I don't know how many other people felt this way, but after I played the beta for awhile, my excitement and anticipation for D3 wore off. It wasn't that I didn't enjoy the beta or that I didn't look forward to the game, but that initial rush had worn off.
I'm happy to say that it's back! I can't quite put my finger on what it was, but as the hours count down to May 15th, I'm once again pumped for this game to launch. Between the Blizzard's unlocks, planning out my Barb's skills or just browsing the forums, the anticipation only seems to increase.
Anyone else experience this? What brought back your excitement?
I barely played the beta despite having access from the beginning. It was just so short, and there was no real point in farming items, you could only level so far, etc. I tried it out, liked it a lot, then forgot about it since it seemed the game was still never going to be released. My excitement came back upon finally seeing a release date that seemed it would stick, reading up on everything to prepare myself, and starting to hang out here. It feels real now instead of just some far-off dream game, hehe.
I haven't played the beta, but at a stage I followed every video I could find. I subscribed to force and watched everything he threw out with insane fervor. But slowly it dwindled. Around the time they cut the mystic, I was almost disinterested in any new information, I came onto the site maybe twice a week. I still wanted to buy the game, I just didn't care about the hype surrounding it. Even when the date was announced, I felt 'yeah, well, at least now we know', but still I wasn't really pumped anymore.
Then, about a little over a week ago, a huge surge of excitement struck me. When I finally realized we were very near to release, all of it came back. Since then it's been building, and recently I find that I can barely fall asleep and keep waking up. I want to get as much sleep in tonight and tomorrow as I can, but I'm so fueled, I doubt that'll happen. I stocked up on energy bars and caffeine though. Can't explain in words how out of my mind excited I am.
I haven't felt like this in ages, not since I was a kid waiting for Christmas to arrive.
I have to say, one of my favorite things about the Diablo series is how its community has developed and stuck around through the years. Considering how long ago Diablo and Diablo 2 came out, most of us have been waiting a decade for D3 to arrive. It's pretty impressive that people are still so invested in the series. Pretty awesome to read about everyone's hype.
Diablo 2 was my very first computer game, and so of course also my first online gaming experience. I played the original Diablo previously, but only on my Playstation, heh. Anyway, D2 has so much nostalgia and so many fond memories for me. So even without all of its obvious awesomeness and all of the hype, I'd still have needed to play D3 . I feel like I've gotten really old waiting for it, though, haha.
