http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4963739/Diablo®_III_Open_Beta_Weekend-4_19_2012 In case you all didn't know, there is an open beta this weekend. You can still play it until tomorrow 1 am Eastern time.
Yeah mines just finishing download, will give it a try then play it when it's released on the 15th or w/e.
Played like 20 mins as Sorcerer, was fun. Ice beam thing is pretty satisfying. Loyal to D2 in certain ways definitely, some good features too, like you pick up gold when you run over it, don't have to click it. Will see how online plays out, I imagine I'll only play it with friends as playing with strangers seems pretty anti social.
I didn't want to play it because I just want the full game and not an hours worth of game play. I'm pretty sure I'll only be playing with JWB & friends, because playing dungeon crawlers with strangers is as you said pretty anti social.
Well just wanted to try it really, also just downloading and playing it helps Blizzard stress-test the game, providing a more smooth launch, which is never a bad thing. Also I think you got the whole first act in the beta, not sure, but that's several hours I think.
Now that the game has been released, how are people finding it? Also did anyone here buy boxed copies?
It's fun when you can play, been a ton of server issues. They've already brought it down twice for maintenance which has taken at least 3 hours. One of my friends wasn't kicked during the first maintenance and he managed to make it to act 2. I've only been able to play for maybe 2 hours.
Got it free with Warcraft so ye. Ain't played it yet, been painting all day - apparently not missing much due to all the server issues, but will get round to it!
