Diablo III [OFFICIAL THREAD]

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4612389/Test-3_16_2012

Game's coming out May 15th.

Timing on it basically guarantees I won't be getting it for a good long while 😛

(also, can I just laugh at what BackFire said about how they stole GW's skillbar mechanic? Blizzard's just blatantly copying them now...which is doubly funny being as ArenaNet was started by people who left Blizzard...)

It's about freaking time. The development cycle was getting a little ridiculous even by Blizzard standards.

Watched some gameplay on it, I'm sold. I think I'll go home and play some Dark Alliance now..

Oh i forgot i'm not allowed to have a say on this forum.....

I hate BS DRM as much as the next guy, but D3 is just too much to resist.

Yeah, companies are pushing their stupid DRM, but there's just no way I'm passing up Diablo 3. 🙂

Anyone jumping into the multiplayer as soon as they get started on the game? Looking for ppl to grp up with (pref from Asia).

Anyone in beta know if D3 right now? How's the game looking?

There's an open beta going on this weekend, but it's nearly impossible to actually get logged on. Every time you try, there's a good chance the server will throw you right back out entirely.

It's a bit annoying, to say the least. I wanted to at least try it to see just how similar to D2 it is, but it won't let me.

It must be easier after you've gotten in once, because I just just jump right in whenever I try now.

I managed to get on it for a while, but then it proceeded to kick me three times within five minutes after I'd played for about an hour.

...the game is Diablo 2 with different classes and somewhat upgraded graphics.

It's pretty cool IMO

I never played the other ones though

By the way, how big was the download for you guys?

What exactly were you planning to do, install it across 50 computers?

That's good though, right? Or is it not enough of a change?

To justify paying $60 for? Hell no. I mean, the game itself is good...it's just the same thing I played a ton already.

It's about 4GB, I think. You can start playing when it's halfway through.

That's a little odd. I've heard people say it was well over 10GB for them. For me it was around 3GB.

I've got a question for anyone in the open beta. Does the real-world currency AH work for you?

EDIT: Eh, nevermind.
