Diablo 3

[Daragon]

Don't agree with this idea of a RMAH. People with disposable income will simply squander it away on the best gear, so that otherwise only those willing to play on inferno mode will be able to compete with. The thought of perma-death for my character doesn't exactly appeal - not willing to flitter away hours building up a really good character only for it to die due to some random something or other and lose everything.

Yes I'm aware of the asian RMTs who'd be all to happy to provide services like this if they didn't exist, but Blizzard should be looking for prevention, rather than scaring off the competition.

It's a 15% cut off of things like recipes, potions, gems, and other consumables. If you're selling gear it's $1 straight up, which isn't bad if you sell something for $20+. I'm hoping to save up enough for the SC2 expansion due later in the year, then deposit the rest into my Paypal for use purchasing real stuff off of Ebay.

I wouldn't worry about people buying all the best gear, if it's anything like WoW - unless they've played and played and played they ain't getting through Inferno, and they will be wasting their own time and money, as repairing good gear after countless wipes will cost several thousands of gold during the late-game. There will only be so many attempts you can do in one week for you to farm enough gold back to cover the repairs, you can of course buy the gold to repair up and that's when people will (hopefully) begin to take stuff more seriously.

-----

Hardcore mode is the only mode where you run the risk of perma-death, and the difficulties run parallel with regular mode, from Normal through to Inferno, they've already said that completing Hardcore Inferno would be the mother of all achievements. I don't believe there is the RMAH for Hardcore mode, they've said if people ask for it it'll come eventually. I don't think it'd be healthy for people to spend 3,000hrs and $1,000 on a character and then watching them die, for good. People would go nuts, rage, blame others and then resort to real-life violence.

Is there going to be a demo of this any time soon?

Considering the Beta was such a stuttering mess i would really like to try this out before plopping down my money for it.

[dataDave]

Maybe in around 6months to a year they will provide a starter edition.

Just get it ordered. The beta was also a stuttering mess on my almighty workstation, they've already stated the later betas were not optimised at all.

[eastyy]

for the people who have predownloaded it have to do it again according to battle net (unless its been in the past couple of days)


i never even got the beta working froze during installation i really enjoyed diablo 2 i just really hope its not dumbed down as i really liked to tailor my character in diablo 2 to my own play style

I notice the CE version of this selling for silly money on eBay already:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/csc/i.html?rt=...=p3286.c0.m283

Mine was dispatched yesterday from Tesco, looks like the impulse buy for ?54.97 when the item was first listed on the site was a good call!

[Daragon]

Indeed, I managed only a slightly worse price than you from Tesco for ?59.98 thanks to a 15% off voucher. Had mine dispatch saturday so hopefully shall be sat waiting for me on return from work this afternoon!

Wonder if I should keep, sell now for double price or wait and hope that it becomes as valuable as WoW's first CE. I am a sucker for art books though!

[Olly C]

My copy has just turned up so lets hope yours will have too!

Edit:



Oh also I've got loads of special and collectores editions of great games that I haven't opened, not to keep and sell on really although that option is there but because I don't think I'll play them enough at this time (this includes all three Mass Effect Collectors editions amongst many many others) but this game, this game will be opened and played!!

Should run lovely on my currently well under-used for gaming Alienware Aurora PC!!

I got my CE on Saturday morning from Amazon, its just torture waiting to play it. I too have wonderd if its worth selling on as they are going for silly money on ebay but i have decided to keep it. I pre-ordered because i wanted it and by the time i have sold it i would still have to buy the game again so i would probably only make about ?30 max.

I really dont think this will increase in huge value in the future, if you want to sell and make a profit i would do it now, you only need to look at the Starcraft 2 collectors edition, its hardly changed since launch and i think quite a lot of these have been produced.

[rmoxon]

Where is the cheapest place to get this digitally then?

[SuperBeatBoy]

I would have recommended you an eu code seller that i used for Risen 2, but its just as expensive on there. :/

Still waiting for mine to despatch from Amazon, they did a right cock up this morning by not using my gift balance.

[dataDave]

This really looks like a collector's edition worth having.

2hrs left until we can install the game. I hope we can play with all the options and all that jazz.

Can anyone sort me out with a free pass they have spare? Doesn't look like Amazon will be shipping mine today.
