i was told that you really dont get much from the collectors edition, and its not worth the extra 40 bucks.

all you get is a few books, some dvd's and a usb drive.. doesnt give you any "specials" when you play online

 

You were told wrong.

Yes you do. Wings and dyes.

oh and this alone is worth it:

 

Yeah, I know.

But I'm not trying to get anything special out of it. I just like the fact that it's the collector's edition. I've been a long time Blizzard fan, so I'm just trying to give them back something for their great work.

I hate the fact that they are trying to milk the revenue out of Starcraft series by dividing up the same damn game into 3 parts, but I kinda understand it.

 

Gah I got disconnected from D3 beta again, got 3 different errors trying to reconnect lol

 

Everyone and their dog is trying to play this.

I finished it far too quickly yesterday. I can see i'll have a lot of fun next month and little productivity

 

I just realized Max Payne 3 is also coming out on the same day....... dammit.


I'm glad their stress test is having problems now, so we won't have problems on launch. Just wished I had a better PC

 

I pre ordered the Collectors Edition at Future Shop.

 

Just ran the beta on my new computer with my new Samsung 55inch 3D LED TV.

IT'S AMAZING.

This is like one of the best $600 spent this year. yeeeeaaaahhhhh I'm such a geeeeeek

 

pics of setup??

I wanna see the comp next to that giant TV with diablo on it lol

 

Barbarians are totally OP, so are Monks.

 

I finally got to play for a bit, did some co-op with some friends and got a monk to level 9, very fun. Can't wait for release!

 

Watched my friend play it for a bit, he's been more excited for D3 than any other game in his entire life. Seemed fun, but I was too busy play Mass Effect 3 multiplayer

As soon as D3 comes out though, I'll hop on board

 

And mages...

 

Female Mages FTW

 

They buffed the mages. The first one I tried to level was pretty painful. I would get overwhelmed with baddies really easily. I think I died the most as a mage.

 

and Demon Hunters, and especially Witch Doctors.

 

You died in beta? How?

 

The female mages are the hawtest

 

lol i had a hardcore demon hunter...luckily i didnt die. But i couldnt seem to find any 1 handed crossbow gun things. Couldnt craft any and nothing good dropped. I wonder if they took that out of the beta since I dual wielded some when the beta was closed.

Out of the 3 characters I tried during this open beta i'd say the demon hunter was the harder one, mainly due to the squishiness and weak weapons. trapping and stunning are pretty OP though. Kept stunning the king at the end.

also how many rares did you guys find? I only got 3: 2 for my barbarian and 1 for my hunter which wasnt even that good..

 

I can't say much about this open beta, but I did play the closed beta a lot last month.

The key with that closed beta was that if you make a new character and kill the skeleton king, you WILL get 1-2 rare items. After you kill him, you won't get any more rare items from the skeleton king.

So I probably created 15 different new characters and killled the skeleton king right away. I gather sooooo many rare items.

And I used them for my 2 main characters, a female mage and a female demon hunter. Then I basically crafted every item that can be had for level 13 from that guy in the town.

The game got boring after I got everything. haha

But you know, it's just a beta. I'm sure we will NEVER get bored of this game. We will be able to play this game probably more than 10 years.

 

I managed to find one yellow item, it was an axe called the Doom Bringer or something.

 

I found tons of rares, once I got 2 from the SK and another time I found one in a barrel. That was randomly awesome.

1 handed crossbows were in the beta. They were awesome......dual wielding with increased attack speed = machine gun badass.

I also found that crafting my own items gave me better results than those that I found. I was surprised at the fact that you can craft rare items too! Should be tons of fun and wasted money :p

p.s. Every thing, character, skill, and weapon is OP in this game according to y'all :P

 

Pretty much. I felt like this the whole time:

I guess the Nightmare and Hell levels are crazy hard this time. So it won't be easy for anyone.

 

If you are a fan of this game, this should be a great read.

The developer of Diablo from Blizzard explain the differences between Diablo 2 and 3. It's LONG.

It was the first class I made. Mages had no way to keep things off you. When I first started beta, mages were waaaayyy under-tuned.

 

Dieing in the beta was possible......like when you're being surrounded by 4 unburied with a unique one and your potion cooldown is still going.

 

wait are we talking about the female wizard class? lol funny i knew a girl that dressed up as one for blizzcon '10.

 

Didn't get to play much started with a barb got a rare 18+dmg single hand crossbow then i rolled a dh and melted faces holy shit seemed op

I thought barb dh and wd were most fun for me but don't know what I should roll for main game...

I pre-ordered collectors from local best buy, do I walk into midnight release get it and leave? fuck having hella random heads around when i wanna get it and play asap

 

wahhhhh? we can actually pick up the game at the best buy at midnight??

 

I went in today and they will have a midnight release don't know about others. Do I walk in get it and leave? I don't want to wait thru any bs, just get it get home and start grinding

 

Also anyone know what that skull is made of? I feel like having it for my grill emblem mwa haha

 

I dont know if it'll make any difference if you can get it tonight. If Blizzard's smart you wont be able to play the game since the content's controlled on the server side. yay for DRM.

lol nvm misread. But i'm not surprised if it'll be a midnight release..Don't worry guys, it's not like they'll run out..no need to wait in line anymore for games..

 

whoa whoa whoa save the grinding talk for wow.

this is awesomeness and clicking.

 

played beta and i'm undecided. it was fun. but not as much fun as i had playing d2 and lod expansion. and i'm not happy that the game is limited to 4 players.

i played dh first...had some trouble cuz i didn't know she could use bows/xbows...thought it was only 1h xbows. then i tried out monk, and wizard and beat the beta. went back to DH and finished SK...started a WD but didn't go through to the end. WD is quite boring. reminds me of necromancers a lot and they were super boring in the beginning too. i wish they let us get higher lvled...i wanted to see more skills than what we were allowed to use.

 

It's a "Beta". What do you expect?

 

i'm not saying my beta experience was bad. it was good. it was more of a cock tease than anything. definitely could see myself investing tons of time into this game. i'm reading that developers long ass postings about the differences in d2 and d3...i'm starting to like d3 even more now. wallet is itching...my cc wants to be used...

 

yeah i have some little doubts about the new system before too. i didn't think it was going to be better than d2.

but after i read that long ass thread, it made so much sense. it WILL be MUCH better. it's like they just supercharged and turbocharged the D2.

 

Book of Cain arrived today. Time to read up on some goodies

 

Wait if i pre order it from blizzard can I play it right after midnight est?
