    Havent got a clue these days about system specs, any idea if Diablo 3 will run(and be playable) on this pc, I dont mind scaling graphics down a bit.

    Intel Core 2 Quad CPU 8200 @ 2.33GHZ
    4 GB Ram
    Nvidia GeForce 9600GS

    Dont want to spend €60 on a game to find its not playable!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,223 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    You'll be fine. Maybe not max settings, but certainly medium.

    There will be a release update of approx 100mb on the 14th (8am PDT) and you can also install the client on the 14th to be ready for when the servers go live on the 15th (11pm).

    Your posting too much

    Your excitement is growing

    The probability of you making D3 more **** is growing

    Control yourself!

    Still available at gamestop.

    I hope they deliver early, because I'll be pissed if I'm not playing at 11:00pm next Monday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭YouSavedMyLife


    The lore in Diablo is the best thing about it! Sure gameplay is cool and getting loot and all that jazz, but when i saw the first released cinematic for D3 i creamed all over my room. Plus it seems my theory about the game storyline and characters is becoming popular among the internets. Which is a shame really since there will be no OMG WTF moment for me. Thats if what im thinking is true. But being the lore geek that i am, and putting all the pieces together im almost 100% sure its true.

    As for Diablo dying in the end. He cant :P Apparently the prime evils cant be killed but only imprisoned.

    I expect my sleeping times to be really really really messed up during the release week :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 242 ✭✭GarethBah


    My final exam is May 14th :), anybody know of anyplace in Ireland currently selling the CE, I've got the annual pass but want the CE


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    i did a revision of the lore the other day, awesome stuff really :D

    Is anyone else happy that Paladins are gone or are now "monks"?


    Seriously the ladder community online was OVERSATURATED with hammerdin bots. I had a hammerdin in d2.. Back in 2003.

    Anyone have any predictions for what character class is gonna become the general "favourite" / "most used"?

    My bets on wizard.

    Or maybe a baba.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,755 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    according to a lot of polls, the wiz and witch doctor are quite low, with the barb and monk being quite high. I think even the blizzard poll was similar to that too.
    But yeah, no pala's and no necros, cant say i'll miss the paladins, but i loved necromancers


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭PandaX9


    Oh god yeah. I had a bone necro once.. Failed. Poison necro - would've have Ben a waste of time for me


    But my pride an joy, of all of my characters ever,

    Lvl 95 Summon/curse necro.
    He made every Tristrun so much faster to complete, when coupled with an auras in. Even the ubers stood little chance.


    HOWEVER, my favourite character class ever; assassin. Trapper whirlwind teleport assassin to be exact.

    Very disappointed they merged one of the best (most enjoyable to play) characters, le assassin, with my least favourite character, el amazon.



    Which characters are you glad to not see making a comeback?

    I think Druid/amazon were the least popular character classes overall in D2. Except for the few redeeming Javazons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,755 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    Am guessing they'll reintroduce some of the other classes in an expansion, hopefully the necro, but i seriously doubt it as the witchdoctor is comparable to it in so many ways.

    Yeah, i didnt like druid or amazon either but then i didnt like barb much either :/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,775 ✭✭✭✭Gbear


    I absolutely loved the Amazon. Strafe with a heavy crossbow was a thing of unadulterated bliss.

    Never took to the old Necro. Summoning always seemed too much hassle.

    Disappointed they removed the paladin. Always thought he had the nicest armour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭String


    I will miss paladins and necros. One of the reasons I am going witch doctor is because the necro is gone, although with necro non pet builds were very strong but with the witch doctor it looks like it will be reliant on pets.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭PandaX9




  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭PandaX9


    Plus, the demon hunter looks more like a assassin/necro combo than assassin/amazon combo. Or it could pass for a female necro wearing a Shako.


    Why did they have to take the necro's awesome shoulder spikes :( his armour made him so cool

    yeah but plague of toads and zombie nova! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭YouSavedMyLife


    Gonna be playing a Witch Doctor on launch, which is odd since i hate pet classes in like ALL rpg games. Will miss the Paladin and Assassin, but oddly enough i dont care much for the Monk :S

    GIMMIE THE GAME, THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER!!!!

    Wouldn't it just be great if they found a major world ending system destroying bug and had to delay the games release?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Big Knox

    No that would not be great, in fact it would be the worst thing that has ever happened in the history of bad things that have ever happened.

    12 years, 12 god damn years we have waited and poor Deckard is on his last legs if we wait any longer he could die of natural causes!! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,668 ✭✭✭String


    Any hints that there will be a secret cow level?:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit

    Yes. My character picked up a Black Mushroom, as did several others, and there are suggestions that it is used to make a secret portal.

    Though it could just be a reference to the quest from D1 where you have to get a Black Mushroom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,358 ✭✭✭seraphimvc


    so will the shop sell the hard copy on monday so i can play the game at 11pm?!!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,223 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Probably not. Would make sense, but probably not. I'm just hoping Gamestop deliver it a day early like they have other pre-orders i've done.

    In theory they should as servers wont be live anyway but blizzard probably dont want people that are getting hard copys to all be trying to login at 11pm and bringing down the login servers.

    Tristram is sad to be returning so who's to say Wirt's leg will be gone by then?

    As much as ive been looking forward to the game i probably wont get it straight away.
    Since i recently experienced Tera i reckon nothing will take me from it until GW2 is released, not even DiabloIII :eek:

    Fantastic so far,the combat blows everything else out of the water imo.
    Theres a thread over on the mmo forums about it.

    Can't wait till i get my CE... be awesome partying up with all the mortals with my master race wizard angel.


    Hopefully the peasant players can't unlock the wings at some point.

    I've given up on my quest to get the CE, the only place I could pick it up would mean waiting over a week for it to be delivered and there's not a hope I can do that so alas I shall be a peasant.

    I will resent those wings and everyone who has them, knowing they also have Diablo's head sitting on their desk.

    First world problems!! :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 35 airgilbert


    just went up 7 euro on gamestop.ie

    why did I wait to order :(

    Friend of mine had the same problem, but he managed to get a CE and asked Blizzard if he bought the digital version could he upgrade that to the CE and get his cash back for the digital version and they said YES.. oddly enough. Have a chat with Blizzard if you're still keen on having the CE and playing the minute it's released too.

    Might be an idea to give them the impression you already ordered the CE though.

    That's what I plan on doing, have the digital copy ordered and pre downloaded and have the CE from GameStop on the way...
