I couldn't find an official Diablo 3 thread to post this under, but as of today, a new wave of diablo 3 invites went out. I'll be sure to add sources later.
I recieved my Diablo 3 Beta invite, along with 3 of my friends, so be sure to check your battle.net account! To avoid this post from being pointless; If you are in Diablo 3 beta currently,
What is your first impression, best and worst experience so far?
I've only made it to level 6, and first impression is that the game is too linear. Alot of the maps are very narrow, lending almost nowhere to go but forward. Some areas have been slightly larger, but I still get a feel of no choice.
My best experience yet was fighting in the Cathedral, where the monsters start to come in groups of 10 - 20. It really gives the feel that your pumeling your way through hordes of undead.
Along with the thought of being linear, I'm not sure how much choice I get in choosing which abilities to learn or how to progress my character. In diablo 2, the skill tree along with synergies promoted many builds as well as gave the feeling of deciding and playing a major part of how your character functions in combat. Sure the old system was slightly unforgiving if you made mistakes, or didn't know which you were doing the first time you created character X, but at least it gave you options.. I'll continue playing and see if this all pans out.
|
There's a thread already about beta invites. But as far the the comments you made about the game, the main decisions will be what skills you want to use with the limited slots and runes which are not implemented in the beta.
|
Diablo 2 didn't start with synergies either. The game is still in development.

Not much at all is in the beta in fact. Being a Die-hard Diablo / Diablo 2 fan, I would be amazed if blizzard could do anything to make me choose to NOT play. From the first hour of game play available (although you can't judge D2 by act 1 on normal at all) I'm drawn to wonder how game play at later levels will differ. I really like the mercenary and crafting systems. Combat seems true to the original, although a bit more streamlined and not so much auto attacking at level 1. Either way, I cant imagine the game coming out later than Jan 24th 2012.

i got dota 2 beta accnt to trade for ur d3 beta accnt if anyone is bored :D
|
can ppl change email in beta invites?
|
No beta invite for me still. Shocker. Have lost almost all interest at this point.
|
I haven't received a beta invite and haven't played D3 since Blizzcon 2009, so maybe I'm saying that to comfort myself because my friend got an invite and I didn't, but part of me doesn't even want to play the beta when I do get invited. Don't get me wrong, I will play (cognitive dissonance) - and I'll certainly like it, but it's so short it'll just feel like a massive teaser.
I'm afraid I'll be disappointed like I was when I played in 2009. (I'm too pessimistic a lot of the time). The first levels of a game like this are usually the most boring ones because of the lack of diversity of skills and whatnot.
You know how at the end of TV shows sometimes there's a preview of the next episode - usually I don't watch them because I don't want to be spoiled. I wouldn't mind having something completely new when the game comes out in retail... On the other hand, when SC2's beta I jumped on it like a rabid beast...
Anyway, I'm a bit jelly.

3 accounts, and also checked 3 of my friends accounts who dont play, and no luck :-(
:-( i will never see the light of a blizzard beta invite.
|
I gave up for this beta, along with the dota 2 and cs:go betas already.

I read an interview somewhere that they don't want to "over-synergize" builds so that there's more creativity involved, rather than clear-cut builds that stand above all others. I believe the example was that the Wizard once had 3 passive abilities that all aided arcane damage, and being as that you can only have 3 passives active at a time, they didn't want people playing only arcane wizards.

CS:GO beta starts on november 30th according to twitter.com/csgo_dev . That said, you still need to be able to get a key. I got one from a friend who went to PAX who wasn't interested in counterstrike. They said, though, that eventually everybody WILL get in the beta, just that they need time to build up the infrastructure or something.
|
The crafting ability brings great dynamic. Being able to salvage crap equipment for materials makes every pick-up useful, and allows you to play the game in many directions.
The game itself reminds me a bit of torchlight 2. I was hoping the graphics would be less animated, it would add to the element of horror.
I am a bit confused on the skill selection, though that would take more game experience for me. I am on my first run-through, have made it to level 10, and I am finding this game a good continuatio from where Diablo II left off, at least for character customization and the Diablo-esque style of gameplay.
|
Damn, I almost got an heartattack, I looked if I got a key, I saw a big DIABLO 3 thing, for a sec, before I saw it was for the website, I thought I got a key T_____T

Blizzard said the exact same shit about Diablo 3, and it still seems as though the vast majority of people haven't gotten keys. Considering that Blizzard also said the D3 beta was going to be considerably shorter than SC2 beta, which was only about 4 months, it seems like the majority of people will unfortunately just have to wait until release to play the game
|
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
After reading this thread I remembered a friend that doesnt play SC2 anymore had lent me his account to play on Europe... checked... he has the beta ! Might have known a lot sooner...

Blizzard never said everyone would be getting beta keys. Also, their initial slated release was Q4 2011, chances are because they delayed the release, the beta would be extended accordingly.

Why do u guys care about this beta honestly? It's like not even full act 1, if ur in a fix for a rpg, go check out Skyrim.
|
I already beat Skyrim, which was a mistake. Once I beat the main storyline everything else seemed much less important. I still did a fair amount of side quests but I haven't been too motivated to play really.
I'm more annoyed at never getting into any betas than just not getting into Diablo 3, although being able to play in the beta would still be nice, even if it's short.

Great! The more the merrier, sad though beta is so short.. Its a bitter sweet victory to be in beta.
|
|
From what i've seen the beta does appear somewhat linear, but its only beta. There are a couple of side/random encounters or quests in beta so I'm sure release will have a lot more,same goes with larger maps leading to more exploration.
As for skills, you should lookup how runes will change skills, there's HUGE potential for customization.
Sadly im still not able to actually play beta, though since doing the year-WoW agreement I'm not as worried about it.

i have path of exile beta key, maybe someone wants to tade it into diablo3 beta?

Still nothing. Stopped hoping to get one now so if i did it would actually be a pleasant surprise. I watched so many streams and videos though so i know what the beta involves. Still i would enjoy it immensly actually playing it myself i expect.
|
Boo i just checked my battle.net account, no beta invites for me
now i feel sad. time to pwn some noobs in BF3 to feel better

I'm going to stream for a little bit, if you guys want to see anything specific or want me to do anything specific, just let me know in chat. Purely educational http://www.justin.tv/distortionz_sc2

Thank you for the answer. I guess i'll have to wait the whole game.
|
I got in !
I might be willing to give access for Path of Exile or something
|
I got D3 beta (demo) about a week ago.. and SWTOR, and DOTA2, all within the span of about 2 days. Game devs trolling the shit out of me given that any grad student is up to their ears in work end of November >.>
|
^ Share the love! I got into SW:TOR beta as well but would have tossed it aside in an instance for Diablo 3, even just for 1/3rd of 1/3rd of Act 1
|
200 new beta keys were given away on FB today

Honestly, I wouldn't be concerned w/ getting a beta key. There's a laughable amount of content (meaning next to none) unless they've changed it since I last checked.

Is that an open invite....?! ;p
|
Just wanted to let people know I just logged onto bnet today to check my account today and beta was there! Didn't receive an email or anything like that.
|
|
SOoooOoooOooo unfair, i want to play this game already!
|
i wanna get 1
|
=O I got my beta key! Just checked after reading this thread again and BOOM there it was. 100% opt in. Not F&F and not through FB or any other contest.
|
After reading the last comment I checked my account too. Yippie, I got in. Now I just have to go to the dentist and finish up my holiday shopping, then it is playing time!
|
Ya I just came through this thread and checked. got mine today!!!! so excited. downloading client now. Weird though; no email from blizzard.
|
Same here MrMatt. I decided that since it had been quite some time since I checked my b.net account I would see if anything was new. Sucks that I am at work but good thing I have my brother at home to download and install it for me :D.
|
still haven't got one
maybe blizzard blacklisted me from betas cuz I sold their sc2 beta key
|
So, is Blizzard still sending these out? Or are people just now realizing they got one from a couple weeks ago? Me and my friends have about ~6 bnet accounts between us, and none of us have got one. The disappointment is unbearable, especially when it seems 3/4 of Bnet holders already have D3 access lol. I even pre ordered the CE.. oh well. Maybe more will roll out soon. Grats to everyone that is playing!
|
Oh nice just checked my accounnt and I have it lol, not that hyped about it anymore but shiet still gonna play around a bit. And yea, no email.
|
Just checked and noticed I have my Beta invite. Pretty excited to check it out.
|
Never ever got a blizzard beta, they must hate me :S
|
Noticed I had one today, not sure how long I've had it for, since I was expecting to be sent an email.
|
Another week, another let down. Gah!

Definitely still sending them out. I did not have the D3 beta 2days ago, thats for sure

less than 1 % of all b.net accounts reveice an invite so you don't need to wonder that you haven't received one.

I checked my battle.net account and found the beta (wooooo!!). I check nearly daily so must have sent some out today. Slowly downloading it now, can't wait to play!

Darn it! if someone isn't gonna play their beta i'll gladly play
|
If it makes anyone feel any better, apparently windows 7 64bit is having issues, I can't get passed checking for updates.
|
sadly, i haven't gotten one yet. I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.2. Anyone on mac have a beta code yet?

I dont have an evidence however there are about 15 million accounts just for world of warcraft. And we have approximately 50000 beta tester rather less that would be about 0.33 % of all B.net account holders that receive an invite. Whatever the numbers exactly are less than 1% receiven an invite. I wouldnt even wonder if it would be 0.1x%.
(The 50000 Beta tester were estimated by a German D3 fansite.)

