just in case anyone is f5'ing their e-mail.. I didn't receive my invite until 4:35PM last week. hopefully some more of you guys will get in - these co-op achievements ain't gonna unlock themselves..
speaking of.. has anyone been able to unlock "Mind on the Metal"? is it for handing the blacksmith plans or what? got him up to level 4, crafted several pieces and I haven't been able to trigger it. also been super unlucky with plan drops this time around..

I haven't seen a single plan drop, but I've only gotten my blacksmith up to level 2, so who knows.
It is for the plans that drop. I have not got a single plan drop myself, despite finishing most achievements. That is one of the few I am missing, also need to ressurect a WD

Are you US region or Europe.
Yeah I really like those. I hope theyre more accessible in the final game - a sort of bestiary if you will (complete with animated 3d model of the monster!)
US, also have a WoW sub that has been dead for months in case that eases anyone's mind.. certainly didn't think they'd pick me because of that, haha.
Ah, figures. Well, I would take a release date instead!
On beta patch 5 I was finding the plans for apprentice boots every single SK run.
Never was one. There was kind of an NDA a few months back.
Just received my beta invite. Completely forgot I signed up for it. Hopping on my other computer to download it now

I got it to run on a MacBook (not pro) from 2009 on lowest settings and resolution at a playable framerate. It's not stellar, and it chugs when there's a lot going on, but it runs.

Strange question; If you're going to run Diablo 3 on a computer using XP, does it require that you have SP3? I know you need to have SP2 if you want to run it on Vista. But SP3 is kind of optional for XP users.
What spec PC's are people playing with? I am interested to see how low you can really go.
I so wish it would run on my NC10.
i5 2.5 GHz turbo 2.8 GHz
ati mobility radeon hd 5650
4gb ram
win 7 64x
1360x768 full screen
everything high(except medium shadows), cluster distance and quaninty max, anti-aliasing(was called FSAA pre patch).
It moves smoothly and if there are many things happening on screen (like the room with four pillars), it bacomes slideshow for a while (but nothing crazy or without options to fine tune that - hence the clusters).
edit: lol,
I am in the beta since patch 3(4) - still crossing fingers for you guys! It is a blast to replay!
Also lol at this year since I have never been in any beta before and this year, man... SWTOR client is waiting at home to install.

I'm on a pretty low end machine...though it's better than the one I had a few weeks ago.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ at 2.0 GHZ
2 gigs of RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4800
Windows 7 32x
I run the game, but not very well. It runs smoothly unless there is a lot going on at once, at which point it's a slide show. Have some freezing/blue screen issues but that might be due to the age of this computer and it might be going bad >.<.
My old computer was even worse but it died before I could get into the beta.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
1 ½ days progress with Corkys account :lol all beta achievements = achieved... except for those that are bugged (10k gold, 50 elite kills). I've got like 40k gold and 300 elite kills ._.
So basically, up to level 13, this is what I think of the classes:
PVE - The funnest
1. Barbarian
2. Demon Hunter
3. Sorceress
4. Witch Doctor
5. Monk
The best
1. Demon Hunter
2. Sorceress
3. Barbarian
4. Monk
5. Witch Doctor
Which class I think will end up being "the best" in 1v1
1. Sorceress
2. Monk
3. Demon Hunter
4. Witch Doctor
5. Barbarian

haven't gotten any of the classes to level 13, but I've been through the beta at least once with all the classes, and I've been super surprised at the WD. I didn't think I'd like him at all, and I'm actually starting to like him more than almost every other class. His skills feel just a hell of a lot more unique than the others. I've found I like DH and wizard the least, and Barb the most, with the WD coming in at a close second.
Oh, and what the hell is the deal with the monk's attack animations not having anything to do with the rare Daibo I equipped him with? I was expecting some bo staff twirling action, and instead I get the same punch elbow kick animations.

Yeah I have no doubts that you got the achievements
Just saying that with the latest patch, the 10.000 gold and 50 elite kills can get bugged.Mine is bugged, since I obviously got 5k gold the first 5 hours of play... and now I'm up at 20 hours
This right here. I kept using the doggies instead.
yeah, can't stand the "short-range-random-ass-trajectory" skills that a few characters have. maybe with some runes they'll become more useful? anyways, my standard witch doctor layout is Haunt/Grasp of the Dead/Zombie Dogs and Fire Bomb. crazy AoE capability. might drop the zombie dogs for something else since I've been playing with randoms so much lately.
oh yeah.. does anyone know if the +5% chance to summon a zombie dog passive stacks (meaning you can summon more than 3) with the move? or is it meant to semi-replace it? I had it equipped for a bit but never saw a fourth, 5% is a pretty low chance though.

I forgot... are the beta servers region-based?
Anyone wanna help me with the Life Saver-achievement? I did every class except for Monk yesterday... woke up today, saw that the progress was gone

I get 178ms from au
I've played every class to at least 9-10ish... I want to max them but I'm sick and having a hard time getting on the computer. Don't have a patch 6 Witch Doctor but that's next after I get 10,000 gold and 50 elite kill achievements.
What surprised me is I have found every class to be fun. I honestly didn't think I would care for the Demon Hunter or Witch Doctor but I love them both, along with the Barbarian, Wizard and Monk which I knew I would love anyway.

Yeah, I somewhat agree. The classes I thought would be boring to play (baba and demon hunter) turned out to be my two favorite classes.
But I've always thought that the monk sucked ass. Ever since the reveal (and the mad-saltyness over the paladin). And they still suck.
Witch Doctor's Firebats is pretty awesome until you accidentally enable the bug that drains your mana and disconnects you from the world except for the chat. There are several other conjure type skills that do it like the Wizard's Electrocute.
I made a detailed write up and put it on the beta bug forum since others that had talked about it never really gave step by step instructions for recreation.
I write up a lot of issues for my job and writing up bugs for the sequel to my favorite game is pretty fun!

I like dropping grasp of the dead on top of stuff crawling out of the ground and them not being able to get far.
