I look forward to killing every demon as fast as possible, using any or every class especially the barbarian and the witch doctor...maybe monk as well they look fun fun fun~. See how the storyline goes, take on Nightmare difficulty *_* must collect rare stuff *_* and have fun doing everything including PVP with a bunch of buds. Really have to see whats in store for everyone when comes out. Kill all the demons!~

[ToRVenom]

[iMSystem]

Goodluck to all who enter. D3 such a good game ^_^

[pRoEpsilon]

I haven't played Diablo in my life till my friend showed me the D3 trailers and gameplays on the Blizzard website as well as play through by Day9. So overall I am just looking forward to be part of the Diablo franchise for the first time ever!! I also looking forward to understanding why stabbing demons in the face is so satisfying as said by Day9 on his stream haha!

[ROOTPetraeus]

I am looking forward to playing a different game than SC2 for once Played D2 maaaany years ago and this looks fun ^^

[syc]

the three most read words in the world...

O.o

kidding aside, ive been hunting for a beta key since it started and have played diablo 1 & 2 like forever.. hope i get picked.. if i made u LOL, u know its worth it to give me one

[Celldweller]

im looking forward to spending countless hours playing, and finally getting to play a game with my friends again. im not looking forward to failing my mid terms because of it lol.

[phoney]

Q: What are you looking forward to most in Diablo 3?

A: Streaming it live, playing hardcore mode only and living life like Indiana Jones

[xceL]

TBH the beta is stupidly short. Lvl 9 and you've finished the game.

Everything is pretty much 1 hit kill, bosses aren't challenging at all. Then again I understand its the first chapter and all, but I was quite displeased with the beta.

Played it for 2 hours then just shared my account.
Am willing to share my account with other (reputable) members on this forum, just hit me up on xfire:

Destroying my mouse again!

D2 took away so much of my life that I will never get back, and destroyed 2 (albeit cheap) mice just from the constant smashing of the Left Mouse Button. Now I have a Razer DeathAdder that is meant to be able to take abuse, (tgun showed how well Razer build mice at the Arena Lan ) so I can't wait to play!!

[wTlzq]

I use to play WoW regularly and personally what i dont like in WoW that there literally is no single player ability to better yourself or just all single player stuff is boring, I hate having to wait for tuesday thursday and sunday nights to raid content and have fun.

Thats where D3 shines to me, I would love to just do end game content and better myself and not have to do Crappy instances always in a group of people that are rude and have the GO GO GO GO mentality.

Diablo 3 key, i must have

[c_kAelle]

What are you looking forward to most in Diablo 3?
The thing I'm looking forward to the most in Diablo 3 is the epic boss fight with the Lord of Terror again!
Playing the Wizard (the D3 Sorc) again and grinding and levelling and exploring the world of Sanctuary.
Hanging out with people in the channels and just talking and socializing, like spending your day in Sanctuary...
All the cool special effects from spamming Wizard spells over and over again.
Lose yourself in the feeling of gosu crowd control...
Partying! partying with people all day doing fun things, leveling, seeing the world (Sanctuary )
developing your character to her full potential...
everything, everything fun!

[Nator]

I look forward to struggling through the depths of inferno difficulty on a monk rolling demons left right and centre like some kind of Diablo-killing Bruce Lee. Not to mention the atmosphere that I haven't seen in a game since I delved into the depths of hell in Diablo 2. So pumped!!

[iM yang]

I look forward to jumping in a skype call and just plowing through the entire game with friends, people always **** up and it's sooooooooo much fun! D2 has massive nostalgia for me so I can't wait to experience the awesome memories that I have with my friends, again!

[XiaoHaiZi]

Q: What are you looking forward to most in Diablo 3?
A: I looking forward to play Monk and date Leah (Deckard Cain's Adopted Daughter). Because she is hot !!
And facebook share picture with all of friends and make them so so so mad, that they didn't come to SC2SEA.com !!

[VeLoCitY]

I am looking forward to inferno because i just love a challenge want it to be really hard

[aLtShortizz]

Ive played Diablo for almost my entire childhood. Its still very nostalgic when some of my friends hang out together and the word Diablo was mentioned. The times where we skipped school and PvP ppl just to get revenge for a friend was exciting and painful(Punishment by parents).

