Same lol. What do you mean the beta is 'tonight at 3am, may 15th' ?

sorry, that 5 slipped in there. Just too excited for release day. May 1 is when beta is ending, as in 6.5 hrs from now.

I'm going to wet my pants in anticipation.

It'll be a relief for the beta to finally come to a close. Mainly due to burnout and not because it means we're that much closer to release.



...

D3 BETA was the most awfull thing, im still waiting for the final game.

By the way Blizzard are losing a lot of quality in gameplay, SCBW was brilliant demanding game that did KOREA the capital of "E-SPORTS" they change the vision of videogames....SC2 its OK too easy even for casual-noob players they still have time to fix this with HOTS or next expansion, Diablo2 was epic with his original colors,gothic STYLE, gore...D3 looks like another OK but not impressed, there are lot of games with that shinny shitty color style,....ppl need to be more demanding with blizz new games, remember one game StarCraft did in SOUTH KOREA...if your pleased with D3 Beta gameplay style you are mediocre!! who never playhard scbw or d2

You know it's going to be fun when not even Blizzards testers have beaten Inferno yet. Either they were not lying about Inferno, or their testers are bad, most likely the earlier.

haha. he answered 3 questions and became overwhelmed.

It's weird. I'm starting to wonder if Inferno will actually be worth what's sounding like the abysmal slow and difficult (read: frustrating kind of difficult, not "overcoming a good challenge" difficult) process of getting through it. It seems like the strategy will boil down to, get as far as you can, getting any upgrades you can, then start over (or earlier), and try to progress further than you got before - repeat to infinity. But, what is the tradeoff for dying repeatedly? One piece of gear per 50, 100, more deaths (just spitballin' numbers)? And, will the gear be absolutely that much better? It's obviously not for everyone - I definitely want to attempt it, but I'm beginning to think that neither I nor my patience will last very long.

Farm easier content and buy better gear on the AH and you'll be able to progress through Inferno with less deaths if the traditional method is too frustrating for you.

Wow, Inferno sounds hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha yeah.

And SIIIGHHH at the canned response for UI options. If that's the issue, give us an ini file with a complete list of options to turn anything in the UI off and so many people will be happy to go edit that file and turn off stupid annoying things. The "friendly UI" can remain untouched because those people don't care about the more advanced options anyway.

I couldn't agree more, Duck. Oh well, the game will still be epic. -shrug-

beta was fun!
Cannot wait for may 15th.
Hope Inferno is as difficult as they picture it, that they will not nerf it and that there will never be a "ladder reset" (otherwise they should provide a "single player" option for slow players like me)

Let's wait!

Low HP Toggle
Hey Jay, while you're answering Diablo 3 questions -- any chance that we can get a toggle option for the low hp "red alert"?
not likely. If we added every option requested we'd have hundreds and the options screen would be impossible to navigate.

Are you kidding me?!

I played D2 for years and SC and I loved D3. I think you sir have a different opinion than most of the people here.

@xMantasx People crying about stuff they havnt seen yet is like half of all posts on the beta forums. The only explanation i have for this is that WoW players have become accustomed to using their tears as ammo to influence changes in a game they subscribe to, kinda like majority share holders influencing a company. They've got to appease them in some way. But nobody's subscribing to D3, and their tears shall be swept aside, and not a fuck shall be given.

Oh yeah? To me, it sounds like they made it too hard which is also not fun. It's a fine line between making something that is difficult but beatable with skill and simply not beatable. It's not fun if you walk into Inferno and get 1 shot. Any unskilled company can make a difficulty that simply isn't beatable. It takes skill to design something that is difficult and takes skill to defeat. Back in WoW, Cthun used to be mathamatically impossible. I'm sorry but that's not fun. I really hope that quote was a lie. How can you balance a difficulty that no one has ever defeated?

That strategy sounds just like old school vertical scrolling shooter arcade games. You see how high of a score you can get, then you die and "game over." Then you put in another quarter and try again, only in D3 your "ship's" upgrades and weapons are permanent.

They just redid Inferno's difficulty. It's likely he's saying nobody has beaten the newest incarnation of its difficulty. Obvious reason nobody's beaten that is that they wouldn't have had enough time to gather the gear for it.

It seems to me the people complaining about Inferno's difficulty are under the impression the steps to playing this game are:

1. Beat Normal
2. Immediately jump into Nightmare
3. Beat Nightmare
4. Go into Hell
5. Beat that
6. Go into Inferno
7. Beat that

In reality, it will end up:

1. Beat Hell
2. Play Hell again
3. Play Hell again
4. Go into Inferno
5. Kill Skeleton King
6. Play Hell again x3
7. Try and get to next boss after SK
8. Repeat similarly

It's a process of gearing up, and it will take time and repetition. If you intend to jump straight into Inferno and succeed without gearing up in Hell first, you will be disappointed and this isn't the game you're expecting. Blizzard doesn't want to make the game you want D3 to be.
