Diablo III Thread - for nerds

[Redox]

So you don't have a problem with the demons, magic or supernatural abilities... but high heels on a woman makes the fantasy game unrealistic .

But seriously, I do have two questions for people who know.
1. Do you need to log in to Battlenet to play single player (does the game have such a thing).
2. Does it run smooth on a 512MB laptop (Mac) graphic card.

Yes you need to be logged in all the time. You can play on your own, but there is no real distinction between single and multiplayer. Changing between the two, inviting people to your party etc works very fluid.

Dont know anything about mac, but 512 MB graphic card should be no porblem. Requirements for this game are not too high.

And I think the game is really fun, especially in a group. Quite grindy, but that is to be expected for the genre of course.

I just noticed what your name is..

Somehow that urges me to play LOD more than D3.

Do it, the graphics are just as good.

Never cared about the graphics. Sound and Music, on the other hand.. It was Matt Uelmen back then, I even managed to remember this name.

Thanks for the info!

So if you are without net you can not play at all, or is there a guest account like for StarCraft 2 (although I guess, if you don't have access to your characters, it would be pretty useless).

And let me guess, the characters are kept online, so you have zero control for your saved games.

... D3 looks like a fun game, but these small details make me think twice if I want to buy it (I was without internet at home for a few months, a year ago). I'm still on the fence!

These days I have two "sets" of games to play - online and offline ones. As I never rush to play the newest (neither freetime nor desire) titles it's quite a collection now, stockpiled and waiting to be unpacked and played. Basically I'm stocked with entertainment for years ahead, but those are offline ones. Now if this tendency with online-singleplayer remains I'm screwed

By comparison I am "normal". At least I unpack them, give them a try for a few days and after that I forget about them and revert back to my oldies .

Were you able to get on the servers? The vids looks great, how you like?

[Einhander]

Just bought its digital version ("insta-tied to Battle.net account" one). Downloading the game client right now, will try to login in an hour or so.
