In short: we like that there are different itemization choices, and that players often have to weigh their options when comparing gear in order to be the most efficient, to have the greatest DPS, to find the best loot, etc. We do appreciate the feedback, though! (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Will Invulnerable Minions Ever Return?
We don’t have any current plans for the Invulnerable affix to rear its head and return. We felt it was a frustrating affix for many players, and that it was out of line with the other affixes, which is why we removed it. In a similar way, we feel that the Reflects Damage affix isn’t quite where we want it to be, which is why we’re looking intomaking some adjustments to the mechanics of how it works, as well as fixing a related bug.

Best Songs While Playing Diablo?
It depends greatly on my mood and what hero I'm playing, but lately I find myself playing a lot of Nightwish, Amethystium, E.S. Posthumus, Two Steps from Hell, movie soundtracks (such as the work of James Newton-Howard, Hans Zimmer, and Danny Elfman), and Imagine Dragons when I play Diablo III. :) (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

I'm curious as to weather or not PvP is the only thing left before the expansion or if thye have other unannounced stuff.
Also thanks for the chance for a beta key, hopefully If i have no luck here they will give me access for pre-ordering the CE copy already.

There certainly should be something except PvP before expansion. Probably they will try to fix useless stats or improve itemization.

Barbarians will have trouble getting fury in a PvP situation while DH will just need to wait and get it.
I hope in another month we will have a better idea !

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask

One can always hope that PVP will come sooner then.

And I find it very sad that even blues don't play D3 OST while playing.
No wonder, you can't really call it a OST, it's barely some background ambiance noise.
D2 soundtrack is immortal, and I still play with it everyday like I did for 12 years.
And I'm a D3 enthusiast, but really, the music failed completely.
P.S. I hope I entered the giveaway!!!
