So I'm playing the Diablo III beta RIGHT NOW (just got in)

So if you guys have any questions about anything at all, feel free to ask. I'll tab back to the boards every so often to answer some stuff.

Now... ONWARDS TO DEMON SLAYING.

The Diablo 3 beta doesn't have a NDA?

I'm definitely not a Blizzard or a Diablo fan but their not having a NDA for beta is pretty impressive.

Did you get the invite from your email inbox or your spam inbox?

How are the controls? With using the numbers and such?

Well I guess my main concerns for the game right now are these:

• Is it too easy? (Apparently the beta section is supposed to be super easy though, so not a fair judgement)
• Is the world/dungeon as complex and explorable as DII was?
• How is the music?
• How is only having four players max?
• And finally (not a good question for a beta) how is the auction house?

I am a bit worried about the difficulty and the auction house (real money section) and such in this game. I LOVE DII, but these things are kinda scaring me a bit lol.

I thought I got in (just checked) because it shows Diablo III (coming soon) under "Your Game Accounts", but I dont see anyway to play or DL. I am guessing everyone sees this and it means nothing?

Waiting for my beta key as well..These many many years of waiting and waiting lol..Hey they claim there is no pause button is this true..Did they fix this..Im hopeful they did..One guy complained he went to answere his door an he died..That part is kind of lame and im hopeful they add the pause button in at least for the single player game..

D3 is my most anticipated game for the PC next year. :)

Just click on my Xfire ID for my specs. I have a strong system. At max settings I never saw the framerate drop below 55fps. It's a uniquely beautiful game and runs smooth as butter. NAPK1NS

There is no NDA because the beta only has about the first hour or two of the game (1/3 of Act 1) so there are very few spoilers and Blizzard has said they have actually made the beta end before the first major spoiler.

The difficulty of the beta is pretty easy because only normal difficulty is available and again it's only the first 1/3 of Act 1 so as Blizzard as said, "you're playing through the tutorial essentially."

This is like the one game I care about so I'd be glad to answer any more questions or if you'd like to hear it from the horse's mouth, head over to the D3 forums. :)

I get the feeling you really just wanted to tell people to releive yourself of that weird excited feeling. Anyway, enjoy.

To my knowledge all blizzard betas do not have an NDA.

So has anymore been added to the beta besides the essential tutorial section?

[QUOTE="NAPK1NS"][QUOTE="realguitarhero5"]What makes it good?

It's their way of avoiding so many people getting scammed and hacked by visiting 3rd parties sites. They take the "teenagers are getting pregnant give them condoms" approach vs the "the teenagers are getting pregnant tell them to stop giving in to urges" approach (which doesn't work)

How are the skill trees? Do you have a lot of customization via runes in the Beta? Does there appear to be a build that will become very popular and over-used, or is there enough variety in there + rune customs to make it so you never see the same character twice?

What class are you playing as? Is Demon Hunter totally awesome :P?

[QUOTE="realguitarhero5"][QUOTE="NAPK1NS"]It organized very well. It's kept outside of the actual game space. If you want to browse it you'll have to visit the main menu. There's so many filters you can basically find anything you need with ease. You can ever search the AH with items filtered for that specific character. You also have a lot of funds to shop around since you gold is now just a value that is shared among all your characters. A nice addition. GummiRaccoon

So does anyone know whats up with my games list having Diablo III under it? I dont see a way to DL it or play, and am assuming it is just there for everyone, and not actually the game.

[QUOTE="realguitarhero5"]But it's still basically taking something that is against the rules in WoW and making it legitimate in Diablo III...realguitarhero5

Yikes. If you think that Skill Trees are in Diablo III you may want to treat yourself to a little reading. [QUOTE="ChubbyGuy40"]

You lucky dog! I've been checking my account once a day hoping to get in but no luck so far. I will still keep checking, but I'm beginning to think I won't get a chance to try out the beta. Hopefully, the game is on track for early 2012.

Favorite classes so far?

Haha man I hate you BETA guys.. I'm so jealous. :(

One more question, are there larger numbers of enemies on screen/in the area? Due to the player limit at 4, are there more or less enemies than in normal areas in D2? Do you see combat getting incredibly hectic especiallyat Inferno difficulty? Sorry if that's a confusing question.
