Yay Down for maintenance AGAIN.

Why do they choose to do this during prime time?

Because the issues are more noticeable during prime time?

hmm annoyingly, if I'm reading the game right they are using the wrong value for the DPS in he comparative tooltips.

If you notice on the below screenshots, the 2 handed staff says it has 12.5 more damage. (and yes, I removed the books to see if that's what causes the error, without it it's 15.1 more)

However if you look at the damage value in the attributes block, my one handed staff and book, gives me 70.49 dps, while the staff gives 69.11 dps. so the two handed staff in fact slightly lowers my dps. so the tooltip comparison does not count increased damage from attributes I guess, which kind of makes the comparative tooltip absolutely useless.

You have an internet connection if you are posting on neowin... what's the difference?

It doesn't really matter because the servers are down for maintenance and no one can play anyway.

[Slammers]

They are down for an hour. Get over it

[firey]

I concurr, I mean WoW goes down every tuesday, every week for sometimes an entire day if it's a patch day.

I will admit that the current server issues are a bit frustrating however, once they are ironed out and the game is running smoothly i think most folks will forget the game is always online.

[HawkMan]

At least I'm in europe so I don't have to suffer the constant server outtages. unlessI wanna play my barb which the buggy game placed on the US servers after I logged into the euro server.

Still, if they had offered online SP and the thousand of players who just wanted to play SP could have used that, they wouldn't have had these problems in the first place since the servers wouldn't have been hammered.

@Hawkman - You wand has a higher +dmg modifier. And that just shows ya how good +dmg is. I recommend it on your rings, amulet and weapon as well as stacking rubies (i believe) in your weapons. At lower levels at least +dmg awesome. No idea how it'll turn out in hell/inferno.

Good play through yesterday Firey. Double Monk apparently is a good strat. Server went down at a good time, because a friend arrived just then.

I wish dying has more consequences to it.... I'm not sure I like all the streamlining and actually miss some of the things from Diablo 2 that I didn't think I'd miss at all... Things like

* Not having points to spend in character attributes (int, con, str, wis, dex)

* Not having much selection (at least at the early levels) for skills

* Are there no socketed items? I guess I miss the rune-words and collecting those in the hope that you will eventually have something really good.

* Running to my corpse after dying to get all my items before a monster wrecks my naked body

Idk why but...i miss those things.

Sockets are still in the game as well as Gems

Rune words were replaced with skill runes

dont care too much for losing out on attribute points as i am not fond of games that require you to spend them yourself.

I also miss running to your body to collect your stuff, i was surprised that they removed it from the game.

I'm still looking for a guest pass if anyone has a spare one.

[scaramonga]

Anyone kind enough to shove a guest pass my way would be much appreciated :) My retail key never arrived from CJS and had to get a refund :(

Good play through yesterday Firey. Double Monk apparently is a good strat. Server went down at a good time, because a friend arrived just then.

Yea it worked out well, cuz I had food in the oven that was just finishing up as the servers went down. Also yea the double monks was sick, we could heal each other and do crazy dps and damage mitigation.

Have to play again for sure.
