Post by: pilonv1 on July 31, 2011, 11:14:26 PM: legit thought this would be an ironic thread about the Real Money use. I know I'm certainly less interested because of it

edit: nevermind, worked out it was just for player to player transactions, not like an item shop. Hype restored.

That's pretty smart. So long as it ends up in this game being officially supported forever like other Blizz games

Post by: cool breeze on August 01, 2011, 12:30:25 PM: I want in this beta :maf

the online drm isn't so bad here since Diablo is kinda sorta an online game. Ubisoft adding it to single player heavy games was more the problem. Still lame since my isp is shaky and if I need a quick loot fix, I have to play Torchlight, Torchlight 2, Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Titan Quest, etc instead :'(
Title: Re: All aboard the Diablo 3 hype train!
Post by: archie4208 on August 01, 2011, 02:04:24 PM: It'll eventually be cracked, like every other DRM in the world.

Title: Re: All aboard the Diablo 3 hype train!
Post by: Don Flamenco on August 01, 2011, 04:51:28 PM: oh wow, my blizzard account really was compromised. I thought it was spam, so I marked that email as spam :-\ Uh, is the process to get that fixed a pain in the ass?

have specs come out yet? Wondering if I can run it on an 08 macbook aluminum (9400m, 2.0ghz c2d, 4gb DDR3.) If the beta also includes the mac version, that is.

It would be cool if there was a cracked copy of the beta that I could download and play offline :)

It might 'run'. But not really in any setting that could give you joy. New 13" macs would be even worse since they no longer have any dedicated gfx.

Mac :gloomy

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on August 04, 2011, 04:42:52 AM: No more skillpoints!

More Guild Wars like system!

Imho very good idea. More variety in combat, more chances to try out stuff.

Post by: naff on August 04, 2011, 06:50:22 AM: Damn, always online DRM. That's a bitch, though Diablo 2 was a pretty shitty single player cRPG, I don't think I've ever bothered with offline play (never played OG Diablo)

Fixed.

Post by: Cerveza mas fina on August 04, 2011, 08:20:11 AM: Enjoy playing on pirate servers filthy poors.

There is no way there will be a crack that will allow you to play offline AND on B-Net where there is trading in money. If there is, expect lots of bannings.

Title: Re: All aboard the Diablo 3 hype train!
Post by: naff on August 04, 2011, 07:07:52 PM: So looting is instanced, everything drops on the ground like D2 except only you see it, everyone has their own loot table in a game. I think I like this, if I was a big loot ninja in D2 I would be mad, but here in NZ competing with shitty lag for loot in D2 was a crap experience, I wasn't able to get much good stuff till I could do solo runs so I welcome this move.

Post by: CajoleJuice on August 06, 2011, 08:43:52 PM: Do you have a better chance of getting in this beta if you have D2?

I wish my dad didn't throw out my D2 discs before the online verification started up. :(

I got into the SC2 beta and the only thing I had on my account was a WoW trial. However, they did say D3's beta was going to be small and wasn't going to last very long so..

Having D2 on your account won't affect your odds of making it into the beta.

I spent like three days without internet last week and that shit happens all the time over here not to mention power outages so I'm not a supporter of this always online crap, not like I buy pc games anyway but just saying.
