Once installed it would patch though, which will get you what you need.

At which point you're advocating ... what? At that point the servers will be up, so legitimate players will be able to play.

Plus, I believe the server acts similarly to an MMO: no server, no mobs.

I am not sure what you think I am saying? I have a legitimate D3 license, I bought the game. It's more about the fact of having it downloaded and fully installed for the minute D3 launches instead of hoping your download doesn't suck, due to the hordes of people downloading it at launch.

You are correct though in the server, the server 100% handles mobs, npcs, health, damage, etc. But you are wrong in the thought that getting it downloaded, installed, and patched ahead of schedule was in relation to having a private server.

Ah. Well, we know there's going to be a day one patch as it is, and they'll likely leave that as late as possible - so even if we we're fully patched now, we're unlikely to be on release.

Never played any of the Diablo games before, this will be my first. My partner and I are looking to Co-Op it all! One of the main reasons I'm getting it, besides loving loot games. She ALWAYS plays as a mage, so she'll be going a Wizard.

Going by WoW (which I know might be a bad idea here) it would make sense for me to go a Barbarian and offer some protection/tanking? It seems to make sense to co-op a caster like a Wizard with a melee character like a Barbarian.

Or does it really simply not matter and any duo work well from start to finish?

There really isn't tanking and dps so to speak. It's pretty much a free for all in most cases. I think that a solid team would be a barb and a monk. Be the same as a tank and heals except both can do dps and heal themselves (but the barb can take more damage, and the monk can heal).

If the barb is close to how they were in the first and second... it will be all about a little life steal, a little mana steal, and a lot of WirlWinding about :)

I see a crashing of servers (if WoW is any indication) when this goes live for download and is playable afterward.

Agreed. That's why I laugh every time I read the threads on the official forums about people taking time off from work to play at midnight and the next day.

There is no way in hell the servers are going to stay up at midnight. I'd even go so far as to say the servers are going to be slow/down for most of the 15th.

Same. I'm getting my copy and a friend his copy a few days after it is released. I am going to give them a few days to iron out the bad bugs. Launches this huge never go well.

I've heard rumors of WoW eventually going to a free to play/lower price per month subscription model. Can anyone elaborate on this?

Doubt it, WoW goes through those rumors ever so often.

Really looking forward to this game, will have the game installed and ready to go at midnight and will add my CE key whenever it gets in later that day(annual sub)

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      Supposedly it's fixed on Series consoles: https://support.forza.net/hc/e...e-Issues-in-Forza-Horizon-6 This game is so much better than FH5, and it's all because of the map. It's diverse, big, and so much to see and do. I've bought every single Forza Motorsport and Horizon game, and by far my least played is FH5 at 100 hours, followed by the latest Motorsport. They've finally made a good one with FH6

    • Politically funny images of the World

      Sorry to be that guy but, Given Trump won again even after a failed first term it would appear attacking the other side is how to gain Government in America. Voters when it came down to it didn't give a s**t about those Democratic achievements and voted for Trump over an intelligent, qualified mixed race woman. We need to face up to this uncomfortable reality. There are more Americacan voters who support racism and christian bigotry along with defending and supporting pedophilia, adjudicated rapists, multiple time convicted felons etc than those who don't. Btw, that is how the world sees America now. Not that Trump voters care as they attempt to cocoon themselves in a white supremacy bubble.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.
