D3 IS GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!

Recently started playing the Beta again, and have been having an awesome time

Hope to party up with some of the D3 Beta Key winners from the stream Dox and I did for TA v aLt. Mad props to Blizzard ANZ for those keys by the way.

The Beta is easy. Sure. A lot of people have been telling me "it's TOO easy to be enjoyable" and as a result are having seconds thoughts about the game. For starters it's ASTOUNDING how many people are quick to draw conclusions from Betas or even Alphas of games (that one's for you HotS pessimists) instead of adopting a wait and see approach. The D3 is a snippet of part of Act I on Normal difficulty which is the lowest possible casual difficulty.

This was recently posted on Blizzard's D3 Community Site.

You Tube

Looking forward to the release

Definitely gonna amp up the volume difficulty wise, those high difficulties in that video look insane. Re-playability ftw. Really hyped for this game and only getting more so every day

The beta has been getting cooler every new patch too which is great to see.

So anyway end rant. This is probably common knowledge for a lot of you, just trying to help the mentality of a few who have played the Beta and were disenchanted. PM me your Real ID if you want to party up in the Beta I'm always keen

Yeah, the Beta is pretty simple. It's more showing off the GUI and gameplay rather than offering a challenge

Still really good fun.

It was stock on something (I don't remember what) but eventually finished. The downloader might have a bug or something but definitely worked fine for me I've been playing it

TAminimat · Sun, 19th-Feb-2012, 12:56 PM

Woo its working now

TAminimat · Sun, 19th-Feb-2012, 12:59 PM

dont wanna spoil it im waiting for the actual release

Thank god, I thought my sensual Babenarde was whining about the difficulty being too easy when I saw the title. I should've known you're too cute for that.

Yeah I thought it served its purpose - showing you the general improvements of the game and letting you have a play around with abilities in 'low-stress' situations. Just lets people get a feel for it. That and it's only about 1/3 of the first act of the game; that's the equivalent of Blood Raven in D2 (i.e. not hard).

I liked it, found it fun to play. Definitely think the whole 'you will die' vid is cool for the harder difficulties, too.

Blizzard isn't EA who like to knock out a half assed game annually. Otherwise they wouldn't have anywhere near the quality or fanbase of their current titles

Omg I know what you mean T_T It's actually due out around when HotS is supposed to be released, hopefully they're not too close together or I'd never sleep. Ever. Seriously.

What are the specs for D3? I might need to tighten my pants to get a new system to be able to play HOTS and D3 =). But its gonna be worth it!

Need to replace the internal hard drive (well drgoose does

You don't need to replace (unless it's corrupted), you can just put another one in there! It's ezpz
