Okay so I am getting confused about D3 and character building. :/ I noticed Blizzard has a character builder here: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/barbarian

So I started going through it when it hit me, whats the point? Unlike other games where you could select a skill and you were stuck with it D3 allows you to change it up as you please. So why bother even planning your character out when you can change the character based on your current quest and what your party needs. This has completely floored me because I am not used to this way of playing. Normally you would have to plan your build well in advance but this way of playing takes away the risk factor of character building and just makes it ... boring :(. Maybe I am missing something hence the reason for this post hopefully someone could shed some light on this for me...

nope... it's character development lite... if you're hankering for something meatier, path of exile will fit the bill nicely :)

it's great to be playing the 'story' finally....

the balance is still all over the place... will go through periods where the mobs are as grass before your razor sharp scythe and others where it feels like you're swinging a whiffle bat...

going to switch to HC...

Got my CE yesterday, stared lovingly at it from 10am to 4pm, rushed home, began the install while helping the wife with dinner. Checked in just before dinner was ready 1 hour later, 40% ready. Ate, did the dishes, had a shower, another hour later, 76% ready. Watched an episode of Big Bang Theory, still 76% ready. Start scanning the forums, find a simple workaround, set IE LAN settings to "Don't auto-detect" (something easily missed because I use FF). Game finishes completing 2.5 hours later, woot. Time to play....

Not quite, login-servers hating life. Retry approx. 25 times, get in eventually, start playing.

Barbarian is fun! Having skipped the Beta, must say things are dumbed down somewhat since D2. Currently going down into bowels of the cathedral, on level 5 or so.

Wondering what the chances are Blizzard will patch the always-online requirement to allow people to play Single Player without all the server nonsense, hoping and praying!

Watched some of the making-of with breakfast this morning, think there's some epicness to come still!

Oh and apparently four guys in China completed the single player on Normal within 7 hours.

Wow. Sounds fun and stressful.

I hear the extra codes only give the same access as the demo. Is that correct?

The free passes allow you to play the First Act up to the battle with the Skeleton King, so yes, much like the beta.

Mine was set to EU by default, are your region settings for your battle.net account correct?

I agree. Only real fight i had so far, was with the skeleton king and a little fight with the blue/yellow/champ mobs.
Rest of the mobs get 1-2 shotted by my wizard, think they need an HP boost lol.

The arcane power (aka mana) regenerates super fast as well, i kinda thought it was a bug in Beta. 10+ mana per sec regen is insane lol.

I almost died 3 or 4 times. Luckly havent died yet but I wont say easy. You can easily get yourself into deep doodoo if you wanted to. Let's wait and see what happens when you get to nightmare, hell and inferno. I never had issues on Diablo 2 during normal, not even on the council but dammit those first mobs during nightmare mode on vanilla diablo 2 was a pain and even LOD hell was tough at times.

So they are buttering you up for a nice bend over session later the game :P

Not that much. But we had a 48 and 51 kill streak respective last night. 2 players. Mob count doesn't increase but the mobs hp or dmg reductions goes a bit up.
