the servers are down because people were unable to make games/join games.

You expect games to have issues on release but D3 has been a monumental disaster so far, they've had months to prepare for the release and years spent on the game. There should have been a single player and the only reason there is because if there was a single player Blizzard wouldnt make as much money from the RMAH because alot of people would be playing single player as opposed to playing online, once again greed triumphs over common sense.

Didn't Diablo 1 require battle.net too? Or was there a way to play lan without logging in to that?

Yeah luckily, noticed the notification at 30 seconds and then it was a race to clear mobs and TP out :D

On the server issues; i'm not too bothered. No matter the project, things happen and then they get fixed. It's not like one sunday will ruin my whole life ;)

Aye not too bothered, not like I can play now, just seems they didn't make offline mode for the wrong reasons.

The game must be good if so many people are crying about not being able to play! (that was a joke, please don't kill me)

Diablo 1 is playable over IPX on your local LAN - not even TCP/IP. And it's a better game too. :eek:


Torchlight 2 for the win, tbfh.

The way Diablo 3 is going with the amount of errors and imbalances I'm inclined to agree for the moment Scouse, but we'll see how things go.

Really hope they hotfix the force armor + cristal shell bullshit that wizards got going on.

People deliberatly aiming for 0 vitality builds with max int, resis and life generation to dupe the system.

Wizards become immune to damage while doing 50k dps without crits is just too dumb even for blizzard.

This shit will happen online until governments make game companies include a "request refund" button on their sales pages.

This is why Open Betas should be brought back.. not just "lol weekend beta lvl cap 15 lol hf guys"...

3-4 month long open beta with no level caps would have sorted this shit out, it happens in a load of other games too..

Hell even if they made it so you can only get in if you pay £5-10...l better than no open beta..

The game is fantastic if/when it works.

Looking forward to torchlight 2 though.

Major fuckup having to log in to play single player.

Wow, I am incredibly stupid. I did not read about this build before now. I have been doing it the hard way thus far, kiting champ/rare for 15 mins before killing stuff.

It will get fixed so need to farm as much as possible before they do :p

I might have used that option for Diablo 3 to be frank. I'm really discontent with the game at this point as an old Diablo 1 and 2 player.

I really honestly feel like the game is in beta stage and I could almost go as far as to say alpha since the zones are basically empty of life, feels like some mmo beta where they havn't implemented any surrounding life and monsters yet but merly the bare bones.

Zones are too small, its all too instanced and while I understand why they cannot put so much stuff into already shoebox sized zones due to the fact you need to be able to move and kite the tough rare monsters and bosses but this all takes away from the diablo feel imo.

I'm a pvp player though so pve content can be as shit as it want, for me it is just a timesink to get to pvp and compete there, but if I were a pve lover I would hate what they done to the game from that pov. Also this gets me worried about pvp patch knowing they "took their time with pve" and this is the result, and also knowing pvp is pritty much not top of the drawer in their priority list.

I believe the server has been down for 5 hours now? On a Sunday?

That's epic levels of idiocy on a par with an EA.



Edit: And I hear ya m8 - the fact that it's gone a little backwards in terms of a player's freedom (I can't walk into a level higher than I'm supposed to 'cause all the gates are locked? WTF?)- makes it feel much more linear... :(

Felt the same about it, I'm enjoying Diablo 3 for now but its just not Diablo in my eyes, nothing about it really stands out and says Diablo to me.. its just a Hack & Slash version of WoW.

Yup it is rediculous.

Wouldn't surprise me if they didnt change it though, after all they said they wouldn't be making balance changes to classes and nerfing left right and center.

This cuppled with all the gold and item drop exploits people are using, sigh.
