Ah man been a while since I've read these forums (sorry if offending but the new theme was just so f'king terrible).
Anyways I asked the team about competitive stuff like ladders etc. and they're in as well!
You could try the Razer Onza?
I was going to buy that for my Xbox - it's wired so it works on PC as well. But I read they don't really last... Sort of like the cheaper MadCatz fightsticks, most of them went to the repairs after a few days. The D-pad should be a lot better in it.
Edit...
New skill and rune system explained: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4475014/Skill_and_Rune_Changes-2_15_2012
I actually like the change, good job Blizzard! And now give me a damn beta key! >.<
Edit: I had no idea how much they changed the followers in D3. They actually seem pretty awesome now!
Though I don't make games I make software for living and even then developing for PC is hellish. Hell it's even hellish when developing for a damn mobile phone. You have to buy a shit ton of hardware, test everything really well and still shit breaks down or performs sub-optimally. Just because...
You have to be really unlucky to actually break anything. I once overclocked my CPU about as high as I could and didn't have the CPU fan on, the sink was so hot you couldn't even touch it. Still nothing broke.
Yeah, this truly is an awesome game! The skiing reminds me of the good old AQ2, flying across TJT, those we're the days I tell you *shakes a stick*
What I find great is the way Hi-Rez listens to the community. While playing people constantly spam "****ing hirez!!oneoneeleven" and to be honest I...
Actually you don't need PCI-E 3.0, PCI-E standard is backwards compatible, so a 3.0 card works all the way back to 1.0. Performance gains from 2.0 -> 3.0 are marginal.
You have almost the same setup as I do! /highfive
And no need to be afraid of overclocking. With this setup, it's piss easy. You can OC the GPU as high as the Catalyst allows, temps won't rise at all, the fan will just spin like 20% faster. And with the Asus mobos you can use that auto-OC...
As again, no release date given. They're giving targets, not release dates, which just means it might come Q2. With every other date they've said the same, they're targeting XXQX.
For me the Diablo franchise has always been about beating the game as fast as possible, never exploring anything but the needed quests. Then just rushing to the end boss and kill it quickly - continue rushing the last boss to infinity.
I wouldn't say anything about the items since it's just a...
I ran the test with the new setup and got:
FPS: 31.4
Scores: 791
Min FPS: 8.6
Max FPS: 69.7
With everything maxed, 8*aa and 16*af.
Got to try BF3 now. After that I'll probably try overclocking a bit.
Edit: Just tried BF3, everything on ultra, 4xAA, 16xAF and it runs so damn smooth... *drool*...
Blizzard confirmed at the conference call that it will not ship any products in Q1. They haven't even clarified if Q2 is the target.
My guess is Q4 but wouldn't be surprised to see it slip to next year. I almost feel like I should boycott this game and not buy it, though I'd be pretty much...
While waiting for my new computer to arrive I bought Diablo 2 + LoD and started playing them. I'm now at around level 90 - farming in hell. During the play-through(s) I really started to like the changes made in Diablo 3. Inventory tetris for example, it's just beyond stupid. Stamina - sure...
Every day! Damn fun game. I just wish there were more maps, and a better friend list. I even bought a booster just to support the devs, didn't want to buy the beta pack, I want to unlock my classes by just playing.