With that being said, im looking forward to the release of D3, the graphics looks really sophisicated and i hope i can get a key so that i have get a head start over my friends!

[SuperHero]

What are you looking forward to most in Diablo 3?

I recently read the Book of Cain which blizzard released as a pre cursor to diablo 3 coming out. I am looking forward to see how all the characters play out in the game. I am very certain that you will have to fight some of the Archangels as well as the lesser evils and of course one, two or maybe even all 3 of the prime evils.

Blizzard have always done a great job at continuing a great story through amazingly gameplay (Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo) and i am looking forward to seeing this trend continue.

I am also looking forward to getting rich by selling items for real money through the auction house system that they are going to implement. Getting paid for playing diablo? It will be like i'm a real pro gamer! or a Chinese gold farmer ... one or the other.

[calcifer19]

i have d3 beta but i dont mind get another one for other people to share

so far d3 is amazing you will become so addicted when released + u can earn real money by selling item,

i am looking forward to play wizard in diablo 3 and look foward to see you in d3(sea server) alot people in will have lag issue for NA server

[jump]

I am looking for Aiur

[Jaywalk]

Its release.

[SuSuSuSuperDucky]

I'm looking forward to a release date

[Sturok]

I am looking forward to:
Yet another opportunity to play an opposite gender magic wielding queen of the elements!!

And pick the spookiest male character and get it happening with that..

The story lines suck me in amazingly well - so the story is a given too..

I have never done multiplayer diablo before SO the harder difficulty levels with friends would be awesome too!!

[Slowpoke]

I'm almost done the campaign for Brood War so I'll have time to play one of Blizzard's new games. I'm can't wait to play the Paladin, he looks so cool. However, the stamina potions look too intense for me though but we'll see. I hope this game runs on my Gateway...

	phoney:	Butcher + Duriel = epic win

[Brultze]

I stand on the blood stained ground, a wizard of immense power. Around me stands my friends, a monk and a barbarian. In front of us a large demonic army stands between us and Diablo, Lord of Terror.

I smile, " This will be fun."

Together the three of us charge into battle, engaging the enemy whom outnumber us a thousand to one. But their numbers count for nothing. My barbarian brother leaps into the demon army's midst, hacking and slashing all who stand in his way. Blood and gore was all around him.

The monk runs into the crowd, beating the demons into pulp with his bare hands. I stayed slightly further behind, casting spell after spell into the crowd. Some of them were burned to a crisp, others were electrocuted with lightning. None of the demons could stop us, we were invincible.

Our feeling of triumph stopped when our true enemy stomped towards us. Diablo himself matched towards us, his army spreading apart to open a path for their leader. As Diablo reached us, the rest of the demons had retreated behind him. Waiting for their great leader to crush us.

"What fools you young heros are! I am the Lord of Terror! None can dream to triumph against me!" claimed Diablo.

Silence hung in the air. Raw power seemed to emit from Diablo's body. This will not be an easy battle for us. We looked to one another, this is the last stretch of our journey. All our efforts come down to this one moment. We turned back to our nemesis and attacked as one without so much as a word. My friends charged towards him directly, ready to use their best skills, while I began channeling my greatest spell.

Diablo roared a terrible roar and engaged my friends. Thus the battle for the survival of our world begins.

---------------------------------------------

The first thing which I am looking forward to Diablo 3 is the engaging story telling and cinematics which make us feel involved in the world. Coupled with the amazing gameplay which can be expected, these will form into an absolutely amazing game. Also, I look forward to playing Diablo 3 with my friends, co-operating together and just enjoying the experience of the game together. Never played Diablo 2 with other before so this will be new to me . (Tried to show these reasons in the story)

Good luck to everyone else in winning the beta key!

[Delraich]

Hmmm, where do I even start...

• Making my character: thinking of a cool name, customizing what the character is going to look like (e.g. hairstyle etc), I love this bit of the game.
  
  
  
• Exploring the first bit and wondering around listening to the sound effects.
  
