I'm confused on how you download the client before hand, is that only for people that ordered the digital copy or what? Btw I'm on the east coast right now.

you need to register your diablo copy with battle,net and can download from there at will. Works with any blizzard game, its like a mini-steam.

The links to blizzard's torrent client (their downloader) were spread around.

I think I might wait a while after the server launches for the NA region since the first hour of trying to log in is probably going to be a epic frustration.

Thank god the season finale of HIMYM is on and finding out Ted's wife probably compensates a little for not being one of the firsts on the servers.

While I hate this idea, it does make sense in some ways.. like hacks for one.

Steam has managed to make it work fine enough.. I game on a laptop, and I can bring it with me to my summerhouse where I have no internet connection and play pretty much anything in my library that is single player. Forcing internet connection is taking services away from customers, it's really bad.

On a lighter note, got into the game.. rolled mage and kind of wish I picked witch doctor instead. Oh well.. and I guess I've been playing too much Dota2 when I find myself really wanting a-move styled control :D Also: Mage = young Invoker, he even has the same attitude.. heh

you should be able to continue the download just by restarting the d3 blizzard downloader thingy, your progress shouldnt have been lost.

You'd think that, but I restarted my PC to see if it might resolve something, and upon reopening the downloader, the total size went down further to 1.35GB. I have to no idea as to what's going on, but... PHUCK! Damn it, Blizzard. -.-

Global play isn't active until the launch of the US server. You need a battle.net account registered to Asia to access the server right now.

When one of you beats the game, can you tell me how it is? Because I don't really trust Blzizard these days and the AH thing has me kinda antsy. I haven't really liked anything Blizzard has put out since about '07 -- so since I haven't liked SC2 (though I LOVEDDD SC and WC3), I'm super nervous Diablo 3 won't turn out well.

All I want to know is if it does better than Diablo 2. How is the atmosphere, the plot, the difficulty, the AMOUNT of content is super important. Thanks a lot. I'll be skimming this thread.

Quick question: Wizard stats care about DPS or actual damage of weapon?

Anyone know what the farthest anyone's gotten is so far? Diablo was killed for the first time quite a few hours ago, so I wonder if anyone's killed nightmare Diablo yet
