Hopefully a GTX 560 can handle this game at 1920x1080. If not...time to upgrade!

Aye, it be just for gold!
I haven't gotten to runes and such, but the customization doesn't look too overwhelming. The most enjoyable part for me so far is the atmosphere Blizzard has been able to build. The art in the game is fantastic and the voice acting is top notch.
I'm 100% sure it can. My 470 is only at 30% utilization with everything maxed.Quote:

One thing I noticed is that crafting is really good. The weapons and armor I crafted were better than anything I picked up, however I was playing on normal so I do not know if crafting scales with the difficulty. I really like the skills and passive perks. You can quickly change your character from an AOE DPS, direct DPS, tank, healer, etc just from going to a shrine and swapping out skills and perks. That means you don't have to spec a certain way and be stuck.
LMFAO!Quote:

Damn, I just read something kind of bad. It seems that they are doing away with the two items that let you break items down into crafting materials and turn items into gold. Instead, you have to travel back to town to do that. I really liked being able to break down the trash in the dungeon. It had a great flow to it. I hope they reconsider. The last thing I want to do is return to town every 10 mins to empty my inventory.

There's the blog post that's talking about all the changes to the gameplay systems. I don't agree with their stance on needing to send players back to town to sell their items.
I haven't been keeping up on the beta since I beat it before Christmas so I haven't signed in since, but this is disappointing to hear.Quote:

This is basically how I feel about this game:

I got into MS's Flight beta (the F2P sequel to Flight Simulator X.) I'm pleasantly surprised! It is like a spiritual successor to Pilot Wings when the physics are lowered for beginners and a full on simulation for enthusiasts when the physics are maxed. They struck a great balance. I won't say any more since it is still under NDA.
24 hours+ and no new reports?
Well, I beat the beta with a Barbarian. I'm planning to try the Demonhunter next. Is there anything you guys want to know more about? I can check it out for you.
Is there a class similar to a trap assassin?
I'm not too familiar with D2 characters. I haven't played that game in many years. How does the trap assassin play?Quote:

Due to these capabilities, this class is apparently a combination of both the Amazon and Assassin classes from Diablo II.
Nice! I was doing a bunch of research to find it a while back and they didn't mention anything about traps, but I did find the Demon Hunter to be the closest. Now that I know she has traps that will be who I use! Timman-The "trap assassin" is a certain build used with assassin which lays little sentry gun type things around shooting anything from flame to lightning, to just pure death.Quote:

It seems like a pretty fun class to play.
Something I experienced last night was a little disheartening though. I had some lag in the single player portion. I highly doubt it was my computer hardware, but my internet connection. I did not know your position and actions were all checked by blizzard servers in single player.
Then I realized there isn't single player. I was actually on a server that was set to private. I thought the game authenticated and then let you play, but it seems it constantly checks what you are doing.
This would be fine, but I did experience lag so I was a little put off by it.
Jeez, that is annoying, as if it isn't bad enough that you need an internet connection to play single player, now you have to experience lag? They better get that fixed.Quote:

I was planning on trying a Demonhunter tonight. They dual wield cross bows, so that will probably be exactly what you are looking for.Quote:

RPGs in general are just too involved for me these days, used to love playing them though.
I think this is why it took me so long to beat the beta. I just couldn't get into it.Quote:

Say it aint so Joe! :p
It's nice that they kept the same font type. I love that series. So many hours lost trying to get back armor and items from my dead body.
