My friend got the regular retail version, came with 1 guest pass and 1 guest wow pass. Another friend of mine got the CE, and it came with 3 diablo 3 guest passes, and no wow passes. I'll see if i can get a pass or 2 from one of them for some of yall.

I'd love a guest pass to try it before I decide if I want to buy it or not.

And I believe Loc... or maybe he got one already it seems...

If this list has changed, let me know. But can't confirm that I will get any from them. But they don't have any other friends I know of that would need them.

ATT is to blame for the Diablo3 problems... they picked the worst backbone provider/hosting provider they could to partner with for this... They should have gone with level3 they are solid and awesome. They prolly fell for a smooth salesmen's promise of having lower cost per util. and thought it would be cheaper then L3 so they went with it... only it will end up costing them 4x as much as L3 and have lower capacity. ATT notes for hosting companies they can change the TOS at any time and you are agreed to using them for 2 year minimum contract duration. In order to get lower rates you must agree to changes that could screw you over in the end big time. This is another reason any reputable datacenters do not use them. They are a joke. Good IP backbones: level 3 twtelcom abovenet verizon xo cogent HE zayo soooo many others they could have chosen that would give them outstanding service and better value and they choose the worst possible one.... yucckkkk.... bliz really doesn't know what they're doing... I'm partnered with InetU hosting (very high end enterprise grade provider with NO NETWORK DOWNTIME)(they host pokemon.com, lands of america, CREDO action group, and Luby's websites as well as tons of others) They use level3, Abovenet, and Verizon and they do really really good with those 3. If they would have went with InetU hosting then they would have not had any of these problems at all... There are so many better hosting providers out there they could have chosen and they chose ATT of all places!!!! arrrg! well blizzard enjoy it while it lasts!!

LOL Cogent good? AT&T arent too bad tbh but Cogent is cheapest of the cheap and its reflected in their poor service

Yeah I got one from a friend yesterday :) Thanks for the thought though!

Also mind if I add you to my friends list now, even though I don't have the full game yet?

Definitely. Always looking for more to play the game with. Let me know what char you plan on making for when you get the game, and I'll keep an eye on loot that you could use.

Sweet. I'm totally going with my Witch Doctor and Demon Hunter toons once I get the full game in early June :D

Am I the only one who thinks this game has horrible pathing. You'd think blizzard didn't have any experience making rpg and rts games where pathing is important. If you're behind a chair or something, and click anywhere on the other side of it, or even in the side of the chair, the game can't figure out how to walk around it.

I think it's worse than the original even, and that was pretty bad.

I agree. I was like 2 feet away from some stairs, with another set of stairs on the opposite side of the room which connect both down to a lower area. I click on the lower area, and instead of running the shortest path, down the stairs 2 feet away. My character does the longest path, taking the stairs on the other side. The path finding in this game is very horrible for what we should expect from Blizzard.

Yay! My friend who gave me the guest pass is buying me the game! (He's saved my ass countless times, truly a great friend. Hopefully one day I can help him out or something)

Only thing is, I gotta wait until the 22nd to get it from Amazon, since he couldn't find a way to gift a copy.

He wasn't going to buy it until his next pay day, but I've gone all addicted already and he was trying to calm me down I guess :p

didn't yas realise theres digital copys?

Yes but you can't gift copies of the game (at least not at this time, and if you can, neither one of us could find a way to do it currently). While he could have logged into my Battle.net account and bought the game that way (he was going to do that actually, Amazon already processed the order though and couldn't be canceled anymore) he has reservations about doing things like that also.

Either way, I'll have the game in 3-7 days. Probably on Saturday :) I'm just decking out my guys right now. Started up a Barbarian and by the time I beat the you know what at the end of the SE gameplay, I had 4 rare drops already, and my friend has like 2 or 3 others for my Demon Hunter. So I'll be having some fun I think.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I believe I've asked for a guest pass before them (back on page 68):

Yeah, I'll PM you a code in just a minute.

Any chance you got one more?

Does anyone have a guest pass OTHER than those that have already sent their out?

I'm in the middle of getting my upgraded build together, and the issue is lack of TIME (not money), as a copy of D3 is one of the items I'll be snagging to run on the upgraded hardware.

Respond via PM, please (of course)

So ya trying to finish the game off, before vacation ends tomorrow at noon. Currently on first boss of Act III, when the servers were brought down twice (or maybe once?). Just jumping in random public games and making progress. I'm playing my Barb and completely destroying. I've only had 2 real good public games, one was myself and DH, and followed by that a game of myself, and 2 wizards.

So if anyone is on Act III add me so we finish this game!

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By thartist · Posted

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