Moral Dilemma...
I told a a noob friend of mine to opt in way back when beta was opening. I recently within the past few days told him to check his account just out of curiosity to see if he got in. So after walking him through the procedure of how to check and what to look for, you know what he says???
Him: "Yeah, I got this PTR thing showing." Me: "That's it. You got it." Him: "Ah, nice. Maybe I'll take a look at it within the next 2 weeks. Maybe." Me: "Nice......... I'm going to be straight, share it or you'll pay dearly." (we're good friends) Him (sarcastically): "Nope, all mine. Get your own. I might not even play and stick with call of duty"
But note, the bold part is serious I'm thinking, since he's an avid player. I'm not even that pumped about the beta anymore, but lol, out of real life boredom, I'd like to give it a go for a few hrs in the next few nights. Imo, what a dick! Plus add the fact we like to rag on eachother about stupid things, I feel I'm obliged to do something.
WWJD?? Or better yet, what would the devil do?

Jesus would smite him some demons. Jack his beta.

Blizz doesn't approve of account sharing, I suggest you get your own :Q
|
I got 3 keys. (i have 5 sc accounts, dont ask). Definitely a lot of keys went out today (or they really liked my comp specs). I wish I could share but they are linked to the SC accounts I actually play a lot Hopefully all of you get your keys.
Too bad dota2 was the beta I really wanted in.....
|
Just got invited to D3 Beta. During my finals. FML. Tough choices must be made. Good bye text books. Hello D3 beta! At least for today >.<
|
Got my invite, sadly I don't like Diablo at all.
|
Blizzard needs to create a list where u can check which beta u would like to participate in. But that would also drasticly reduce posts that fake lack of enthusiasm.
|
oh hell yeah baby, I got in! It's so funny, cuz i got a fake one like..last week. Then this one looked official, my phone went off with email..then i got on, and logged in..sure as shit, it's legit! hell yeah, haha.
|
My level of jealousy increased dramatically with the last few posts...!

Is anyone else getting ridiculously slow download speeds though? I'm getting like..350kb/s. I tried to play the game, as it downloads or whatever..and it was stuck at the loading screen for like 5minutes before i alt f4'ed it I know it's trying to dl while it goes, that's probably why..i just don't understand why the download is going SO SLOW :D
|
I gave up on waiting for a beta key long ago, and started playing Skyrim instead. You guys should do the same
|
i just got one on my account that only has diablo2 keys on it, and not my 6 year old wow account that has my sc2 on it.
1st beta i ever got invited to by blizzard, lol

I received my beta invite today! What a very unfortunate timing though. I have a huge boom or bust final in Chemistry tomorrow, and I certainly cannot play for even an hour! Oh cruel world.
I hate you all.
No, I love you.
No, I don't... I'm just procrastinating.

Thats wrong. If anything its the other way around. I know people who had hundreds of random players play on their D3 beta account and they never even got a e-mail from blizzard about it. I know people who rent their beta acc and people who give play time for free to strangers. There are so little beta invites because blizzard doesnt have the D3 servers up and running but im pretty sure they would appreciate if more people played the beta and gave them their feedback. So if you have a D3 account share it with people.

Yeah, I just got my diablo 3 beta invite exactly 6 hours ago. 10pm CET. I'm so pumped. I wish you guys all the luck in the world that you'll get one, too!

Got mine Tuesday! Had some time to play last night. Very cool sound effects, fun game in general, pathing sucks like other Diablo games.
Disappointed that the beta is so short, but, I'm happy to at least be in.
|
No invites
|
|
Expecting to just not play the game at all at this point.
|
It's still closed beta, right? I got an invitation but I can't play with this connection of mine, using some free wireless from a coffee shop around the corner, bah! low signal so any sort of upload will crash the connection, and I'm sure it's torrent-style download like usual with blizzard.

Did you even read what i wrote ?
Blizzard themselves stated they sent out invites only when their infrastructure can support more players. Therefore if they dont sent out alot of them it only means they dont have their servers up and it DOESNT mean that they dont want more feedback from the players. That would be just stupid.
And again people are renting out accounts and have been since the very beginning. If a different person logs on to an account every 12-24 hours for the last month you think blizzard would notice ? They didnt. Wich means they dont give a fuck, in fact as i wrote earlier they actually appreciate the free feedback they get without spending money on new servers.

Never going "Open-Beta". But do keep this in mind; Blizzard still has to stress test Diablo III which means a lot of invites will be sent out. So there is hope!

My brother got an invite 3 weeks ago, I raped through the beta in a few days, haven't touched it since. Look at my email yesterday, got the invite on my main account. sigh...

So I have a question for everyone, like me, who has recently gotten beta access. Have you been able to play much? I got a good chunk co gaming in the very first day but since then there servers have been down or full. I literally get 1 of about 4 or 5 different errors every time I log in. I always check the forums to see what's up, and there usually talk of devs tinkering with stuff, servers being down for maintainence or the servers being full. Just wondering how many others are experiencing this. And if you are able to get on, at what times? Because I usually only get the chance at the end of each day. Just wondering if its fine during non-peak hours or something,

Just wondering if its fine during non-peak hours or something, ya its been like that pretty bad for the past few days, its beta blue post have been saying that they are testing and fixing stuff. I mainly get the server down error as i seem to be rather unlucky wanting to play when they have it completely down. Besides that it seems a lot of errors through the log in system is being worked out currently as these new waves of invites have seem to be targeted at testing server load.
keep an eye out on the beta forums and blue post/tweets its the best you can do in a beta. That and just keeping in mind its all about them fixing stuff now so in release its like butter. beta is a gift/a job so keep a open mind on service.

Yeah, I'm not mad about it or anything. This is the point of the beta. Just wanted to see if there was a better time to try to get in and play or if it is GG no RE kTHXbai all day erry day.

Yeah, I did. But with my 0,1-0,5mb/s connection, it's rather stuttery to play to say the least.
Not recommended, should get a stable connection :')
Can play tf2 and sc2 fine though, sure there's some delay but no spikes.

I'd take my laptop down to the coffeeshop, and have a nice cuppa joe, get a muffin and flirt with the waitresses while waiting for d3 to download.

i finished the beta in 2 sittings, but took 3 attempts. the first attempt connected fine and that was around 6pm NZ time, second attempt didnt connect and that was 12pm NZ time. 3rd attempt connected fine and that was just now. I've also got a question: are servers split up like Starcraft 2 or are they all connected together?

I got mine on the 7th.. went to junk mail... thnx god i checked spam mail before auto-deleting them. I will now check my spam folder all days insted of all mondays. Lost the chance of playing it these 4 day holiday i had :@

Haha, so funny with all these people going out of their way to THREATEN (us or Blizzard, not sure who) they won't play D3 after all. =)

Lol I got the beta and even though I had some amount of fun, I can't say I'd complain if I didn't have it... It's really not much.
|
I got in the US beta and im from EU. You dont get a beta-key(atleast I dident), diablo 3 beta is just added to your battle.net account so there is nothing to trade unless you share your account.
|
I stopped following the D3 beta several weeks ago after not getting in but I got my invitation email today, looking forward to testing this out tonight. Don't give up hope!
|
Eventually nearly everyone will have it because they will want to stress test their servers.

It took me an hour to finish beta. Very short but it was pretty fun. I wish you could use more abilities

I've had mine for 11 days on my secondary B.net account without realizing it ^.^ It's very short =[. I prefer PoE to it to be honest, if only for lack of content and the kiddy art-style in D3.

Received my beta invite this morning, hopefully that's a good sign that they are ramping up the beta.

6 accounts all signed, NO Beta, i never get a beta account for anything from blizzard. had to buy my SC2 Beta for 100$ :-(

Got a beta invite this morning. Got 2 emails, one for the beta invte and another telling me I got in because of my long standing interest in blizzard games... Woot.
|
Still waiting for my beta key. It seems almost every beta key I've really really wanted I don't get. Then the beta keys I don't want, I get.

Received my Beta invite this morning downloading now
Why was I selected to participate in the beta test? We have selected beta participants at this time from current players of our existing games who have opted in to the beta, and who have also shown a long-standing interest in Blizzard games.

Well I've and played every game blizzard made since day 1. Still haven't received any beta invites in the past and now. I don't know what to say but it's frustrating on my end.

There is a new key contest for 500 new Betakeys on Twitter. Sadly these keys will be given out over 5 weeks till January 23rd, which means Diablo III will not be out for sale in January

Tsj, who needs the beta, I have Skyrim!
+ Show Spoiler + T_T, I want a beta key....

best guess is summer release like most non mmo games... and i still haven't gotten my betakey

I believe it's still projected for Q1 2012. However with any Blizzard game, it will be released when it's done.
I still haven't gotten a key on any of my accounts (3 including my gf's) but a friend has let me use use his key. But honestly I haven't been to motivated to play, I've done a few playthroughs but it just makes me want to play the whole game even more
Please Blizzard release this soon I'm only off work till April!!!

I got two beta invites on the 7th, although I didn't notice until a couple days ago. I was pretty excited to play, although I was left pretty disappointed after playing. Doesn't have the same feel to it as Diablo II imo

Nostalgia and a completely different development team. Diablo 3 is very awesome and superior to Diablo 2 in every way I feel.
|
Got my key today by JP who gave a key away on Twitter. Man, did I get happy! :D Played it though as Monk, reached lvl10. Was a bit sad the beta didn't include that much content.
For me, the best moment was to hear the voice of Deckard Kain again. Just made my eyes goes heartshaped instantly.
|
Anyone have any extra invites :/
|
can any1 let me borrow their account to try the beta
|
who is stupid enough to lend their account? you are asking a really stupid question. you could sabotage it man.
|
Chill-out, just a joking question. Why would I want that account anyway? I have 2 SC2 accounts and I hate WOW.

I just remembered how they changed the German voices from Diablo to LoD. Don't know if they went with the Diablo Classic one (being kinda similar to the original English voice) or the LoD Cain (which sucked a lot) or maybe a totally new one. Either way, here is the best advice of your life: Either download the English client immediately before installing your local bought game (be it German or French or whatever) or even better import the English version from the UK (for e.g. from amazon.co.uk) - it's much cheaper from there and also much better.

