Frieza, where are you ?
Female Wizard design and voice is part of my agony for choosing a class :|
I've been reading that there is basically no death penalty. You don't even have to go back to find your corpse. I actually never died in the beta so I was never able to test this out but it seems strange. They're changing a lot of features that were part of the Diablo franchise.

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Co-op. Why would I waste my time playing SP?
That just means you're going to have to play a lightning/fire wizard then.
What? is this true?
Your "not as good" examples are just from a different (more unexperienced?) artist clearly. And it's the first time I've seen them actually.
In beta there was no penalty except for losing durability on items. You friend could also revive you on the spot.
Well, at death they remove 10% durability of your equipped items (at least in inferno. I'm not sure if that's consistent through all difficulties). Considering how large of a factor gold is going to be, this can be a rather large gold sink as the developers expect us to die frequently in Inferno.
I'd like to save that gold personally, and it's a lot better than making myself quit the game and rejoin or do that silly dance to get my corpse back.
From what I remember in the beta, it was respawn back at the last Checkpoint and a durability hit. Don't think there's a corpse run anymore.
Definitely.
Death penalty is 10% durability damage.
Apparently repairs start costing a shit ton of gold in later levels. This has the bonus of making gold valuable. Woo.

Am I missing something? Is there some trailer going to happen at 100%? Where do you see this?
I'm pretty sure some of those latter wallpapers are fan art. Also, I don't really feel like the final product that we've been playing in the beta is that far off from the pieces you like.
Both. I will start with sp, but start over with a new charachter when a friend wants to play coop.
For sp I will go with WD for my first run and for coop it will be Monk.
I doubt it. I died once during the beta weekend to see how getting ressurected by your team works. We didn't test what would happen if no one was there to res you, but I don't think Blizzard would take getting your corpse back out of the game.
I think it's the Animated Diablo short by Peter Chung and Titmouse that was talked about in a recent video.

There's no corpse run, you start at the last checkpoint.
A, uh... friend of mine died in the beta.
What a god send, now I have my spare monitor always on this page auto refreshing and work on the other.
So is the Guest Pass different from the Starter Edition? I'm guessing the Guest Pass is exactly like SC2's in that it's 7hours or 14days of complete access while the Starter Edition is the free version launched down the line that will cap you at a certain level.
Game is too hard
Personally I like all of the designs, but my preferences are:
Demon Hunter Male > Female
Barbarian Male > Female
Monk Male > Female
Witch Doctor Male > Female
Wizard Female > Male
If you die, you restart at the last checkpoint and you take 10% durability damage.
REPAIRS ARE EXPENSIVE. Death is still bad, you just don't waste time corpse running. It has a positive continual gameplay effect but mm I dunno if it communicates the punishment well enough. Your first repair bill in hell/inferno will probably teach you that dying is bad I guess?

I don't remember where but I read that there's no corpse-hunting anymore. If there is no-one to revive you, you just respawn from the last checkpoint with everything on you and a 10% durability loss.
That friend intentionally suicided to see how death functioned!
SP definitely. Co-op is too rushed with people skipping dialogue, cutscenes, etc.

when you level-up, points are are automatically attributed according to your class?
or was it something only for the Beta?

If I had too....
DH f>m
Barb m>f
Monk m>f
WD f>m
Wiz f>m
something about their slender design just fits those classes.... and female WD!! dem breastisisss!
Yes there are. And no, there's nothing you can do about them, they're automatically attributed. You can only boost you stats with your gear.
I'm thinking at 3:00 (Noon PDT), we'll get our 100% reveal.
The race is on! OT or 100%?

moneys on the 100% reveal. didnt carbonatedhawk say itd be up around dinner time.... granted i have no idea when that is or what time zone he is.
It's such a silly complaint considering how awesomely fun the class looks and all but ... I just can't get over how much I dislike the WD's voice and dialogue. :|

Finally reading up.
I wanna do normal SP, but co-op further on.
EU -> WD.
Is there a GAF co-op list? Teaming up with some GAF-folks should be fun.

See I think the male demon hunter just looks extremely agile and ready to jump at a moment's notice. A lot of people just think he looks like he has spine problems! Lol! I just think they were going for a more comic book type of posture for him.
As far as I know, you're just stuck with the number assigned.
There's technically no SP / MP division. It's all online. People just say "SP" to mean one going through the game solo.

you're always online, so there's no differentiation between SP and MP characters. It's just that if you're in a game by yourself it acts like a SP game (followers, pausing, etc.)
Edit: beaten, this is moving too fast for me lol
SP doesn't exist. You create a private game in MP.
Same character. You can chose to play in a private game, invite friends or join a public game, everytime you play, with the same character
