Diablo 3 - Beta thread

Hilarious :p

i'm not really surprised.

Hey, people will pay $60 for it, so why not. $60 is a nice reward for using rehashed material isn't it?
 
If anyone at blizzard or associated with can make a dream come true... sooner, please hook me up with a beta key! I've been playing diablo since the franchise started with d1. It's my favorite series ever and I'd love to be a part of the beta and offer constructive feedback. <3

They put a wow ui on top of the image.. its not an actual scene from wow....
 
Reading the official D3 forum makes me wonder if any of the people posting actually played diablo 2 at all.

Any of you read it? It's like all the WoW kids who were 5 when D2 came out are the only ones on there and they are whining about Diablo 3 being Diablo.

I wish I could post over there...

So, I can't find my original CD keys, but I have all the discs. Blizzard wants $40 a set for digital downloads and I don't trust any of these key sellers.

I just reinstalled vanilla D2 single player only, so this should be fun to run around for a bit.

I got the itch real bad.

i dunno if they are still around but i remember buying a copy for like $5 somewhere online... they just give you a key and you register it to your account
 
I hope the realms are larger than Diablo 2. I never liked how they split USWest and USEast

I'd say 99% chance it is out before the end of the year, 75% chance it is out in November, 25% chance it is out next month.

I have a feeling Dec. And What I'm thinking is at BlizzCon opening they will announce release date.

From what I have seen of the beta, I'd guess they announce the date at BlizzCon, but I am thinking it will be a very short turn around time. This is a game that really shouldn't need that big of a beta test.
 
I will be very surprised if there is no release date announcement at blizzcon. The gameplay is extremely polished in the beta right now. There are bugs though and the UI needs more polish. The battle.net system also needs work, public games are disabled in the beta because they just didn't work, things are missing (though some are disabled on purpose) and the friend system is still not done.
 
in the past several days playing the beta, I have been dropped from games over 20 times, massive latency while playing due to bnet issues and huge problems with character creation, selection due to bnet issues.

Game seems quite polished, but the bnet problems are going to set it back quite a bit. I know its a beta but it has quite long way to go if this is what release could look like. I would be mid dungeon and bnet would crash and I would lose all progress, like 45 min - hour or so... several times in 1 sitting. If this happened at release, people would be grabbing their pitchforks.

No it was not my connection or machine and it has been reported. This combined with the little insider information I have makes me think this game will not release in 2011, but rather Q1 2012.
 
The only connection issues I have had was when they had server problems friday night. The rest of the weekend was flawless for me. Do you have comcast? There is a lot of issue with the game and comcast users it seems at the moment.

Interesting. Haven't seen any reports on the beta forums about crashes like that.

Force's sources say the closed beta starts between tomorrow and thursday. http://www.youtube.com/user/ForceSC2strategy#p/c/5C2F514ECED855CA
 
Im not in beta, but I can understand the drops and other issues... If I was Bnet, i would be using this time to build up my servers to run the game, which would end up causing drops and latency issues as it was being built.
 
There's something about the playable character models that doesn't rub right with me. All previous games the characters were kind of cartoony, with oversized limbs, and/or otherwise had quite distinct features. These avatars don't look very Blizzardy. If someone showed me this

and compared it to this:

And I wasn't allowed to know the title of each game or it's developers, I'd think Torchlight was being made by Blizzard. They feel more creative and look more Blizzardy.

The Diablo 3 environment still feels like it's Blizzard, but the avatars are meh.
 
I think you are forgetting the rainbow unicorn stuff. If they made the avatars look like that, the "Diablo 3 looks like WoW" crowd would really be on to something.

They don't look all that good, though. Not sure how Dhalsim from Street Fighter snuck in as a witch doctor. I think the barbarian is Epic Beard Man.

LOL! He does look exactly like Dhalsim
 
I've been watching alot of streams, and these character models and animations don't feel like Blizzard. The environment feels like Blizzard, the monsters feel like Blizzard, but the characters don't.

D3 is going to look different because everything doesn't look like a pixelated mess...Not sure what would make D3 characters "Blizzard like". If anything I get a Titan Quest vibe from this game.
 
I think it's probably the pacing at the moment. I hope there will be increased run/walk and attack/cast speed mods later on. It'll make things move at more of a knee-jerk pace that way.

I get a TQ vibe from watching the Barbarian because I always played a Conqueror in TQ and everything I killed went flying hilariously away from me due to the game having a physics engine.

Better character models and skins will probably be available as DLC or on the store :>