Are there any other ways to get beta invites or is the only way to get in is through the random beta invites through your Blizzard beta account?

Apparently you can get keys from stuff like twitter/facebook contests or whatever. Some say they've asked blizzard employees for them at blizzcon and gotten them. I just borrowed a friends account to play the game since the experience doesn't last many hours.

Got a key long ago on my US account, never even checked until a couple of days ago. I was invited in one of the first waves without even knowing xD

It comes when you least expect it. I had for a long time given up on getting any kind of beta (10+ years) for any game when I got my sc2 beta invite. I tripple and quadruple checked that it wasn't some kind of scam before I believed it.

Sc2 beta involved 10000x more people than diablo 3... and more frustrating is the fact that the game is finished for few weeks and they only delay the game because of Korean law vs RMAH

^ I think they are still figuring out how they want the rune system to work. They just changed it to no longer have the unattuned rune and are still playing around with it. I don't think they are delaying the money from everywhere aside from Korean just because of them. Bashiok (or some blue) also made a comment on this as well but you never know what to believe these days.

Thats not correct, the RMAH and Korean law does not affect the release date, blizzard has stated this before. The delay is due to polishing and "in the last strentch" as they put it, which is alot of acheivment and general polishing and UI tweeks.
Short form: They are still working on the game, but waiting for "laws and RMAH"

We honestly can't know what really delays any game, most of us at least.

If you fallow diablo 3 news you would know that most of the UI changes and rune system changes were made and announced at around August 2011, and a lot of sources said that beta that went live like 2 months later was older version of the game without new changes, just to check if there is any bugs with game. I dont believe they work almost half of the year just to fix UI and rune system... They also said its very important to Blizzard to release the game global at same time, and when you see that game is still not approved by South Korean government. You dont have to be a genius to figure out that "fixing bugs and polishing the game" is just an excuise so people dont get angry that they are not releasing game because of Koreans.
Anyways Blizzard will get final answer from South Koreans in 1st week of January if the game is not approved they will probably (as some sources said) cut off RMAH from Korean D3 and add it in future patch if they managed to convince South Koreans. Thats clearly indication that they doesn't want to wait longer and delay game again...

I wouldn't trade my dota 2 key for anything :D, it's honestly just so much fun to play, you get bored of diablo 3 beta in a couple hours, you can play dota 2 beta all day and it's amazing, with not even like half the hero's in it yet.

looking to swap my diablo 3 beta for dota2, please PM me.

I recently happened to watch the diablo 3 announcment video @Blizzcon 2008.. kinda surprised how ready the game looked even back then, ofc artisans, areas and stuff were missing but the basics were there.
|
So, my friend checked his b.net account and saw he had a d3 beta available to him. He hadn't received any e-mail alerting him to this, so it's possible blizzard sent out another wave of invites..... then again I don't know how religiously he checks his b.net account. Anyways, figured it's worth a bump if they did, I checked mine, no luck though.
|
Yeh I have a Diablo3 beta also that I would be interested in trading for Dota2 if anyone is interested shoot me a pm. Gonna be out of town for a bit tho so cant do anything for a few days.
|
Because some of you guys in here are willing to trade their D3 Beta for a Dota 2 Beta Account i would be interested in doing so. I got a Steam Account with Dota 2 Beta on it and Battlefield Bad Company 2 and would be interested in trading the whole account for a D3 Beta Account. If anyboy is interested in doing so just message me.

Its not and it will never be. If you played it for a long time you should understand that the restrictions that War3 puts on the map make it unique. I might still buy it on realease but for now I'm sticking with Dota 1.

You sure like to argue and I don't think you understand what i mean(and it's not an exact port either way). Nevertheless this is not the right thread for this so I'll just stop here.
Still would like to trade my Dota 2 beta for Diablo 3 beta.

I rented a D3 beta account a few weeks ago for $10/day. Too bad I got sick and was only able to play a mere 20ish minutes before going back to bed.
Does anyone want to rent me a D3 account?
Let me know.

I'm pretty sure you need to have a blizzard product activated on bnet to even get one, which means cost of game + whatever people feel like charging for beta. Unless I'm wrong and there are key activations floating around, I really wouldn't waste my time paying for 2 hours of content.

The tike played varies with each person and what they want to get out of the beta. If someone is edament in actually testing the game, they can get many gours of it even if it is just a small portion of act 1. If one plays just for the sake of playing, most likely will get to sk and stop not long after.

I'm curious if everyone who got in today is from NA, because that seems to be the case?

Nah i'm in @ EU, but got in over a month ago. I'm just curious if this wave is only for NA because it does look like it.
|
They could let absolutely everyone into the beta and I still wouldn't get in, there'd be a problem with my account.
|
I'm really happy I got in. I'm actually shocked because I have terrible luck getting into any beta. Mind you it's apparently a ton of people who got invited today.
|
btw i am trading a tribes acend beta key for a d3 beta key (note i did played some on it so you will be able to choose from ranger pathfinder soldier and jugernout) got 2k tokns but on higher lv than 1 with only ranger and soldier +1.4k tokens
|
also got in, although I previously had access to it, now its on my main account
any official statements on this? some ppl are talking about a 100k wave?

Care to not be a douche and help another in need for a beta key
|
I really hope the "wave" continues, because I still don't have beta access, nor does anyone I know personally (like 8 people) have it.
Either way, i've gotten into the tribes beta, and the dota 2 beta, both of which I didn't know i signed up for. Problem is, I am not really looking forward to either.
|
finally got in myself on one of my secondary accounts
|
IM IN YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JUST GOT IN TODAY WOOOOOOOO
|
did you receive an email to your battle.net email? how did u get the invite?
|
I don't know about him but I just checked my battle.net account and I was beta enabled. Hope you get one soon!

You made me check mine too. I didn't receive any email, but I also have Beta status enabled! Woot!
|
No EU invites again - still waiting anxiously. Or did anyone from EU get in with this wave?
|
Got in on my main account. Cool I guess since I had allready gotten in on a secondary account but traded it for Dota2.
On NA
|
I got it as well. First Beta ever (without a pre-order like for SC2) for all blizz games I've ever tried for... which leads me to believe a crapton of people got in.
Was enabled on my account just above the D3 WoW annual pass thing in account summary. I still haven't gotten an email from Blizz about being selected.
|
YEASSSS I GOT IN WOOOO!!!!!
|
Got in! Like others, I didn't get an email, just checked my account this morning and it was there!
|
So you just check your bnet acct and under Diablo III there will be something instead of nothing(counting the WoW 1 year=DiabloIII Free thing as nothing)?
Sadface =[[

NOO i still didnt get one T.T Ron Paul is also losing in the primaries fml i wish i had a key lol
|
I;m in. Must have happened today.
Woot.
I still can not port in the official bug forums yet. Sucks. Firebats are messed up...
|
I just got in today also! I just checked my account after reading this, no email.
|
Anyone from EU got a key this wave?
|
I got in on my US account so that's cool I guess, this whole 2 hour limit thing sounds a bit silly though.

What are you talking about?
btw I got in last night. No email, just checked my account and it was there. Got through the Skeleton King on a Monk in ~3 hours or so (with a lot of exploration). People are right in that there isn't really much content in the Beta.
|
Just got an e-mail about 5 minutes ago. Thought it was fake, but checked my Battle net account and it was there :D
Downloading client now

Oh I guess I misread something in an earlier page, I couldn't find much information without delving into the BNet forums and I really didn't want to do that. I guess i'll find out what's up myself when it's done downloading.
|
just got my email, NA account too bad it wont make me play it as much as i wanted likea month or two ago, the hype is all gone my heart isn't going to be in it.
|
OMFG, i literally just got invites for two of my bnet accounts, so so happy
|
every time i see new wave of invites im like cmon maybe its my turn... but no it never is =(
|
I JUST GOT IN HELL YES!! DOTA 2 AND DIABLO 3 IN THE SAME WEEK! One issue though...when I click the launcher it locks my computer up for 10 whole seconds every time before the launcher pops up. Really weird issue and it only happens with diablo 3.
|
This is pretty sad, I play SC2 all the time and I stopped playing WoW about about 2 weeks ago and yet no beta invite.

This isn't true at all, and you shouldn't post stuff like this without facts.

read your beta profile settings. make sure there aren't any errors like extremely low download speed or no hard drive space etc. everyone i've talked to has gotten in, even with super high end systems.

Did anyone from EU got an invite today ?

Ok, 2 things. Firstly would you be willing to share one of those invites? Worth a try!
Secondly, how do you tell if you have been invited if you can't get emails? All blizzard emaisl get auto marked as spam due to the high amount of fake blizzard emails. I have had 3 accounts signed up for the beta since it began, and not one has been invited (I don't think).
Also, I says I only have 13gb free HD space on my beta profile. Will that stop them from inviting me to the beta?

Generally, beta invites are tied to the account that's invited, so sharing it would require giving you the account.
The way you can tell if you've been invited if you can't receive emails is to log on to your battle.net account and go to the account management screen. Diablo III Beta should be at the top of your list of games if you've been invited. You can click on it to download the client and then log in once it's installed, if it appears there.
|
I just got an opt int. America, fuck yeah!
|
Also, is there any difference between eu and na battle net accounts? I have an account with a NA sc2 copy on it, but when I log into the account its still eu.battle.net
|
Got an invite tonight as well.
|
Still not invite on EU... Why no love for europeans?
|
The "Everyone is getting invites" posts got my hopes up, but no... Just checked mine and gf's account, and no invites. The computer registered should be pretty average, and have no problems with the game (i5 quad core @ 2.8ghz, 8 gb memory, Radeon 6870 and 500 gig free space). Either they aren't sending as many invites to EU players as they are to the US players, or they are sending out the EU invites later.

