my friend say D3 everywhere no stock (lowyat plaza, malls, PC shops etc - some even selling at RM280)... shocking.gif

why is this happening?? they didnt expect such good response is it? didn't print enough copies of the game? News of the game being sold out is being published worldwide in Google (exception America) - the game just couldnt cope with the huge demand for it!! icon_question.gif

got alternative of getting softcopy CD key from Blizzard la but costs SGD90 (around RM250 after conversion).. dont feel it's worth it just for a key. sweat.gif

hmm but if got box wait after 10 years can sell mah (okok maybe after 50-100 years)... pass down to your grandkids or grand grandkids ke.... Like those stories where ppl make quick bucks selling junk in Pawn Stars and The Pickers (those who've watched it in History channel will know) biggrin.gif

I personally have the box set preordered from PBBSELLER earlier... the feel of the box itself is AWESOME... is like turn-on each time you see it lying there blush.gif

the contents of the box is not bad... i actually kind regret I didnt get the CE instead... HUGE box that one so much more content... thumbup.gif

Not exactly sold out, there's still some shop selling, but at higher price.

Sold out is just exaggeration.

Also, not many reseller here take stocks, because they do not have the ability to keep stocks.

from mid valley, 1U, pyramid etc.. all gg-ed.

last time starcraft 2 also the same la..blizzard games mah

I have SC2 but feel it is like not my type of game.. Strategy and so much micromanagement... by the time i finished the campaign that's it sien liaos.

And wadaffak they went split Terran, Zerg and Protoss campaigns to 3 discs... which explains why many ppl avoid buying it too... and YES CETAK ROMPAK copy for campaign easily available...

D3 so far even pirate bay guys also fail to crack it... tough luck pirates.... 20% of game hosted in Bliz servers u need to get pass that first tongue.gif

i think it's got something to do with a lot of people raging and dissing about the changes in diablo 3. you know what they say, bad publicity is still publicity.
*
there's 2 groups for D3 players now.. one that absolutely hates it.. and the other that praise and love Blizzard for it. A lot of changes in the game compared to D2 and D1.. e.g. potion with long cooldown, skills fixed to 6 slots, no more mana potions, auction house, no more collectible runes, no need to up stat points/up skills... unsure.gif

and of course the biggest element to it is the DRM.. online hosted and needs to be 100% connected at all times, no offline mode available. Damn daring for them to do this guess they anticipated if the game is polished enough ppl will still go ahead to play it.. (even upgrading their broadband and PC to the extremes).

Me i'm a supporter.. just dislike the fact the game is being sold out so quickly now.. the guys really didnt publish and distribute it enough worldwide.. oh and YES PLEASE HAVE LESS DOWNTIME/MAINTENANCE for NA region!! I do face some lags but guess that's becoz of using P1 for it... hoping to get a better net connection soon.. sleep.gif

Yeap I have met the 2 groups, but i feel for the hardcore gamers they will hate it after they finish the game
they will b**** about it cause they probably did some power-leveling/rush and never really went through
a proper gaming sessions. Some are getting lazy after rushing through all the sequences and are
just playing other characters. Some ppl i know finish the game in like 2-3 days.

For the normal average gamers like myself which dont have time to play so often, so far its great!
Take my own sweet time, once in a while go public game no rushing.. after all pay so much why rush?
Level 30 now.. slowing taking it pace by pace.. collecting and chatting with the d3 community.

Only problem my hand a bit jam from pressing the "Shift key" so often when im using wizzard.
Maybe i need to replace with those macro key keyboards instead.

As for the Error which ppl say i only get it like 2 times so far.. but its not often and it isnt that bad to
make me whine over it.
Overall its a good game and the sound effects are excellent. Good game worth it to buy digital copy anytime.

yeah dont get why some gosu gamers wanna rush so much till they even ignore all storylines, mini events, progress etc... rclxub.gif

I dont get a lot of time these days so I'm slowly going through it too... It is estimated to last me another 1-2 years at least before I get bore of it / jump to another better game.

Just take ur time and play it.. sometimes things done at a slower pace is much more enjoyable.
