Uh what

You are still choosing the skills you want to use and how you want to use them. Yeah, just like before, new skills are available as you level up (just like D2)
There are many, many more possible skill combinations now, especially with runes.
You can assign skills to mousebuttons, not sure what you're talking about here.

Do you have elective mode turned off or something? Turn it on, it's an option in gameplay

I did have it off, but I still can't get it to work the way I want it to. For instance, say I want Hungering Arrow on LMB and Entangling Shot on RMB; can I do that?

I know there's a key binding thing somewhere, but I'm not sure what keys you can change. Seeing as I can't log in currently, I can't help anymore then telling you I know there's key bindings in there that can be changed...

Oh, hey, that's how you do it. Huh. Yeah, I can work with this, I guess.

And it wasn't a keybinding. I just tried to do it the wrong way (drag-and-drop skills to their box in the skill bar instead of rightclicking the skillbar and setting the skill that way).

Been playing a wizard! Soooo much fun, and it's mostly just been me and one friend. I love not having to pick up gold, or carry TP/ID tomes, and the fact that not all the gear is like 5 different sizes. And the recipes. And the spells. And being able to retalent.

Yeah pretty much everything.

Fluffy#1714 is my gamertag.

So I put my computer together today (Just finished I believe...) and sadly the gamestop I went to was sold out of D3...

I'm playing solo for the most part of the storyline - specifically because of the followers. Otherwise the group play has been tremendously fun so far too. But if anyone wants an extra hand then I'm happy to jump back in the storyline as well :)

Example of the wonderful follower interactions (warning: slightly spoilery, it just shows the lines they say to each other)

Just installed and started playing :D

If anyone wants to party up with a lowbie, add me!

... Is anyone else having problems with achievements? I'm on act two, but for some reason the skeleton king and butcher achievements didn't trigger on my first run-through. So I did those two again, and noticed I actually got the achievements, left the game and... the achievements vanished.

It's a known bug, they're trying to fix it!

You guys are making this so hard for me. :(

It sounds awesome.

Agreed. I just have to keep reminding myself how often I lose internet when playing Skyrim.

Blah, finally got a hold of D3 and am up to the graveyard when the server decided to start running slower than frozen molasses and now it won't go past authenticating. Guess I'm done for the night.

They have a lot of issues with server right now, and especially with FPS issues on Macbooks. So maybe it's good you've got a wait, then you can play unencumbered!

I had a big lag spike as well... Had a 3s latency. I'm still playing though (kinda, taking a short break while standing in town); I'm too afraid to log out now, in case I can't log back in.

I managed to finish the game on normal difficulty. This is an odd sensation...since I sort of sucked at finishing Diablo 2. I now know the tactic to use, and it's called kite kite kite kite.

So I got it, Installing now. Probably will play a bit of single player before I get co-op with anyone unless new chars are made for that... and my tag is: Ayisdra#1931

It's the same characters for everything; you basically always play MP, but perhaps in an MP world all of your own.

Achievements are kinda buggy, yup! I've gotten some multiple times, but I noticed after getting my level 30 achievement, I was missing my level 10 for example.

I'm missing the one you get after upgrading the blacksmith for the first time... which, of course, is impossible to get again. I hope they add some sanitychecks when they fix this bug :(

I hope they give something to the players for all the mess-ups... even just a little token, like a rare achievement or something :)

I love this new exploding zombie dogs build for my witch doctor. Too bad it causes my FPS to plummet whenever I use it. Sigh. *looks at Alienware laptops*