Nope. But at least it's pretty much confirmed this wave was only for NA.

seeing all these posts, checked my 2 accounts for like the 4th time today. Nope.
I've heard things about "posting on the bnet forums helped people", and the people I knew got an email that they had the beta. Has any1 gotten the beta, but not gotten an email?
I hope more will go out tomorrow. I've been waiting and checking my bnet account once a week or more since the beta started. If not, I don't know if anyone would be willing to trade a dota2 or Tribes beta any more. Seems like a lot of people are offering those out.
|
Ye , Europe not getting any, as there hardware is running mainly on NA .... Someone wants to give an invite, pretty please ?

If you have multiple bnet accounts I would assume you dont check the emails for the other ones so you wouldn't see them. (I don't) My secondary account that got in a while ago I just randomly checked it and I had it.
The account thats linked to my primary email they did send me an email, however interestingly enough you get access quite a bit before they send you email. ie. I saw there was a new wave of invites in the morning and checked my bnet account and I had it then got an email later in the evening informing me. lol
|
To anyone feeling disappointed: Having a Diablo 3 beta invite is fun and all, but it's not a whole lot of content. In that regard it's nothing like the beta for WoW or any of its expansions, or even the SC2 beta (which was multiplayer only.) The betas for all of those were good for hundreds of hours of play, while Diablo 3's beta is probably good for 10 or 20, and that's if someone plays through every class and explores things like crafting and screwing around with the AH.
|
Well I think for most of us its just trying out every class and playing around with the UI and the obviously very nice graphics ( as for me I want to make sure I can play it on my netbook). I see much more value in the beta then most people think of it.
|
I have 2 accounts, one US, one EU, I received a beta key to the US one during the night :-).
None of my friends which have EU accounts received one.
|
I'm still desperately looking forward to that beta... I anyone have an account to share, I'm ready to provide every piece of information (phone number, e-mail adress, adress, whatever) to make you feel secure about it, so if you want to make someone happy... Shoot me a PM :D.

Just came home from work to find an invite waiting for me
|
Got mine. Productivity at work is now negative 1 billion.

ya, i got mine too! like others have stated, i received no email or any notification whatsoever. i only went in to check after seeing this post and one on Bnet, and i still had to go into "manage games" to see that i got it. really don't understand why they just don't make it an open beta so everyone can play it. what makes some of us more special than others?!?!?!?!?
edit:i did receive an email about getting an invite from Blizzard, must have gotten it later in the day after i checked my account.
|
I just got in! I don't know where to ask, but should I bother checking up on all the changes the game made or just play it as it is and don't worry about things until retail?
|
Got in as well. @Torte, I'm checking the changes just to be able to provide better feedback. If they implemented something dumb, I want to know about it and whine on the Bnet forums at them for it.
|
Cant belive i never get invite to any betas. Even now in feb 2012. Just give me the game already.

Yes!!! I got an invite too! Finally!
Strange that you didn't get an email. I did, so it's not like they've stopped with the email notifications completely or anything.
Actually, it makes sense to limit the beta. This way they don't need to manage nearly as many servers which saves a TON of money and personnel time (for example, updating every server with the newest beta build would be....tiresome). On top of that, they are able to "top up" the user base. With this beta, I'm sure most people who were in the beta at the beginning have moved on to other things. It's a single player beta and there just isn't enough content to keep people playing through the whole length of the beta testing phase. So, if they did an open beta in the beginning, they could potentially have a really hard time getting enough players at this point.
|
|
Wow I got in! about time :D
|
Yeah. Thats crazy. I got a txt from my friend and thenchecked myemail. In!!
|
We recently invited 100,000 more North American players
No luck for us euros.
|
Just got my invite last night. Played through it twice with two different classes. I do hope the game is harder than the Beta as I didn't have to use a single health potion in either play throughs. Nevertheless, it's good to be playing Diablo again.
|
Got mine last night too...
Black screen on load... FML
|
I got one. Game so far is fun; succeeds in making you feel like a badass. But on the other hand it's way too easy. I certainly hope that all of normal won't be that easy. Also, it's a little too dark in the outside parts (no I'm not joking) but I got used to it after 30 or so minutes.
Not much else to say. It's fun but the beta is so short.

yes, yes, this makes alot of sense, however it just seems really unfair to the people who didn't get an invite who have been waiting and wanting to play the beta for so long.

I finally got in with the latest wave of invites.. Played through the beta as barb.. game seemed to be underwhelming for me..

I just got an invite last night! Loving the story so far <3

Me 2 man, i would really appreciate a beta invite. We could also test ingame content 2gether to see how co-operation works
|
Hey my bud got an invite but I didn't, if anyone has a spare so I can play with him would be much appreciated!
|
i did not receive any invite...
|
I got in yesterday and played with some other people in a random public room today who all just got it. It doesn't look like they give us invites to send to friends though. On their site they say 100,000 invites went out.
|
I guess this is the goal since they invited 100k people but unplayable lag right now. Lagged for 30 minutes (semi-unplayable) then got kicked with an "error_1".
I hope they test it well because this is stuff I won't take when the game comes out (since I play mostly single player)
|
interesting, it seems that everything is timing out for me/lagging like hell sc2 has 0 lag at the moment and neither does anything else that i'm doing...but D3 is barely letting me log in IF im lucky :/

yeah because more people are on, around 2am in the west coast the game was fine, but now tomorrow around 4pm west coast lag in games and now i can't even log in:D i just wanted to farm achievements i already got all the basic achievements done i just need to hit lvl 13 with one of each class and finish up skilling sk a few more times. Although i doubt without friends i'll never get the achievement to revive one of each class, no one dies in this game you have to stand still to die.

Yes, by a lot. It doesn't even make my processor fan run loud (game goes to 47-48C and my processor fan picks up at 50)
To put into perspective, playing a DS rom is harder on my computer. Playing Guild Wars (6 or is it 7 now years old) is also harder.

Ok so how much damage does it do? Any secondary effects?... oh, you're not going to tell me are you?

I just installed D3 but it won't let me log in. I created a BattleTag and enter that along with my Battle.net password but the login button is grayed out. Is there something else I need to do?
|
you dont enter in battle tag after you create it it's just like creating an acocunt name for sc2.
You use email and password to log in. But then again it could just be down again...

Hey sorry to you guys who did not get an invite yesterday. I got mine, maybe I can help some....
When this post is 1 hour old, I will stream the entire beta
Going to start from character creation and play all the way through the entire beta. 720p HD stream! Q & A from viewers throughout.

Of course I don't get an invite.. I never do -_-
Been loyal to Blizzard since 1998 and bought 3 or 4 separate copies of D2 but that doesn't matter :-P Hope you guys enjoy it.. I'll just wait for launch day I guess..

This is true even being very tedious you maybe get 3 hours of unique game play and you completed everything, then its just about 1 2 hours per class of dicking around to beat it with every class i can't see me doing much with this outside of one week

Just checken my email, no D3 invite
Almost deleted my whole inbox when I see a Path of Exile email, apparently I got into their beta O.O
I had COMPLETELY forgot about the game and I think I signed up over a year ago trying to get in.

It was slow for me as well. Took around 5 hours to download the entire 3.5gig or so.

I hope they test it well because this is stuff I won't take when the game comes out (since I play mostly single player) is your comp good enough to run it? Yes, by a lot. It doesn't even make my processor fan run loud (game goes to 47-48C and my processor fan picks up at 50) To put into perspective, playing a DS rom is harder on my computer. Playing Guild Wars (6 or is it 7 now years old) is also harder. *edit : Other feedback : Those are quite possibly the worst skill tooltips of all time. Throw weapon : Throws a large axe. Ok so how much damage does it do? Any secondary effects?... oh, you're not going to tell me are you? lol I thought ur just another guy whining, but ya.. what's the deal with the tooltips? for example it says "leap to a specified location" but gives no indication of how much damage or anything? how are we supposed to decide between what skills to use :| also theres DPS but I didn't see any min/max damage indicator. Also the character turning radius is rly annoying, even tho its quite small Apart from this its bomb, pretty sure it'll be the best game ever made.
|
Still no key for me *cut wrist*
|
I got in :3 thank fucking god I already had the beta downloaded long ago.
|
Just finished it. Took 2 hours from start to finish and I wasn't rushing it at all.
As an old school d1 and 2er back in the day, I'm disappointed in the narrative more then anything else. The dialogue is predictable, cheesy, and a lot of the time poorly written. I felt like I was reading something from a highschool creative writing class at times.
All in all, what's in the beta doesn't really feel like a diablo game. The 'feel' is more like one of the many imitations that have come around over the years, rather then the originals. It's kinda disappointing to me, I was really hoping they were going to put more effort into this.
|
I'm pretty sure they're picking the better systems because they know gamers will have at least a i5-2500k.
The game is pretty sweet.. monk is looking like the best class as of right now... i'm owning kids.. I still can't get a hang of the skills .. totally different from d2

I believe the left control key provides advanced information for tool tips. It should give all the combat stats. Hope that helps .
I still didn't get in... >.>, oh well, I just want a release date.

It's kinda disappointing to me, I was really hoping they were going to put more effort into this. I played d2 for 5 years, absolutely loved the beta. I don't get your problem with the narration, in D2 I skipped everything the townsfolk and books etc said, just watched the cinematics. In d3 they really improved it, and alot of games should follow its template. You don't have to sit in one spot listening to each townsfolk's wall of text (like in skyrim, made me bored rly fast). Alot of the story is now explained while u walk around/in battles etc, which is really really good imo.
I'm glad the lines are simple and to the point, they dont try to make it convoluted like in bastion (mysterious narrator with mysterious kid in dreamland). I thought the game felt exactly like diablo 2, and had a way better atmosphere (more grim). Any if you think it should be more like D1, I can't even begin to fathom why - that game was incredibly slow and frustrating.
Anyway I'm not trying to contradict u, I just completely disagree with everything u said.

