And we're back to error 37, 8 hour service intervals and an acution house that works every now and then. Two weeks have passed, its time things start running smoothly, Blizzard, especially since you're forcing us to be online at all times to even play single player games.

You know, the ironic thing about people continuing to complain about this is I bought the game on day 2, and have had problems two times.  One was a day or two after I bought it, they did an update and they were offline for about an hour.  The second time was last night.  2 times.  Yet people have been complaining about this more than they complained about the wretched league of legends servers that used to be down what seemed like just about every single night.

As for the single player, was a majority of the time people played (even single player games) not online as well, due to better items dropping?

Well, it was ladder vs non-ladder vs offline for Diablo 2.  Offline and non-ladder were about the same I think, but ladder had the unique drops, rune words, etc.

Is anyone else disappointed when facing the story bosses at higher difficulty levels?  I really hoping they would have new abilities, powers, and the like to basically make each fight something new and exciting.

Well gotta say that i'm surprised by the huge difficulty leap that Inferno has. Not so much in Act I, as it's barely above Act IV Hell difficulty, but the difficulty leap between Act I and Act II is pretty darn big.

I breezed with my current build through act I and I can't even touch any elite/champion mob on Act II, and even normal mobs destroy me XD.

Same here, I had a big mouth up until the first Fast, Fire Chain, Frozen, Reflect Damage, Extra Health boss group showed up... The Elites are truly hard on Inferno but regular mobs are no challenge at all.

PS: I entered Inferno with my Barbarian as well! 30 hours gametime for three difficulties, which also includes a couple of hours of gold and XP farming so its not too shabby! Diablo was really, really easy once I upped my damage, he's not even immune to stun and my Whirlwind attack made minced meat out of him in no time.

I really have to pick the pace with my WD, but I'm torn between finishing Hell with him or farming gear for Act II Inferno for my DH. Now that I got the hang of the Butcher, I can farm him easily on Inferno, and if you do Cursed Hold + Butcher runs, you get some pretty decent loot. 

I heard that Diablo is pretty easy for Barbs, mostly because of Permastun.

Finally started Inferno.
Act I is easy, I have to advance and see how Act 2 is ( just killed Skeleton King).

I finished Act II Inferno with the Demon Hunter today, I have to say that its a lot easier to play than the Barbarian, maybe I'm going to have to go one-handed and shield and up my armor and resistance heavily.

I found a weapon for my Barbarian though, over 1100 DPS plus Holy Damage and Attack Speed! Woot!

Edit; servers down again... and the auction house disabled for the second time in two days. This is beyond ridiculous!

Did you have a hard time on Act II or did you upped your gear? I'm currently at 42K DPS and still having a pretty hard time with elites. 

Also, I've started crafting a couple of the Exalted equip. Got an amazing 192 Str and 76 Vit shoulders if you're interested . 

I'm sorry, I meant finished Act I and started Act II!

I have around 43K DPS and 40K HP but my big weakness is resistance and DR, it seems. I have about 80 Secret Tomes that I'm considering using for more levels for my artisans. Have you upgraded your gem crafter any more? How much better do the gems get? I'm thinking of holding off on the leveling of artisans until the patch hits, its going to be cheaper and require less Pages/Tomes.

Hmm, those shoulders sound like they'd go nicely with my Barb... How much do you want for them?
