Wow, your post is riddled with assumptions and fallacies.Quote from time4war
The title says it all...
I'm over this bullshit they're about to release, I hope something changes.
Firstly, you're mad because you're waiting for the game, and that has ruined your enthusiasm? That makes no sense, haven't you every waited for anything in your life? What do you do between seasons of a series you're watching? Or a movie that get's announced only to have it's release date pushed back? Not to be a prat, but patience is a part of growing up, you learn to deal with small things like waiting. If you don't get something now, then its pointless to throw a fit, screaming 'I don't want it anymore'.
Secondly, how exactly do you know you will be hitting the level cap in two weeks, unless you plan on playing non stop for two weeks, in which case I'm happy for you, since the rest of us need to do mundane tasks such as sleep and work. Apparently the time needed to finish hell will be equivalent to the time it took to finish hell in D2, which is quite a bit.
And how are you planning on destroying inferno? At Blizzcon they stated that you will need to farm hell gear just to survive inferno. So good luck 'destroying' it. And you plan to do all of that on hardcore? Watch some of the Blizzcon videos where they get two shots, then make that claim.
Also, you plan to farm for four years? You know they will be releasing extra content in that time, right? Just checking.
Lastly, 'zero competitive play'... Are you blind, or did you fail to see the deathmatch arena's available at launch. If you call that zero, then I don't know because it's one more PvP mode than D2 had (unless you count toggling it on an 'option'). And are you deaf, or did you fail to notice them saying at Blizzcon that they intend to put in a duel system sometime after launch?
You know, people like you abolish my hope in humanity. You jump on your high horse, saying things like "they pushed the release back, that's distasteful" "we will be done with it in two weeks, then destroy the hardest difficulty" "I'm so over the bullshit they've made, they better change it". You seem like the obnoxious type who go out of their way to anger people.
And for what exactly? If that's how you get your jollies then go insult minorities with some racial slurs, at least then you'll get a good kick out of it.

Yes, only letters.
No foreign letter (å ä ö etc)
No apostrophes (é ' ñ etc)
No symbols ($ ! - etc)
No spaces
Between 3-12 characters in length.
Case sensitive (You can be: DERP, derp or derP if you want).
Names are not unique (You can have 4 DERP's if you want. And any other player may also have DERP's)
That is how it is in beta atm. Remember that things may change for release.

Levelcap.se (Swedish Blizzard fansite) had a beta key contest recently where you could enter with any kind of art, picture, song or whatever as long as it related to Diablo in some way.
I have always wanted to do something from Diablo within minecraft so I figured I would go ahead and give it a shot.
I decided to recreate the town of New Tristram from the beta.
Disclaimer: The project is not really completed, it's only part of the town (although the most important part I may say). The contest was due for today so I had to upload this anyway. I will likely continue this project (hopefully if I win a key I can get some better looks at the environments).
Some things I had to improvise a bit with since it's hard to recreate everything, but I tried to be as accurate as possible.
This was all done in creative mode by hand. Texture pack is DokuCraft Dark.
Disclaimer 2: Sorry for the loud rain noise, didn't expect it to pick up that much. Also the rendered video got a bit dark, but it kinda fits the Diablo theme anyway :).

If users suddenly start to drop dead with suspicious hamster-teeth shaped marks in their neck don't say I didn't warn you.

And while an idea like this would be awesome, I'm also afraid of the huge pain in the ass it would be to have to chose between five different copies.. because I'm not sure my wallet would enjoy having to cough up CE x 5.

What is this I don't even..
It was pretty funny to watch though

Official Blizzard Quote:
We've talked about this with the development team a good deal. While it's very likely you'll see tweaks here and there to classes and creatures throughout beta, there's still a learning curve of which you're only seeing its miniscule beginning.
The way that difficulty ramps up through an entire play through of the game -- and then again with each difficulty setting -- resource management, crowd control, skill use, etc. become extremely important. As far as beta content goes, we more or less want your grandmother to be able to pick a class and have reasonable success up to the Skeleton King (I mean no disrespect to grandmothers! I'm just using a stereotypical illustration in jest to put some perspective on the learning curve for the beginning of the game.)
So in all honesty, resource management shouldn't be a very big concern on Normal difficulty up to the Skeleton King. We've tried tuning the numbers in various ways around the board. We've found that the gameplay of having to worry or focus too much on resource management while just starting out and on this difficulty setting, is pretty crappy. This isn't World of Warcraft. We want you feeling comfortable wearing down your poor mouse and keyboard.
I really hate to say "don't knock it 'til you've tried it," as I know the response from most people here would be, "well let me friggin' try it!" But the point still stands. We want you to feel pretty good when you're starting out. We don't want you to shy away from spamming your skills and feeling really powerful. You'll actually learn pretty quickly this way how your resources regenerate and how to manage them -- you'll learn what you're capable of. That's what an action RPG is all about to us. That said, and as with all Blizzard games, you'll have to trust me when I say this one is easy to learn, but will be difficult to master.
That's right.. your grandmother should be able to beat it. </thread>

I'd just suggest you don't bother too much about it.
