so you getting disconnects very often? how much latency are you getting at the moment, I saw my friend playing D3 beta on my account and he was getting below 200ms, since you have a US account and you playing on EU have you actually tried playing on US servers is the situation is as same as playing on EU servers?
I talked about this with a friend of mine as well and his reply was exactly the same that during Beta it was around 200ms. It isnt the case here, Exodus was also playing it yesterday and there was lag at his end as well. Also players from europe were having around 200ms so imagine us lol. Moreover, there is delay as well. Like there was a .5sec delay when casting a spell which was annoying me a little. But all of this is temporary, as soon as the servers are optimized everything will be sorted out.
You asked about whether its because I bought EU and hooked it up on a US battle.net account? Well the answer is no because you have the option in-game or even in the game menu to choose your game server even when playing the game. I tried it on US(it was the worst), EU and Asia and the problem was similar. So far EU seems the best choice considering PTCL's Asia routing is messed up.
Blizzard is already addressing the issue
Diablo III Launch Update

We’d like to extend a very sincere thank you to everyone who joined the global Diablo III launch celebrations this week, as well as to everyone who was ready to jump into Sanctuary the moment the game went live.
To that end, we’d also like to say that we’ve been humbled by your enthusiasm -- and we sincerely regret that your crusade to bring down the Lord of Terror was thwarted not by mobs of demons, but by mortal infrastructure. As many of you are aware, technical issues occurring within hours after the game's launch led to players experiencing error messages and difficulty logging in. These issues cropped up again last night for the Americas and Europe servers. Despite very aggressive projections, our preparations for the launch of the game did not go far enough.
We’ve been monitoring the game 24/7 and have applied several optimizations to help our systems better weather the global rush. As of late last night, specifically 11:50 PM PDT on May 15, all systems have been online and running relatively smoothly. We’re continuing to monitor performance globally and will be taking further measures as needed to ensure a positive experience for everyone. This includes some maintenance to implement additional improvements for each region.
In order to make sure everything is continuing to run as it should, we’ve decided to move out our target launch for the real-money auction house beyond our original estimated date of May 22. We’ll post further updates on that in the near future.
Aside from the tremendous number of players simultaneously logging in to the game, one of the launch-day service issues was linked to the achievement system. Some players began to notice early on that achievements were either not being earned properly, or not being saved between multiple logins. We’re investigating this issue and will provide a specific update as soon as possible.
We greatly appreciate everyone’s support, and we want to sincerely apologize for the difficulties many of you encountered on day one. Please visit the Battle.net Support site or Support forums for the latest service-related updates or for help in troubleshooting any technical issues you may be having downloading, installing, or while playing the game.
Thank you again for your patience while we reinforce the gates of Sanctuary and further strengthen it for your onslaught.
Respectfully,
Blizzard Entertainment
having a US battle.net and an EU version of D3 will have any adverse effect? :/
I dont think so that is the case. I would like to try the game at an odd time that is when I know most Europeans are sleeping to see whether its because of server load.
Will someone give some impressions of the game ? Is it worth the Hype? Did it turn out to be another Blizzard EPIC?
Well I didnt wanted to be the bad guy explaining how good the game is and what are you guys missing considering your game is still on its way. I'll just go through some of the good features and details.
- fluid and smooth game play
- Voice acting is superb. Each scroll you pick and you'll see a small avatar on the bottom right narrating the story in it. In short, you play while also hear what he has to say.
- Cut scenes here and there which makes you more involved
- Skills are handled nicely.
- Environments are MIND BLOWING
- No more identify scrolls == more bag space and less visits to town
- No more TP scrolls == more space
^ Yes playing on inferno is totally impossible thats what the team at blizzard have said
Btw the more difficult level we play the higher DPS weapons we loot is that right ?
and if NO then whats the use of replaying the game on difficult level though the character level will be the same :S
and @
hasanJ getting to level 60 wont be easy for us , you know why ?
LOLOADSHEDDING !!!
Yes, higher difficulties have higher tier weapons. Moreover, the legendary and set pieces are better on those levels as well. Also you will earn more Euros for those items
well thats obvious like anyother RPG game, the more you proceed with the level and game progress the better gear/weapons you get ....
Swords - Game Guide - Diablo III for your refference.
