Too costly, waiting for other sources

Max I am willing to pay for a PC game is 999/-(GTA spoiled me).

I'm with you tkin..however I'm willing to pay 1500/- max
That's why even if I'm dying to play the game, i didn't order it

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

US servers are up!!

Here is the official page to monitor their server statuses.

Is Flipkart still shipping it? I tried ordering D3 today, the D3 page says "Coming Soon"

Yep, they're gonna ship it. Last week of May. However, I'm gonna be in Kolkata from 27th May to 6th June. Mom will receive the shipment and I'll be playing in June.

In short the launch day was horrible, but the game is awesome!

Horrible is an understatement. And so is awesome.

I can say I am a proud owner of D3 CE now. Will share pics once I get the actual box in hand.

Congrats! Glad someone got CE.

Definitely share the pics. Looking forward to meeting you (and others also) in-game.

All about 20-30 seconds. Was recorded using Fraps, note that it looks slow because fraps kills my framerate - though I am playing it 1080p & recording at half that res.

God, I hope my onboard doesn't run D3 like that.
What's your FPS without fraps? Check it. There is an option in the game menu which allows that.
BTW how can you play it at 1080p? Aren't you playing in your lappy (1366X768 res)?

[coolpcguy]

^ It should be fine, I'm running it at max details. It's very smooth without fraps. Start recording and frame rate tanks. Will post a shot without recording once I'm home in the evening.

The laptop's connected to my Dell U2312HM 23" screen in extended desktop. Laptop screen == twitter, IM. Monitor == Gaming, Movies, Browsing etc

Very well said. Like!

Thanks. Sure, i'll share and looking forward to meet you too.
I have to start the installer tonight. I'm on BSNL 2-8am free plan. So it should take a couple of days for me to get started.

BTW how can you play it at 1080p? Aren't you playing in your lappy (1366X768 res)?

I'm guessing he has a Full HD screen in his laptop/desktop. I have a Full HD screen on my laptop too. Resolution which I get is 1920x1080.

i have one question about D3
is it compulsory to co-op play with some random people on bnet
or can i play single with AI party members against AI demons?

@the lucky dudes who got D3 CE: post unboxing pics and a review please

[coolpcguy]

Co-op is not compulsory. I'm playing alone, as will most for their first playthrough

[007]

@the lucky dudes who got D3 CE: post unboxing pics and a review please

I haven't got it in my hand yet and will be getting in the second week of June only. My friend unboxed it this morning and I just watched it in video chat. It didn't strike me at that time to record as I was more worried about the contents of the box. Few have reported that the soundtrack DVD is missing in theirs and many couldn't find the guest passes for D3 and WoW (the latter does not matter much to me). Good that mine did have all the promised items. I will share the pics soon. I just claimed the D3, D2 and D2LoD licenses so far.

One thing that I could say right now is that the box looks very nice and the contents are of high quality. ( thats what my friend said )

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

@007 Could you please PM me one of the D3 guest pass keys? I need to check how D3 runs on my PC.

[Alok]

all damages done to user scores of such a great game is only due to that "drm". See metacritics.
Its pretty unfair to pay $60 then can't even play single player.

And i know Blizzard won't change drm, they are such...

I'm going to order this anyway.

[tkin]

The problem with D3 is that part of the game runs on Blizzard servers, like content generation etc, so having a high latency connection will kill the gameplay, sometimes I get good pings, but sometimes I get very band ping to USA(even in India), in these times the game will rubberband like crazy and won't be able to play it, not to mention its costs 4 times as much as most games here.

[gameranand]

Metacritic score of this game is quite great for such a hyped game.

[Alok]

^ Coz they can't play it after paying $60.

[coolpcguy]

And no, I'm yet to run into weather change - though I haven't been outdoors much ( just finished the last quest that was in Open Beta - The Skeleton King quest)

Diablo iii Secret Cow level = Whimsyshire

um, tell him it's a great game and you want to play it?

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

There is no weather-generation algorithm in D3. There is no day-night cycle as well. Its all static.

Are the server issues and bugs still present?

[Alok]

Last night was bad. Today morning they down and maintained us and eu servers. Also sent an apology letter to d3 owners......

Hope everything will be right on track soon.

heh, I actually ran into rains. Nothing spectacular though.

BTW: More screenshots added. Diablo III - Imgur

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

Of course you ran into rains. But that's because it will always rain in that particular region. Same goes for areas having either day or night times.

[coolpcguy]

I believe it did stop raining, then again, doesn't matter much

[ydalmia]

Guys what kind of latency are you all getting? I am playing on the EU servers and my latency is hovering around 500-600 which isn't fun. On other online games like LoL my latency mark is around 200, so I don't know what's wrong with their server.

The only time I managed to play properly was early this morning when I was getting around 350ms.

300-600. US servers. I've seen it go down(or rather, go high) to as much as 1.1s yesterday, but today it was on 330 or so. I've stopped looking at latency, apparently, me looking it it makes me think it's even worse.


ANyone's given the AH a shot? Just listed 2 items for sale on them, let's see how it goes.

Yeah, my brother is playing from the UK on a 100mbps connection on the EU servers and he was getting the same lag as me!

About the AH, you will sell the items if the stats on them aren't trash. Don't try and AH every yellow you find, its a waste of time. Just AH the ones with the good rolls. Also, do not bother salvaging anything until hell mode. It is the best to simply sell all the gear and use the money to upgrade BS/jeweller and stash. If you need any gear then instead of trying to roll gear from BS just buy it from AH.

Also, is anyone playing on the EU servers? hit me up if so! Had some good fun playing in public games today
