[Rentahamster]

Holy moley. I did not expect this! Got the D3 Beta Invite notification through the email.

[Valnen]

I don't actually have that game tied to my account. I own it, so I figured I had added it at some point.

Ahh okay.

 

[Rickenslacker]

C'mon Blizzard, I might not have bought a game of yours since 2003 but we're still friends right?

 

[Dwight Schrute]

BLIZZARD, SEND ME MY KEY OR I'LL GO BACK IN TIME AND UNBUY YOUR GAMES !

I HATE YOU !

[Corky]

this is the QTE I feel like doing :

biggest fucking case of gaming blue balls there is ...

1) I'm probably not getting dark souls on day 1 because the pessimist in me thinks the store is going to screw up.

2) BF3 beta, I want to play but can't.

3) Diablo 3 beta, I want to play but lolblizzard.

 

[red731]

Have hope!

Spoiler

I will pick the gold for you, my friend.

[Dwight Schrute]

Hahahhaha I got in fuck yeah!

I hate you

Have fun !


While we cry

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

So after a week with the Beta..

I'm liking Witch Doctor and Monk the best. Monk is just fun and does a ton of dmg and is a crazy amazing tank because he can heal and has defensive buffs.

Witch Doctor is just a revamped necro which I always loved but a bit more spellcaster focused.

Everyone and their moms in the beta is playing Wizard or Barbarian...

 

[red731]

... and some kitkat?

You can have that too and there are three kitkats, I would split the last one in the middle for us to have the same.

Hey peoples, who got in, add me or I add you.

Y U NOT SEND PM!

I will be ready around 1600

 

[MrKnives]

Hahahhaha I got in fuck yeah!

Spoiler

Have fun

 

[Kosma]

Thanks guys.

Best part is I will be able to play it at work, when it's done downloading

You, you....I must wait till home. I would post the above picture again, but my path is bright already.

 

[SteveWD40]

Productivity just hit zero, I keep checking Bnet...

Worst part / Best part: my own boss, if I get in that's me done for the week :S

Spoiler

[Pixel Pete]

My hope is Blizzard will see me F5'ng the shit out of it and give me the key out of pity.

I just find that my witch doctor dishes out the damage a lot slower in co-op than for example wizards or barbarians. By the time I'm in range for some damage dealing or my dots start ticking the barbarian has whirled and there's nothing left to mop up.

 

[TylerD]

All those that actually get in, we need proof. Sorry but that is just how this works!

That is the affli lock complex, and do not worry, it should go away when mobs survive more than 3 hits

You think we are desperately lieing attention girls!? Blasphemy!

 

[MrKnives]

Yes I agree we need proof. You can provide the necessery proof by letting us play on your accounts.

Soo guys...

Will Diablo 3 run on high setting with these specs?

Intel Core i7 740QM 1730 MHz
4 Gig Ram
AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5730 1024MB
Resolution: 1600 x 900

 

[red731]

Has D3 has the printscreen ability like D2? Where it saves in the game root as jpg?

You should be totaly fine.

I have

i5 460M 2,55 MHz
4 gigs
AMD Mobility Radeon HD 5650 1024
resolution will try full screen windowed (1920x1080, playing on tv)

Will post performace results and settings when I will play it and get to some hectic fights to see when it will drop or be steady.

 

[Hazaro]

Maybe they will send out keys to fight BF3 beta.

:[

 

[SteveWD40]

Between this, the BF3 Beta and the potential GW2 closed beta in 2011 I am going to spend more time playing Beta's (if I am lucky) than actual games

From my tests of d3 emulated server with spawns, game is quite badly optimized right now.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...Hh6T25fWW1vVUxxRWtEN0Y5WXEzUVE&hl=en_US#gid=0

First fps test is from beginning area and just running around. Second is after spawning 60 npcs and running near them - both zoom out [You cant play on zoom in settings btw] and max settings

C2D 2.5ghz, Radeon 4850, 2gb ram, XP, 1280x1024

 

[Hazaro]

Max settings are unoptimized. We know this from Starcraft II.
Try High settings, and lower options that drag on FPS and give almost no notice improvement to graphics.

If it is on High already might be more CPU bound too.

On a related note, they (blizz) must've done something to SLI recently because I tried the game yesterday and my framerate has like doubled.

SC or DIII

You think I'd consort with you peasants if I had access to DIII?

;_; SC....

Not much a difference, i checked. Game has also strange streaming problems when i'm running around zones, because it stutter all the time.
If i get into the beta i'll compare it with emu, we will see how this emulation affects performance, but shouldnt be much.

The highest settings in SC 2 beta was running better than this.

And i was not CPU bounded. Here's my CPU utilization.

 

[red731]

Will see and even if the game will run like ish, I will still enjoy it for what it is and not from the graphical side..

Spoiler

Deep inside I know that's a lie

I'm sure some proper drivers on release will help considerably as with other options.

 

[red731]

There was nothing here and dont look down.

 

[mcrae]

How do I delete this duplicate text?
Can I delete my posts?

no, just edit

 

[nara]

Never knew I would get dota 2 AND diablo 3 beta lol

 

[Kosma]

Oh man I can confirm, it's crack. I had to stop playing. Will download ASAP when I'm at home.

First impressions:
-Runs good on shit PC at work, might get choppy with 50 enemies on screen but its def doable! Would love to see it on good hardware.
-Sound is great
-Love orbs/health system, can see how it will require much more planning/thinking then just potions
-Loads more story then old Diablos
-New switchable skills = win.

 

[red731]

ONE AND HALF HOUR, ONE AND HALF HOUR!!!

I haven't took the half day off

 

[Kosma]

Few more till I'm off from work. But this 45 min teaser was good...

Yeah, but the Witch Doctor spells are kinda awesome in a hilarious way.

I mean, with a rune you can turn into a god damn suicide chicken.
