Beat normal yesterday.  Ran through it with a friend doing 100% clears of each map.  Took us about 27 hours.  Difficulty was a bit more even than in Diablo II, though I do think it is a bit harder having recently (last month) played through normal and nightmare in Diablo II.  We were both 32 at the end.

We're going to, at a slower pace, play through Nightmare with an additional friend.  Having done a Wizard (me) and Demon Hunter, we'll add a Witch Docktor now.

My box laughs in the face of you puny game cases! :P
I run around all wingaling like with White-dyed armor. "I'm the White mage, and no one f^%$s with the white mage".

Spinnich, myself and his friend aren't far in yet, we are about to start looking for the final sword fragment.
Soon as we beat it I'll likely start a new run-through with whoever feels like joining.


Also, still have 2* Trial Invite Codes sitting around, likely to have 2 more later (will know in a few hours). If you want one, first come first serve.
*Edit: 1 remaining from mine.

:rofl  Yes, it was obvious!

How can any red blooded male not see the front view of a P-38 and not think those two spinners look like boobies!  And those twin booms are long sexy legs!

I mean hello...  It was quite obvious!

And thanks Ack-Ack for the code.  I appreciate the chance to check the game out before I fork out the money for it.   :salute   :D

I was excited when I heard Diablo 3 was coming ..

..then I saw the trailer.

Just could not buy into all the hype about a reworked Diablo 2.
I was expecting first person, Unreal engine at least, immersive environment.

I mean .. next they'll rework Asteroids as 'the next big thing'  .. LOL.
Or mebbe Pong.

That sounds absolutely horrible and not a Diablo game.  Glad they didn't try to do anything like that.

Oh good, thanks Wiley.  Downloading the client now.  Glad to hear it can be paused.  I need a game that I can stop when the phone rings and I have to actually work for a few minutes.   :D

I'd play it then. First person makes it easier for me to immerse myself into the game. Give a third person (or w/e you call what it is now....re-formed side scroll? lol) option and a first person.  :aok

people were still playing diablo 2 ten years after release, it obviously didn't need to be re-worked into a new format

in other news, hell is bloody hard in places!

extra health waller jailer mobs = no big deal

arcane teleport mortar = aaaargh

Funny thing is...  I loved D1...  I can remember several long weekends where I hauled my computer to a friends house and set up a LAN network so we could play through it together.  Bought D2 the day it came out, but never really could get into it.  Had a lot going on in real life at the time, so maybe that's why...

I would by Diablo 3 but I suffered an Error 37 while on my way to the store. Plus I'm just now getting addicted to Skyrim.

Easy mode is easy mode, myself and Volron beat D3 only dying twice on belial and diablo, however we both entered hardcore and will head to Hell and Inferno after.

The game is tailored to all players, if you want to die a hundred times and see no fun, then EZ mode is the way to go.

Hardcore mode is simple: you die, you die, kind of like comparing Main Arena in AH to FSO.

I certainly am enjoying hardcore mode, gives me a better interest in the game since softcore mode is rather no fun at all, one good reason is their really isn't much of a challange, a 6 yr old can beat it.

I checked some stats on Hell/Inferno - you best to beat it a few times before venturing into this area.
