I agree. I have to pack and move today and feel no need at all to play. Real life comes before videogames. I used to act sick to play games when I was a kid, but as an adult, no. Blast Corp was the last game I skipped RL to play lol.Quote:

I find it hilarious when people who get mad at any entertainment company. No one MADE you pay $60 for the game. No one FORCED you take the day off work. No one FORCES you to buy the DLC.Quote:

I work for EA, but don't care for a lot of their pricing models, so I don't play their games anymore. My life has yet to collapse as a consequence. D3 servers are probably going to be wonky for a few days, so I might just wait, instead of spending money now and getting pissed off about it when I full well know exactly what's going on.
I get a ton of leave to use, so spending a half day of it isn't a big deal at all to me, but the reason I put in a half day of leave today has less to do with me being in the OMG DIABLO III I MUST PLAY IT NOW crowd and more about just not particularly enjoying work and being glad to have a reason to get out of it. :D This is a new thing to me since I never, from kindergarten through my master's degree, even skipped school to play a game.
Incidentally, I start a new job in June, from which I hope I never have the desire to take time off for a video game launch.
I couldn't even play til 1:30pst last night because the servers were getting hammered. It's fun though :)
Not sure what's worse, people complaining that the servers down or people complaining about people complaining that the servers are down. Add one more to that since I posted this: people complaining about people complaining about people complaining that the servers are down. Never ending cycle of people complaining about people complaining.
I'm going to complain about you. Where does that put me?Quote:

It is my hope that the servers will be perfectly fine by the time I get home from work. :)
Downloading now. Doubt anything has changed since beta though. Going to have to wait for new MacBook to come out.
They worked fine when I woke up this morning. Not sure what they're fixing now, but ETA is 30min.Quote:

Also, there's apparently a showstopper bug related to giving a shield to a certain follower, so that's probably what the emergency maintenance is for.

Maintenance extended to 1:30PM PDT.
My copy apparently still hasn't been delivered to my house yet so I'm still up at work, waiting.
Got my delivery text from Amazon at lunch. Gonna be a long afternoon.
Well, finally got home from work and got everything keyed in... and servers down... lol
Add me!
Blast Corp is such a great game.Quote:

Word through the grapevine is there are some serious corruption issues going on. First they thought it was a latency issue, now they aren't sure. Server and client are getting out of sync for some reason.Quote:

I wouldn't believe any ETA right now. They aren't going to risk having to do a rollback on Day 3. The only thing worse than having to take the servers down on Day 1 is having to rollback to Day 1 on Day 3.
None of the options on the Battle.net website to let me add the game to my account seem to be working. Wonderful.
The giantbomb quicklook is hilarious. They try to play D3, but get all kinds of errors then they try SCII but its down so they fire up Diablo 2 and play that for awhile. Still playing D2 on D3 launch day. :D
Well, I got this sucker working on my POS MacBook with a GF 320M. It struggles at like 720p resolution even with everything set to low. :mad:
It's killing me inside, because I don't want to shell out $1k for a new desktop rig, but the only two notebooks I want aren't out yet—the next MacBook Pro/Air or the new Lenovo X1 Carbon.

Will probably be on tonight or tomorrow. Gonna go Wizard I think.
I'm playing on Euro Servers (Asians don't like to talk) I'm serious you go play a BF3 game on an Asian server and no one says anything I'm a social creature.
Anyways we should all add each other, my name is Nik00117 and my character is IkillzU
beta ran fine on my gf's macbook air (1.6ghz dual core, 2gb ram, integrated graphics)Quote:

Uh oh I had some somewhat negative comments about the first day of a new release. I think I'd better go create a thread on the Blizzard boards about the lag and then give the game 1 star on Amazon.
