I suggest you go back and watch the video again, as you seem to have forgotten what was actually said. The guy in the video simply said he died in Nightmare, he said nothing about how many times. The other fella said people will get their asses handed to them in Nightmare and above. Based upon that, it's quite clear they died multiple times in Nightmare. One doesn't say something like that while casually strolling through a level.

i lawl at your niavety bud. for the D2 veterans here we know how hard nightmare will ACTUALLY be. and it will still be a breeze for ppl who arent stupid/scrubs.

i will post my first playthroughs of NM and hell and show how hard its not.

give the guy a break this will be lots of peoples first Diablo experience considering the last one came out over ten years ago.

Yeah.... I'm still one of the elitists that get annoyed at how blizzard lets anyone with a battle net account get beta. I really think you should have to have diablo 2 tied to your account for beta access (or at least a preorder).

I'm even more annoyed at all the forum noobs that came on this site just to gloat about getting beta (and have < 10 posts).

Because no of posts = being uber pro... right?

1. So we have decided to go wtih the wow stat system? What happened to putting stats into your character i guess that allowed for to much thinking, creativity and thought. Cant have that. gotta get diablo 3 into the mmo fold.

2. Instead of spending points to unlock abilities, which ill be honest isnt a revolutionary idea by any stretch but now we have an even more dumbed down system where you can pick from a pool of all abilities and use any 6 at a time? Can you say guild wars? Again having to put point into somthing, and make decisions is to complicated for gamers much better to just give you access to every ability and allow you to change on the fly so as not to force you to think to much.

3. Cant even post on the official beta boards because it says my game time has expired

4. This is the worst running beta i have ever played, Latency, stuttering, error codes you name it. I played swtor, and wow through most of there beta testing and i have to say its not even close. This game is not in the ball park of being close to release, despite blizzards best efforts to gut as much content, and as many graphicical animations as humanly possible to toss this game out the door. It will be 6 months minimum before this game releases.

5. The auction house uses real money.... ??? i had read about this hoped it was a joke, nope.

6. No single player option, not even an option..................theres a blue explanation but its just not valid. you buy a game you expect to be able to play it end of story regardless of what the status of your network is, part of bringing diablo 3 closer in the mmo fold..


In summary this game is bad, Real bad not in the way starcraft 2 was. You see starcraft 2 was actually a great game, however it was starcraft 1 with a paint job, not a whole lot new some polish some flair but it was the same game which was good in the fact that it didnt take a step backwards but bad in the way that i was hoping for just a glimmer of original though from blizzard. however with diablo 3 this is not the case this game takes about a thousand steps backward with the mmo style stat system, real money auction house, no single player etc. etc. What your left with is a game that looks and plays like diablo 2 with a paint job except that instead on improving the orignal by adding unique and original ideas we dumb the game down, butcher free thought and creativity, and make it so that no one who ever plays this game will ever have to think about anything.

As far as this game running like crap, its blizzard im sure that it will run fine at release however i just wanted to point out the horrid! performance because i know alot of people are waiting for this game and i just dont see how it could possibly be out qtr 1.

Good luck fans!!!

"I've played diablo 2 pvp competitive and a ton of other strategy games such as heroes and newerth etc, and I know what I'm talking about when I'm stating something is REALLY unbalanced here. Either Shadow Power requires a buff or WotB a nerf."

^ full derp

You've obviously never compeated in Diablo 2 since you are not aware that the competitions are far from always are directly PVP. There were Iron man and ladder contests etc.

Stop behaving like an idiot.

Quote from italofoca

Unless you're a game designer you kno nothing about balance.

This is a matter of math.

Even so, the game designers rarely are good at balancing their games. They make wonderful worlds, but rarely balanced ones.

For instance, it took the game designers more than a year to release that wind fury could proc on wind fury in world of warcraft and release a chain reaction. They also did not realise a paladin could one shot onyxia at level 60. The community on the other hand, noticed these problems within the first week of release.

If I'm wrong in my math somewhere or missing out a valid point, please raise it. As it is now you're no smarter than christians saying "if you're not god, you cannot criticise his work."

• Barbarian = Melee = Has to be in your face. (If not in melee range when activated... the skill is wasted)
• Demon Hunter = ranged... can shoot, run, shoot, run.

• Barbarian = Fury based = This costs a resource that doesn't naturally regen (unless you blow a passive on it)... in fact it degenerates.
• Demon Hunter = Discipline = A secondary resource. The demon hunter can still hatred spam while out of discipline. Additionally, Discipline regenerates naturally.. and has additional ways to regenerate.

• MOST IMPORTANTLY: THIS IS NOT A PVP GAME. Do not base a skills worth by comparing it directly against a different class' skill. That's akin to complaining that a pound of gold isn't equal to a pound of silver.

Quote from GhostLoad

Well, you're obviously very passionate about your dislike of LinkX & your stance on his anarchistic tendencies. I just want to say that maybe we could approach the whole 'pirating' situation from the opposite direction? Maybe the laws we have in place are outdated and not completely relevant to the digital age? Perhaps... and this may be shocking to some but, make it so what is considered 'digital piracy' not-illegal? Who knows, I'm just throwing ideas around.

Quote from Braveheart

To answer the original question, yes Blizzard has messed up with the beta. You aren't "stressing" the servers by only inviting a couple people.

But no, the hype is not dead for the game, just the beta. A lot of people were expecting to get in, and about .1% of them did.

Quote from Sabvre

Matter cannot be created without energy, and energy cannot be created... Only change forms. Simply put, science creates a paradox in which we should and cannot exist without a higher power. God may not be a being on a throne... He may not even have the capacity to be self aware... But science points to the fact that something sparked the universe/ multiverse/ big bang.

You can try to reply and question god's origin... But that logic is flawed. If he/it lies outside of the rules of realitivistic physics.. then time does not appt and no origin is required.

It is quite honestly more simple minded to claim there is no god than to worship the great pumpkin.

All you are saying is that we don't yet understand what the universe was like before the big bang. It must be possible for matter to be created, because matter "exists" right now. We only experience matter changing forms and being converted to energy, but somehow the matter got created in the first place. Our universe may be the result of a previous universe that collapsed back on itself, maybe there have been N universes prior to ours.

God is not a solution/answer to this mystery any more than ancient greeks blaming things on celestial movements.
