Biggest issue I have at the moment is the massive hitboxes, they really should just make the models themselves hitboxes instead so you can maneuver better in between masses of monsters.
Otherwise game is plenty fun, the beta is sadly short (and easy as expected, blizz's early parts of games always are), I'll be smashing some demon face after launch with my friends for sure, unless something unexpected happens.

Umm, do you have any idea how much harder it is to calculate collisions with complex shapes? They could make the hitbox rectangles smaller, but suggesting they make the models themselves hitboxes just means you're lagging down the whole system for very little gain.
The above post was made by a noob. Take it as such.

One word. Consoles. That's why the hitboxes are enormous. So that Console player X can just move the stick in that general direction over the pack of monsters and it'll "autoaim" onto each specifc monster. I've religiously held shift since D2 came out but, even I sometimes get owned when I click on a clearly empty spot next to a monster and magically I fire at it. It's really stupid.

It said it would be down for 30mins, but it's been way over that now. Maybe I missed an announcment, but does anyone have a rough ETA on when it's back online?

Servers came back up and people were logging in and in games. Then about 5-10 minutes ago they went back down. I myself managed to get in a game but, only for about 5 minutes before servers crashed again. It was smooth except for the last minute with huge lag spikes and then BOOM, servers down.

Really though, how often have you not been able to play on Bnet because it was down? Over 1.5 years of SC2 I think I've seen it down perhaps once or twice. This open beta is a stresstest, it was supposed to have issues.
Almost every Tuesday morning (from 5 PDT to 11 PDT ish) Battle.net is down... So because you don't see it happen every week, you imply that it almost never happens. <3 your fantasy world, I wish I could hop into it
so bnet is down to fix the problems but the hour before it went down everything was working fine... i guess because people stopped trying to log on or the ones already on logged off in anticipation of the servers going down... oh blizz you and your server troubles always crazy.

We're doing a pretty good job crashing servers.
I've just managed to get into a character selection screen with access to chats, but unable to join a game. As I tried to create another character I got kicked out

He probably wants a real beta key and not just these "Try to log on, play 5 min then get dropped" keys.
