIT 2/ Installing!

[Razorwing]

I'm getting an error, unable to initialize streaming. lol.

[spacer]

Installing now, woot. I may need to call out "sick" tomorrow...

[firey]

Installing now :D

[Razorwing]

Yup same here, installing now. Waiting for midnight to get my physical copy! lol. Gonna be a LOOOONG day.

[spacer]

I can tell I'm extremely excited for the game when the installer makes me giddy. I really love how they did a recap of the previous games in a slick, artistic way.

Is it tomorrow yet? :woot:
