Check in if you're playing Diablo III...

[LynneSin]

Not going to share my screen name here but if you IM me (and you have more than 10 posts) then I'll share with you. Alot of trolling going on so I'd rather not make it public.

[woodsprite]

1. I'm so old and nerdy that all that came to mind was

that the only Diablo I've ever played was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_630

by Xerox.

[Ohio Joe]

2. I'm at work but will be loading it in tonight...

I hope to get it all loaded and patched and still be able to play tonight (I have an actual disk instead of digital download). I'll send you a PM when I'm done... Anyone else that wants my ID, send me a PM and I'll send it to you.

[uriel1972]

3. Managed to get a monk to lvl 8

before had to go to bed. will play again later today.

[Whisp]

4. Playing.

and lovin' it. don't even mind the interruptions and server down stuff cuz I know I'll be with this thing for years.

[Aerows]

6. Me too

This is an event for me. Loving it. I have a Monk and a Barbarian. I LOVE tanks.

[Neoma]

9. Wizards I noticed, are really good tanks.

There's a spell where you have magic diamond armor that prevents you getting ANY damage. Add that along with what ever magic weapon, and you're deadly.

[Aerows]

10. Before the server went down

I started a Demon Hunter, and HOLY HELL what a fun class to play. I love the Monk, but DH rocks.

[Neoma]

11. Whisp plays that.

Be sure to stay away from the monsters, she kept forgetting that.

[Aerows]

13. I have no doubt

I'll end up a Monk Tank. It's just how it goes with these games and my personality, but DH is FUN.

[Whisp]

15. I was distracted and admiring my new lime green dyed armors.

yeh, that's it.

[Aerows]

20. Ah, man!

You already have dyes?

:looks enviously at Whisp:

I'd hate you if you weren't so cool.

[Whisp]

22. it's not that far into the game.

but I don't want to say it here because it was a sweet surprise when we came upon it and I wouldn't want to spoil it unless you Beg me to tell you. if you want to know you can PM me.

[Aerows]

23. LOL Whisp

You are so bad. I'll get there but the damn servers are down, again, sigh. You just managed to get ahead of most of us . And congratulations for that

EDIT: OOO I found the dyes while playing with Neoma. I got Winter. I didn't like it too much, but aquamarine looks pretty sharp now that I'm in chain armor

[Aerows]

5. Checking in, and want to form a guild

DUing our DUty

[LynneSin]

17. Look me up

using my screen name here at DU

[Aerows]

18. Aerows#1220

I'll keep an eye out as soon as the damn servers come up

[LynneSin]

24. Here's me

LynneSin#1318

[Whisp]

32. I'll check in with you here, on DU on the weekend.

I will have hours and hours of mostly uninterrupted time.

just for a fyi, (i'm sure you know but others may not) a team can have up to 4 players which is a bit small compared to the old D2. So maybe teams could be set up here on DU instead of chatting there in game? I find it's a bit confusing in game with invites and all happening from all directions with different objectives. but I'm old.

[Bjorn Against]

7. I am playing...

I will share my ID, just tell me your DU screen name when you send the request because I only accept requests from DU members and other people I know. Just send the request to BjornAgainst#1964. Currently playing a level 10 Wizard.

[Aerows]

14. Aerows#1220

This battle tag business is confusing, but please add me. I'm a Tank Monk mostly, since it is my favorite class, but I've also been messing around with a Demon Hunter. I'll end up as a tank Monk though, I really don't doubt that since it is how I like to play these types of games.

[Bjorn Against]

16. Sounds good, I will add you tomorrow

Servers are down now and I have to work in the morning, but I will be back on tomorrow evening and I will add you.

[Aerows]

19. Tank + Distant destroyer = unstoppable :)

Looking forward to playing with you. I ordered a new mouse just so I wouldn't be disadvantaged

[Neoma]

8. I am! In the sense that I'm waiting for the error message to go away again.

[Aerows]

12. They broke keybinding, too

In ADDITION to the server being down. I have a Razer Naga, and the right mouse button died like two days before Diablo 3, which is the worst possible time. I rebound the keys so that another key on the thumb pad does rm click, but then they broke it with the next download.

I want to scream. DH is so awesome, that I can get away without using any rm bound skills so far, but this sucks LOL.

In any case, I'm Aerows#1220

[Aerows]

21. WTF is up with the Black Mushroom

It says it is account bound. What is the purpose of it?

[Salviati]

58. It's used in getting to the secret level I believe

If you don't mind spoilers, look up Whimsyshire, and prepare to laugh your ass off...

[Aerows]

25. Are the damn servers ever going to come up?

I hate to curse, but damn. We waited, they came up, then they screwed things up. And here we are, waiting, again. The messed up key binding is my own private gripe, but not letting us play is pretty much all the complaint necessary.

[Whisp]

27. 11:45 Pacific Time, approx. is what they say now.

[Aerows]

26. Let's just be the DUzy's

That's our gaming tag I like it.

[Whisp]

41. I haven't read about guild naming at all.

We can do that? I know that each of our individual character names don't show in game, just your battletag name for all the ones you make so not sure how that Guild thing goes at all.

[Systematic Chaos]

28. How is the online Marketplace looking as a way to make a little real life cash?

I mean, even just enough to pay for the purchase of the game would be nice.

But are there things in the game which people will want to break out their wallets for?

[Whisp]

38. o yah. all the rich Romney kids buy their power. :)

it's sort of true in games too.

[BklnDem75]

29. Level 12 wizard here

Slowly but surely upgrading my blacksmith.

[Ohio Joe]

30. So... My home PC is now a brick...

I had to update to Vista Service Pack 2 which... To make a long story short... Failed and curropted my OS beyond use. I now have to locate an OS on disk to get it up and running again... sigh...

[Neoma]

31. Ouch.

[Ohio Joe]

34. Yeah... Sucks...

I just went and picked up a new machine on lunch, gotta get it set up tonight and see if I can get loaded and get on... yeesh

[Whisp]

33. lvl 16 Demon Hunter

really have fun with it - my connection isn't all that good, or my comp, so I'm a bit laggy but still have a blast. Dieing isn't near the pain in the ass D2 was.

[BklnDem75]

35. Level 19 wizard now

Just killed the witch in Act 2. Not feeling as tanky as I did in the first 2 acts. Poison bugs are a pain. Nothing's showing up at the Auction House, waiting to upgrade gear.

[Whisp]

39. I'm training my artisan and with a bit of cash and patience

I can make some decent upgrades for my stuff. Expensive tho! Lot of places to sink your gold in this game, I like that.

[BklnDem75]

49. Nice. Just made level 24 and completed Act 2 with a friend

Working with 50k, so should be enough to get some decent gear. Just saw a new gem vendor I have to upgrade as well, so I'm holding off making money until I'm much further along in the game. The Auction House is more than enough for now.

[white_wolf]

36. I'm playing.

I have a wizard and monk right now, both still in Act I.

[Aerows]

45. Shoot me a friend request

I'd love to add you

[Woody Woodpecker]

72. I'm Dustpuppy#1339

Please do *add* me, as I'm starting the game and learning how to re-play it.

Using Demon Hunter, will try Monk next after the first goaround.

[LynneSin]

37. Parents gone - time to play some Diablo - I'm LynneSin#1318

Let's get the clan going!

[Whisp]

40. I thought you would be MoreCowBell#1318

[Aerows]

43. Hey, Whisp

I played with Neoma earlier today. Hit me up with a friend invite Haven't caught LynneSin online yet, but got LS added. I also have some other folks to add, too.

The game rocks I just wish the server didn't go down so dang often.

[Whisp]

47. today was okay except for RIGHT NOW! lol

grrr, can't get on.

I am hoping to figure out a way to make the game run faster for me (I've just learned that Safari sucks up RAM and doesn't give it back so there is a way to remedy that I have to do) and I was using Safari almost exclusively a while back. So hope that is the problem and can be solved.

[Aerows]

51. I can't really help you much for Mac OS

Linux or Windoze, I could.

[Aerows]

42. I've made it just shy of 20

in Act II, but the server went down. I think I'm headed for some Taco Bell while I'm waiting

[Aerows]

44. More cowbell required, my friend

I haven't caught you online yet, but I have you added.

How do you make it so that your game is open to people on your friends list? I don't want any old person joining but people on my friends list are great. I love to party up. I'm playing a Monk and I'm starting to look awesome. I'll be even better when I get my new mouse in tomorrow. I can't believe I've hobbled along without a right mouse button this far LOL. Key bindings ftw.

[Aerows]

46. Am I the only one playing a Monk?

God I am loving the hell out of the class. You can heal your party members, and the Monk just plain kicks ass! I like tanky melee classes, and this one rocks.

