So after trying diablo 3 beta what do you think will you buy it?

What do you guys think i know the beta and short but the game to me is very well set up and ontop of that the chat system seems excellent the multiplayer works nice and the classes seem very different fun to play around with. The only thing people are complaining about is the graphics and voice chat support. To me the graphics don't need to be top notch the gameplay itself makes up for it. So tell me what you guys think of the game will you get it day 1 buy or will you guys wait. Day 1 for me.

my only major complaint is how unstable the servers are. blizzard took them down for maintenance at least twice and it crashed (and stayed crashed) during almost all of saturday. from what i've heard european players were having a hard time logging in. and at least twice i had serious lag that almost got me killed (as in "my arrows won't fire and the enemies are not attacking. suddenly, my whole screen is red).

aside from that, amazing game, definitely going to be playing day 1.

I preordered it the day they made it available. I'm pre-downloaded and ready for 5/15. :)

Pre-ordered my CE in November. Still waiting excitedly for the 15th.

Outside of the graphics (which I thought were great, outside of the monk putting his weapons away to attack..) there are some serious concerns about the game play when it comes to choice.. But yet again the beta really shows nothing of this because its over too quickly.. It would be like me playing Diablo 2's first two quests, Den of Evil and Blood Raven, and some how judge the game from there.. Which I know from my experience of the game in no way represents the majority of the game what so ever..

Been waiting over a decade for this game so yeah, I'm pretty excited. Pre-ordered the CE about 2 months ago.

I just preordered the last CE in a 100 mile radius of where I live :D

Absolutely, already pre-ordered it, my most anticipated game on the PC this year so far. I'm primary an online gamer so this continues my fun of the past two Diablo games.

Can't wait.

The game was a definite buy until I played the beta... now I'm not so sure, so I'm mulling it over. Not only has it disappointed me on a few levels, it also doesn't seem to run that great on my system. It wouldn't be enjoyable playing through the whole game with stuttering.

It got me interested in the genre again, though.. I've been playing Diablo 2 and Torchlight today.

hey,

do i have any chance in hell of getting ahold of the beta or is it just a matter of luck?

After playing the beta I think I'll get it. Never played the first two games but liked what I saw with the beta.

The two main things that bothered me are the lack of character development and the skill selection/hotkeys.

There is no permanence to any of your character choices aside from your class and gender, which is one of the things I enjoy about ARPG's in general; building unique characters and seeing what works or not. Now you can spend a couple minutes and completely change your character's skill and rune loadout anywhere, as many times as you want.

Regarding the skill selection and button assignment, I honestly have no idea what they were doing with D3. You have like.. four hotkey slots, and each one is unlocked at a certain level. And then your left and right mouse buttons can be assigned. But you can't set hotkeys to easily switch between your left and right mouse buttons like you could in D2. And i feel that you SHOULD be able to, because some skills are clearly designed to fight groups and some designed for single targets.

So the only way to go about reassigning the hotkeys is opening up the skills menu, but when you change the skills it resets the timer on them. So due to the inherent design of this game, it's extremely difficult to juggle multiple skills.. just because they wanted it to be that way, I guess. It's mind-numbing trying to understand the reasoning behind this.

I liked the beta, but I'm waiting to see if any of my friends get it first.

Here's your reason

I think I might not buy it. *shocked* I can't believe it. But it seems really dumbed down in the character progression and unless you're completely obsessed with collecting virtual items in a dungeon crawling grindfest, this game really has nothing new or better to offer than then other two.SKaREO

Yeah I was reading up on that a bit earlier. Just sounds like introducing more arbitrary game mechanics to have the game play their way instead of how you want to play it.

I just did a clean install a month ago. This installer issue is ALL OVER THE DIABLO 3 technical forums. I'm not the only one. Why do you always make it out like my PC has issues all the time? BF3 runs great for me right now but others are having a ton of issues. So what then? I suggest going to diablo 3 forums. Agent application is giving people a ton of issues, even people who were playing in the closed beta, even people who are pre-downloading the game with their pre-order digital cd-keys..... it's NOT just me...

It's not every time. I "had" issues with two games. SWTOR and Killing Floor. And BF3.. well, that's like at least 50% of the BF3 population that had and has technical problems. TWO games man. TWO.

I absolutely hate it when people generalize and blame it on user error when it's clearly a widespread problem. I would take full blame if I was being an idiot and not reading instructions. But it's clearly Blizzards fault. Like I said, head over to the technical forum at Diablo 3 battlenet.

SWTOR was the same with connection issues. It's obvious till this day EA can't get their **** together and their servers suck.

The BETA is the thing that got me hyped (was trying not to hype or care about it till the actual release), I've been playing it a lot this month and I've already spent more time on this beta than I spend on other 50 (euro - friggin seriously? Gamespot doesn't even support other currencies now, how messed up will this forum get, technically...) games, so technically, I've more than covered the enjoyment and 60 (euro) price with the beta alone.

No, I will spend my money on Baldursgate when it is finished.

much more atmosphere

I'm actually enjoying the beta a lot, but I'm going to stop playing now because I don't wnat to burn myself out before release. Also, I found this shader mod really good. Sharpness feature makes everything crips and clear and not a blurry mess that it was before. :D

Automatic buy and I may just cancel playing Tera and just play Diablo 3 so that way I don't have any subscription to any game. I have preordered the CE for Tera but I think I may just forget about it even though I think it is an improvement in mmorpgs in terms of combat. Heck I can still play GW2 for an mmorpg and will not have to pay fees so ...

Didn't play the beta because I didn't feel like wasting 15GB to play for 2 days.

But I'm definitely buying it as I love this type of game and judging from the gameplay I've seen it looks great.