  
• Killing the first boss and every boss for that matter
  
  
• Getting the loot! I want to get decent stuff through loot drops and auction house, but not by using real money.
  
  
• Trading on the auction house. My "solitaire" feeling comes from browsing the AH and seeing if I can pick up decent bargains and sell them on for a profit. I can spend ages doing stuff like this and it is super rewarding when it pays off.
  
  
  
• Meeting up with someone and doing stuff in a group. I really enjoy playing social games and I hope to make some good online friends to team up with and kick some serious ass.
  
  
• Having a game where you can whack on your headphones and zone out of the real world for a while at the end of a long day (or even before the end of the day, or maybe just before going to work checking the AH).
  
  

[aLtMrFool]

What am I looking foward to in D3?

I come from a family of three brothers where we're just hardcore fans of all blizzard games! Since young, we would play all sorts of blizzard games together through the night.

I can still remember the days where we would play the lost vikings (come on you guys played this game before right?!). It was great fun puzzle solving where I was always the short guy who could run fast and jump! My second brother would play the guy who was slightly fat and only held a shied, my big brother would then play the last one, the guy with the sword. He didn't particularly enjoy playing that character but hell who would give up the chance and fun of playing as three brotherly vikings with his two brothers?! That was the first blizzard game that made us die-hard fans! I still remember those moments.. Where the shield guy had to lift his shield for the thin guy to jump to high areas to unlock doors and defend against slimy blobs while the sword guy stood behind the cover of the shield to eliminate those pesky little threats! We would play up to 3am and get scolded by our parents but still go to sleep 3 happy kids. Solving vikings puzzle in our dreams!

But alas, that was all just when we were kids, I was merely like 5 years old then! Those were my fond memories.

Then, we played diablo! There was just this one memory that I can never ever forget. I was like primary one, my 2nd brother primary 3 while my eldest brother was secondary three. He got his hand on a copy of diablo and being too young, he would play and we would watch. Hell, at that time, that game was interesting as hell and fun to watch..

And then, all of a sudden.. 'RAHHHH FRESSHHH MEATTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!' ALL THREE OF US JUMPED FROM OUR CHAIR! It shocked the hell out of all of us and the character died to the famous le butcher! Countless hours of fun and enjoyment and laughter enfold and we played the game for about 2 years + its unofficial expansion.

Then, we got into WoW after casual one-basing 12 battlecruiser/carrier ''RUSH'' in starcraft 1, countless hours of dota / WC 3 / WC 2 / BW. We played nearly every single game blizzard had to offer! WoW was the most important game that made us brothers beyond blood. All these years, we played WoW on and off and raided with all sorts of people. There were fun times and there were not fun times. But we brothers always played together and went through all of them together! But of course, after so many years, all journeys must come to an end and we're on the verge of quitting WoW altogether.

Needless to say, having played so much of blizzard games together, any other games we play and didn't find like-able or could bond us together, we would always comment on how blizzard always makes the best games!

Out of the three of us, one of them is studying in NTU, one is busy working on a start-up project for an awesome app that could change a lot of things, only one remains playing starcraft 2 at a reasonably competitive level. That is not to say we don't still bond because of starcraft 2! We do, we share a GSL ticket , GSTL ticket, discuss about the game a lot and they like to spend time watching me play my ladder games and comment as well! But them, playing this game casually, can never relate to it with me at a level that I do.

Of course, I haven't forgotten about mentioning our story in Diablo 2( didn't think I'd forget, did ya?). Diablo 2 was probably the blizzard game that we spent the most time playing together that Is not an MMORPG(WoW is the only other game). We would spend countless hours playing different combination of 2-3 classes on the battle.net, killing countless number of the summoners, andariel, izreal the fallen archangel, blood raven, diablo, rakanishu ( that pesky little lightning enchanted imp that we always die to in nightmare/hell mode ), baal and even mephisto! It only took us till december 2012 to chance upon the fact that

Blood raven is rogue from diablo 1

The summoner is mage from diablo 1

Diablo is warrior from diablo 1( only fact we knew because we watched that bastard warrior got corrupted and piereced the bloodstone into his head like 20 times over completing diablo 1 again and again )

And we still had a darned long interesting chat about how it all adds up about what we know about blood raven and the summoner! What other game could link three brothers together ( oh yes I'm diablo, 2nd brother baal and eldest brother mephisto and together we are the brothers of terror,destruction and hatred from hell). But no seriously, games like diablo 2 from blizzard have really brought us brothers together like no other thing in life has ever brought us together!