[Whisp]

48. I haven't tried any of the classes since Game time

cept DH. I bet all of them have a special fun to them. So far, besides the connection problems, I just love it. It's like I designed and made the game for myself and what I like. and, I am so so so glad they kept is isometric and not 3D look at the sky and your feet while something kills you

[Aerows]

50. I know, it's pretty perfect

I just love the Monk. I played the DH when the NA servers were down and connected to the Europe servers. DH rocks. I have a couple of rare hand crossbows already, waiting for me to make one. The Monk, though, is like the perfect character class for how I like to play. Tankish and can heal.

[Aerows]

52. While we are waiting

What is the purpose of the Black Mushroom? Anyone figured that out yet?

[Whisp]

53. can't help you at all on that.

what is it? a quest, an item? I don't always read the reams of dialogue in the game.

[Aerows]

54. It's a quest item from Diablo 1

But I found it in D3, and it's labeled account bound. It could just be Blizzard trolling, as they do occasionally because it is listed as a "red herring" but since it is account bound, I figured it did something eventually.

[pinstikfartherin]

55. I read earlier

that it and 4 other rare items can be used to make the Staff of Herding and get to "Whimsyshire", a special level like the cow level in diablo 2. Whimsyshire is bright and full of smiling clouds, rainbows, unicorns, etc, to fight. The link below gives the details of what to collect/where.

[white_wolf]

56. Feel free to PM me here for my battle.net tag so we can play together. n/t

[white_wolf]

57. You know one thing I love about D3?

The shared gold and personal stash. It's really helpful for leveling new characters. It's great being able to share gear between your characters, I just found a really good shoulder piece for my wizard while playing my barb.

[Aerows]

59. :P

Me too.

I just read that as DU3. Hope to see you around, playing

[Whisp]

60. that and removing your gems!

that is such a great improvement from D2

[romana]

61. DLing

Just caved and bought it. It's downloading now.

[Aerows]

62. You know what the best part is?

I'm playing with at least 4 different DUers

I love this community, and that we can all have a great time together!

LynneSin Kicks ASS as a wizard, btw You are lucky to get that wizard in a party!

Though I must say, KK with that thing that shoots blue beams is pretty damn astonishing.

You wizards just rule. :shakes head:

[LynneSin]

63. I hate to say it but I hate my wizard. Need to get my barb up to speed

I'm having fun with her!

[BklnDem75]

64. I know how you feel

Nightmare is tough on wizards, especially with high health creatures. Health globes are the only things keeping me alive in mass mob situations. I've been getting my monk up to speed.

[Neoma]

65. I had to remind myself that I have other spells that would work better.

Then I was fine.

[BklnDem75]

66. The run spell worked for me...

When knee deep in mobs with elites throwing bombs from beyond range.

[Versailles]

67. Another DUer playing...

Played through normal with a DH and got stuck on Diablo and ran out of cash repairing...currently playing through with a Barbarian to rebuild the cash pool so I can try again with the DH on Diablo.

Any suggestions for beating Diablo would be greatly appreciated. I can get to about 40-50% health on him in the third round before something catastrophic happens and he catches me...which as we know is really really bad for a DH to be in range of any damage.

[LynneSin]

68. Yes best suggestion - make friends

we'll help you get thru that level.



LynneSin#1318 (it may be 15 and not 18 - check above)

[Versailles]

69. Will do! Thanks for the advice!

I'll add the names I can find in this thread...the request will be from Arawyn#1469

[DainBramaged]

70. Yeppers, just logged out to go to bed

players interested in running with the Bramaged one may PM me for my identity.....having played DI and DIi back in the day...

[From The Ashes]

71. I'm playing...

...and I love it so far. Anybody want to be friends? I'm Trekkerlass#1517.

[Evoman]

73. Bought it.

I've got 4 characters already (everyone but a wizard). Love the barb the most, but for some reason can't find good gear for him. As he is my highest level (21), he gives others awesome finds and cast offs but gets crappy equipment himself. I just love the game, especially wading in with whirlwind and leap.

Monk is cool. Demon hunter is meh for me. Witch doctor is doing insanely awesome, but she is benefiting from the gear the others got her...still....geez....she slaughtered Leoric five times faster than any of my other characters.

[backscatter712]

74. Got my male Demon Hunter named Blacklight and my female Barbarian SnuSnu. n/t

[Neoma]

75. SnuSnu?

What's that from?

[backscatter712]

76. Futurama!

http://www.comedycentral.com/video-clips/yttx80/futurama-death-by-snu-snu

[Neoma]

77. Thought it sounded familiar.
