Sold a rare for 1360. Another blue item's up for same, don't think it'll go though. Put 2 more up for sale.

Also, done with Act 1, a little underwhelmed with it.Same was the case with D2 though. Currently on Lvl 17 monk with a 45.64 DPS.

And oh, Seven Sided Strike is f'king awesome, as is Lashing Tail Kick + runes

Ok another regular magic item (blue) sold

@piyush nice man.

Well the article was fun to read atleast.

[ydalmia]

Well the article was fun to read atleast.

All companies have issues with their games at launch, it is just that Blizzard games are so huge that the problems get blown out of proportion. Having said that, the EU servers are down for emergency maintenance on a Sunday .

On another note have cleared Nightmare with the Witch Doc at level 48, need to grind out a couple more levels for hell! I think I am kinda bored with the WD now though, only one viable build for the later parts of the game, rolling wizard as soon as I take this guy to 60.

[coolpcguy]

Love the monk, currently at level 25.

More screenshots:

Wave of Light + Explosive Light rune


Hordes are common




Cartoonish style? I think not..


Co-op with demon Hunter & Wizard


7-sided strike is another kickass skill

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

Screenies are good. Try to avoid public games for now. Until Blizz puts out a fix to the account compromise situation, better play SP. If you still want to do co-op, then make a password protected game and play with your friends only.

k, Blizzard have stated there is no exploit Blizzard Addresses Diablo III Account Hack Complaints

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

Yes. Just saw Bashiok's post stating the hacks were not the result of exploits.

What's the best server to play Diablo 3 from India ? (NA/Asia/EU)
Do you guys use some kind of tunneling service to connect to them ?

Another question, what kind of ISP would be best for D3 online ? BSNL tends to have huge packet lot issues (constant death in nightmare+ and even later on in normal).

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

will it work on my config in sig ? no gfx card yet

Yes. It will work. Intel HD3000 graphics is present in the GPU Support List for D3.

Asia probably.

Do you guys use some kind of tunneling service to connect to them ?

No.

BSNL tends to have huge packet lot issues (constant death in nightmare+ and even later on in normal).

I've played D2 multiplayer. Never died once due to lag.

Diablo III becomes the fastest-selling PC game in history

Despite a number of server-related issues surrounding the launch of Diablo III and the general displeasure of the “always-online” model, the title has become the fastest-selling PC game ever. Blizzard sold 3.5 million copies of the game within the first 24 hours of its release.

Additionally, Blizzard handed out 1.2 million copies to people that signed up for the World of Warcraft Annual Pass. Gamers were guaranteed a free copy of the game on launch day when signing up for a 12-month WoW subscription.

And since the launch, another 1.6 million games have been sold for a total of 6.3 million copies out in the wild. As one might expect, both Amazon and GameStop have said that the title was one of their biggest PC launches ever. This figure doesn’t include success from Internet gaming rooms. The Verge points out that nearly 40 percent of gamers in Korea are playing Diablo III.

"We're definitely thrilled that so many people around the world were excited to pick up their copy of Diablo 3 and jump in the moment it went live," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We also regret that our preparations were not enough to ensure everyone had a seamless experience when they did so. I want to reaffirm our commitment to make sure the millions of Diablo 3 players out there have a great experience with the game moving forward, and I also want to thank them for their ongoing support."

Diablo III’s early success wasn’t a huge surprise as the developer revealed earlier this month that it had become the most pre-ordered Blizzard game in history. Blizzard hosted a closed beta for several months and even made a small section of the game available for anyone to try roughly a month before the official launch to load test the servers. It seems that these preparations weren't enough as launch day problems have been well documented.

Repost. Check above.

Um dude. it's $90 SGD.

90 Singapore dollars ~= 3,900 Indian rupees.

That's about ~Rs 200-300 more than US pricing.

I'm on US servers, No tunneling service and I'm on BSNL here.

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

ITS HERE!!! AND I'M LOVING IT!!!

I'm currently doing Wizard on US servers. My bro is doing Monk on Asia servers.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

^^ you purchased 2 copies ? I know mostly, but wondering if you could share accounts..

[CommanderShawnzer]

^^what makes you think he bought two copies??

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

@akshay Not two copies. Only showing the front and back covers.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

no, you said your bro is on asia!!
You got 1 copy and your bro got one right ? or both you guys using a single sign on !! that's what I wanted to know.

[Gaurav Bhattacharjee]

Single copy. Single account.

[Krystie]

what kind of latencies are you guys getting on US/Asia/EU ?

[ydalmia]

what kind of latencies are you guys getting on US/Asia/EU ?

I used to get 500 on EU servers. Now i get 250-300 with lag spikes in between. They seem to have optimized the server load a bit better. Asian servers are the worst for me, they have the worst latency. And even logging in can be an issue on the Asian servers due to error 37.

I suggest either go for EU (lowest latency) or go for US servers (most stable).

Oh and the game is a so much worse than D2!
