Are you still buying if offline single player mode requires you to be constantly connected?

Sure.
It's not the best of options, clearly, but it IS Diablo 3.

I sure as hell won't be getting it full price (which knowing Blizzard means not for a long time), Torchlight 2 will keep me busy in the mean time.

I thought there was a thread about this out there already. However there is a simple solution to this that I figured out and the only downside really is the HDD space you will waste. Have one legal installation and one pirated one, and voila, you can now take D3 while you are abroad!

Honestly, I may still get it, but the required constant connection is certainly making me reconsider it, when it was a no-brainer before.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

during my 10 years of on and off diablo 2, i have NEVER and i mean NEVER touched single player, only the thought of it makes me feel sick, like i need to throw up. I dont know anyone who's ever played that game single player.
So this doesnt bother me, besides if it's anything like diablo 2, the multiplayer and singleplayer are the same, want to play alone? make a passworded game, problem solved.

Yeah, the meat of Diablo is in multiplayer. But why are they adding online only for single player? Just to piss off people for no reason?

Hopefully, this doesn't show up in the final game. I'd like to be able to hack my single player game to test various character builts and equipment setups, etc, before making an online toon.

this is so dumb pirates are going to hack it maybe before the games comes outs officially and the legit costumers are going to be limited with internet . ubisoft did the same thing with assassin creed and got hacked in 2 weeks the only losers were the costumers .
