Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    I am glad they are doing this open beta because I still haven't made up my mind as to whether or not I want to get this game. I played the shit out of some Diablo II back in the day, but my tastes have moved on a bit. I get somewhat excited by the stuff I see for Diablo III, but I'm also extremely wary of the Internet Hype Machine.

    Getting a chance to put my mittens on the actual game and play it? For free? Fucking awesome.

    So are they going to add animations so the Monk/Wizard/Witch Doctor actually use the weapons you find?

    Every class has an auto attack animation for every weapon

    I think they plan to add monk animations so his various hit stuff skills will use whatever weapon he has equipped

    wizard and witch doctor both have no hit stuff spells skills so I'm not sure why they would add any animations there

    I will cut your body open, shit in it, then tattoo your corpse with the words "THE JANISARIES WERE HERE" over and over.
    BUY THE GAME.

    So I took a break from SW and ME3 to do a little co op Beta with a friend of mine last night. Four hours of just fun. No frusrations about crappy PvP, no cares about making decisions, just kill shit and get loot. I'm pretty sure that one session bought the game for him, since he was on the fence about it.

    I am so surprised at how much fun I'm having playing Diablo III! I tried going back to Diablo II and have played a bunch of Torchlight but they just do not light my fire like Diablo II did for me back 10-12 years ago. I wrongfully assumed that I must not be interested in this type of game anymore. Whelp, I'm making another character now to replay the demo beta again from the melee role.

    I can't afford the $60 to drop on this game yet so no preorder from me but I'll stick it on my wish list. Maybe it'll be a birthday gift in June.

    fuckin' janissaries

    I'm playing Assassin's Creed: Revelations right now

    every time I see these mooks I think of Volyu

    on Diablo III: I played some of the beta today, for the first time in months

    it's like a different game!

    a much better one

    though I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that exploding palm isn't a primary for the monk anymore

    thought they cut it out altogether at first

    on torchlight: sooooo overrated

    basically diablo 1.5 with one good idea (the dog/cat)

    Yeah, Torchlight doesn't...well...hold a torch to Diablo 3, but it was easier to play and easier on the eyes than Diablo 2. I think I went down 8 levels or so though before I got bored.

    So.

    So I was trying really hard to not get super-excited about this game, because I am too busy to give up on life and become a hermit for at least a month.

    But umm, playing this monk has been super fun times.

    super fun and I haven't even given it a go together with anyone else yet.

    I haven't tried multiplayer yet either. Is the difficulty adjusted to account for the extra people in the same area?

    Monsters get more dangerous when people join your game, even if they're all the way back in town. From what the people doing the in house testing, you do NOT split the party up in the harder difficulties if you want to live.

    In what we can access in the beta, you can just run around on your own even with 3 other people in the game making the monsters harder and not care.

    Definitely pay attention to where the switches for those are, because even though the beta is easy those things make quite a show!

    @Sara Lynn can pre-order it from WalMart or Best Buy still, according to their website.

    I like the influx of new players who don't know quite what to do yet, gives me a lot of time to solo the Cathedral on 4-player difficulty which is much more fun than crushing everything effortlessly. Also more people trying the game and getting to see how cool it is!

    Demon Hunter was fun. First play through of her ever today (I've done Barb, Wizard, Monk, Witch Doc a few times each, just avoided the DH for some reason).

    Then you get Withering Strikes for Rapid Fire, at the same level as Bola Strike (might have the wording wrong).

    HOLY GOD.

    That, + vault + the passive that makes you run 60% faster after vaulting....I'm pretty much loving the DH now.

    Alright two things

    One, is it a known thing for the game to 'hitch up' seemingly when loading new resources for that session, like heretofore unseen animations, models, textures, etc? Or am I the only one getting that

    Two, barbarian or wizard

    True, but I can see the potential now, whereas before I was having a hard time.

    The hitching I would guess is because you're not actually fully downloaded yet.
