Stay a while, and listen! Diablo 3

Beasteh

considering grenades currently cost 25 hatred they are most definitely not awesome

Big Red Tie

the grenades suck
they do no damage and cost too much

also i made the slinglock it has 28 dps but it's level 15 required ahhhh. i need another bow to dual wield with my current one

Hunter

When they patch in the skill calculator stuff and grenades start generating Hatred, they will rule.

Beasteh

they probably wont change anything on the beta at all for a few months until nearer release

all the testing will be done inhouse

and the fans will rage

Hunter

I don't necessarily agree with that. Once you have a beta, you might as well use that resource to generate more hours played for testing new things. The more people playing means more people experimenting with various combinations, and then ultimately keying in on what works and what doesn't. You've already let the beta out of the bag, might as well use it to your advantage at this point.

Beasteh

counterpoint

if you want your beta testers testing the actual game and not just the server load/rmah

why is the level capped at 13 and the content capped at maybe the first third of act 1?

surely you would want more people experimenting and trying to break the high level skills and runes and gear

all the good shit is being tested inhouse so

Ubik

ya i thought i read a blue post that said beta was only server load testing not content testing

i guess that could change obvs

Beasteh

they could solve the 'oh no but spoilers!!!!' problem by just beta testing the same content in nightmare/hell/inferno difficulty

starting with premade characters at appropriate levels for the difficulty

but what do i know, i am just a bli$$ fanboy

Walt

I want hatred generating grenades.

I want to grenade everything ever. Of all time.

My post after yours was epic. Hopefully Neville's wang is a merciful deity.

Have you fulfilled said prophecies though, Hunter?

Neville's dong whispers: Death is close... Your friends will abandon you.

Yo @projeck could you list a few of your characters names? I keep getting a message saying me and you are already friends, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case!!

Projeck

my only character so far is Darjeeling, a monk

i'm pretty sure we're friends because I added you?

Latest chunktapus build, plan being to run into a hundred guys and just mash 5 abilities as once while my pet ancients run around.

redfenix

waiting for the beta invite that may never come reminds me of that calvin and hobbes when he's waiting to get the beanie in the mail

Zoel

i didn't actually know that c'thun did that until I started taking medication for bipolar disorder

nealcm

blizzard asked me if they could base the skeleton king off the chunktapus

i let them

though he is only a fraction as fearsome and deadly

Zoel

neville would be a super cool guy if he got people into the beta but I think that is asking a little much of him

nobody wants to be that bouncer at the club who is letting all his friends in

Kwoaru

I long to be that guy

humble

I was that bouncer

thats the best part about working at a bar, letting your friends in for free and skipping the line

Druhim

neville absolutely got people into the beta

neville

nonsense
it was all luck.

humble

i was relying on luck

it failed

nealcm

it worked for me

humble

lets rub more salt in the wound shall we

Rinder

Decided to build a new rig instead of just replacing my fried card. All the components were from circa 2007 and I was still using a CRT.
I'm sure my old computer would play this game fine, but I think 4 years is a good time to upgrade.
Hmm seems like the GTX 570 is looking like my card of choice. Also the i5 2500k is looking like a good bang for the buck.

Whoops, thought you were beasteh!!

nealcm

how do i do this whole

urn of souls deal

No Great Name

What do you mean

nealcm

is it some kind of event i missed or is it random whether one spawns in place of a shrine or something

or did my eyes glaze over and i automatically did it

it's a good way to grind to 12 right cause i want to try allllllllll the abilitiesssssssssssss

captaink

I think it's random.

TheStig

I really really really wish dueling was in this.

nealcm

well guess i'm running through the game a second time

I just started making games at the reign of the king quest and started from there each time

took me two runs to do 10-12, but one of those games I cleared out the dungeons at the graveyard where you got the crown too

Shorty

took a demon hunter up to 8

kinda boring

but the potential is clearly there to be lots of fun when you've got more than three skill slots

and I love the dual resource idea
