I won't use RMAH.

So which class do you think will be played the most come release? I an leaning towards the Witch doctor, seems to have the most control at later difficulties, and my bro will be rocking a barbarian. The plan is to get to/farm inferno ASAP!!

I'm jumping to a Monk, though I believe the Barb will be the most played

I was thinking of Monk, and then I read the whole sorceress short story, so now confused. I loved that story, so want to play with storyline....
destined for greatness
But I indent to play all 5 characters...

Yes, Wizard sure does has a cool story, and the best spell animations! Was 100% sure she is my first pick but after playing her in the beta, I don't know if I like her playstyle. The beta was super easy and all, but I still had to kite mobs a bit, hell/inferno will be a pain with her lol. She should be beast in group play though.

Nobody thinks about Demon Hunter ? He/She will be lethal...

For sure, but during the beta the demon hunter is kind of lack luster. Her resource usage is awesome though, the best of all classes. She doesn't have to choose between offensive and defensive spells at all, and while in the beta we didn't care about this much, I bet it gets useful later on. But still, the whole running around and kiting thing is not my cup of tea.

With the WD one gets pets, a wall of zombies, aoe slows, confusion etc to control the flow of monsters, although I guess all classes will need to kite to some extent later on. Blizz alluded to monsters having trickier spells and abilities once nightmare starts.

I too liked the Wizard story very much and the animations. My pick would be Wizard or the mighty Barb for starters.

Guys, check this out. Someone has already got the box! (Source)

BTW, countdown started. 10 more days to go!

I thought they had started shipping boxes no? I bought and downloaded my copy long ago!

 

[007]

Is it? I didnt know that. I thought boxes would be shipped after May 15 and that is the advantage you get by pre-ordering the digital version so that you can start playing as and when the servers go live. You bought the box version or digital version?
If box, then from where and price?

I bought the digital version.

@All:
Will CE become available after the release date? I'm not asking about availability in India. I just want to know if shops would restock again after the release date or thats it, limited number of copies which are already sold out, end of CE.

 

[Alok]

^It 'll be back in stock.

Toms Hardware has put up Diablo III benchmarks. And the results are encouraging.

CEs are unlikely to be restocked.

 

[gameranand]

Looks like guys with mid range PC would also play it on full settings.

Yup, it is the diablo series after all. Plus blizz games are meant to be very accessible hardware wise. My new rig with a gtx 680 will blow this game out of the water, will be so awesome !

Oh and I very much doubt the CE will be available again, beats the point of it.

 

[suyash24seven]

hi, this may have been asked earlier, so pardon me for asking again. and i didn't really understand the charts posted above #noob

i have a question. will this game run on an Asus K53SM-SX010D?

thanks a lot

 

[coolpcguy]

Results are not really surprising, was playing it on my Envy @ 1080p & everything set to max

 

[CommanderShawnzer]

Yeah i also cant buy this game.
Infact why are most of the good game 1k+

good games(if you mean bethesda,blizzard ones) are more than 1k because they aren't officially present in india nor are they affliated to any distributor hence no subsidies for us indians and the "obscene"(for a developed country citizen those are normal)prices

Well I was not waiting and I was going to buy the game but I won't. So they lost 1 customer. I bet many are like me.

i bet that pesky student/pirate types will not buy(of course they will make a beeline for torrent sites to *get* thier "copy" and make some FAIL tries to play it) but that percentage is too low to impact sales. as if blizzard really cares for a bunch of half-pirate indian "customers"


on a seperate note-
i will buy the game some time ,like may be when blizzard goes on some christmas sale or something
graphics are nice, gameplay is lovely. only hitch is the continous internet thing but well, that does'nt make a difference to me unless they think this is WoW and want a subscription

@Gaurav Bhattacharjee : Dude, since you are the OP and a D3 fan Please make a list of people from TDF who play D3(once its released) and thier battle.net ID's(BattleTag and code) and the Region(US,singapore etc.)

Sure thing.

They'll need to PM me or communicate in some other way though.

[Blizzard] Diablo III - Wrath

Long before the creation of Sanctuary, the Eternal Conflict between angels and demons raged on for untold millennia. Blizzard Entertainment teamed up with renowned director Peter Chung and acclaimed animation studio Titmouse to create this unique vision of a fundamental moment in the battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.
