Diablo III is almost here!

[Volron]

 

My CE version is waiting for me....


I'm still not too sure which class I will start with.   I may start with a Demon Hunter, but the Wizard may win out.  The Monk looks like a lot of fun as well, but ye can't beat the good ol Barbarian's hack and slash fun either!

[xNOVAx]

I think i'm going to start with the monk, but yeah. With 5 classes and 10 years without a Diablo fix, it's a tough choice! 

[ACE]

I might play.  Its it likr ah were you have to pay monthly?

[Butcher]

Going to buy the $90 collectors edition, suppose to give you 3 months on Blizzard etc.

[Babalonian]

What else does the CE have above the non-CE?  I might pick one up at Frys this weekend if I get the motivation.

[Karnak]

I might play.  Its it likr ah were you have to pay monthly?

No, there is no monthly cost.

I got to play in the beta for a bit and i loved the Witch Doctor or the Sorc for my first toon...still havent decided. I will be playing as soon as servers are up.  Already got a 3 day pass from the better half so gonna be a hoot.

[SmokinLoon]

I'm all ready to go.  A lady Demon Hunter will be my first class.  Then either a monk or wizard.  I probably wont ever try the witch doctor, seems like a stretch for a character.  I'd rather have seen a necromancer.

Any bets on expansion characters?  I'm thinking a Templar, Druid, and/or I bet some sort of "converted" demon (half goat/half human variant).

[The Fugitive]

My son has been dieing for this game for years. He is going to start out as a monk and expand from there. Oh, did I mention that he planned a vacation for the week and has already reconfigured everything on his computer (he's a computer nerd working for a security software company) to be optimized for playing this game. He plans on laying in supplies this weekend for the "marathon" play he expects to get caught up in.    KIDS!


























of course if I could swing it I'd do the same for Aces High 

[Butcher]

We should band together and have an Aces High Diablo III group.

What else does the CE have above the non-CE?  I might pick one up at Frys this weekend if I get the motivation.

CE version simply comes with an Artbook, soundtrack, Diablo II and the Lord of Destruction expansion in it's own usb drive, and a dvd/blu-ray of the making of it (world, characters, etc.).  Originally I wasn't going to get the CE version, but I figured why the ell not?  Plus it comes with D2 and LoD, which is actually what tipped my decision in favor of the CE version.



I'm leaning heavily towards the Demon Hunter because of her range ability (use of crossbows).  My first character in D2 was the Amazon, and the Demon Hunter reminds me a bit of one, an Amazon/Assassin hybrid to be honest.  I did also enjoy playing the Assassin in D2, simply because it was challenging.  She wasn't a Trapper and was a HC char, and the REAL fun began in Hell Mode.   The ONLY Normal (SC) char was my Amazon in fact.  I instantly went to HC after I beat it on SC.



IF anyone is willing to do HC, then I'm game.  Of course, this will be after we beat SC.   Since there is a midnight release of it going on here, I'll be picking it up right off.

[Karnak]

It sounds like the hardest difficulty, Inferno, will be nigh impossible on Hard Core.

[Volron]

Yeah.  It was mentioned to not even TRY Inferno with an HC char....  Two words:  Challenge Accepted.   The tricky part will be to survive Hell long enough to reach level cap, unless they gear it towards you having to go through Inferno in order to reach the cap within this Solar System's life time.

[MarineUS]

I can't afford it but BETA playing would suggest that the monk class will be a pain to play for some time. *hint*

My keyboard is all prepped and ready for it (Pre-ordered CE).


Quality is kinda bad, but got a Dark Red backlight set with a permanent Diablo 3 picture on LCD.
