[quote name='Sir_Fragalot']Found a glitch sort of. I never got the achievement for beating the Skeleton King on normal yet I know I bet him because I am about to start Act II.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='SEH']Last night when the servers went down, when they came back up, all my achievements and Sigil unlocks were reset. I hope they wind up putting that stuff back.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='n4styn4t3']Well, I wanted to get a quick hour in before work but... SERVERS ARE DOWN!!
I'm new to PC gaming so I didn't really understand everyone's hate toward DRM (GFWL and such) but this is pretty annoying. Playing by myself and the game is either laggy (wtf?) or the servers are down. Wish there was an offline option where it closed off the auction house and multiplayer in trade for been able to play your game whenever you want.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Clak']So I go to sleep with the servers down for maintenance, and wake up to the same. Ugh....[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Jodou']Yeah, from last night and this morning I'm already sick of the downtime in my SP game. I just want to solo normal so I can get to the real game on harder difficulties with friends. I couldn't care less about hackers and dupes because they never bothered me in D2. As if it would even impact a game like this with no subscription model (hint: it didn't for D2). No, this is more about Blizzard's crusade to crush cheaters and profit from the RMT AH.
This game is fun, but I'm
already starting to get bored with the design. Progression feels slow and the lack of initial skills (only 17) just winds up being an exercise in repetition. The boss fights are the only breath of fresh air, but are generally a 'dodge this move' battle so far. I just started Act II and clearing those mosquitoes are just not fun; like 'Castlevania medusa head annoying' not fun. What I do like is smashing things in the face with my barb though. But after a few hours, that novelty wears off. :\
I really hope I can last in this game to inferno, because I imagine that's when the real fun starts.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='SEH']Pretty sure MF is broken or something. I was at 97% and wasn't finding shit. I get the exact same drops if I only have like 8%. Seems like a pointless stat as of right now. Also, yes, I was solo'ing, so I didn't have other people with lower MF bringing my percentage down.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Ruahrc']I'm curious what have people's latencies been like? I was fooling around with the demo on my old laptop and while the performance was slow, I also noticed the latency being pretty high. However I cannot tell if this is because of the crappy laptop not able to render the graphics and deal with the network transfer simultaneously or the crappy server due to heavy launch traffic.
My latencies were averaging around 300 ms, whereas I feel I have a pretty good internet connection (no problems in other games), and no such trouble when I was playing the beta on my main rig.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='SEH']80-120 when I'm solo'ing. When I'm with a full group, 300-350. Pretty bad, but honestly, their netcode seems really good because despite the high ping, its totally playable. It is odd though as I get 80-120 all the time on the Euro servers, so there are definitely some issues with the US ones.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='panzerfaust']This game is starting to feel a bit like WoW in that it doesn't really start until level 60. That's where all the loot is.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='100xp']feel a bit? it is WoW, just in the Diablo format...look at the leveling system and standardization of your stats, the way equipment looks, the auction house, etc. dont get me wrong, im enjoying the crap out of D3...i don't think it has anything to do with the game reallying starting at lvl 60 for where the loot is. The loot is there and currently there aren't any raid instances or quests.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Jodou']Waaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of you. It's a means to an end and I felt that way the first time I replaced a rare. It's all junk until you level cap. It's part of why progression feels so slow to me, because each time I get a piece of a loot it's just filler until the next. I want to min/max, but right now the top end is a moving target.
Also, my ping has always been 300+. I get warping every once and a while, but I have died a lag death once so far (in fact it was my only death on normal so far). I couldn't imagine trying to play this on hardcore;

off Blizzard with your shit lag.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Pookymeister']getting a lot of network disconnect messages tonight, boo[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Jodou']I imagine they're far undergeared but it just goes to show how disappointing inferno is. The mobs are deadly, but since trash doesn't reset unless you leave the game it only serves to roadblock the way to bosses. Unlike D2, you can't all just roll sorcs and teleport across the map to the bosses and just fight them. Difficult? Not really. Tedious? Yep.
The worst part is you can't install maphack, so you might end up clearing for half an hour just to find out you went the wrong way. That's

ing dumb design right there.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='sendme']Is it just me or does it seem like the multiplayer is not even worth it? D2 I thought had a great MP. D3 I can only join for the quests they will let me join for and as of now it has only been myself and one other person. I remember in D2 running the same boss over and over for better gear till I decided to go to the next act. When I was done with act 1 in D3 I thought I would do the same seeing how the rare drops from the boss were for the Monk and I'm playing a Witch Doctor. I ran the boss twice and only got some random blue items. I did the same thing for a quest in Act 2 with the same results. So it seems like farming is not really worth it in D3.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='SEH']An update to my issues before regarding the games performance. It seems its poorly coded for quad-cores, specifically i7's, i5's, and Phenom X4's. Setting my affinity to only use cores 0 and 1 (I've got a 2500k), as well as setting the process priority to realtime seems to have fixed the issues somewhat. Things tend to run a bit smoother. Hopefully others with these problems see this and can try that out.
Regardless, Blizz needs to get on this. People with old e8400/8800GT setups running the game better than those with a 2500k/GTX670 setup is pretty stupid.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='teknikalei']So I came to this thread to see if anyone else was getting booted - the longest I've been able to play is about 45 minutes, other than that I've been booted every 90-150 SECONDS. Seriously wtf?
It keeps talking about members of my party when I'm playing solo.
So annoyed, my gaming time is limited and I don't want to waste it trying to log back in multiple times.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Jodou']As for latency, the lag

ing kills me. So glad I have to deal with this shit soloing nightmare because how would I ever survive without warping back in place after putting my leap on cooldown? Warping back after I'm done using whirlwind to safety and wondering why my health is dropping is delightful. I guess we should be thankful the servers work at all but this is

ing garbage for solo play. I'm just glad no other company would have the infrastructure to support such a massive server connection, because I'd quit gaming if I had to deal with this shit.
Don't even get me started. This game isn't challenging, it's god damn cheap. I've died to packs of mobs plenty by now because I just don't care but never to a boss (yet). I guess I was expecting more, but the game is too damn easy and it's boring the hell out of me (pun intended). But I keep on playing, hoping it will get better at level cap. Inferno better be

ing amazing for group play or I'm done with this game.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Drizzt']I'm not too surprised that I'm getting bored of this game so quickly. It's either sleep inducing easy, or 1 shot player death on Normal. Not much middle ground. I enjoy a challenge, but the Diablo games have always felt like they provide a silly challenge of either level grinding to beat a boss/area solo, or calling in one or more of your overleveled friends to carry you through it. Once again, not much middle ground. Years of WoW have kind of turned me off of the whole pursuit for better gear as well.
It's not a bad game, but tonight I had more fun playing L4D2 than I did playing D3 earlier in the day, though dying to Belial and seeing that I had to re-do the first phase of his event didn't help much. I can see this game being one I don't feel like playing all the time, and that's fine. I guess I'm only slightly disappointed.[/QUOTE]
[quote name='Fell Open Ian']Not only is the sessionID exploit out there but, by my count, there are at least two wallhack/botting apps floating around as well.
It is pretty much par for the course with any game and even MMOs but Blizzard needs to patch and banhammer ASAP and especially after the launch week server woes.
Any justification for having always-online single-player DRM is complete bullshit when something as simplistic as the sessionID exploit exists and still remains unpatched. Botting and wallhacks are inevitable but the sessionID exploit is completely inexcusable.[/QUOTE]
