Would help if I HAD the beta!

Bah why is it NO ONE I know has got the beta!! I want to play so bad.

I'm not impressed just means your not a true diablo fan! Wasting a key to rush through the content how pathetic.

No Disrespect but saying "the fact that the pvp system will not be competitive" is very narrow minded. Look at D2, it had absolutely no pvp features other than being able to kill other players yet D2 had a very competitve pvp community. So considering D3 already has more features for pvp saying that it is a "fact" that it won't be competitive is extremly ignorant. I for one believe that it will still be very competitive and it will be because the community will make it this way.

Just some thoughts that came up during the cast. First with spoilers I think hearing about the game is totally different than actually playing for yourself. Next I see the new possible rune system like I see gear people are going to grind for those perfect sets of affixes to gear so whaat the difference with rune? Sure it will be hard to get ur lvl 7 rune but I think that's part of the fun. Also runes won't ever be trash, just because a particular rune doesn't work for you doesn't mean someone else wont find it viable.

Pvp wasn't supported in D2 except that you could kill other players. The way I look at it D3 already has way more features in place than d2 had and besides D2 was very competitive even without those features so I wouldn't just yet let this get to you pvpers I don't see anything wrong with the current system in place. They can only improve on this in the long run. Also don't worry about what gear someone has jay and bashiok have already explained that matchmaking will definately differentiate by ur gear.

So these are just a few of my own thoughts of why people shouldn't be raging so much.

Question - How does the stone work? Does it have any cool downs or limitations? Or is it just an unlimited scroll of tp?

It has a cast time in which if you are damaged you have to start over, other than that I believe it is unlimited.

I read your first sentence and said "troll"

Quote from Doomscream

I didn't think that in a Diablo game, there might be something like too much customization. It the case with runes, this gets a little bit over the top. It will be a pain a real pain to find the rune with the right modifier, and with the right amount... In my opinion it will just get too overwhelming.

I disagree, how is this any more tedious than looking for that exact right piece of armor or weapon? I think the added stats should be looked at like more of just an added bonus "oh cool my rune gave me x stats" and not base runes solely on what stats they do give. Thats how the majority of people will play, there will be the few however that will be very particular and go looking for the exact right rune stats for their build.

Furry huh?? I loled

worst news that they could announce is a release date of 2012 or longer.

wow didnt expect it to be THIS bad... Talk about an epic disappointment!!

#D3 open beta is not live yet. We're working on some last minute config issues but expect it to be ready very soon. Hold tight!

SO.... MANY...... WHINERS...

seriously, stfu kids. the game will come out when it is ready and your bitching and moaning about it doesn't help. we all want to play the game.

the point of an increased difficulty is not to make the game impossible but force you to employ strategy while slaying. i hope it's hard and it stays hard. whoever said "one hour boss fights - do not want" you are deaf, because he said they spent one hour wiping on the boss, not the boss took one hour then they wiped. they could've had 10 attempts in that hour.

casuals stick to normal. you can experience the whole game there. the rest of us will fight for the prestige and gear in the higher difficulty levels.

Some people want runes to create 5 new skills. Some people want runes to only enhance the original skill. Blizzard knows this and has found a nice balance amongst all of the skills and runes,

some are skill changing completely. Others just add a simple elemental attack. You cannot please everyone but I think Blizzard has done a great job of adding a little of something for everyone.

I would like just a response to confirm the game is going to be out between Jan to March, at this point might as well say Feb or March. I think people would feel a lot better if we just got that. But myself included feel it could be late Feb to March now with all the finishing to be done. 6+ month beta seems to be holding up at least after Bashiok's response.

Official Blizzard Quote:

While it is indeed playable from beginning to end, we’re still actively working on many individual game elements and the ways that they interact with one another, with a great deal of iterative tweaking, balancing, polishing, adjusting, redesigning, and retesting going on.

I understand everything here except "redesigning".

Come on, this is NOT a time to return to the drawing board.

Seconded.

They are not holding up the game because of mechanics and technical issues.

The devs have time to play - because the Sales Department wants every child with a buck, euro, yen, rupee, chicken, blanket to trade - to be able to buy shit from them at release.

(The preceding is my layman's opinion and not fact - I'm not a Blue. Chill.)

Official release date petition post on the d3 website anyone?

I Can already picture it. Right at the end of the cinematic, the Diablo 3 logos comes up and then flashes to the release date.

From the battle.net site of course.

Here's a bigger one.

Anyone know the voice actor for the female wizard? She sounds very familar.
