Diablo 3

I'll probably be partaking, provided I can find a nice deal on the collector's edition and it will run half decently on my laptop. Probably be going Witchdoctor myself, or Wizard.

What're the specs on the one were you going for, Dave?

You'd bloody better after no-showing on WoW!!

Don't bother with the CE, CEs are for queens.

I'm going with an Asus G74SX-XT1. CPU upgraded to an i7-2720QM, RAM upgraded to 16gb 1600mhz, and the GTX560M 3gb to top it off. Only going with one SATA HDD until I feel like dropping a large SSD in there later myself.

Overkill, really. Decided against the 3D variant as it will probably fry my eyes because I know I'll never be able to take off the specs.

[Daragon]

Overkill yeah, just a smidge XD

I'm hoping my rather modest laptop will be able to compete, big Diablo fan myself.

And I only didn't get into WoW because at the time, I wasn't confident that my decade old PC would happily play it. Only stuck with FFXI because I could 360 it.

Have a beast of a PC to run this, beta runs solid on it. Also just finished a 2nd computer for this and a few MMO's so I'm all set. May still seems far off though heh. Going to run a Barbarian or Mage, not sure which. Not too fussed at the lack of arena pvp or whatever it is they held back on, that kind of things scares me anyway.

The website is being updated with new videos of each class, they've done Demon Hunter and Barbarian already, good stuff. Also a Banner creator, which unlocks unique sigils for the game upon release. Don't miss em~

Laptop arriving any day now. I hope this system doesn't have any problems, there's always bloody something wrong when I build a PC and something crucial always needs sending back (not my fault), at least I'm not building this.

Regret not getting the 3D version now as this game looks like it will really benefit from it, seen some immense visuals and locations. Ah well, I'll save that for a desktop.

The monk vid just went out today, don't forget to create your banner. You won't be able to unlock these in-game.

Woohoo! Open beta weekend!

Awesome, hopefully can get BT to upgrade our broadband package to unlimited this evening.

I downloaded the beta client, around 4gb worth.

Even just booting up the title screen and playing with the options is immense.

My battletag is 'Headshaker#1717', so send me an invite once you're up and running. I'll be playing from 9:30am tomorrow (2:30am your time, if you're pulling an all-nighter).

[SuperBeatBoy]

Mine is SuperBeatBoy#1934

[originalbadboy]

Mine is OriginalBBoy#2592 - should be on overthe weekend at some point

I will be getting this game however I wont be paying Blizzards utterly stupid DD prices. Lets see ?45 to download or ?27 (from Amazon) get the box, put the code in to download and download it for nearly half the price.

Hmm ... I think I know which one I will be doing

[dataDave]

I lose all comprehension of currency when Blizzard titles are being spoken about.

But yeah, digital downloads take the piss universally.

[Shoju]

I got the beta but can't login into my battlenet account on the menu. I keep getting error 3003 unable to connect

[Daragon]

Daragon#2360 is my code.

Just completed the client download

*is moist with excitement and stuff*


Edit: Ah, son of a bitch - getting same error as Shoju as well as one claiming I don't have a Diablo 3 game license. Disappoint.

Ah, 30 minutes off. Probably why. Hurry up stupid whatever part of the US, I wants to play dammit!
