Gave up on this last night after 2 fruitless hours of my activated account getting an error message of 'not activated'....and then not being able to get anywhere near a server, let alone logging in.
Played Company of Heroes instead.
may try this again tonight....maybe....if they fix it.

Diablo 3 also has a 3.5/10 on Metacritic right now.
Doesnt surprise me, this is a ridiculously badly thought out launch

Metacritic user reviews are notoriously biased and unreliable. I have no doubt that D3 is a good game, it certainly doesn't deserve review scores of 0. It is simply hamstrung by poorly designed 'safeguards' and an incompetent launch,

The prefect example of someone missing the point.
Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.

Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

Should have specified, i meant exactly this when i agreed with the review scores...
inmygravenimage wrote:Have courage, faith and beer, my friend - it will be done!
I never agree with review scores, because the entire score system is inherently flawed to begin with.
Also, didn't have many problems over on the EU, logged in the first time without a hitch. Second time got stuck on retrieving hero list, restarted game and on we played.
damn you Soladrin...what time were you logging on?
any scoring system is inherently flawed in some way (just go look at the gallery and some of the votes for another example) if it relies on a subjective view (what constitutes a ten for example?)

I had no problems at all logging in(except during the afternoon maintenances, of course) yesterday. I logged in at 11AM(kicked due to maintenance), 1PM(kicked due to maintenance), and 4:30PM(played straight until 11 PM), all times Mountain time.

My CE arrived this morning, installed it via the disk, and loaded it up for about 30mins. Had a go with the Daemonhunter and loved it.
My first blue dropped after about 15mins and just like Diablo 2, I was .. Yay!! and chuffed before carrying on to finish the first mission. Love getting the loots, probably why I fell so easily into the WoW format.
Also got my pet for WoW, and he's quite funny, my insane Orc female rogue will be having that as her main pet from now on.
Good CE overall, the art book was actual proper A4 size as well which was nice, and the Diablo head USB stick station and the stick with Diablo 2 on it will take pride of place alongside the other gaming tat in front of my moniter.
As I left for Work Aura was using my game to install it on her PC to avoid the hassle of downloading, as she has the game free due to the annual pass, as did I, I just gained three months WoW time as a bonus for getting the CE, so yay again. So hopefully we should be able to pair up tonight.

Morathi, i envy your ability to instant-coop with Aura, nice work!
(my mate waited for about 2 hours in the coop section for me to log in yesterday..bless him still, we already have team-time scheduled for later, hope this time it works :crossedfingers: )

Aye good luck, hopefully the issues will be resoved asap.
On a side note, its odd playing Diablo again as its literally been about five years since I last played D2. The whole needing to click for each attack threw me for a sec, getting back into it now.
Like the profile set up and stat tracking on the selection page as well, can see me trying out all the classes in time.

I bought it last night after reading this thread. Unsurprisingly, I went the same route as MDK and played a Demon Hunter (we share a good bit of taste, it seems). I enjoyed it. I can tell that a lot of scrutiny was lavished on at least the first hour of gameplay (can't speak to what I haven't seen).
As for the online thing ... holy gak, I felt like I was at airport security in my own home. I expected a prompt telling me to provide a DNA sample.
My excitement for this game is quite wierd, I started with not giving an absoloute toss about diablo 3 at all, then all of a sudden a week before it came out, my hype transformed into godzilla so yeah, pretty excited to get this soon, probably due to loving this style of gameplay (what would you call it?) as I adored Baldur's Gate as a littl'un.
Anyway, can someone help with this question? How does the real money AH fees work i.e. for sending to paypal, does the extra 15% get taken only if the item sells or would it be taken even if it didn't sell?
Hehe, no means of trying to start a full on career with it, just a little £5-£10 a week would be much appreciated for warhammer supplies so just wanna ask if you guys know the answer to this question before I waste money on an authenticator before using the AH.
EDIT: Oh nevermind, re-read the FAQ, seems to only take away 15% for the paypal transfer if the item sells.

Find friends and stop playing public games.
Seriously, I've never once waited for a game, I always have someone on the friends list online and when not, I solo.

I'm working nightshifts all week but I'm playing between 6pm and 10pm (more or less, I may sleep in a bit more :p). Don't recall the number next to my battletag but I'll post it when I get back home in the morning.
Currently a lvl 20 DH, going through act 2 but I wouldn't mind to get a couple other chars going. Solo play is nice and all but MP is where it's at!
I'm also debating going Hardcore, but the latency is a bit worrying atm.
@Lunahound : Not sure about Canada but here in Belgium I paid 45€ for the box while the Blizzard store was asking for 60€.

Oh hells balls I would. The magic behind making a toad deadly to a hellspawned demon is a style reminiscent of Riddick killing a prison tough with his tea cup. I guess not everybody is hip to the WD's methods. Personally, I love the way he works.
