It was like that from day one. You just had to log onto your Bnet account once while online and that basically unlocks the game for that computer. If you log in from a different computer, it will then disable any other computers until you log back in through Bnet. It was always like that. I was only ever online when I wanted to play multiplayer.That is interesting, because I remember having to log in all the time when I first played (the first two months after release) and being unable to play it on my laptop while out of the house on a trip once. If they allow playing without logging in now, that might have been patched, and if so I am glad they did.
D3 is a bit of a different beast though, because they would once again have to patch in a method for characters to be saved client side and wouldn't be able to let those characters be utilized in the online systems for things like achievements. It would be way to easy to hack. I know, I used to mess around with hacked offline d2 characters to try out things like the Barb with all the best stats and gear.
It's funny because I got the point originally, I just liked messing with you.Pro-tip #2: Blizzard was the girl.

Which is COMPLETELY feasible for Diablo as well. I really could give two shits about what happened with D2 online because I never played D2 online. I only played coop LAN. So, yeah, to say that I'm not a fan of this persistent online bullshit would be an understatement.
No, this is more like Blizzard...Pro-tip #2: Blizzard was the girl.
Never.Gets.OldNo, this is more like Blizzard...
As i said before, when the asian servers went down the EU and NA ones weren't even opened yet...Huh, must have been before or later then when I'm talking about. For me the US and EU servers went down around 10PM central, and the Asian servers were up at that time.
Puny Gamers!!!!No, this is more like Blizzard...
This is totally not related to Diablo..but, the movie is Easy A. Just so you know.Emma Stone? Which movie.
It's the ''secret cow level'' of D3.Hah, is that real?
I was in queue because the servers are full, then after a few minutes in queue got a message that said the servers are busy and to try again later. Niiiiiice.I'm in a queue because the servers are full...
Strangely enough, they let me in, let me play for a good 10 - 15 minutes, then disconnected me mid-combat without me ever getting a system message telling me that the server was coming down. I sure am glad I got this game for "free." If I'd paid $60 for it, I'd be fairly annoyed.If it makes you feel better, the servers are down for a rolling restart for the next 15 minutes or so.
I think you meantYou guys make me wanna play Diablo 3 so much.
I am really digging the Enchantress while using my Wizard, mostly because two casters are pretty strong and she helps me control the battlefield. She also has a shield that deflects projectiles, which are pretty much the main thing that gets close to killing me.So you get one of three followers - Templar, Scoundrel and Enchantress. Which do you think is the best and why?
