April 17th is the leaked date? Juuuuuuust after my birthday. Oh well, close enough.

Time to fiddle with talent calculators instead of doing productive things.

^true story.
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4612389/Diablo_III_Launching_May_15_–_Digital_Pre-Sales_NOW_OPEN-3_15_2012

I’m DLing the client as we speak.

1168

I, Jay Wilson, and IncGamers, stand corrected.

Not that Jay is worth a damn quote-wise.

1169

I thought you were trolling when you said Apr 17th haha Not believable in the slightest.

1170

So… May 15th… I finally get to play a Diablo game with other people! Alrighty, who’s going to let the scrub tag along???

Also to confirm, I am a yearly pass subscriber to WoW and on my battle.net profile it shows Diablo 3 as active and I can download the game client, or at least it gives me the option, I’m not sure if it actually works to D/L it yet. Even if it does I imagine I couldn’t play since no servers are up, but pre-installation is an option.

1171

I finished playing through the beta, and I must say I’m less hype for D3 than I was before. The auto gaining runes as you level, only 4 abilities per slot (even if some runes make them completely different), and the general slowness of the game have it not living up to my expectations (especially with no arena PvP)

Still a day 1 buy for sure

1172

So what you’re saying is… after playing the Beta, its not the greatest game of all time, but its still Blizzard Diablo so I’m buying it

OR are you saying

“It’s not the greatest game of all time, but it’s still Blizzard Diablo and it’s still awesome and amazing just not 100% as awesome and amazing as I had hoped”

1173

I don’t troll, lol.

I aim to piss certain people off, occasionally, but I never troll.

I was misled, as was my source… but IncGamers is STILL a better fansite than ANY of the official ones - hands down.

1174

The former, it’s not bad but it’s still not all I had hoped for

1175

May 15? Rofl so close to SFxT on PC. Fuck SFxT now. D3 it is.

1176

I’d feel better about that site if Murt or whatever his name is wasn’t a giant fucking imbecile.

1177

I am not playing with any of you, unless you can supply a picture of your D2 disc that says “Ver 1.0”

1178

I lost that puppy YEARS ago.

I’ve had like 4 other copies since then.

Hell, I still have fond memories of open-source Open-GL Glide being a way for me to make the game play viably online.
