Why don't they just let us choose the damn colour?  This buying it from certain retailers is beyond stupid.

The dye kits are a gimmick. The way it works is, you can rightclick on any piece of armor and bring up a little paintdrop, which allows you to paint that color scheme across your entire character so you don't look like a mismatched clown. Also guilds can choose their color schemes, which are available to all guildmembers. One of the ways that unique items are made unique is their colorschemes, too.

Pre ordered from gogamer.com.  Had my beta key within 30 minutes.  No problems with account set up, now just waiting in line for client.

Yes, but is it fun?

Nostalgia alone of Diablo on TEN is most likely enough to keep me going long enough to go for the lifetime sub.

I wonder if you could somehow ebay the lifetime account if you decide you don't want to play anymore, it would be pretty useful to anyone who does want to keep playing.

That dye stuff is all public knowledge, "is it fun" is under NDA. Not sure why, since every preorder is getting in beta over the next couple of days, but it is.

Ebaying the account might be against the rules but sure, I don't see why not. It's just a login and password after all.

So could we have just made the same color scheme as the preorder dyes?

Thats the kind of specific information covered by NDA. Plus I haven't actually played yet, I'm still at work.

So, generally, the longer the NDA is up the less faith I have that the game is any good.  No one hides, "OMFG AWESOME!!!" any longer than absolutely necessary.

I just got access to download the client so it seems like the turn around is about 2-3 days to get your key and then your client.

Damnit. I hate you all.

I preordered, got my key, entered it. And no account activation yet. I hope they send out more invites today. I really wanted to play this over the weekend.

Well tonight I'll see if my beta account is still active after canceling my pre-order. I'm guessing it will be since the gamestop people seem to be out of the loop once you get your code.

I need to read that NDA again and see if I'm even allowed to say anything or if anything we're hinting at here is a no-no (it can't be that draconian can it?).

Let's apply some faulty logic FTW.  If you don't have a preorder then that means you can't possibly be in the beta, ipso facto you aren't bound by an NDA evil.

So this game's good?  Cause I gotta tell ya, after watching a couple of gameplay videos, my interest went from 11 to 3.
It just looked like more of the same.

Has anyone in the thread WHO HAS PLAYED disagreed with me?

And it's not my fault when I talk something up and then someone goes out of their comfort zone to play it and doesn't like it. Next time someone who plays Madden listens to my advice on a game like Disgaea, I'm just going to remind them that they're happy with a fucking buggy football simulator.

lol, i'm not sure logic is supposed to work that way =p

Relax bru, i'm not ragging on you or the game (since, you know, i've not actually played it or anything) - i would simply like to see some more evidence as to it's worth.

What's the benefit of a lifetime subscription? I mean, why pay all up front? Who's to say something better won't come along a year from now?
