Yeah, I'm enjoying myself and all. But this constant sense of self-entitlement is sickening. Why had they "better" put them up for another week? Because this was something that was promised to us?

They set up a test for server stability and the like. Yes, we're guinea pigs in this, but perfectly able guinea pigs who can use our own free will to decide whether or not we participate. If this -video game- is something that you feel like you're owed, then you ought to reexamine your life, your priorities, and the things you stress about.

This was never for our benefit, but I'm sure they're happy many of us are enjoying it. I hope that the many people who post on forums demanding that video companies give them free stuff find the means to grow up someday. But I have my doubts it will ever happen.

They also warned everyone that there would likely be server issues and difficulties getting in. Again, we weren't promised anything, other than there would be an open beta that was designed for stress testing. And they have successfully stress tested the servers. People act like stress tests shouldn't affect the servers, but that's their purpose. The company wants to push the server beyond the limit so they can prepare for worst case scenarios for when the game is actually live and you are actually a paying customer.

And no one should whine about pre-ordering or the Annual Pass. You got, and will get precisely the item you paid for upon making that decisions. I see nothing about open betas or guaranteed DIII betas.

they better extend the open beta for a full week

Why? so you can get justified for something that was freely given to you in the first place? It's BETA, get over your damn self.

Lmao! Who the f*ck do some of you peopel think you are? Blizzard didn't have to open the beta to you all since the beta test is done! It's a STRESS TEST on the servers, they only allowed you idiots in so they could see how the servers handle for when D3 is release, the only reason it's going down is for tweaks to the server to help it run better, thus giving us a more stable Diablo 3 live server.

Your name and your tone do not adhere to the same philosophy....

OH snap!!!

Its a 'stress test' beta, not a 'come see if you like this game or not within 48 hours' beta

All I'm hoping for is another 5 hours or so to nab Overachiever~ <3 Feats of Strength, or w/e they'll call em in d3~

yea, there better not be any of this bullshit on may 15

Second!!

Im just glad I get to play the beta for a few hours before release! I was blown away by the complaints and petty complaints on the official forums.. This game is everything I have been waiting for and more. Im an old school Diablo fan (and big lurker here.. ) and I think the game is a perfect update to the franchise. Yes there is alot of differences in the game systems and what not, but the general mood is there. I remember when I was young playing diablo 1 it scared the crap out of me. The game is creepy, and they nailed it. Blizzard you dont owe us anything. Thanks for giving us the chance to play this before release.

Yeah, your beta achievements will not carry over in anyway. Don't bother trying for them.

Even if they don't carry over Betamaxed or Overachiever, I'll still have my pretty screenshot with 100%'s~

yea same, 34200

Bouncing between 37 and 34200 :|



edit: just now

A couple of the servers weren't playing too nice so we've brought them down. You'll likely be seeing a 34200 error.

I dont get it. I was in for a few minutes. got up to grab a snack, came back logged out. went to log in and now all i get is error 34200. Looks like its not just me though.

ah that explains it. thanks for that.

EDIT: btw, getting error 33 now again

How happy are the people who have been waiting for this weekend lmao

I'm just happy we got to pre-play at all! NO COMPLAINTS!!! The only things I'm missing are things I know they purposefully left out of the beta...difficulties, identification, etc. Everything I've seen is just an incredible advancement without changing what d2 was...Yet another blizzard epic.
