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.

You can turn to what into what!?

*goes to D3 game page to check that

can't....unsee....

Edit: So quivers are an OH slot for DH, does that mean you can't have a bow and quiver? just a x-bow and quiver?

Nice to see DH get capes too :D
 
Happy to see people are finally getting invites, although I wish I was one of them.

There is always tomorrow!
Being positive helps right?
 
I got my invite email last night, too late to download it and play. Now I think the filter at work is messing with me. I managed to get to the launcher and accept the user agreement, but now it just sits at "Installing..." with no progress being made. This is going to be a long day.

You can use a quiver with bows, crossbows and a single hand crossbow.

*Edit - Congrats to all who got in! Red I sent you my battle.net email. If you guys want, pm me your battle.net emails when you get in and I can add you to the google document that Gromph set up.

Glad to finally see some GAFers get in! Sadly I ain't one of them. =(

Back of obsessively checking my email every 5min...

Ditto. Although now I wonder if I should have run my PC specs rather than my macbook. If it would have given me more of a chance to get in. Just because of the PC. vs. Mac

Regular opt-ins are starting to trickle in. Keep checking those battle.net accounts.

Pardon my ignorance but does this mean I have to go and log on to the website to check whether I got an invite? I thought it was just an email thing?

E-mails can be severely delayed if you go by Blizzard beta standard. So you are best to check your account if you are eager.
 
Apparently I got a beta invite email yesterday around 6 am but it was in my junk folder so I didn't see it. I don't understand what I have to do with it, they said I don't have to do the opt-in process. Anybody else get this email? Do I just have to fill out the template they gave me?

That sounds fake...your e-mail should look like this.

Can't tell if you are serious but in case you are. No, it's not real. Don't send them your password :o

Hia,

so after finishing the beta with my barbarian Remnant and playing again with DH to level 6 (dont worry, Ill continue right away), I must say, that this really is Diablo we are all waiting for.
There may be fixing here and there and alot of items are just placeholders, but from what I have seen, its shaping up to be one hell of a game.

Here are some points that I have used, discovered, etc..
- I held shift, like in D2, to attackl from place
- You dont need to hold alt to see the names of the items on the ground, just press it and it will be visible for a while
-When item is on a ground, you can hover on it with ctrl to see the items description
-All objects in the game have their own weight and much of the environment is destructible(I played with the physics while holding shift and smashing and sending everything to air)
-I didnt understand the chosing of skills, but it is supah easy:
press S to see skill page, at first you have two active skills which means just two..active skills, you click and select. Click on the second and select. You can swith the position of the skills in the hotbar however you want - you can lock this in options.
I have it open for fast switching of skills.
-You can create own banner which you have seen and click G to place it on the ground.
(I was like wtf, why is he screaming when I nonintentionaly pressed it XD )
-Ive been to auction place and from what I have seen, it is pretty organized.
You can sort items like in wow, have the ability like choosing which criteria you want(you can select more than one)
-While holding shift while selling, salvaging or doing anything to items, you can just click on another items and not click on icons representing said actions.

And I am going to relax my mind on the balcony and then playing much more.

If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Oh and by the way, the question I asked about printscreen? SAME AS D2
screenshots begin from 000 and are saved directly to root of the game.

Send PMs with emails so I can add you!

edit:

I have laptop and must say that overall, the performance is very good. By good I mean you cant see any slowdowns - but, when things go hectic and there are many monsters on the screen, it was like 10-20fps? I dont know, but here are my specs and settings.

intel i5 460M 2,50(turbo 2,8) MHz
4gb ram
Ati Mob Rad 5650 HD

1360x768
high except shadows which are on medium
color correction and tripple buffering


One bug I found was in the cathedral. I was on lower level and clicked the bookshelf and you know that when you do this, item will fly up and fall down? Mine scroll flew up and was on the upper floor above the bookshelf. So stairs and there...
I didnt have real ID on and was amazed why nobody joined. Have it on.

Thanks for confirming it was fake. I thought it was but couldn't be sure. It looked suspicious. I checked the email it was sent from and it said '@blizzard.com' so I wasn't sure. False alarm, guys.

Final build go.
I have two skills - one ranged and second close, there is no normal attack right?
Press X and you switch the second skill to normal.
Shift is right there for ranged shooting.

ed. seems like fbg is changing all the time. I am playing as close combat wd now and damn, it is great.

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.

My main attack skills is the exploding flaming skull which does a ton of dmg in a huge range and fire bats.

I also use my dogs of course and my last skill slot goes to the Zombie Hands thing to snare people.

Nice thoughts. Thanks for that.

I didn't realize Diablo was going to support RealID. I've never used it before (I don't play WoW).

edit: Started reading up on RealID. Sounds like you have to opt-in then you have to RealID friend invite someone. How/why is that keeping people from joining your game?

Nice impressions thanks! Blizzard already confirmed they have implemented a a screenshot directory based on beta feedback.

Also, disabling triple buffering improved my performance, which is boggling my mind.

The bug with the bookshelves has been documented and fixed according to blizz. I doubt we will see the change during beta though.

I wrote it wrong. My mistake. When I wrote something to emal address, no button went on.
Then I changed the realID and pasted one email. I worked. I tried it with adding @ behind some name and the button was clickable.

Yeah...heh

Wow, that's almost exactly my hardware. Except I have an AMD processor.
 
Do the invites still work like before, where your battle.net account will have an option to download the D3 beta without having to go and check your email? Last week people were saying that their account was updated before they received any email.

Yup.
 
I could actually take weeks Corky, can you imagine? Having to suffer those jokers running around in here going 'oh I got in the Dota AND the DIII beta lol'...

A sad state of affairs.
 
So are the invites a rolling solution, or are they a one time ... *BAM we are done for now* sorta thing?

I am wondering if I just have to wait for the next bunch if they have them or not.

If it's anything like any of their other betas, while they claim they go out in waves, in reality they slowly trickle out over the course of time and sometimes a burst of a bunch of invites will go out.
 
I'm never gonna get in ths, GRRR :( My last hope is in a few days with a dude I know who *could* get me in.
