Oh my gosh Diablo III is brilliant and awful at the same time. Beautiful graphics and stays with the usual style of play but feck me does it lag. I was entering a fight and my character just hung there and the next thing I knew it was moving again and it was getting its ass kicked by all the undead characters that had surrounded it!
It appears that I am not alone. When I googled "Diablo III lag" I was presented with over 2 million results. What the heck is Blizzard doing? I know you cannot possibly carry out the type of load testing that the servers will need to see if they will stand up to the numbers that will be accessing it when the software goes live but this is pretty appalling. They own WoW so they should know the kind of traffic and hardware/software that is required.
Why don't they allow people to have the option of playing solo without an internet connection and this would not be such a big bloody issue. I hate having to have a connection to the net as a requirement to play this game but it's such a brilliant game and I've been waiting so long to play it again. *sigh*
