DiabloFans

To all the dissent about the creation of accounts at the dawn of these contests, how else would you have Diablofans distribute them. It does make sense to award them to loyal posters who are well known in the community and will likely give strong feedback regarding the beta. But from the point of view of the website developers it makes much more sense to not put this limitation on their site because finally all of the lurkers are creating accounts and will begin to contribute. But I know what you are thinking, that is that they will post only for the contest and nothing else, and largely that will be true, but not in every situation. The point is that with all of this new traffic and accounts this website will grow, if anything in popularity that will allow for higher financial return which means more development towards the site, making it better for everyone.

There is of course the situation where multiple accounts are made by the same user; there is no proper justification for this and Diablofans will not be able to limit it without limiting the other real user. Hopefully they have a method to proof against users placing multiple entries.

There will likely be some builds that are "ideal" for certain situations, but from what I understand, Blizzard is working their hardest to make so no single combination of similar abilities is better than the other. What I have in mind is that if there is a build that is far superior than one that uses the Archon ability, I will still use the Archon ability because I like it, It doesn't become a game of maximizing output, it becomes a game of doing what you want to do because you prefer a certain play style.

Hello, This build has playing with a party in mind in pve. The idea is to act as a destructive force of unstoppable arcane damage with taking into account minimal survivability. The survivability will stem from the teammates allowing the wizard to maximize their damage output. Alone it would be difficult to use as a high level but with allies to support you it will be highly volatile.

Thank you for this opportunity.

I highly doubt the appearance of an open beta, even in a weekend format. Blizzard has plainly stated why such an event would only hinder their development.

Ugh, I am so jealous. But congratulations!!!

I have been playing Diablo 2 and Starcraft 2 in my spare time. Playing a bone nec in single player slowly working my way up to baal in hell. In Starcraft I began playing league competitively which is very fun and very stressful, but its a sound activity. Yes I am a huge blizzard er, prostitute, can we say whore in the forums?

Word on the street is that quite a few people have a similar interest as you, but, thats just what I hear.

I am looking forward to mainly playing with real life friends. I am planning on pulling as many people I know into it aside form my brothers and other real life who share a number of online games with me. I plan to rarely or never play with strangers, but it is likely to happen anyways. I never expected to meet people over Starcraft, but I have made friends through there too.

Adding those bonuses would make them mandatory, it will not be required, but people looking to maximize their drops would no longer have the choice to farm whatever zone they want. Without this bonus people can choose where they want to play based on which zone they like, the scenery, monsters and story will be the determining factors of the zones I will frequent or maybe after a while we will go somewhere we haven't been for a while. By making this bonus it would be seemingly required to do these full runs to maximize drop potential.

Make it difficult and for the love of everything that is beautiful please never nerf it, never, I do not want 5% debuffs, I do not want an "easier" inferno mode that drops less than savory gear, I want a challenge that makes you feel good when you finish it and then lets you come back and struggle again.

My money, and by money I mean my guess on the D3DB release date contest, is on June 5th.

The monk will definitely be sitting at the top for a while, especially in player vs. player. It will require a skilled kiter to avoid their huge bursts of damage and their survivability is absurd. Teams of monks will become nails on a chalkboard for players due to their several survival and heal abilities.

It shouldn't be too bad once he gets the hang of it. I have played Diablo 2 a lot with the trackpad and it has been not as easy as with a mouse but it is definitely doable. Diablo 3 is more complex especially with the hotbar but the way blizzard designed it I can't imagine it would be very difficult to use the trackpad in normal and nightmare but once you get into hell and inferno a mouse will become much more relevant.

Great stream, give it a gander, very receptive and very responsive.
