1275400 2012-05-15 03:02:00 I don't like real money in games it taints the process so the well-off can just buy the equipment.
Also Diablo is for me first a great single player and then a online hack fest. Without the single player story I am not sure its worth while.

1275401 2012-05-15 03:37:00 It's totally playable as a single player story just like Diablo2, they just make you be online for the savegames etc and just because you can spend real money doesn't mean you have to. I've been playing the Beta for a while and have the game installed and ready to go for tonight. I intend to ignore any multi-player options for now and go solo.

I'm a bit sceptical about some aspects like yourself, but it won't stop me enjoying playing it through as a single player game to start with. How long it keeps me interested is another story.

I wasn't aware of that.
Playing single player in offline actually changes things considerably.
I might order it.

Desade you still have to have a battlenet account to play single player (IIRC) and an internet connection, which i am assuming you do ;)

1275406 2012-05-15 05:50:00 Yeah sorry if my post was misleading, you can't play offline but you can play solo through the story. The server still tracks your progress and saves it etc.
What will cause nerd rage is if the servers aren't reliable and stop people playing solo too often while they are down for maintenance or whatever. Blizzard should know how to do it though, WoW (love it or hate it) doesn't go down unexpectly very often at all.
