So by current estimations there will be roughly 6 out of the 7 billion people on Earth playing Diablo 3 this Tuesday. Of those 90% of humanity, most will be playing as soon as possible in their particular country and timezone. However, I’m here to share why those not playing at the very second of launch may actually be in a more advantageous position. Here is a very tongue-in-cheek anti-thesis on one of the most popular gaming past-times, the Midnight launch. Without further introductory ado, here’s the top 5 reasons to not play Diablo 3 at Midnight.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.

I know this is a satirical over-exaggeration, but no. Seriously. Diablo 3 is not the second coming. That kind of hype will only damage it in the long run.
But for those who are getting it, play it whenever you want. If you've been anticipating the game, and you have the time, just play it whenever you want.
I have beer and energy drinks ready for midnight. you're fooling yourself by not playing when the gates of hell will open.
I'm not going to play mine till Tuesday morning even though I already have my copy. I have a feeling the server will crash on the midnight release and I don't mind waiting.
My dream is to taste mountain dew we do not have that in europe :D atleast not in Lithuania!
Mountain Dew Sucks
