Nice story for you guys.
Just got out of seeing the Avengers (Was Amazing! Go see it!!) and while i was waiting for other members of my group to come out of the restroom someone passed right by me. It was Jay Wilson!!!! At first i was like O__O then as he passed by i asked him if he was Jay and he said yes. I told him Diablo III is gonna be awesome and that he and his team did a fantastic job with it. He thanked me and he went to see a film. Im still in shock!

Diablo 3 Will Not Support AMD’s Catalyst 12.4 Release

May 6, 2012 - DaJuan Harris


Diablo 3 is just days away from being released to the public, and many people including myself are waiting to pick it up. However, if you are using AMD’s latest Catalyst release It looks like you will have to roll back your drivers.
Omrakos, a ‘Support Forum Agent’ from the official Diablo 3 forums has revealed that Diablo 3 will not support the latest AMD Catalyst Drivers. If you continue reading the thread, which you can do here. It seems that users with the Catalyst 12.3 release are experiencing the same error, which says that the video driver is not compatible with the Diablo 3 Beta.
There is an easy fix this problem though, as many have found out that if you roll back your drivers to the Catalyst 12.2 release you will no longer see that error. To do this just follow this simple guide form Overclock, and use the drivers posted below. Make sure that you click the one that corresponds to your system.
Vista/Win7 64bit
Vista/Win7 32bit
XP 64bit
XP 32bit

7 days and 20 hours until i can play

For the European region, the game servers will go live at 00:01 CEST on May 15

[HellsJester]

Is anyone else having a problem installing the game?
I have pre-purchased it and downloaded the client and then when i click to install it i see the TOS agreement and hit agree and get a error.

You cant install the game till the servers go live. Your able to download the 7.6 GB files now so you don't have to wait on release day to download, but currently everyone shouldn't be able to install.

But on a different topic we should get a list of battletag names that want to play with eachother on what mode..

[HellsJester]

Thank you.
I thought i was having a problem.
Anyone know the exact time servers go up? Midnight?

[MjW]

My gf is still refusing to order the game in wait for a console version. I'm curious to see how long can she last. lol

The console versions most likely wont be ready until the first expansion is out and the console versions will probably just ship with both the game and expansion.
Just a educated guess but it sounds like it makes sense to me lol.

[Beast of Bourbon]

The console versions will most likely take 1 year or even longer.
I can't wait that long... i'll pre-order from amazon.uk soon...

I wonder if i'll be able to get a gameguide this week, i'll check the stores today.

[BoyBettaKnow]

Can someone explain to me what kind of game this is? Started playing MMO's recently (SW:ToR - fun but the game is dead, not going to subscribe) and waiting for GW2 to release. What kind of game is Diablo and where, If anywhere, does it got in between other RPG's?

Thanks all

Diablo is defined as a RPG I believe.

I wouldn't say SW:ToR is dead, it's still carrying more than 1 million subscribers. However, they probably need to streamline (i.e. reduce) their server count to get people together more - then ramp up as necessary. Currently, it's maybe spread a little thin.

On a related note, I'm hearing lots of good things about Tera - especially the combat.

[BoyBettaKnow]

Ah ok, so it's more single player orientated than MMO? Been watching a few videos on YouTube but I can't seem to get it.

Yeah I think they way over estimated how many players ToR would actually have. The server I'm on, Atho City, is rarely busy it's quite rare I see someone else running around in the same area as me (unless I'm on the fleet).

It's a good game but it seems like Bioware built a good single player game within a MMO setting with no one sticking. They lost 400k subs since January and people still have months left from when they bought the game. The numbers of active players once GW2 has been released will be interesting.

I've heard about this Terra game. A few of my friends play it, that's the game where you actually have to aim isn't it?

Its an Action RPG (ARPG), basiclly its like an RPG game (leveling, loot, quests), but the combat system is more fast paced then the typical RPG.

Here is a Barbarian gameplay video:

Every character is the same depending on level, skill points don't exist. You level and you can use a skill and change it whenever you want meaning if you make a build it'll be copied endlessly within seconds as opposed to working for it
