nautical_j Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yup....need constant server access.....Got kicked out of the game today morning because my router restarted. I hope it is like Demon's Souls / Dark Souls, where your progress is saved... Cos even in the Souls franchise, if you playing online and the internet goes off then you are kicked out of the game, but the game is saved till THAT very moment. I hope this is the case with Diablo 3 as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbpoovannagamer Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 hahahaha :tongue: i knew launch day will have connection issues and bugs :devil: now i feel better that all u guys who got it earlier are suffering :devil: if u preordered on flipkart i suggest u complain about the delay to customer support i did that and they replied back saying they are sorry and they wil "try " their best to bring it sooner- if more people complain they might actually take action!!

nameless Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 There are checkpoints along the way. It starts from there, if you are disconnected. Anyway the game is awesome and I started as Demon Hunter and have not faced any issues so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saumil Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Always online is a bummer for Indian gamers majority of whom still rely on horribly unreliable ISPs like BSNL. Otherwise once this initial bull-run calms down after a couple weeks and B.net servers are able to dig their feet in, I suspect it should be a pretty seamless affair as long as your ISP is good. I guess in an ideal world where there was no piracy and noone edited character files to give themselves the very best gear, an always-on DRM wouldn't be necessary. But that's never gonna happen, so Diablo fans have to suck it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nautical_j Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 ^^Nothing against you mate... But way too many smileys.... Staying on the topic... Never knew that all the loot would be lost if we were disconnected... You sure about that? PS: The biggest flaw in Diablo 3 is staying forever online.. Nothing will beat this..

Diablo 3 would've sold more than those in a week....Blizzard would be looking at sales on a much bigger scale....and at the end of the day, lets face it, its blizzard....they can make whatever rules they want, and fans will still buy their games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulovski Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Game's awesome. There is a fair bit of hand-holding in the beginning. It's been 12 years after all. Even with a very high ping (600ms+) the game is surprisingly playable. Most of the time I had pings in the 300ms range, and played absolutely fine. The game is still as fun as before. The fun gets multiplied exponentially when you play co-op. The skill progression is super fast. The biggest reason D3 will never be offline is because of the Auction House. Since there is real money involved, Blizzard has to be absolutely sure that there is no chance of duplication. battle.net id - bulovski #1100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Never thought we would talk about pings in a Single player game. Blizzard thanks you all for your support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splucky Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 completed act 1 this game is epic !!! :wOOtjumpy: trying to play as slow as possible , enjoying every second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splucky Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Agreed. I mean how hard would it be to create the online auction house to be a component that's only accessible when you're solely online? Sure the experience may be butter smooth and the save system lenient, but let's face it, this isn't a game, you don't own it, you can't use it as you see fit, you're Blizzard's bitch. This will have repercussions in the long term. well said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Playing on Normal Difficulty (as Demon Hunter) and the game seems easy so far. Even the first Big Boss (Skeleton King) was easy. Anyhoo, will continue in Normal and bump up the difficulty in second play through. Leveling Up BlackSmith skill sucks though. (Uses up too much Gold) Currently am at level 11 and not tried Co-op so far. Battle.net ID - Arvad#1507 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