Games from blizzard are truly amazing.

But I have not answered the question have I? What am I looking foward most to in Diablo 3. All those above, I hope you guys read them. It's what's gonna make the paragraph below more impactful.

In recent days, apart from starcraft 2 ( where I take it more competitively than my casual brothers ) where we don't come together to play it as much as I'd love to like old days and other blizzard awesome products. We only have random games like LoL, kingdoms of amalur and deus ex human revolution where we will only play and discuss for at most weeks or sometimes even days only. Its been a really long time since we've had that nostalgic feeling of playing a game we would indulge in and play like three little kids into the wee hours of the night and not let go even in our dreams and every day blanter and chat. We've been expecting Diablo 3 to fill that shoes for us since we're about to quit WoW and Starcraft 2 really isn't their cup of tea to play competitively in. We're really hoping for Diablo 3 to come out ASAP so that we can reminicise in old memories and play like three (little) lost vikings in the unchartered hell in the world of diablo. We've all signed up for the beta through Battle.net but sadly none of us have gotten in T.T additionally, my 2nd brothers' birthday was in january and when D3 was announced to be released in dec 2011, my eldest brother and I decided that we'd buy our 2nd brother ( lord of destruction ) D3 as a birthday present. Alas, to no avail, and like every other blizzard games, it was DELAYED. My dear lord of destruction was of course, really disappointed as he was really looking foward to bashing, smashing through enemies of hell with his favourite babarian with his two brothers!

I was disappointed too because I couldn't get him the game. Now, that I've read this announcement, there is that glimmer of hope because if I can get this story out there and it gets selected, I will be able to give the key to my 2nd brother and let him play the beta ( not the full game yet, but I'm sure he'll be delighted to have it ). Of course, me and my eldest brother will get to enjoy it too but nothing beats an achievement like ' having been a beta player for D3 where the key was a gift from my little brother ' and having a sneak peak of what the three of us will get to enjoy preferably in the near future!

Now, I would love to end off this story and be really hopeful but with hope comes greater disappointment. I truly do wish/hope/pray that I can get a key (as I've been unsuccessful in all my attempts - including when maynarde and dox was streaming aLt vs TA and I actually typed moonglade tgun for last question before the question was asked and told myself 'silly me, how can the answer be so easy' and cancelled the answer only to see 1000 of the same answers being correct the next moment. I was disappoint and I smacked myself really hard then) for my brother as a belated birthday gift. I haven't been able to find a suitable birthday present replacement.. Which was what sparked me into writing such a long story for a chance at the key. Its worth it even if you guys enjoyed the tale of three loving brothers who loves games and e-sports!

Thank you for reading and I hope its not too much of a wall of text!

Signing off,
MrFool (aLt)

You're so mean to me...T_T

Anyway thanks to said internet I'm willing to add the key you were intending to give to me to either:
a) the next person to donate say, 15$ to the site
b) add it to the questions thing since some of them are pretty good.

[veteris]

Definitely the cinematics. The opening cinematics got me hooked on all my Blizzard games. That and losing sleep, although, not sure if I should be 'looking forward' to that one.

[braindead]

having played d2 with a 88 sorceress, the most interesting and unhindered thing i'm looking forward in D3 would be the replayability and gameplay, improved by heaps and bounds compared to D2 hopefully. With the recent update regarding item drops for real money auction prices not sky rocketing for small stuff like runes etc, pretty sure blizz is balancing it really well.

This game's been a tease from quite a long while as in blizz keeps taking the date far far away than they usually planned to release on.

on a simpler note, i'm looking forward to stability and replayability in D3 that D2 had. by stability i mean good gameplay functions, lesser glitches and everything that the game has to offer a gamer without being disappointing. and by replayability, would love to reroll another class or same class again and play it with the same interest as i did the first character that i play.

