Relax
not need to create issues where there are none.Btw you do need to opt in for betas to get a possible invite (on battle.net).

No, but it does take a remarkably powerful system to stream at true 1080p with a decent framerate. Most streams you see will be using a program called Xsplit, which encodes realtime in h264 at whatever resolution you like. These streams often look slightly blurry because they are being played on a 1920x1080 monitor, but resized down to 1280x720 before being streamed because it significantly lessens the CPU power and bandwidth needed to stream.
Guys like Destiny on JTV broadcast SC2 in 1080p and the stream probably runs at 3000 kB/s upstream or more. Most people's upstream bandwidth can't handle it. It also kills your game performance even on a quad core at 4.0GHz.

Oh I know. I'm not creating issues, I'm merely stating that ultimately it comes down to luck. So difficult to encode sarcasm into internet posts.

not sure if i'm feeling the demon hunter... just can't get that excited about using bows. some of their skills look cool though. I think my interest level goes something like:
-Monk
-Wizard
-barb/DH
-WD
-Monk
-Wizard

Witch doctor is the most interesting for me. Totem pole body slamming zombies is all I need.

I hated Monk reveal and the shitty in-game movie but I love the Monk stream.
WTH what kind of magic is this, Blizzard?

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?
I fucking hated the Monk, I still hate the Monk and I'll always hate the Monk.StoppedInTracks said:
I was so damn sure I'd see my paladin in this game... and now he's just a mere helper. A fucking helper.
the screens they have shown were covered in rainbows, but the videos we have seen have been pretty atmospheric and gloomy.Raide said:
they have done a terrible terrible job showing this game, the name alone has been carrying this

From best class to helper. the mighty have fallen.
My main for D2 was a Pala and I would love him to come back.

For Blizzard, the Monk is the Paladin... so no, it will definitely not show up. How the mighty have fallen indeed. I literally went into depression-state when the Monk was announced, I knew already at that point that we'd see no playable Paladin class

And it's already op! The heal thing god. The guy never dies
I've been so stoked for this game for years, and the fact I'm finally getting to see it in action from normal players is amazing. I have planned on playing a wizard first as pure caster is what I almost always go with as my main - don't wanna break the mold . I've only seen a wiz/barb stream last night and I've been working all day, but this talk about the monk being awesome has me intrigued(I'm in the boat that the previous monk videos were fairly boring for the most part). Can't wait to go home and just have streams playing all night while I bum around on TF2/SC2. Need...d3....beta....uungGHhgn
Oh, and I've never gotten a beta invite to blizz games. I am not expecting one now...but one buddy of mine has gotten into everything =(.

Blizzard let me down by not inviting me to the WoW, BC, Lich King, Cataclysm or SC2 Beta, I hope they don't disappoint me again

Your right, my diablo 3 folder is full of video after video of close up, vibrant screens that have no atmosphere or mood. Seriously man, they have released some great gameplay videos over the past couple of years. They don't look any different than the current beta streams, with the exception of the UI.
Well, these vids got me somewhat hyped for d3 again. Really beautiful and atmospheric graphics, gameplay looks solid, what else to expect from blizzard. Hope the the hack and slash "clickfest" concept still is relevant today. Im doubting that it can become as big as diablo 2 was though.

If anything, it'll be bigger. Market is much larger now.
That means more gaming options, especially with multiplayer gaming gone mainstream. This type of game is undoubtably more niche today than it was 11 years ago with diablo 2. With all the fps games, WoW and everything else people play, im wondering whether or not a isometric camera hack & slash can compete on the same level. True, it will have all those fans who have fond memories of diablo 2, but i have a hard time seeing this resonate with the crowds who dont really know or remember the franchise. It might do better in numbers, but i dont think it will be the phenomenon that diablo 2 was.piratepwnsninja said:
Starcraft 2 will have a hard time outselling starcraft 1, and i think the same can be said of diablo 3 compared to 2

That confirms I don't really need to rush to build my new comp, my 4870 will do quite good with it.Gromph said:
