JackieChan February 2, 2012 Share JackieChan GC Alumni February 2, 2012 I just got invited to the beta last night. Anyone else here have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage February 2, 2012 Share ZeroDamage Member February 2, 2012 I got mine last night as well. It was late when I got it so I only did the preliminary things in the email and plan to download and install it tonight. Hit me up on Steam if you want to group up... if that is possible in the beta.

All the functionality from what I've seen as far as multiplayer goes is in the beta. Inviting friends, joining random people's games and whatnot so this will be one fun beta.

VooDooPC February 3, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member February 3, 2012 (edited) I got mine last night too. I played through with the Witch Doctor so far and am about 1/2 way through with the Barbarian. It took me roughly 4 hours with the Witch Doctor. So I think I'll get atleast 12+ hours out of the beta just playing through with the classes. Edit: Barbarian, done!

samurai nightling February 3, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member February 3, 2012 I'm so mad. I've been signed up to get beta stuff forever, but does Blizzard ever select me?! NOOOOOOooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest February 3, 2012 Share lousiest Member February 3, 2012 never played diablo multiplayer much. only played single player on d1 and d2. how does diablo multiplayer compare to an mmo? is it even a fair comparison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggs February 3, 2012 Share Biggs GC Alumni February 3, 2012 D2 only let 8 people play in one game at a time, so it wasn't really like an mmo very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC February 3, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member February 3, 2012 never played diablo multiplayer much. only played single player on d1 and d2. how does diablo multiplayer compare to an mmo? is it even a fair comparison? I think it's basically co-op and you can fight other dudes if you want. I think the max players is four, it's no MMORPG in that regard but I think it's better in every other aspect such as not needing to grind, a complete story, and a well polished game. The mutliplayer is more comparable to Guild Wars, imagine your game being an instance that only your group can hang out in, people can drop in and out when ever they want. My major quirk right now actually has to do with people being able to drop in and out when ever they want. Your game is always online and effected by lag, even when you're by yourself. So earlier today my game was giving me a ping of 600+ and things were delayed and skipping all over the place, all of this was me by myself.

JackieChan February 3, 2012 Author Share JackieChan GC Alumni February 3, 2012 I'm loving the Monk class. Fast attacks plus flashy cool moves. I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samurai nightling February 3, 2012 Share samurai nightling Member February 3, 2012 I never played D2 single player. I only played multiplayer. It's not exactly an MMO in many aspects, but such a great game in many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless February 3, 2012 Share Clueless GC Alumni February 3, 2012 I had never played any of the Diablo games until recently....been playing 2 in preparation for 3, I'm enjoying it even with the old graphics, can't wait for the new one. This to me is definitely a game to play with friends, which is what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill February 4, 2012 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member February 4, 2012 VooDoo: Blizzard supposedly released 100,000 keys in this last batch as a massive stress test. Your lag is probably from that pulse. Otherwise people from Australia have been posting videos of their gameplay with pings of 200+ with no lag, even going so far as to play DII for laggy comparison. By all accounts the server to client code is pretty alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC February 4, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member February 4, 2012 They cancelled Blizzcon this year. They said they were too busy but I'm guessing if Diablo 3 really is coming out in the next couple months and Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm will maybe be out late/mid summer I think it's more like they'll have nothing worth showing.

VooDooPC February 4, 2012 Share VooDooPC Member February 4, 2012 I'm about 2/3rds of the way through with the Demon Hunter. So far of the three classes I've played I've enjoyed each a lot more than I thought I would. Before I played the beta I thought I'd just go Witch Doctor because that's the closest to the Necromancer, but now I'm having doubts about which class to go with first. I played maybe an hour or so with my Witch Doctor on a second play through. The level cap is 13 and he's at 11. Towards the end of the part in the beta you get a companion, if you start your second play through you can get the companion from the start and they have lines of dialog for him that he wouldn't have even see in the first play through, I thought that was kind of cool.

Flitterkill February 4, 2012 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member February 4, 2012 If you want to follow along on D3 stuff I highly recommend http://diablo.incgamers.com/ No BS and pretty thorough. More or less the mainstay hangout for Diablo fanatics for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