Got the beta the other day from a friend. Played all five classes in two days. I liked how the game looks as far as the questing system, story telling, and skill system went. The game feels like diablo.
The beta is good for figuring out what class you want to play come release. I was at a total tossup between all of them besides the monk and now I know I definitely want to start with a Witchdoctor. All of the classes were interesting in their own ways though.
Basically there is nothing to do in the beta though past 6-8 hours of playing. It looks like almost everyone who opted-in will get a chance to play eventually. Cant wait for the release!
|
Just got in yesterday...finally! Good so far. Wish the beta didn't do everything for you though but its still fun.
|
Presumably they just sent out 100k... Can't believe they skipped me, again.
|
Pff still no key here aswell

Thanks for the info, I'll try that out. It doesn't change the fact that they are ridiculously simplified though. I know they want 5 year old kids and everyone's grandmother to be able to play this game but there's a freaking limit to dumbing it down.

Honestly, in defense of less information, I'm probably going to turn off damage displayed when I hit an enemy, if that's at all possible. As far as gear and abilities are concerned, it always boiled down to a few optimal builds(with requisite gear) in DII anyway, so what if it doesn't take as long to figure out?

I'm not sure I understand your point.
What I'm talking about is that the skill descriptions don't tell you what they do.
It used to be, for example. Throw axe : Throws a large axe that does 110% weapon damage and slows enemies by 50% for 10 seconds.
Now it's : Throw axe : Throws a large axe.
That's not a precise example since I made up the stats but yeah, to me it's a necessity to have the skill information be up there with no hassle. I haven't had a chance to test if left-control works yet but it's still not something I should have to ask a forum. It's one of the most basic things in the game. Diablo 1 got that right. I'm pretty I can look at old Ultima games (1981) and it still gives you the skill information more precisely than Diablo 3. That's not right.
|
Yeah but the simplified tooltips are atrocious though. For the Monk they don't even explain that the attacks are combos that perform some effects only if you go through the whole chain or that Mantra's provide a short term benefit in addition to the aura.

I had my key long ago, played through it once with barb and got bored halfway with demon hunter. My roommate got his key a couple days ago, so we played it through in co-op - and it's SO MUCH MORE FUN in co-op! Recommending co-op play to people that have keys (and good luck to those that don't have it yet).

Outside of that they only need top system specs to insure an encompassing data pool and to make sure any gamebreaking bugs don't occur with those systems.

I got 2 invites at same time for both my accounts, similar build except 2500k, gtx 580, 8gb ram and ssd. Maybe Blizzard looks at gpu more than others, just my 2 cents.

anyway diablo is alot more relaxing than sc, you never really get pissed in it (except dying in hardcore or getting smacked in pvp). I played sc for 4 years, d2 for 5, and I can definitely say I got more enjoyment from diablo
|
Love how today they had the server down for maintenance, and every time i try to log in, the predicted "up-time" has been pushed back to two hours later. Blizzard: Always true to their reputation

Im jonesing pretty hard from lack of beta! HEEELP I WILL REWARD WITH PRECIOUsses my..... preciousses

So I get into the beta 2 days ago and still can't play T_T. I either get a login error and never loads or it loads but won't start the game.
Such a tease!
|
Has anyone received any invites since the wave? I have 5 accounts signed up and can't be bothered checking them all everyday lol.
|
Just got my beta!!!!!! YAY
i had a little adventure while i was getting lol Turns out when you put your age so you can DL i put my real age because i was so god damn excited like an idiot and it freaking restricted me from downloading it I WAS SO SAD AND MAD AND RAGE lol my friend told me to CALM DOWN delete your history/cookies/cache and it worked so im happy now :3
|
I played the beta today for the first time its like seriously about 15 minutes of gameplay for a 3 gig download not even really worth it. The major issue I had with the game before it came out is the graphics and it looks like its exactly like I thought. It looks like torchlight or warcraft 3 more then a diablo game the graphics just look cartoony. It completely lost the darker more serious tone of the previous 2 games. I will probably still get it but I do not think for me its going to top the previous 2 games. It amazes me how people that played the previous 2 games a lot could not acknowledge or even see the major difference in overall atmosphere between this game and the previous ones.
|
I kind of forgot about the fact that this beta was occurring after not ever getting a key. =(
Now this post reminded me and I'm sad that I don't have one again. So if any of you gentlemen that are somehow rolling around in keys want to share, Id be quite grateful.
|
Just got my beta, DLing it as we speak. Plan to stream it, maybe tonight
twitch.tv/nomicrowin
|
Finally got in and played. Took 2 hours to clear the beta, and I thought it was incredible and a huge improvement over Diablo 2 in every way, at least for the Act 1 starting experience.
The beginning to D2 was just abysmally bad. You start in an unnamed camp with no relevance to anything, and it's full of lifeless NPCs who give you pointless, unconnected quests (hello Den of Evil). You then kill random forest critters by left-clicking on them for 5 hours because the game doesn't actually give you any good skills until you're at least in act 2.
D3, on the other hand, starts you with a sense of purpose in a remade, iconic Diablo location. You kill undead because they're part of the story, not just randomly there for the killing. The quests are linked together, and within 30 minutes you already have a couple useful, class defining skills that make combat pretty fun. As for the atmosphere, there's not a ray of sunshine in sight, the town is under siege, bodies are being piled into carts, etc. If you don't think that's dark and serious, I don't know what to say.
Maybe the rest of the game sucks ass, but Blizzard did a remarkably good job with the first 2 hours, especially compared to Diablo 2.

Act1 was my favourite part of d2. I loved the level design. The quests were loosely connected, but connected nevertheless.
The ultimate goal was to chase Diablo, which requires you to kill Andariel and open the gates of the monastery for the caravan. The other quests are side quests that help you with your quest. Den of Evil is right next to your camp, it makes sense to clear this threat. Blood Raven was corrupted by Andariel. Tree of Infusis and Rescue Cain missions were interlocked, and Deckard Cain is our guide/mentor in defeating the Prime Evils. Retrieving the Malus allows Charsi to imbue an item of our choice, possibly helping you defeat Andariel.
|
^You said it yourself "the quests were loosely connected" that's just bad story telling. Diablo 3 gives you a good intro/beginners stage but also contributes to the story and feel of the game. Diablo 2 was never really about the story imo, it was more like a gothic arcade that you can play with your friends. Can't wait to try the game myself so i can really comment on how the game feels!

|
Yeah, I loved Diablo 2 when it came out, but I think anyone criticizing D3 for not being as good is just letting nostalgia cloud his judgment. It is fair to say that standards have changed, however. Is D3 really 12 years better than D2? Maybe not, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad game either.

We'll have to disagree on whether it is bad storytelling if the quests were loosely connected. Combined with the awesome (especially for that time) cinematics, the quests added a lot to the lore. It was also a fun excuse to explore levels and get bonus skills/stats. I loved listening to the well voice-acted dialogues from all the NPCs and their reactions/advice for each of the various quests.

Seeing how a lot of invites were given to the US recently I might as well post here in case someone got a spare key:
I'm interested if you have a key laying around to try out the beta (via PM), thanks!
|
Still no D3 key for me It seems rather backwards as in Starcraft 2 Beta I had more keys then I knew what to do with. Lol, congrats to the people who got keys though I'm all pumped for up the release.
|
Make sure you're actually checking your B.net accounts and not just looking for an e-mail from Blizzard. Read about 100,000 invites sent out on VG247 just a few minutes ago, checked my e-mail and there was still nothing. I decided to check my account without a lot of optimism, and it turns out that I'm now in the beta. :D
|
Nothing for me either =( expected to be invited by now since I've taken part of several other blizz betas in early stages before.
|
Blizzard hating on EU. All those invites are mostly for US. Sad.
|
got a D3 beta invite
my primary reason for trying it out though is to get an idea of performance, although I might have built a replacement computer by the time D3 officially releases
|
EU here, and I do believe a EU wave will be coming soon (hopefully)... If anyone does have one of those babies, all you need to do is PM me <3
|
yeah i'm also going to put in a desperate plea for a EU beta key, PM me if anyone with spares, i know at least 3 people who want to try the game out and i'll happily share my access with them. if anyone gives me a key, i'll be superhappy with you
|
dam.. it's so hard to have a key lol T___T
I can give HL2 or HL2:EP1 for a key xD (gift via steam)
|
I would be willing to buy and gift a cheap game on steam for a beta key. I also have "Portal" and "Madballs in Babo: Invasion" available to gift.
There's no known game coming out in the near future that I want to play more than diablo 3 (distant second being guild wars 2, followed by HoTS) O.o It destroys me every time I open my bnet account and don't see d3 beta enabled

Blizzard reported on their blog they sent out 100,000 beta invites for NA only atm. EU hopefuly to follow soon
|
I've bought 3 starcraft accounts and still no invite ;(
|
how come blizzard hates SEA so much?! 100,000 beta keys for US alone is a bit too much. It's BETA
BETA!!!

Wow, no invites for me as well.. anyone who wants to be my friend?

They don't, it is a matter of Server placement. This is the main stress test they have been planning for since well, last month (bashiok mentioned it). Beta is done on a single server in the NA, so that is why the 100,000 invites sent out were for the NA.
|
I got 1 beta key from bw, sc2, 2x d2, w3, wow.
Beat it way too quickly =(
|
So does anyone have any superfluous keys? EU doesn't get any love ;(
|
I wonder what the odds rly are of a beta key, cuz some peeps have like 10 accounts. Probably getting close to lotto if u only got 1. If any1 has a extra key/wanna lend for a time, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am so unfortunate with Korean and Eu account and can't do d3 beta We want in Korea diablo 3 too !!!
p.s.if somebody feel in a good mood please for an invite :D
|
Ive just started playing on a friends account who got a key in this wave but doesnt really want to use it. (yea theres people like that too) couple of hours in I havent seen much but Im digging the new skill system already. A lot less headache and more viability.
|
played beta on friend's comp today. seems extremely newbie friendly and overly easy. also, based on what i saw there is actually no thinking in choosing skills and char points.... so, i guess race specific builds are a thing of the past. that is kind of weak.

