Diablo III - New patch 2.1 Coming Aug 26

Everyone knows that you do have to get a BattleTag from Blizzard first, right? That is something you can do now while you are waiting (if you haven't done so....)

Edit, oh, and I definitely will be a sorceress again (don't like the voice of the male version, otherwise would have gone that way.)

Here is a cool video on who does the voice acting. There are some subtle spoilers I think, so careful if you want nothing to do with them.

Spoiler!

If the chat system is anything like SC2, anyone could create a chat group, say "CPuck" for people to drop in and play.

I'll be on at 1am sharp so I'll try and make a group if I can. Obviously I don't know the system so I'll be on CP at the same time to see whats up.

Tag is JPeeper#1590

I'll be Witch Doctor or Monk.

[Esoteric]

Going to take a nap and be on at 1. Can't wait for this game.

Oh, and battle ID

Esoteric#1832 - Barb/Wizard

First character will be a Demon Hunter, Rathji#1666 is tag.

Probably won't be on until bout 4 or 5 am though, going to go to bed early.

Pacem#1268

I'll look for that group if someone starts it. Not familiar with the set up either so we'll see how that goes.

[calumniate]

Haha my computer is maybe 4 years old processor wise and I think I can still run this! Interesting. I wonder how it would be?

No, as far as I can tell it is only if you buy it online that you can download the client online.

Buy the disc, install from the disc.

From what I understand, the battletag name (minus the # and four digits) is what is displayed the majority of the time regardless of what you named your character.

I hope everyone likes the battletag name they picked

....and I have no idea what I'll be because I've never played a Diablo game before (well, Diablo 1 on PSX for like an hour...)

But hey, I'm stoked!

[IliketoPuck]

Damn CFA exam. See you guys bright and early on the 3rd of June......

[3 Justin 3]

So let's do this!

If you like in your face combat, then Barbarian or Monk is for you. If you like ranged, then Demon hunter, Wizard, Witch Doctor are for you

Looking forward to this. Wouldn't have imagined all the hoopla leading up to this when I played a neighbors copy of Diablo in 96.

[BlackArcher101]

Damnit, I broke down and bought it, even though I have absolutely no time to play it.

That alone brings back memories of the prior Diablo games. Looking forward to wondering what that weird light coming through the window is in 5 hours.
