It’s too soon to properly evaluate Reaper of Souls, but not too soon to reflect upon the launch. So how was your Reaper of Souls launch experience? Most reports I heard were pretty good; fans enjoying the new content and the Crusader, and experiencing little to no technical trouble. But here’s where we introduce numbers, since the plural of anecdote is not data… unless it comes with bars and graphs!

Ah to be a mac user when a new patch arises. The forums are wild with report of macs crashing from almost everything in the game. Looking to browse the AH before it goes down?Crash! Looking to see who is on your friends list?Crash! Looking to play a game?Crash! All of which leads to a rather undesirable experience for your average mac user.

Fmulder spotted an interesting tidbit from Joystiq; Diablo III will be optimized to look pretty on the super high image quality of the new Mac laptops.

As a Mac user (flame on) this issue has been hitting close to home. Many Mac Diablo 3 players are reporting sluggish frame rates, that is if they are able to play at all.

With the release date coming up soon, fans are trying to get things done in advance, per Blizzard’s recommendations. If you’ve purchased the Diablo III digital download you get a link from your Battle.net account, but if you haven’t bought that yet, or you’re waiting for a box copy, you’ll want to go ahead and download the game files to save time come launch night. We first posted all these links back in March, but as many people as I’ve seen asking about them today, a repost is in order.

That title might sound ominous, but this is not one of those emails (or forum posts) that points you to some trojan-infected malware site. You can legitimately download the full Diablo III installer, for most regions/languages, right now, from Battle.net. You can’t play it yet since this isn’t the game, and anyway, the servers aren’t live and you don’t have a valid CD-Key, but this way you’ve got the whole 7gig installer already set up, which will save you much time come 11:59pm, May 14th. At that point you’ll need to download the game files and install the whole thing, then pray the Battle.net servers hold up under the strain.

While this isn’t exactly “new” news, the question about Diablo 3 system requirements continues to be a general topic of interest. Official requirements have been released regarding minimum and recommended specs for your computers. The requirements have been updated as of January 21st and are subject to change.

There’s an informative article on Cnet about the improving state of games for Mac users. More developers are making Mac titles, Macs can finally (sort of) use Steam, Macs can run PC programs fairly well via Boot Camp, the very popular iPads and iPhones restrict the software that can be run on them, Apple’s Mac App Store helps sell older titles that aren’t on the shelves anymore, Amazon’s got a new digital downloads store for Mac products, and most casual games run via web browsers. A quote:

@Diablo coughed up a couple of very short replies today, and while neither is any new game info, at second one is worth discussing. Perhaps those of you who are incensed by the recent lack of new info can use this one as a brief distraction from using the other main page threads to complain about the lack of game news?

That’s the question asked in a guest article by David Rosen of Wolfire Games, on Kotaku today, which brought up some issues worth debating. A few facts, from the article:
