Diablo 3

New to the franchise, and haven't had a lot of time to play so far, but I am LOVING it! This is the kind of game that makes me long for more free time!

What's everyone's battle tags? As I said, I'm not too far into the game yet, but I'd love to start building our friends lists and getting some co-op games going!

I wouldn't worry too much about lack of playtime. Here's the new Diablo3:

Act1: Fight the maintenance server boss to login to Diablo
Act2: Fight the ability to patch game boss endless loop
Act3: Fight the euEN usEN boss
Act4: Fight the stuck at login screen retrieving your hero boss


YOU HAVE DIED

I have yet to have any of the issues you just described. In fact, I had my very first lag stutter last night while playing, but it lasted all of like 2 seconds and that was that. I really have zero issues while playing D3.

Blizz must really not like you folks lol.

Gotta love Blizzard patch days....


It wouldn't let me log in for quite a while tonight, but I was able to after I left to do something else for a couple of hours.

Lol, I'm convinced that Blizzard has a grudge against some of you. I logged on at about 9 PM last night w/o any issues.

I hate that it puts you in general chat. Now I have to deal with all those clowns trying to sell fake gold and child porn, but I did meet a cool guy who gave me a bunch of free items.

Hmm, I've never been in general chat, and I don't get automatically placed in it either.

Also, while I don't think I've had as much trouble with lag as NoNameFace, I usually have a good bit of stutter when I first log in. It also tends to slow down when I run into my first group of monsters (I've died from this a few times). However, I usually attribute this to trying to run a very heavy-graphics game on a laptop.

EDIT: Ahh, I see, the new patch automatically puts you in general chat. That's annoying.

Wow! Are you a Monk as well? Did you get your weapon from the AH or in-game?
