    Alright two things

    One, is it a known thing for the game to 'hitch up' seemingly when loading new resources for that session, like heretofore unseen animations, models, textures, etc? Or am I the only one getting that

    Two, barbarian or wizard

    The hitching I would guess is because you're not actually fully downloaded yet.

    As far as the patcher indicates, I am :|

    I have this problem too.

    Pre-ordered yesterday. Looks like it's gonna be a ton of fun. Going to roll a Wizard in Single Player, and Monk with @DHS Odium and @Javen when we play co-op.

    True, but I can see the potential now, whereas before I was having a hard time.

    The grab thing that the barb gets....that is BOSS. Good lord.

    You mean the Scorpion harpoon? Fuck yes.

    a reminder that the barbs ancient spear ability can be runed to deal extra damage and push enemies away instead of dragging them in

    so you are effectively towel whipping demons to death

    It's too bad the vanilla toad skill is completely impossible to aim. That rune will be required.

    after running through with all the classes again my two favorites are easily Wizard followed by Monk, though I'll probably try to get everyone to 60 and through Inferno at least on softcore because every class is so great.

    If you have one of each class maxed out, there's not really much point in rolling any new characters, is there?

    Does anyone have an inkling as to whether an xbox 360 controller can work with this at all, or well?

    It seems like it might work for some classes and builds, but any skill that specifically targets a location rather than a straight line out from the character(so I guess lots of Witch Doctor skills) would be mostly useless.

    This.

    I'll probably spend most of my time in softcore dabbling in all 5 classes, and then have a second slot for each class in HC for when I'm feeling daring or playing with other HC folks.

    First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

    they said they had versions of it that were working really well, but I've never actually seen it in action or if they change the way targeting works

    Unless blizzard supports using a controller, I dont think anything like joy2key or xpadder will work because of how much the mouse is used for everything.

    I'm really going to miss skill trees, because I had an untamable boner for Diablo 2. But I'll be damned if the rune system doesn't look like a lot of fun.

    not even having a sorc steal your unique drop with telekinesis

    or running hell cows for like 100 games in a row until it was time to skip on to doing pindle runs

    over and over

    forever

    I think my only true gripe with D3 is the way you have to pick from a limited group of skills for a certain slot on the mouse/action bar. Or can that be changed in the options?

    e: Oh, just read about elective mode. Gripe withdrawn. Diablo 3 is perfect.

    Results on 5k Pindle runs in v 1.13
    INTRODUCTION

    This covers the authors views and his rewards of 5 000 pindle runs with magic find of 410% to 423% all done in /players 1 on Hell difficulty in patch 1.13. All runs done in summer/fall of 2010 and took about 3 month to finnish of.

    BACKGROUND

    Hi all! I´m back again after half a years pause getting all mad about playing Magic The Gathering. As always the best way to get rid of one madness is to switch to a new one, or more like switch back to and old madness . For me it´s all about NOT doing one madness (or sadness) Drinking. In the aftermath of that big step I realized that every other madness was allowed so I resumed the thing my friends cannot and will not ( and maybe don´t deserve to understand )
    Area/Boss Run Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction ( Yes this sweet game! )

    As always you have this goal. Last Years Madness had the goal (or the goal became after first Ber Drop) to get hold of the Stick .

    This time it was all about the Grifffon's Eye


    SUMMARY

    Solution
    So f1rst of all you got to have a girl that want to go through pindys red portal 5k times. So meet up Cicci . After having something sweet as that you have to? yes... kill pindle over and over again. I go the military way and do like 100 runs a day. I had some days in the end of it where I had a hard time motivating myself but I don´t think I was of the hook more than 2-3 days in a row.
    During last Years Madness I had stacked up a nice pile of +7% to Magic find Small Charms. It feels very good to make some good use of them! (man how many charms I browsed through in thoose runs )

    what the fuck you in every way possible

    I think elective mode lets you move your skills around

    not sure if you can actually move the mouse skills though

    End on
    I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

    elective mode

    put any skill in any slot, pretty much

    I think there might be a few classes of skill that you can't bind to right/left click

    @Neville - Given Blizz's record of putting lots of stuff on the online 'store' for WoW, do you think it would be feasible they'd ever put individual digital stuff for Diablo 3? Like, I really like the wings from the CE but the rest doesn't interest me in the least and I can't begin to justify the 40 (?) extra dollars for a graphical effect. 5-10? Sure. 40? No.

    Yeah, energy wings.

    "Aesthetic Artifacts" in Diablo III: Two special color dyes (Bottled Cloud and Bottled Smoke) and glowing Tyrael's Angelic Wings. The wings toggle on and off. You can use all these items as many times as you want and can transfer to other characters on a single account via the shared Stash. [2]"

    Listed on the right. Not sure why it's so blurry.

    Yeah I'll understand if it's a no go and will be CE only but man.. they look so cool (and would make sense with a monk, sorta) but all that other stuff I just have no interest in. I mean, it's cool shit and all but I can't afford it. :(

    I'm disappointed that the CE dyes are just dark grey and off white. The descriptions sounded like they added effects. They could have at least been total white/black.

    Well if they prove popular enough, expect to see dye packs on the Blizz store. This is a serious post, I will bet money this will happen.

    All my characters will have wings and I doubt they'd sell the CE specific items on any possible store. It'd kinda ruin it.
