what now ? Diablo 3 need constant internet connection ? now im sad

errrr ... now a days internet connection shouldn't be a problem at all lo ?

I'll have problem playing this game if I am to required to be connected online all the time, don't want it anymore. Going for elder scroll 5 instead.

internet connection isn't a problem, CONSTANT internet connection is a problem....

I still don't see this as a problem for like 5 hours, maximum gaming per day?
Heck even during 1515 dialup, the connection still constant for > 5 hours. What's streamyx/unifi then?

If your internet is not constantly connected and you're not calling TM to fix it, then I see you have no problem paying them in full every month. Why D3?

But what if you line has a short mess up and it drops for a few seconds, byebye current Diablo3 game, you were about to kill the boss? Sucks to be you

People advocating for constant connection are living in world full of optical lines or living on the servers themselves.

If you ever played a MMO from Msia, you would know how shitty it can be some days and getting kicked out of the game every few minutes for hours.

Diablo 3 servers won't be located in KL lar...

why ah?

blizzard's singapore servers (IAHGames) sarks big time btw.

Sadly, I played quite a lot of MMO, not to mention the very first MMO in Malaysia when I was using dialup 1515. (No, Not RO) Tbh, I have a bloody good time with high internet bill, LOL. Not to mentioned some so-called blizzard, diablo fan said they are, but i don't think so. 90% here who said they are diablo fan or they have played diablo, and diablo 2, they are just pirates.

I bet many have played MMO way before streamyx was introduced.

So what if you get disconnected during the game? It's just a game. Taking it too serious makes you no better than any ah beng's DOTARDs.

Oh yar, "you take game too seriously" is best argument ever against asking for proper service. Next time your teh tarik has a cockroach in it can always say "You take teh tarik too seriously, make you look like ah beng old uncles who always talk about good old days"

I played the hell out of Diablo2 and its xpac, both on single player and on Bnet with friends (oh yar, no more LAN too, GREAT!) and I just don't see me buying Diablo 3 right now which I was planning to until recently.

I just feel Blizz has been loosing their mentality about providing great user experience since SC2. It wouldnt have been difficult to provide a SP mode like Diablo 2, any character created for SP can never be brought online etc.

And let's not get started on the stupidity of Bnet being region locked.
Want to play with people in US or EU? Too bad! But please feel free to buy 3 versions of our game and pay us to transfer your characters between one servers to another, thanks!

People has been complaining about this a lot.

But do we know how it actually gonna work? Will the game stops you from continuing your boss fight when you get disconnected? Or will it let you continue your game like SC2 and Dragon Age?

Online single player... isn't that sort of an oxymoron? Truly I disappointed with D3. Idk about auction house, Idk about battlenet because I dun have a constant internet thanks to tmnut. If constant internet is for legitimate purpose, it is a very restard way, he changing it to MMO. Blizz will lose significant customer. I think the biggest point of forcing us for constant internet is for money sucking purpose. Example, auction house is a good and infinite place for blizz to suck money. Im sure they have a backoffice allow simply create godly gear and post into auction for real money. And DLC1,2,3,4,5...n. No 1 force u purchase DLC but you are forbidden to entering the places others can.

Another money dominate game product.

we wait, we see and we dow...err....i mean buy! or no buy!
hehehe...just wait la. why debate among ourselves here.

If you are playing with others I don't see the whole game being stopped while you "maybe" reconnect.

And for the other players I don't think it would be a good idea either...

Most probably going to be just you disappearing and that's it

No, what happened is that your hdd will start auto-format themself. LOL

we debate bcos game no out yet.
once game out then no more debate bcos everyone busy grinding for loot to sell in auction house.

And then there will be whiners who whine
"WTF!! I just looted Ultimato Gold Brown colour word Equipment!!! XOXOXOXOXO and I DC-ed"

or

"Fxck this shit, I killed the boss and YOU LOOT all the items."

Rofl.

How many people here actually own original copy of Diablo 2?

Whats the point of having Diablo 3 to be online, even on single player... Removing LAN and make it online tactic seems working to them cause, people willingly to pay for original, and fight against pirated. But then too much business thoughts will lose game play enjoyment.

I remember last time Starcraft 1, Diablo 2 or even warcraft 3 released, it impacted the entire world. But the StarCraft 2. It doesn't give much influences to it. And blizzard is happy because sales are up like sky rocket. Thus they release the online version again and asking you all to purchase and slowly suck money out from you.

They are losing fans even though their sales are good. This is business mind. Who cares about whether you're having fun or not. Money first, game enjoyment second.