Its just the beta, besides lets be honest most of the time the only useful building started at higher levels for most classes in d2.. I think the revamp is good, heres a very good example of what Im thinking aswell and this is a really decent well thought out piece by some on the bnet forums (which is surprising)..
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/3988231384
Mind you hes talking about PVE/PVM

Does anyone know anyone outside of North America that has played the beta? I live in NZ and am having trouble connecting using a friends account, I wonder if they have blocked countries outside of NA from connecting?

The comparable beginning of diablo 2 was easy as well >.>
Diablo 2's difficulty doesn't even begin to present itself to the newcomer until nightmare, and not until hell for the seasoned vet. If you have some gear saved up from a higher level alt, it's not actually hard until you're trying to magic find the max bosses. Judging difficulty from the beginning of beta is silly...

Plenty of AU people have beta keys and have played the game. Doesn't make much sense for them to block NZ

Nice..thanks for sharing that, Rebs. I finally got into the beta a few days ago, and I'm absolutely loving the game. I can't wait for the full version to be out. Being a D2 vet, I was worried about how they would make this game, but they have yet to disappoint.

Most of the counterarguments against D3 are from people who are ignorant of the mechanics that occur after 1/3 of Act 1... in the other 95% of the game. Gems and runes are two things we haven't got to play with yet that are supposedly vital parts of customization.
In particular runes look to be basically a replacement for Synergies from D2. You could get Hydra which is usually fire damage and use an Indigo Rune to change it to be Lightning Hydra and then use your new spell+rune with a Lightning Wizard build. That kind of customization is what I find really interesting about Diablo 3, and the lack of it in the beta is why I think the naysayers are jumping to conclusions way too quickly.
The major counterarguments against the reduced customization without stats and the lack of permanence are from hardcore players. These are the type of players who want the initial learning curve to be ridiculously steep and punishing because it increases the separation between them and normal players to insane heights.
However, Blizzard is in the right here, both from a business perspective and from a "pleasing the most fans" perspective. Jay Wilson at Blizzcon said "We want to turn Casual gamers INTO Hardcore gamers" through a very, very forgiving beginning (Act 1 will be a joke, normal difficulty will be very easy) and a very, very punishing end (Inferno). Let's face the facts here: most players don't want to make 5 Wizards to try 5 builds, and they don't want to have to force their friends to level up all their new toons because it takes forever to do it by yourself. They don't want to waste hours upon hours with new characters just to change a skill or rune (D3 terms).
No choice is ever perfect. If Blizzard kept the D2 approach, they'd have problems. If they went for a middle ground, they'd have problems. And in this instance, by catering to the 98% instead of the 2% that want permenance, there of course is a downside: that 2% is going to be upset.
You know what? That's fine.

I think people forget how easy D2 was until Act V of Nightmare difficulty...sure D3 beta is really easy, but if you had half a brain cell D2 wasn't hard until you got to the final difficulty and slightly before then. Diablo himself was a push over and the cheap tricks you could do for easy wins...D3 has impressed me this far and I just got beta invite last wave...can anyone explain what the banner is for? Accidently stumbled upon it during a quest and couldn'tfigure out its use...

In a group everyone's banner is at the town waypoint, and clicking on someone's will teleport you to them. Pressing the g key will show your banner, its just for show. You can customize your banner with rewards from achievements.

This has been there approach for a while now, Easy to learn difficult to master, Granted they messed it up in WOW but that game has run its course anyway. I believe the major complaint for hardcore gamers is not that they want a steep learning curve, they prefer if you have to fight the system and it basically amounts to who can spend the most amount of time playing just the first few months after launch so you are ahead of the curve. Lets face it as hardcore as people like to think they are this is a time investment not every gamer can make. Hardcore should not always mean whoever can play the most. It should in some cases ofcourse you spend more time work harder you earn it, but not always and certainly not for a game post launch.
After a while it gets homogeneous anyway. I didnt played D2 on bnet till 2004 (dial up in the third world lulz) and frankly the second I got cable first thing I did was delete my 30 something barb that was absolute garbage, went on a forum and knew exactly what I had to do.
Similar with wow, things do become cookie cutter eventually. Even with this system it will be harder to keep the variety up. But playing a game should not be a chore, it should be difficult but not unforgiving to the point where you spend 50 hours playing a misclick will potentially destroy your build. And MOST importantly it allows more flexibility for Blizzard to balance things for said variability. It may still not work but it makes it significantly more possible. Because frankly in D2 in most cases it just didnt work.
Additionally atleast base skills you can change on the fly and adapt to situations. The variety with the forging and everything will come later, it is after all barely a bit of act 1.

Thanks! I figured out the town one pretty easily, simple mouseover, but I hit the g key accidently and noticed a banner came down and found it was doing nothing. Guess that's just a little aesthetic they decided to go with to flavor the game...really want my /dance command though...as well as more content...only having the beta key for two days now I've almost finished Overachiever, it'll only take me about 4-5 more hours for a total time of about 13 hours >.<
|
So, after 2 months of not using my e-mail, I log on for a school assignment and there it was - the fiery demon Diablo, offering me access to the long awaited beta.
Aw yea.
Edit: Well, it was Tyreal, but you guys know what i mean ><.

Are we allowed to make trades for d3 beta access? PM me and maybe ill have something you need!
|
I got a D3 Beta invite. I dont feel like playing, is it possible to trade?
|
|
finally got 1
not that great
|
I don't get why Blizzard hates me I didn't get invited to any of their Betas (Friends managed to grab a key for me for SC II, thank god!) Valve won't give me a Dota2 key, Blizzard won't give me a Diablo 3 key.... Is my PC too standard/boring? Is that why they wouldn't pick me?
Anyway, if someone has a spare key I would really love to play the game. Oh, I won't pay for it beacause the very idea of someone using a gift like this to make money off of desperate people just disgusts me.
|
so still no invites for europe :/
|
I got invited like a week ago but I ain't downloading a beta thats how many gigs? For just 15-20 minutes of gameplay. Not worth the time or effort. Sure, I could play all the classes, but its still not worth it. Waiting for it to actually come out. Least I get to be a dick and say I got into the D3 beta but not going to play it

It's about 3.5gigs. I played roughly 5 hrs over 3 classes. I'm not going to bother to even try the other 2. The content is pretty repetitive, seeing as how you don't start from scratch after that first character. Start a new char -> instantly OP from progress of last char. And I've always been a fan of struggling while being dirt poor, I really like that tough money concept.
I'm in the same boat, I'll wait for release now.

Hello,
Since I don't have beta, I would like to make an offer to someone with access, but curently not playing it.
I have Steam account, that i am willing to exchange for BN account with D3 beta avaible for, lets say, one week (one week of D3 beta, my steam account will be avaible for your use for two months, no problem).
Games, that are avaible from my account: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2: Ep. One Half-Life 2: Ep. Two Half-Life 2: Ep. Lost Coast Magicka Portal Portal 2 Team Fortress 2 Total Was: SHOGUN 2
So, again, for one week of D3 beta, I am giving you opportunity to play games gathered on my steam, for two months!
If you are interested, please PM me;)

my birthday was on the 6th and i didnt get a key =[
anyone wanna gimme a bday present??? lol

I wish I could get beta invite...I really want to play it.

I guess I should specify, I'm assuming we all do this on good faith that you wont steal my account? Because it's linked directly to it. I don't play any Blizzard games right now, so you wouldn't need to worry about me kicking you off it, but I don't want to lose it at the same time.
CAN I TRUST YOU TL???

@Psyonic you could trade for something that can't be taken back with that person giving first. For example a game account that doesn't have recoveries on it would work. No need for trust, but then again nothing ventured, nothing gained. Ill trade some stuff for it if you want.

Anyway, as much as I'd want a beta key, I want to be given one myself, not by begging others. Just not the same otherwise.

friend got his invite which he isn't using (as he used another friend's inactive account), so I took it
I will be the devil and just say D3 is overhyped.

You can tell that it's overhyped by playing the first quarter of the first act?

Hey guys- I was wondering if someone would be willing to let me try their D3 beta out? I would be willing to email and discuss some options in private of via text along with exchanging my personal info etc- so you don't feel like you would get ripped off. I just wanna play real bad and am hoping for some help from you guys
Psyonic_Reaver would you be willing to let me use your account and you could text my cell whenever you want on or need it back?

Bah since he doesn't have access to your email there is nothing to lose really. This is how I got to play the beta a few months ago. I traded an item on /r/slashdiablo vs the access to an account.
Sadly the account got banned because to many people all over the world were using it but really D3 beta is only like 1 hour long so you can experience everything in like 5-6h.

Just got in the first wave EU invites! Lucky me.
|
yay i got in the wave of eu invites
|
Read about the EU beta invite wave. Checked account. Back to facebook contest...

no beta yet my life SUCKS
please release the game already, it's clear that my luck blows
|
Got my european beta key yesterday, but the lag was simply unbearable. Dunno if that was due to the game downloading stuff in the background or just horrible servers. gotta check again today when all is downloaded.
|
Game runs like shit if you try to play it before it finishes downloading..

