So, being a huge Diablo gamer. (Along with CoD.) I finally managed to score 2x copies of the collectors edition (one for me, one for a friend). Best place to check is zoolert.com since they update frequently vendors that have pre-orders available.
Walmart has been up for the past 12 hours or so with preorders. Only downside is you may have to wait until 5/21 to get your copy in the mail. (No biggie for me, I've been THIS patient!) Just a headsup for anyone still looking for a D3:CE copy.
Secondly I still run D2 occasionally and have alot of highend chars on USEAST Non-ladder.
96 Hammerdin "Genesis_Azu" (500%+ MF, 11K hammers, also fully setup to auto rush all main quests for all difficulties
)
95 (Almost 96) Hammerdin "Betrayed_Trust" (470%+ MF, 10-11K hammers)
93 Hammerdin "OptimusCrime"
91 Smiterdin "Genesis_A" (Grief & Eth Exile)
91 Frenzy Barb "Azurith" (EBOTDZ & EDEATHZ, my char for Ubering.)
88 Light Sorc "AzureSkyy" (Great for manual rushing norm/nm modes.)
88 Enchanter "VonFingerBang" (Extreme level chant @49 & 46 for warmth/firemastery synergies, allows level 1 chars to do 5K+ damage and makes them capable of soloing up to ancients if careful. Very fast leveling for starting characters.)
I have a metric shit ton of 80+ chars and about 24 mules full of mid-high gears. :-/
As for D3, I'll probably be rolling with a Monk (decent damage & healing skills) or a barb (tanking).
My rig:
AMD Hexcore 1055T Thuban @2.8Ghz (Didn't feel the need to OC.) watercooled obviously
16GB DDR3 1333Mhz Ram
Multi-Terabyte drives (5.5TB Raid5 WHS2011 server for backup)
Bluray Burner optical drive
AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB video (Old, but I haven't upgraded in over a year.. and that was the proc/mobo & memory.)
Dual Gigabit NICs
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
32" 1080P TV
Rig 2
(My friend doesn't have a pc capable, so I'm repurposing one of my older desktops. Used to be my HTPC, but I removed the HDD & infiiTV4 cablecard tuner.)
AMD Phenom II 940 Black Edition @ 3Ghz (Overclocks to 3.392Ghz)
2GB DDR2 667Mhz Ram (I have more if needed.)
80GB WD "Raptor" HDD
AMD Radeon HD 5770 1GB video (I was using the 5770 for crossfire but I doubt the integrated 3300/4250 graphics will cut it.)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Gigabit NIC
I also have a "compact" gaming rig I built as a backup.
AMD Callisto 555 @ 4.015Ghz (From stock 3.2Ghz!)
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz SODIMMs
80GB & 2TB HDDs
I haven't added a graphics card (I can always pull from one of my other systems) or installed an OS to it yet. But I did have it working on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 as well.)
