Amazon says "Shipping Soon" for the CE. They've always had a good track record of getting games to me on release day, so I will have it in my hot little hands and be playing after work tomorrow.

Is there any live launch stream?

When are we suppose to get the key to activate the game? I'm currently preloading the game and was wondering if anyone knows.

 

[lupi]

After you buy the game.

Is this because he launched the downloader?

I haven't tried to install yet because I'm having some weird USB issues on my desktop (reinstalled Windows on a new SSD) and the install files are stuck on a HDD that I just replaced, but I was going to just execute the installer directly.

I have energy drinks galore. No sleep for me tonight.

Edit:

Would you like a 1:58 CST wake up call? =)

Wait, so if you bought a CE, you could buy a digital copy to play at release hour and then when you got your CE, essentially trade keys and get the key for the non-CE copy back to give to someone else?

From what I have read this is how they will work it for annual pass people. I am unsure of how it works for everyone else.

 

[Adrenaline]

At least from what I recall, if you upgrade from the Year Pass Diablo III to the Collector's Edition, you get 3 free months of WoW.

I read it as 4, which would be more awesome.

 

[Adrenaline]

10 hours !!!

WoW raid ends at 12. That means two hours of boredom.

Here is what it says for those at work:

Magic Find
Magic Find has always been one of the most popular item attributes in Diablo. Magic find helps increase the probability that a higher quality item will drop from monsters.

Magic Find helps increase the likelihood of Magic, Rare, Set and Legendary items dropping.
The Magic Find attribute can be found on any items that are high enough to support the affixes.
Magic Find is based on a percentile increase.
You get 20% of the MF found on your follower (source)
When played cooperatively items drop separately for each player. This means each player sees their own loot and not loot that has dropped for the other people in the group. When picked up and dropped on the ground or traded the items obviously become visible to the other players as well.
When playing in a group, the total Magic Find of the group will be divided equally amongst each player. Here is an example given by Blizzard: "The group consists of four players. In total, their stats are 50% MF, +20% GF and 10% XP, each of these players will have a 12.5% ​​MF, 5% GF and 2.5% XP being in such a group." (Source)
Players will find stacking Magic Find gear more difficult than Diablo II due to the sacrifice of other important attributes.
Topaz gems will add Magic Find when socketed into a Helmet.
There is no cap on how much Magic Find you can have.

Nephalem Valor Buff
The Nephalem valor buff is a system added to Diablo III to help encourage players to play more of the game instead of resorting to boss farming for items. The Nephalem valor buff will increase a player's Magic Find for continually killing monsters.

The Nephalem Valor buff increases a player's Magic Find as well as increase the amount of loot drops from a boss.
The Nephalem Valor buff will be available only to characters of level 60.
After killing an Elite monster, the Nephalem Valor buff will be activated.
The Nephalem Valor buff can stack.
The buff will disappear if you change a skill, skill rune, passive skill or leave the game.
The buff will last for an undetermined amount of time.
If a player joins a game, they will not receive the current buff other players may already have.
Dying will not cause the buff to disappear.
If disconnected, there will be a small grace period before disappearing.
