Players will now receive full experience and gold rewards for completing quests for the first time in Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno difficulties

i read someone said D3 needs skills...i shouted like lil jon: What?!

My Sarkoth farming skill is almost to the point of legendary unfortunately, D3 developers decide to tinker with it though .

I have mindf**k to comprehend such statement.
My eyes!!!!!!

Player like Kripparrian does have skills.
Player like Dino does have skills too (the Father of WW Tornado Barb?).

But assuming every average Joe to have the similar skills is like What!

We will be performing scheduled maintenance for Diablo III starting tomorrow (8/21) at 3:00 a.m. PDT in order to deploy patch 1.0.4. We anticipate that maintenance will conclude and that all services will be available by approximately 1:00 p.m. PDT. Patch notes are available below.

Important: Please note that you will not be prompted to download patch 1.0.4 until the patch is live in your home region. If you are logging in from a European or Asian client, you will need to wait for this patch to release in that region before it can be installed. Additionally, if your home region is the Americas, you will be unable to log into Europe or Asia using Global Play after patch 1.0.4 is live until those regions have also patched.

For reference, here are the scheduled maintenance times for each region:

The Americas: 3:00 a.m. PDT to 1:00 p.m. PDT (8/21)
Europe: 8:00 p.m. PDT (8/21) to 6:00 a.m. PDT (8/22)
Asia: 11:00 a.m. PDT to 11:00 p.m. PDT (8/22)

That means...for those who are from Asia, no matter if we use the American server, we will only be able to go online around 11:00 p.m. PDT (8/22). That's 1:00pm August 23rd for us Malaysians... Correct me if I'm wrong.

no, u've got it all wrong   

heres P.D.T http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbrevi...nes/na/pdt.html
1pm there, over here in Msia would be 4am

Those night owls can camp and wait for the open beta of D3 

EDIT , read ur message again, i see what ur talking about.

The servers mentioned there are the servers you chose to play in .

Asia / America / Europe.

if your character is in America, u can play at 4am

If it's in Asia.. a different time then

Let's hope I'm wrong...but for those that bought SEA version of Diablo 3, our home region is Asia. Even if we are logged into American server, we would need to wait for the Asian server to be updated before we can receive the update.

I have been experiencing this for all the previous patches although I am logged into American server, and has no characters in the Asian server. I bought my Diablo 3 from Gamer's Hideout, Tropicana Mall.
