      The only ones I really can't stand are the ones that take up the whole background. The one or two that are placed throughout the layout I can handle, =\.

      I think having Curse Premium removes any/all ads though, which is part of the deal there.

      As you are all completely aware, the Friends & Family phase of Beta testing has begun a few days ago, that in mind, what kind of content would you like to see the most? We want to be sure that we're not only producing lots of content, but we want to make sure that we're giving you all what you want to see!

      • Class play-throughs
      • System overviews
      • Commentary/Play experiences
      • Co-op
      • Other (Let us know below!)

      In our previous poll, we wanted to know which resource system/mechanic was your favorite... And it seems like the majority of you liked the Wizard's Arcane Power, followed up by an almost 3-way tie between the Barbarian's Fury, the Monk's Spirit, and the Demon Hunter's Split resource.




      The Friends & Family testing phase has officially begun and you're all in for some real treats. If you missed the twenty-fourth episode, you can check it out here. Otherwise, the twenty-fifth episode covered the following topics:



      If you've missed any previous episodes, check the archive!

      The second patch of the Diablo III Friends & Family Beta has just been released! As expected, it's really all just bug fixes, though it seems they have changed the Character Skill UI. I'm actually really diggin' the Skill UI changes, we no longer have to scroll through the list of skills to see everything! Yay!

      Yup, what Don and Molster said. Aside from that, the D3 forums were moved to the top because that's what people are coming for. Those that are looking for news can find it on the front-page. In addition, the latest news post is always in a box at the very top of the forum. If you're looking to report a bug/suggestion for the site or help on the wiki, you'd be more inclined to scroll through the forum as opposed to someone who is just coming looking for D3 info.

      Sure, once HC is added into the Beta or the release, I think, :).

      As crazy as this may sound, no, the Friends & Family Beta has not started yet.

      Are you sure of that or is it just a guess, becouse the deleted topic from Blizzard beta page that was posted from Baalrok sure looked like the Beta F&F has started.
      I'm sure.

      Quote from NaDannMaGoGo

      Oh woah. I know it's not what one is supposed to do. But I actually just registered to say that it's pretty damn shitty of´Sixen to actually spoil information in his text, not giving a shit if we actually want to read any of them.
      Providing links to something is one thing and totally fine, outright spoiling stuff within the text (as Runner55 already mentioned) is another thing. Just so stupid.
      I'm sorry that you weren't aware that the story would be ending at some point and there would be a secret level. I thought that the story would come to an end was obvious. And easter eggs are also a given.

      posted a message on Diablo III Beta Client Leaks

      I'm sure most of you are already aware, a lot of Diablo III Beta information has been leaked over the long weekend. As crazy as this may sound, no, the Friends & Family Beta has not started yet. Unfortunately, while Blizzard has stripped the actual data out of the client, it seems as if the Stringlist files (text) for everything past Act I still remain in the client. That in mind, it's very simple to datamine some information that spoils the story progression, for example, the secret level and the end of the game. When I first stumbled upon this information myself a week or two ago, I knew it was bound to come out sometime, I just assumed that we'd have a little bit more time before it did actually come out. Regardless, being in the official fansite program, I would prefer not to leak information that isn't already out on the net (yes, there is still information that has yet to be found), however it is our job on DiabloFans to keep the player base informed of all the happenings with the game. Here are some recent topics about the leaks:


      And there are a ton more threads within our forums. All I ask is that you please be courteous when talking about lore and what not, use spoilers and spoiler warnings to forewarn people. As far as our news goes, as I stated previously, we will be keeping you informed of the current buzz within the community.

      I like it, puts diablo 3 right at the top, and has the classes as their own forums!

      only thing I dont like is haven the "news and announcements" so low down now.. but I can easily live with that ^_^
      I kinda thought the same, but there's the little "latest announcement" thingy right at the top of the forum too, and the rest is always right on the f/p, :D.

      Quote from overneathe

      Pretty much everything anywhere on this site right now is Beta related. I don't see a reason for a separate section for it personally. :]
      Yeah, I agree with this. I could add a "Diablo III Beta Discussion," but everything is about Beta anyway, so... it doesn't make sense to split it.

      posted a message on DiabloCast: Episode XXIV

      Just recently, Blizzard put their new Diablo III Community Site to work by tossing up a blog post on the basics of each classes' Resource System. This weeks' poll is simple! We want to know what your favorite resource is, be sure to let us know why in the comments!

      • Fury
      • Mana
      • Arcane Power
      • Spirit/Combo Points
      • Hatred/Discipline

      In our previous poll, we wanted to know what made the Diablo franchise your favorite out of all of Blizzard's other worlds, and it appears that the majority of you do it for t3h lewtz!




      It seems as if the Beta has struck us harder than ever just this week, so of course this is what we discuss! If you missed the twenty-third episode, you can check it out here. Otherwise, the twenty-fourth episode covered the following topics:

      posted a message on Leaked Beta Footage
      For discussion, head over to the thread.



      I want to start this off by saying that the Beta has not yet begun. This was leaked from an ex-Blizzard employee, who must've been in the Beta prior to it beginning.

      Now, normally we don't post leaks and the like, but I figure with Beta fever and the lack of information from the Webcast this morning, you'd all love to see some cool stuff... That in mind, he's posted up a video (as seen below) as well as a gallery.


      Now, you may notice if you pause at just the right moment that Skill Videos are displayed on the character creation screens... Don't they look familiar? It also explains why the videos had no sound to them. Either the sound is added programmatically inside D3, or there is just no sound on them period. Regardless, those videos were extracted from the Beta client and leaked to the web, they were not supposed to be used for any Community posts or game guides, or anything else that we may have speculated on.

      It's also worth mentioning that two new D3 Beta-only subforums have been added to the Community Site, the Feedback Forum and the Bug Report Forums.

      posted a message on ActivisionBlizzard WebCast Analyst Day
      Looks like the Cast just began, please note this is really just a business analytical type thing, it is not a Conference Call. If you'd like to listen in yourself, you may do so here. Otherwise, I'll update this post with anything relevant when the time comes. Mike Morhaime will be on the Cast later today (the cast is 3hrs and 45 minutes, >.>).

      Feel free to join us in IRC to chit chat as well.




      11:15 - Mike Morhaime said that Diablo 3 would be heading into Beta "later this month," with the slide showing "Beta in Sept '11). Other than that, they talked a little bit about the Auction House plans, SC2 (Blizz DotA will be a new game mode!), and Cataclysm. They also showed a Demon Hunter teaser video to the viewers physically there.

      11:20 - Rob Pardo talks about the Battle.net progression (from D1 -> D3) and the Auction House. This is the same presentation we saw at the Press Event in July.

      11:30 - Pardo confirms that they will have a mobile/web interface for the AH post-release, as well as the ability to buy/sell characters.

      11:45 - Pardo hands it off and Blizzard is done speaking.

      11:55 - Thomas Tippl (COO and CFO of ActiBlizz) confirms that there will be a D3 Expansion within 3 years after the release of D3 itself, two SC2 expansions (which we already knew), and two more WoW expansions.
