So, have any one been playing with their BANNER?
Also, had my first network issue, lost connection.

Given the incorporation of a real-money market that HAS to be that way. EVERY game you play of D3 they need to be able to update what your PC will be able to come across in terms of loot in the game and monitor that market.
Demon Hunter at the desert, so thought time it time to start a new character, went with wizard. It has been rough but getting after 9th level.

- Turning on Elective Mode allows you to set multiple skills from the same category on your toolbar. It also allows you to move skills wherever you want on the bar. To use Elective Mode go to Options > gameplay > and it’s in the lower right.

Ok my experiences. Europe server is down way too often. Like last sunday most of the day. Annoying. Also few random DC:s which is annoying because it zeroes the whole area map and if you were just about to finnish like me last time. Aargh. Other tecnical problems too. Sometimes way too much lag and deaths because of it. That's when repair costs annoy me.
Diablo 2 battlenet worked better for those 6 years I played the game and it's various ladders.
I finished game normal once and then realized melee character (barbarian) really sucks in at harder difficulties some mobs are annoying enough in normal. Monk is better because it has some stun-immunity talents. But now playing couple of ranged characters and it's easy-mode compared.
Plus I noticed using two-handed weapon in melee is suicide.
I have played with banner now. Works, too bad it's same for all the characters.
If you like achi-system theirs don't always stuck. Like it didn't remember me killing 2 bosses that are always on your way. It coudn't have been DC since that kicks me out of the game too.
Also having that many gold-sinks like for bag space all your characters share is bit too grindy to me. Also loot-drops are more random that Diablo 2, Magic find works differently it just helps to find magical items, nothing to do with quality. And normal seems to pretty much ignore it. Working as indended, dunno?
Also I ended up with a lot worse gear (low lv) for nightmare than diablo 2. Seems normal doesn't drop over 25 items and I am mostly using some lv 11-19 rares. So no need to grind normal. Plus special mobs are more likely to drop good loot than bosses or rather chance goes down when you have killed them once.
It feels more like Dragon Age than Diablo. Lootwise too, I get lot of crap that I don't ever use (well first time around I was still thinking what stats are good). I miss low level sets. And I miss real legendaries. Plotwise and how characters speak it's dragonagish. It lacks certain dark serious feeling of diablo series. It plays like more general teeny action rpg. I didn't expect it to hold that true to it's origins. It's 12 years ago and activision was involved making it.
It's neat game, I am lot less interested playing it in highter difficulties than diablo 2. And thus play much less. And their server problems are really killing it. It should have been like diablo 2 with closed battlenet and separate off-line play. And why I can't name my character Zelda it's my damn e-mail name and not a curse-word. Stupid, and no I didn't get it from some nintendo game.
Given some time it's probably working better serverwise and I hope they fix itemization. Gem-crafting is waste of time. Since you get getter gems from gold-ah now than you are forced on-line anyhow. And they cost much less, and are better versions you could ever make during normal play but are normal drops higher difficulty levels. Oh yes you probably want jc for unsocketing. Blacksmith is more useful but too expensive. You are better off with well-fare sales in ah (those that only double/triple money they could have gotten from vendor).
Weapon dmg is much more important than it was diablo 2. Actually if you forget you ever played diablo 2 it's much better game. Well, when their servers aren't down/laggy as hell.

Wow I just beat the game on normal last night. (slow I know but I've been fiddling around with lots of characters) I must say that D3 is a fun game, aside from nor playing the first day or so, and its also a pretty game. Unfortunately this does not feel like a game that should have taken 10 years to make. I enjoy the new skill system as it allows me to tinker with different skill sets. Its too bad that certain skills are hands down better choices than others.
Anyway despite the complaining I like this game I just wanted to like it a whole lot more.

Dude, I haven't even completed the first act with one character, much less fiddled with lots of them. So, no, not slow at all.

Thank you! That's been driving me crazy!
I'd give you XP, but apparently you're one of the last one I gave 'em to so it told me to spread it around. I'll owe you one.

And again game is down. In eu-server. Will this ever end? Bad idea to make it on-line game only. 
My barbarian has killed every monster in normal and nightmare. Good luck. Slow killing though very slow. Use shield and single hand weapon. Use revenge. Use stun abiilities. Don't run too far away and don't stay too close of bosses than froze. The one in hell has charge that one shots you if you run too far away to avoid stunned by frozen. Use all abilites that heal you when you do damage. And potions. Yeh barbarian isn't like in diablo 2 used to play two with different build in lv 99. Nowdays it's sad.
Ah and if you had really bad luck with weapon drops get something rare with cheap price from gold AH. If game forces us to be on-line all the time better use some those things too, because at least in my case dc srcrws me sometimes, and lag all the time and it's really bad when you are in middle of melee, frozen and lag spike hits, mobs don't slow a bit.
My wizard is so much faster in killing business and so is demon hunter. Still I feel sentimental about barbarians but seems they are equal bad chars than warrior in wow.
And I would be leveling my wizard but like every day server is down again. And today was a patch day. Ah problems again, oh why oh why they have to link it to same server that handles characters and login stuff. Idle people always fidle around ah so this is bad combination.
