Blizzard Steps in for Aus/NZ GAME Diablo 3 Customers – Get Playing!

It’s not a been a great time for GAME over the past few months, it may be saved in the UK but it’s not fared so well down under. As you know from earlier, if you pre-ordered through GAME you thought you were going to be pretty much shafted, but as with most companies that go under, a solution usually appears. It looks like you will all be OK, this just in from Blizzard.

We’re aware that some Australian GAME customers have been left out in the cold on what should be the hottest night of the year — the launch of Diablo III. To help with this situation and get these players into the game as soon as possible, we’ve put the following process in place.

Australian GAME customers with a valid preorder/prepurchase receipt dated before May 15, 2012 can do the following:

1. Purchase the digital version of Diablo III from

http://www.diablo3.com

now or anytime before May 21, 2012.

2. Download and start playing when the servers go live!

3. Submit your GAME Australia preorder/prepurchase receipt to us before June 30, 2012.

4. Receive a credit from Blizzard, for the amount you paid in advance to GAME Australia for Diablo III. This credit will be applied to the payment method used for the digital purchase.
We’ll post further details here on how to submit your GAME Australia receipt to our customer service team as soon as possible. Stay tuned, and we look forward to seeing you in the Burning Hells!

Thanks Azzure.

Problem with installing the game?

3
Posted 15 May 2012 by Kaydee at 04:54 GMT

We seen some problems today for some people when they try to install the game and here are some solutions that might help you if you experience any of them. We reported on some solutions earlier but here are some new ones.

An unexpected decryption error occurred


This error message generally indicates that the installation files may be corrupted, damaged or incomplete. Please make sure your download has finished before attempting to install the game. Secondly, make sure the installation executable file is in the same folder as all your other Diablo III installation files. If the problem persists, you may need to delete all the files and restart the download.

Your installation folder should not have any files with the .Part extension. If it does, it indicates the downloader was closed prematurely. Restart the downloader in this case, selecting the same location the “Diablo-III-8370-enUS-Installer” folder is in, and it will check the existing files and download what’s missing. It’s important to let the downloader finish on it’s own. It will start the “Diablo III Setup.exe” file when it’s done. It can take a while so please be patient.

Sign of Release – Be a Part of it!

sign of release - be a part of it

In celebration of the release we wanted to do something that would involve all fans as pleased as us at finally having their copy of Diablo 3. Fitting for the occasion we felt was a mosaic made up of images of yourself posing with your new prized possession – your box of Diablo 3 goodness.

We wanted an iconic image to mark the occasion and obviously Diablo’s head sprang to mind first but with so few colours it didn’t lend itself well to a mosaic, so we went for another super cool image. The imposing image of the Skeleton King. This is the image that all of our faces and copies of Diablo 3 will make up and we’re calling it Sign of Release!

So, to be a part of it you simply add your image to this thread in the forum or if you don’t have a forum account email it to signofrelease@incgamers.com.  None of the pictures are named so you’ll be completely anonymous, so email them in if you’d prefer.

So phones, digicams and webcams at the ready and strike a pose.  Look gleeful or deranged – the mood is up to you.

We squeezed the last vote in just over the weekend, after the closed beta testers were awarded a controversial Feat of Strength. Fan opinions on it weren’t real positive, though as many pointed out in comments, it’s funny how more people who got it liked it while most people who didn’t… didn’t.

    Datamined Info and Changes

    3
    Posted 14 May 2012 by Rushster at 18:28 GMT

    diablo 3 patch 1.0.1As you would expect, there is a ton of datamined information that can be gathered from the retail client so we are being selective with what we post so the main focus is on item and database information.

    Skills pretty much remain unchanged apart from one slight change for the Barbarian.

    DiabloWikiBarbarian

    Ground Stomp – Avalanche Enemies are knocked back 12 yards and inflict 55% weapon damage to enemies in the landing area. Enemies are knocked back 9 yards and inflict 55% weapon damage to enemies in the landing area.

     

    There is of course all the new items and changes that are going into DiabloNut.com and the Hero Planner as I type this up. There is a lot of data to get in so please be patient while we work through it all.

    Regarding images, well we don’t want to spoil the game so we are going to hold off on those until a little later, much better if you experience it all for yourselves and we’ll add them into the datamining gallery so as not to spoil anything here on the front page.

    The show will include chat with the team, developer interviews, giveaways and community interaction through our IRC channel. It should be a fun night for everyone so make sure you join us.

    Just a reminder when you join the channel do not discuss anything that´s datamined or past skeleton king before EU servers launch. And if you post link to Asian stream you MUST add Spoiler tag before the link.

    The show will be aired on our Twitch TV channel and it is also embedded here for your viewing pleasure. Let’s hope there are no technical hitches :)

    Hope You Didn’t Pre-Order from GAME in Australia

    44
    Posted 14 May 2012 by Flux at 12:54 GMT

    Grim news from Kotaku Oz, as they report that GAME, a software store that’s gone into receivership (basically the same thing as bankruptcy), is broke, is not receiving many copies of Diablo III, and is not offering refunds on the money they received from software pre-orders.

    They’re still delivering the pre-ordered games that arrive, but customers who placed orders that don’t get stocked (as has become very common with the worldwide shortage of D3CEs to fill preorders) are simply out of luck. No game, and no refund.

    Due to the appointment of an administrator to our business this morning, it is with regret that I inform you all that our stores will not be receiving any stock of diablo 3. Because of this, we regrettably will be unable to fulfill any pre-orders. Also, we will be unable to refund any deposits paid towards a pre-order of diablo 3. If you need any more info, please email customerrelations@game.com.au

    The only option for defunded customers is to apply to become a creditor, just like all the other companies and individuals that GAME owes debts to. Sadly, such creditors are generally paid in pennies on the dollar — naturally; if the company could pay their debts, they wouldn’t be going bankrupt. The Kotaku article provides a link to useful legal information in Australia, if you are among the victimized in this matter.

    No Advance Reviews of Diablo III and Sigil Tech Problems

    15
    Posted 14 May 2012 by Flux at 10:22 GMT

    If there’s one consolation with Diablo III’s long delay and online-only mode, it’s that pissy professional critics didn’t get early access either. Oh, they were in the beta, but no one gets to play Diablo III early. No one.

    The game isn’t live in the Americas region until 12:01 a.m. PDT, May 15. No one has early access.


    In other news, the class sigil rewards on the Diablo 3 Reveal page had a lot of technical problems when the site first went live, and now that all 5 classes are available for people to make up the ones they missed… the problems have returned.

    We’re aware you can’t currently complete a banner to claim a sigil, and are working to resolve the issue. We unfortunately don’t have an estimate at this time for when it will be resolved.