PS: i Tyrael, and mephisto.. but seems he's gone

I am most looking forward to getting back into one of the best RPG's ever made. I haven't playnig anything but SC2 since it was released, nothing until now has really compared.

[ToRCrispy]

Basically i'm just looking forward to becoming immersed in what i'm sure will be one of the best games ever created. I've been looking forwards to Diablo III since it was first announced a few years ago and i really wanted at Beta key in the first round. I grew up playing Diablo I and II along with Starcraft: Brood War so i'd like to continue this by getting a Diablo III Beta key also i want to absolutely destroy everything as the badass demon hunter and play online with all my friends like a baws!

[whskeks000]

I'm looking forward to playing with my best friend again! Diablo 2 was the game we played the most when we were little. It was so fun playing coop together and trading cool armor sets. That's when I lived in Korea. We were separated when I came here, United States. It has been 4 years since I talked with him. I recently called him up and we shared our usernames so we can play together again! It's gonna be so awesome playing coop again!

What I am looking forward to is many a sleepless night, dungeon diving for awesome loot with my brother. We used to play D2 so much together. Besides this, I am looking forward to the boss fights. I'll never forget the first time I came across the Butcher and needed a new pair of pants!

[MooZfY]

I love the diablo series. I've seen many people playing this game and it just looks amaaaaaazing ~____~

[AyuTrex]

People say a picture says a thousand words but I'd say "Diablo" itself says a thousand pictures as people can already visualize what's going to happen next in game. That is how much it means to Diablo fans.

I look forward to being a hunter by day, slayer by night as I will hunt down and follow the trails of the demons, eventually slaying everyone of them when they come out at night. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Nightmares will be gone and peace galore.

[berenoune]

i'm looking forward to the core mechanics and the story/lore. i love the lore and i hope Diablo 3 will deliver! ^_^

We only have random games like LoL, kingdoms of amalur and deus ex human revolution where we will only play and discuss for at most weeks or sometimes even days only. Its been a really long time since we've had that nostalgic feeling of playing a game we would indulge in and play like three little kids into the wee hours of the night and not let go even in our dreams and every day blanter and chat. We've been expecting Diablo 3 to fill that shoes for us since we're about to quit WoW and Starcraft 2 really isn't their cup of tea to play competitively in. We're really hoping for Diablo 3 to come out ASAP so that we can reminicise in old memories and play like three (little) lost vikings in the unchartered hell in the world of diablo. We've all signed up for the beta through Battle.net but sadly none of us have gotten in T.T additionally, my 2nd brothers' birthday was in january and when D3 was announced to be released in dec 2011, my eldest brother and I decided that we'd buy our 2nd brother ( lord of destruction ) D3 as a birthday present. Alas, to no avail, and like every other blizzard games, it was DELAYED. My dear lord of destruction was of course, really disappointed as he was really looking foward to bashing, smashing through enemies of hell with his favourite babarian with his two brothers!

I was disappointed too because I couldn't get him the game. Now, that I've read this announcement, there is that glimmer of hope because if I can get this story out there and it gets selected, I will be able to give the key to my 2nd brother and let him play the beta ( not the full game yet, but I'm sure he'll be delighted to have it ). Of course, me and my eldest brother will get to enjoy it too but nothing beats an achievement like ' having been a beta player for D3 where the key was a gift from my little brother ' and having a sneak peak of what the three of us will get to enjoy preferably in the near future!

Now, I would love to end off this story and be really hopeful but with hope comes greater disappointment. I truly do wish/hope/pray that I can get a key (as I've been unsuccessful in all my attempts - including when maynarde and dox was streaming aLt vs TA and I actually typed moonglade tgun for last question before the question was asked and told myself 'silly me, how can the answer be so easy' and cancelled the answer only to see 1000 of the same answers being correct the next moment. I was disappoint and I smacked myself really hard then) for my brother as a belated birthday gift. I haven't been able to find a suitable birthday present replacement.. Which was what sparked me into writing such a long story for a chance at the key. Its worth it even if you guys enjoyed the tale of three loving brothers who loves games and e-sports!

Thank you for reading and I hope its not too much of a wall of text!

Brultze came close as well.
