[Gaming] Diablo 3 : Ser Farm-A-Lot

Not sure what to say, I guess it's just something you had to play the old Diablo games to really get into.
Yes that IS really stupid.
It's not that small a fee... first off, Blizz takes 15% of whatever you sell as a commission. They also charge you a 15% fee to transfer the funds out of your Battle.net Wallet to PayPal. The most you can sell an item for is $250 and that is also the most your Battle.net Wallet can hold. So yeah... your not going to be making that much off this unless you can consistently craft high end items.
Fuck Blizzard and fuck their god damn fucking servers. Fuck them.
FUCK
FUCK
Is it saying that a specific file may be corrupt? I had that happen to me, it was an update file. I just deleted that update file and ran the launcher again. It redownloaded the correct file and all was well.
It's only the first day. This is pretty normal for the launch of a big name online game. In a couple of days everything will be fine.
Here's a tip that was driving me crazy that everyone should know to get more information on their skills. Go to options > gameplay and click 'show advanced tooltips'. Now skills will show the actual numbers of how much damage they do/reduce/increase/etc.

This is what I see:
The steps they suggest to take are:
- Restart. This does nothing.
- Delete the game and reinstall. Now, this has worked each time, but after uninstalling I have to download a couple GB worth of data.
Ouch man, that sucks.
Got booted, and when I looked at my available Acts list it showed me at the Drowned Temple. Ingame, I had just passed the small outpost in Act 2, not long after getting the Enchantress. If I'm stuck back at the Goddamned Drowned Temple and have to clear it all again, not to mention all the achievements I lost the first time this shit died today, I'm going to be a little upset.
If you're installing from the digital copy, did you delete your install folder? The amount you have to download should be a couple hundred megabytes for the updates.
I noticed a similar problem, but my character is still showing all my armor from when I was booted. I think it might just be a display hiccup.
Hopefully...

Figured it out. Each time I download this it changes the name of the agent file running - or at least the version. So when I log out, my firewall no longer recognizes it. So I got it to run again, but it's a moot point because all battle.net servers are down so we can't play the single player game we paid for.
That's true, I was the same level and had the same armor/weapon. I mean, I'll play through it all on another character eventually, but I just cleared it today and would like to wait at least a little while before having to do it again.
This is almost as bad as a Valve game launch. I still remember the servers for Steam being down like 5 hours when L4D2 launched.
If only there was some technology Blizzard could make that would allow a person to play the game without requiring authentication against their servers. It would have to be some kind of fancy name like "asynchronous simulated server holistic offline leveling engine" to get past investors, but in the end, I think it would be a good thing.
This is nothing worst then what I remember happens on most WoW expansion release days, and it ten times better then the actual WoW launch, so maybe I am just used to it. I just plan to sit here and read till it lets me back in.
God damnit Scythe. There's a big difference between a MMORPG like WOW, which requires you to play online, and Diablo which, if I want to, I don't have to see another human being for hours. WHICH I WANT TO.
I don't think I've ever had this much of an issue staying online with any WoW xpac, not even BC. Granted, I was on PST at the time, so maybe I missed the brunt of it by being at work or school or something.
I'm pissed because I can't play my SINGLE PLAYER game I paid for because their idiotic servers can't keep up.
Shit... even Origin worked better than this for me...
Shit... even Origin worked better than this for me...
Don't get me wrong, I agree in that regard, but it does not really drive me to the rage others are feeling. I just can't get all that angry about it, because I am ultimately used to it, regardless of the game type.
I don't like the fact it's online only, though in D2 I never actually played the offline version because I hated the idea of making a character that I wouldn't be able to play with others online. I guess that is mostly why the whole premise does not sting me all that much. I knew I would be going through these issues even if an offline single player existed.

Sucks for him, he could be getting laid instead of sitting at his computer refreshing to see if the servers are back up yet.
That is good, at least Origin works for you. I have gone weeks now with Origin not able to even start, so I find that a bit worst.
Dude that guy needs to calm down, he is grabbing that box so tight his fingers are cutting right through it!
It's that bit that would piss me off. It shows what a stupid idea this whole online only thing is.
