Guys, i have been HUNTING beta for pretty long time. A lot of contest and of course beta opt-in. I got it throught my friend's friend from USA, and to be honest! It's not worth that effort! You probably have seen all gameplay videos and all classes playthroughts. I tried my DH and beated beta, well it was fun, but not as much as i expected. You have seen ALL AVAILABLE CONTENT and playing it wont satisfy you as much as you hope! I promis this! You better w8 for complete release than just try this little tease and then try to replay it as much as possible. Iam not saying that it is not good, but it's not worth w8ing hours for results, just let it be. Focus on something else and you will be surprised how fast release will come.
its all opinions tho. There are people who play the beta for 20 mins (get one character to maybe 10) then never touch the beta again. There are people who play a little bit of each class, then never play again. And then there are people STILL play the beta that got in on patch 5 for example. The beta will appeal to different people in different ways. Some it will be all they want it to be, others it won't

You pretty much said it exactly as it is. I just thought people are too frustrated about it. And as we say in Slovakia, somethimes you must first stop wanting something to get it! GL all with that

I agree with you sir. It is a matter of opinion.
I see the same thing, my brother hardly plays, I am obsessed and my wife is having a blast. I know two other people personlay in the beta and one is the so-so player (he just wants release) and the other couldnt care less.
if you really want to play it, go rent somebody's account for a day. it's like $5 for 24 hours. definitely helped with the waiting game for me. i played for twelve hours and was still having fun, so it's definitely a matter of opinion, but the content does get old after a couple hours. luckily the path of exile beta came along and gave me something to do.
Ive played over 30 hours of beta but im totaly bored of it , you can always try to craft some gear and get perfect gear but its pointless because even with average gear you just one shot everything . Game is awsome , easy mod isnt .

I know 2 people who have the beta. One guy cant put it down and wont even let me play it! I saved this guy's life from a mugging and almost got shoot doing so. Some friend right lol. The other got banned for something. I have no idea what he did but he doesn't talk about it. I've seen countless videoes of Diablo 3 and I'm pone of those people who really wants a to play the beta. I don't care if someone says its boring or the greatnest thing in the world. You and your wife lucky and I tip my hat to you both.
I signed up for beta on battle.net but I didn't participate in any contest or tried anything to get a beta key, and at this point I think I just prefer to wait for the complete game. I also didn't check any videos of the beta streaming to avoid as much spoilers as possible.
I had given up hunting for a beta key, but I still want one. The reasons:
I want to see the game run in my pc and see if it looks good visually,
the music (is it more like Diablo 1 or 2),
the lag / ping,
will it really be worth my money,
bragging rights to my friends & bros
how to be a beta tester (report bugs, be a part of a gaming history, etc)
uber happiness
i agree with this list, my reason too. except the braging part all my stupid friends are in it
(my CoD and WoW friends none of my RL friends play games).
I myself am a huge Diablo fan. Content in the beta is so limited, that it's inevitable to get a bit bored with it. No super cool items, same monsters time and time again. Same quests, dialogue, yadda, yadda, yadda. The beta is absolutely awesome, don't get me wrong. But if you thought the wait to get into the beta is painful, then just wait until you play it. You will then be brought to your pain threshold: The wait until release. I still play the beta daily, because hey, why not? It's still very satisfying to hit homeruns with skeletons and throw jars of spiders at Carrion Bats, but it becomes very repetitious.
You will know exactly what I'm talking about when you finally play the beta.
P.S. - For those trying their hardest to boycott the beta and streams to have an absolutely fresh and new experience on release, I salute you!
I'm also bidding on next week for the great announcement, and even more after this tweet.
And for the Beta. Well I got my hands on it recently (thanks to Dfans contests) and I must say it's really fun even after I beat the Skeleton Kings 10 times so, I think it really depends on the person.
But you're right about the fact that there is absolutely nothing else to see than what you saw on playthrough on youtube so..
I'm quite content with not having played the beta. The videos and reading reviews and posts have been good enough for me. Guess I'm just too much of an old fart to get too worked up over a small piece of a game. lol

Its much easier said than done. I hammer the beta at every oppertunity and its awesome! One thing that should be said is what works for you is one thing what works for others is different. Ive put in over 13hrs on my WD (trying different stuff and doing a bit of farming to have a play on the AH) and now im playing through on my Barbarian. Folks not in beta I wish you all the best of luck with the new wave of invites going out and hope for everyones sake, release date isnt too far towards the middle of the year.
