Oh reading fail at 6am for me I guess. I missed the "no NDA for tester" in the first paragraph... Why day9 no stream then? It makes no sense.

Because there's 2 different Betas. One that is the entire game and another that has no NDA and is just up till about level 10.
 
This just proves that you guys don't read every reply in a thread, which makes a forum fucking useless.

Day9 can't stream, like other web sites can't, because then it would generate traffic for the site, which isn't fair. Only friends and family can stream because they get nothing out of it.

Truth. He specified it in a later tweet.

Correct. There is only one beta, but press and high traffic sites are being told not to stream for now because it would be an unfair advantage for them versus sites that don't have the beta yet. Soon the beta will be in full public swing and media will be everywhere, very soon.
 
I was pretty sure I read every post here. Can someone guide me to the post here that shows Day9's tweet that he can't stream because of the site traffic thingy? I've tried to search it in his twitter account but I only see the "I talked to blizzard on the phone" that has nothing said about site's traffic problem.
 
Ah, I was under the impression that he couldn't because he was in a different Beta. Well that takes care of that. Though to be honest what ever happened to having an exclusive? I don't see this as being all that different from when some magazine or website gets a world exclusive unveiling/review No one whines about those so this shouldn't be any different right?

Well, not really. In those cases they give them the exclusive. Here they don't want to give Day9 the exclusive.
Nobody would probably whine here either. It's just a thing Blizzard doesn't want to do and it's not like it's only Day9.

Yes, some of us do whine about that, esp. when the website that bought the exclusive is shit like IGN, Kotaku, or PoS mag like GI.

That's recorded footage though :-)

I know!
no live in right corner
, but still, IT IS ON! :D

This is the DH footage that was posted some post above I guess.

I can watch everything and many times, only Diablo 3 is doing this to me!
 
I can now proudly say I was welcomed into both the Diablo II & Diablo III betas, last time I didn't work, this time I have a full time job. Challenge accepted.
 
I have bought every Blizzard game on day 1 since Starcraft, and currently have all of their PC games attached to my battle.net profile, yet I have never received an invite for any of their beta's. I don't think D3 will be any different but I would love to be wrong.

Only way I got into the SC2 beta was by preordering.

Also, I own all those blizz games, but didn't day1 them. I waited on RoC and TFT, and heard about D2LOD from a friend, then promptly bought it.
 
I didn't own a single blizz game and got to the SC2 beta from day1. Also got like 2-3 extra invites down the road.

Suck it.

They've shown artwork for the female barb and she looks awesome. I'm actually really tempted to play her as my first or second Barbarian.

Are you not watching streams, because ive seen her three times now. She looks like barbarian ogre.
 
I have reached a new phase regarding Diablo 3.

I feel like the gaming world is empty. Like the seeds in winter. Dormant. Waiting for spring.
My gaming life feels like an alcoholic's after the last bottle he can afford. I know that the payday is far, far away...T_T

Please, come in 2011. Please.

A public (though closed) beta, 3 months prior to launch is a really good sign that we are looking at this year for launch in early December.

Game of forever.

Even thought this is a game of forever I'm still sad I will be a month behind of everyone

Almost hope it would be delayed.

Yea I'm in dangerous waters here :P

No but I'm going away for a month in January so can't play at all. Kinda sad to start playing it for two weeks and have to stop there.
I mean it's like making someone take heroin and then they are asked to stop for a month.
 
MrKnives said:
Video compression takes away some but yea not a huge difference. I wonder how much the FSAA will do anything when it's active and maybe they will add more graphic options after release, like with SC2.

Someone is bound to find the settings for ground clutter, life of corpses and blood splatter amount. :D
 
I've tried Barbarian and Witch Doctor so far. Both are REALLY fun to play, though I'm starting to prefer the Witch Doctor.

Oh really. Care to post some screens in this thread? We are lacking photos that I can drool over.

how is the wizard holding up? most interesting class for me so far, plus Wizard sounds cool.

Damn wonder why? Hints at corruption of Tyrael hence requiring a newer voice?
Click to expand...
Well, this could also hint that the
ancients
are not in it as well. :(

IIRC wasn't there is a "where is tyrael?" advertisement at one time?
 
as much as I'd love to be in the beta, I realize that I probably won't ever get in it, so I'll just have to wait until blizzcon to get my hands on it. when that happens though... >:D
 
I haven't exactly been following this thread but the beta isn't out for normal people yet, right?

Also who qualifies as Friends and Families?