Lol tried this today aswell as yesterday. Spamming f5 like mad, 2 secs after the post was up i tried a key. Got an error. within 10 seconds i had tried 6 more. All taken, needed some mad luck with that.
Also entered like 5 other random smaller contests, nothing so far. And im assuming i wont get in through opt-in with my kind of luck ;E

I'm with you 2 on the vox games T.T
|
I want an invite so bad. T_T No luck so far.
|
well im form latinamerica.. getting a beta seems impossible to me right now...
|
No_eL, same here. Saludos compadre!
|
Purely for research purposes, what are the approximate going rates for beta keys at this time? I am having trouble finding much data [I do not wish to buy]
|
I rented the beta for 24 hours and I had beta-itis hardcore. When I FINALLY get to play the game I am bored out of my mind. I had to force myself to play the other classes through so cure any urges. I really need to find a way to defend myself from getting overhyped. Sc2 was the same way, oh well d3 will be worth it but it's not worth going for every beta key contest. I just wish i did this sooner lol

This is the same shit I do. I get super psyched about games that are coming out, and then get pissed when I can't get in the beta lol. SC2 was doubly bad for me, because I had to buy a new computer to play it too, never been happier though........... cept maybe when I got my dota2 key :p
|
Im sitting here waiting for my key
|
How does one qualify for a beta key? I just wish that I could participate, because the game is taking like forever to be released. T_T
|
Any Brazilian or Portugese who still need beta access?
|
If anyone, can someone invite me for beta access?
my email is: moriya917@gmail.com
Pretty please and thanks you!
|
i want a beta key so badlyTT
if anybody doesnt play anymore, or yust doesnt mind it can you send it to me??
email"sebaspe97@hotmail.com
btw if i am correct multiple players can play on 1 acount right?
|
I wouldn't mind lending my account to someone if they want to try beta, just download the client before hand and send me a pm if you'd like to test them.
Oh, and I won't reply to anyone with new TL accounts
|
^^ Wouldnt your account get banned for multiple users etc?
|
I've participated in many, many beta keys giveaways, all different types, fb types, forum types, raffles, lotteries, competition to write something or create a build and, yeah, I didn't win anything. My e-mail folder is no flooded with spam because I had register my e-mail account each time. So I've turned to internet market witch a chance to buy a key or rent some account time(people do that in Poland), but shit, people are crazy as demand must me crazy as well, beta key goes for around 60-70$, so more then a game itself.... Renting an account is even more expensive 4-5$ a day. Damn You Blizzard !

You are just as bad as Blizzard Blind picking people, keeping them hoping. You are so cruel... And btw, If you have a clean account just with beta I see nothing wrong with it. If You use your real account with SC2 and other games it's not wise this being internet and all

thanks for concern. I have authentication installed btw, so they shouldn't have access to my other games or account.
diablo 3 beta doesn't need one to login

If someone is desperate enough, I'm willing to "trade" my beta access for an authenticator. I don't have a smartphone so the free one is not an option. I don't really want an authenticator, I'm just trying to be nice. You will have full access to the beta via my account for the rest of the beta. You buy me an authenticator so I don't get scammed. If this is against any rules on TL, I'm sorry, delete post or warn/ban me.

not that I have anything against new users, i'm quite new myself. I just don't want people using alts or recently banned

If anyone has played through the beta and would not mind sharing accounts I would love to give it a whirl. I'll gladly trade access to my bnet account, you can even mess up my masters 1v1 ranking :D

I would very much like to try the d3 beta.

I've lost track in my pm, so if anyone still wants to try beta send me a pm.
Send me another one if you had sent me one before but I didn't reply.

Still waiting for a beta key T.T any kind soul who'd want to let me try the beta. My bro and I wagedd for a free week's meal on who will get a beta invite first haha.

Here's how dumb I am. Today i stumbled upon Diablo 3 Beta Client + Server emulator on torrents, while downloading, decided to check my B.net account and found Diablo 3 Beta there. I remember getting an e-mail about it like 2-3 months ago, but I immediately deleted it as phishing, never even thought to check my B.net account at the time.

Used to be able to get old D2 accounts for free, or nearly free and collected a lot of them over the years as friends quit so when blizzard announced they would randomly give sc2 betas to any account with at least 1 game on it, I took all of them and made accounts with 1 game each, ended up with like 4-5 sc2 betas in the first and second week, but no love on D3, good thing I had a GM in wow guild a few years back I still talk to and he gave me a key for D3.

I wish I could give one of you guys my beta invite, I played for about 2-3 hours and the game is honestly not that fun. It's living on hype and the hype will unfortunately make Blizzard many billions of dollars.

I felt the same at first, played around 30hours the first day I got it and then traded it off for some other betas, however this last week for some reason I have the urge to give it another attempt to see if they fixed what made it so boring to begin with.

Even though I also don't play the beta anymore, I've seen most of the content and had a good time/

Just found out today I was invited back on the first of Feb and never checked my battle.net email. Good timing, I just finished Mass Effect 3.

Seriously. The amount of replayability will surge exponentially with more content. We have 1/3 of Act 1, which for me personally already provides so much replayability. I've played easily above 60hours already and I'm still (slightly) delighted every time I see a rare spawn or better, one of the random events.
Now if I imagine there is 12 times that amount of content with huge parts of randomization, I could play this without getting bored ever probably. In the Beta the itemization and story is so limited, that these things don't even factor in that much.
And the 4 different difficulty settings will also add so much. It DOES change the content, as in item drops, monster strength and monster skins.

FUCK YOU BLIZZARD.
Heres a beta invite.
Here's an unknown issue which completely disconnects your network (no, not just the game or my PC.) whenever you try to play said beta.
This has been around months, they havent fixed it and its unplayable.
I guess i wont be playing said beta and relaxing a little.
Honestly, this is being released on the 15th of may and they have issues like this? Ive never heard of a game being able to disrupt an entire network, giant fuck-up's only blizzard are capable of.
|
Here is a question, My friend got a beta invite and i was wondering, can he invite friends? think i read somewhere every beta access gives you 2 keys for friends to play with, maybe im wrong, but he cant find it on battle.net site, whats the answer ?
|
|
Nop he got one , no gifts etc...
|
Dear God I want to try D3 Beta out so bad. I've been playing Diablo since release my favorite game series, If anybody has a spare key or anything they have lying around I would really appreciate it.
|
There are no more keys, only email invites from Blizzard.
|
I got invited but I don't intend to play before the retail version comes out. Too bad I can't "give" it out.

You're Invited: Diablo III Beta Test
Congratulations! You've been selected to participate in the Diablo III beta test.
As a beta test participant, you'll have the chance to check out all five hero classes -- barbarian, witch doctor, wizard, monk, and demon hunter. You'll fight your way through part of Act I and go head-to-skull against the Skeleton King, taking him on alone or cooperatively with other adventurers. You'll also get to meet up with some of the artisans, followers, and other key characters from Sanctuary, and try out the game's skill and crafting systems.
At the same time, you'll be helping us test the stability of the Battle.net® service and fine-tune the game balance prior to launch.
Before you can play, you'll first need to create a BattleTag™ nickname, a new player-chosen handle that will identify you across all of Battle.net in the future -- in other Blizzard games, on our websites, and in our forums. Make sure to choose a name you'll be happy with in the long run. For more information, read the BattleTag FAQ.
We also invite you to share your Diablo III beta experience with the world! All participants can take screen shots, capture video, and/or publicly disclose information about their beta test experience.
We look forward to hearing your feedback, and we'll see you on Battle.net!
Getting Started
1. Log in to Battle.net. 2. Click the "Account" button. 3. Create your BattleTag: Click "Create One Now" under BattleTag in the Account Details section. 4. Click on Diablo III Beta game account listed under "Your Game Accounts". 5. Verify your age. 6. Select Windows or Mac as your operating system to download the beta client. 7. Select "Run" when the installation .exe pop-up box appears.
Note: Your participation in the Diablo III beta test is governed by a Beta Test Agreement that you are required to accept before you can install the beta client.

Got my invite yesterday, liking the beta though it's a bit on the short side.
|
I would love a beta key but have had no luck getting one myself. If anyone has a spare invite I would be very grateful for one. Thanks <3
|
Finally received an invite as well and already feeling sleep deprived because I couldn't stop playing. I have to say I'm looking forward to release day even more now.
|
Can anyone share a key with me? or share the account info with me? i would like to play the beta. (i can use it whenever the owner is speeling or w/e).
PM me ty
|
Same for me. Btw Im really busy studiying AND working, I dont have that much time to play, so if any of you would be enough nice to let me play I would really be grateful ! Since Im quite a hardcore player and will be more free this summer I intend on giving very nice loots once the game is released to the one who will be enough friendly for trusting me
|
Stop begging, game is almost out.
|
So they are sending the keys to random emails?
|
I was never sent an email, but when i just looked at my account on battle net i saw something i didnt before. It says Battle tag, and that i can create one, and when clicking create one now it says "Right now, you only need a BattleTag to play the Diablo III beta or post on the beta forums."
Sooo, does this mean i can play diablo 3 beta if i have the client downloaded orrr..meaningless?
|
there are plenty of people renting out beta accounts if you really want to play it

Can you be banned to share CD-keys? How to prevent that? Maybe being from the same city? (beside not sharing it.)

I have a steam account with Dota 2 access(it only has dota 2 on it). Anyone interested in sharing your bnet account with Diablo 3 beta access? I'll give you access to the dota 2 account in exchange.

It's pretty easy to check logs and see that at 1pm you logged in for California, then at 1:05pm of the same day you logged in from Canada and it generally trips the security options on your bnet accounts locking it and sending you an email to verify that it is you.

And then asking people for money for those keys is real fucking shady, and if I'm not mistaken, completely against Blizzard's policy that you agree to (not to mention, makes you a colossal dickhead). I should turn your info over to Blizzard. Instead, I'll give you a simple GTFO.

dear god or blizz gimme a key ,i dont want to be a noob when its released....
|
I pray for a key every day I look at my screen saver. I just bought a new PC for D3.
|
looking to trade my diablo 3 key. please PM me with serious offers
|
I really hope another wave of keys comes out before release! =D
|
Yeah seriously, I don't want to go into the game like a complete newb!
|
Anyone like me actually don't want a beta key just because I want to be completely surprised by the game? I've even avoided streams and youtube videos. Only things I know are the stuff they release on print and small bits and pieces of the skill calculators.
|
I got my D3 beta invite last night and it looks like another wave has gone out. Check your email and/or Bnet accounts and see if you got anything.
|
I hope that I would get my Beta invite some day. Seems very unlikely now since they announced the release date and such

Yeah, I seem to gravitate toward that same feeling. The closer we get to the actual release date the less I want a key. I want to be taken by storm and experience it first hand when it's released. I also tend to keep reading about gameplay as little as I can keep myself to. I'm excited though!
|
Hey I was wondering if anyone knows any sites that are having beta key giveaways... all i have found are old ones from February and early March.. thanks in advance
|
hey i was wondering if i could borrow a diablo 3 beta account. Im guessing this thread you cant say "i will pay you" so I wont offer money, and i wont scam you just wanna see how well comp runs it!

i got my beta awhile ago sometime in march/febuary. The beta was really fun gj blizzard can't wait for the full release.

