I actually recently posted concerning pickup radii here, and I highly recommend checking out that particular thread.
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.

Curse Weekly Roundup
Here is this week's Curse Weekly Roundup bringing you the latest in video games.
Who else is going to buy HotS? Beta key would be awesome.
can't wait to get into HoTS... i've always been a zerg player since first starcraft game and an expansion that is zerg based.... LOVE IT!!
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!!!
I like to listen to trance because it lets me disconnect from what im doing, which is nice when doing A3 for the 39462492642th time.
Too bad, I loved it in the beginning.
Oh, and I would love to kill some time in HotS, even though I'm terrible at RTSs
Oh, and HotS beta <3! My friend just pre ordered for it but I'm broke. >_>
beta giveaways what a nice little xmas bonus.