Feel like I am the only one in the world that doesn't have beta access.

Come on you sound like you want to make other people jelous. It took me 1h 30mins to play through the beta and while it was ok i cant really say that this is a real beta or something awesome. Its more like a 2-5hour demo of the game..

2-5 hour? there's 45 minutes of gameplay if you stretch it out enough. it's not very fun in its current state either, but i am hoping it gets better at higher levels.

Well i thought it was fun But its really just a teaser of about 1hour.. If you test crafting and stuff maybe u can drag it out 4-5 hours thats what a friend told me, i m not into crafting and that shit :/

got mine today after 4 month of cheking my account....(Germany here)
dont give up

Every time this thread is bumped I go and check my B.net account to find no beta

I spent around 35 hours in the beta and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I just want moar . The only class that isn't as enjoyable as the others for me is the witch doctor.

I haven't spent a minute in the Beta

^Neither have I, but no worries, it's coming out in one month almost!
|
I wonder what the percentage chance of getting an invite is (course its kind of a mute point now), but it would be interesting to know.
|
Because I want to play the beta really bad (can't wait a month D: ) I need to win this : 4 Keys for every of the winners, because I only need 1 I'd share the rest of them. Would be nice if u vote for me : [mod edit: nope]
User was warned for this post
|
Blizzard is sending out a batch of 275000 invites.
I got mine at last :D
|
|
I'm hoping too Blackrobe.... I don't know how to respond anymore. Dota2 Beta solves though....I might actually not even play D3 we'll see. A beta will definitely change my mind.
|
you should consider refreshing your technical specs. mine had an error in internet speed because it was blocked by a firewall the first time, so blizzard read it as me having 1.2kb/s download speed.
|
Forever no beta.
You know you're not the luckiest guy around when the beta gets 275k new players but you aren't one of them.
|
OH MY GOD!!! I RECEIVED A BETA FINALLY~~~~!!!! YAY!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! So happy! :D!!!!

Congrats Raithed! GODDDDD SO JEALOUS! Its my facking BIRTHDAY and if I don't get into the beta.... will just feel like a kick in the nads. Have fun, I still have my fingers crossed!

Also, just check your BNET account and not email - I did not receive an email, I just checked my BNET and it was there, right under my D3 preorder!

Honestly, I never get invited to any God damn beta events and normally I really don't care. I was lucky enough to get into Dota2 (thanks to Bumblebee) but Diablo has been my favorite gaming franchise ever since I entered the gaming world. I was a slight gamer before that, but Diablo was truly the era of integrating both game experience, and online experience. This is where I truly wasted years in both Diablo 1, and Diablo 2 Classic + LOD. Forever No D3 Beta. Solace to me, that the release is in about a month.

Still no beta, gotta continue using friend's account then

at least i won't be the only d3 virgin when the game launches... no beta, no borrowed access....
the downside is, i'm not even going to fuck with HC (which is the biggest reason I loved diablo 2...) until i get familiar with the game in SC first....

How do you keep playing beta? I mean I got bored of it after 1 week, tried all the classes, maxed out artisan, there was nothing left to play except grinding Leoric over and over. Blizzard should have released some new content in beta at least like low level pvp.

no beta, i wanna cut myself right now, I made the mistake of preordering, now I see the installer on my desktop and I cry every time
|
^I pre ordered to without a beta </3
|
just received a beta. Already bought the game. Was not expecting it at all.
Show time.
|
Just got beta, already had beta client downloaded waiting AND IT WONT LAUNCH. re-downloading
|
no beta, 3 accs, one preordered *sad panda*
|
I honestly thought that the beta was done, so when I saw gametrailers reporting that Blizzard gave out beta keys, I checked, and surprise, it was there. xD I even preordered it too.
|
Signed up for the beta ever since you could do so, still nothing. So sad QQ
|
Got into beta as well, played for about 5 min then got dc'd..think servers might be down but going to check again now

Those who don't have beta, you are not missing out at all. I'm falling asleep here treading the dungeon spamming 1 button. All that hype, massive letdown thus far.
|
Got the beta 1 month before the real thing came out. Hm. It's a new game and the atmosphere seem to be a bit lighter than its predecessors. That's my impression.
Played for 30 min on one hand.

There's a DirectX filter that makes the atmosphere of the game darker and sharper. Blizz hasn't said whether this graphical improvement is a "3rd party program" or not, so be careful. However, the game looks much more stunning with the filters on.
+ Show Spoiler +
|
More than a quarter million invites and still no beta. :O
I kind of want it to be fresh and new for release anyhow, but I'm worried my computer won't run the game very well.

I got the SC2 beta like 24 hours before it went down. Looks like I won't be so lucky this time.

It's kinda frustrating. They must have sent out close to a million beta keys now yet neither myself nor any of the fellow gamers I know in Germany and the EU in general has gotten one, and few people actually know someone who did. But hey, just another episode in their long history of treating EU gamers with indifference,
|
they never gave out keys for europe, the european with access bought the key or got invited because they know anyone whos working for blizzard
|
Well valve has made up for the no beta love from blizzard, and sent me both dota and cs:go keys(guess at this point almost everyone has a dota beta key), so not really missing d3 that much, and from what people are saying, those two keys are more worth it than d3 beta. I logged into steam after like 2 years or so, whereas bnet I use almost every day.
|
I don't understand why they are still sending so many keys to US players and almost none to EU. They're going to need to stress test EU servers as well at some point, right?

To all the guys that are mad that they did not get a beta key - don't be. I got to play it from a friend's acc and as you've probably heard already - it's really short AND really easy.
The term "beta" is completely wrong here. It's actually more of a tutorial or a demo version. It's no more than 1.5 hours of gameplay before you reach the end, and after a few runs of the skeleton king it gets very boring.
So, bottom line, you're not missing much at all, the real deal will be May 15th, I can't wait too

FUCK SHIT YES I GOT A BETA KEY FINALLY OH MY GOD.
yees (:

just got the beta - quick question:
i'm 45% through the download, past the playable point, and the PLAY button is still greyed out\ is playing through the downloader not implemented yet?

That is not very accurate. The terms used in describing the game are primarily focused on the goal of the game. That is what differentiates between Demo and Beta; the goal determines which is being used. That is why it is considered a beta and not a Demo. The tutorial aspect is more explaining the difficulty (or lack of) for the game.
The beta is very dependent on the person, whether it is fun or not. I know (including myself), who have played many hours of the beta. Granted, I have also been able to see the development of the game from beginning of beta. Playing the beta is nice in getting the experience of runes, blacksmithing, and general feel of the skills. The sort of thing that is better to understand from playing than reading online.

You can press play while the client still downloads the other stuff, it won't affect your game play. Just wait till the play button is light up.

Seeing at is also beta, the Download and Play system probably is not the best. It will most likely be better once the game is released. I know with WoW, I did the annual pass. I played for 7 days and by the end of it, the game still had not finished (but played it just fine). Must give Blizzard props, it is a pretty nice system.
|
playing beta on hardcore without items is tons of fun honestly, especially with the monk
|
Would anyone care to send me an invite? I've watched almost every playthrough. I am so excited to play this dang game.
|
Any chance to still get a beta invite these days? I'm not desespere, but 28 days 'till release seems Eternity
|
seems like there is a chance, after reading this thread again i checked my account and found my beta invite... didnt even get an email notification, cant be older than 3 days tho....
|
I'd have to second Tisp's notion, as I, too, would enjoy an invitation to the beta! Just send me a PM.
|
Stupid question probably , but how do i apply for a beta 3 key officialy on my bnet account? Also are there any other sites that are still giving them out? thx

No more keys only invites from Blizzard. You have to have you beta profile set up in your bnet account and upload your system specs, the rest is all waiting.
|
Will getting the beta invites work on free accounts ? That is, I havent really had a wow subscription so my account is kinda empty, except for the wow starter. Will I be eligible for the beta ?

make a battle.net account and sign up for the beta opt-in and you have a chance, you don't have to have a WoW subscription (or own any blizzard games period i dont think)
|
|
Edit.: wow diablo beta public??
|
So anyone can log into the beta atm, as long as you have a battle tag battle.net account. As far as I can see there's no confirmation as to whether this is a bug or a true open beta yet...
|
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaank you for that link, works fine for me :D
|
they fixed the open beta...... its back to closed sigh. i just wanted to try it for 5 minutes lol. anyone have a spare d3 beta key?!
|
i am willing to share [not trade] a dota 2 account with a D3 beta account,if interested pm me.
|
yeah im still waiting for a beta key damn open beta whets your appetite and then you have to stop playing! I was working all weekend got 1 char upto lvl 13 on Monday.
|
i missed the beta weekend and kinda free atm so anyone can give me a hand on playing the beta would be very much appreciated :D

I only got to play for one stint of like 4 hours, then I worked two double shifts the rest of the weekend. I know how you feel. I've also had Diablo 3 pre-installed since the beta-download links leaked. And Blizzard still doesn't invite me. Not SC2, not D3, nothing.
I still semi-kinda-sort-love-blizzard. They're driving their community into the ground with this activision BS IMHO.
