    posted a message on Beta - dissapointed. Very raw
    First off, grats for getting a key.

    Beta is Beta for a reason... sigh...

    Achievements have been tested, they are currently disabled, you would know this if you actually bothered to read the patch notes or check the general / beta forums...

    That lag is caused by having a shitty GPU, the one you listed is listed as LOW performance from Blizzard


    Random is random, once you have all the books you either get nothing or potions / scrolls...

    Not remembering account name has been broken since Beta Patch 2, that boss sure is difficult to kill, maybe next patch...

    My guess is your not a fan and just a troll, my opinion though :P

    QFT

    lol

    I didn't get accepted....

    until 3 months ago :P :D

    Quote from Zig

    Do you not receive a mail for it? Or do you have to check battle net for it? And congratulations with your invite, I'm not the slightest jelly

    It is quicker and easier to check your battle.net account as sometimes your email won't come, it can also arrive in your inbox / spam folder very very late.

    So if u want to know asap, just keep checking your battle.net account.

    posted a message on Diablo 3: New Power Leveling Method (Chancellor)
    You know its a lot easier to just have someone do the SK event as u get 5k xp per SK quest completion.

    With the same method, B(lvl 13 if ur doing SK) has check pointed to the door of SK, B invites A and C. C banners to B and B leaves the game. C enters SK's room and A stays in town and does not accept the SK event popup. C kills SK and A gets 5k quest credit!

    Simple if u know how to use the system to what your after.

    How does them saying they'll give out 100 keys give any confirmation that that was the announcement planned for by the end of the week? So diablo fans were "on the right track in regards to D3" about them giving out 100 beta keys? Erm, yeah, sure.
    Idk what you are talking about....makes perfect sense to me. And as I recall, that reply about "being on the right track" was in response to the previous post where 2/4 people said, "more beta keys".

    sadly...... +1.... :(

    Incorrect, before he said we we're on the right track he said:

    http://twitter.com/#!/Blizzard_ANZ/status/140989549424812032

    So the announcement is still in the air and still what we think it could be :P

    Some day you would like to switch to 7 cuz XP doesn't support Direct Compute.

    Don't get me wrong I use a Win 7 laptop and use 7 at work. It's just that when I built this gaming rig only vista was out lol...

    Plus I don't feel the need to completely re-install everything, I'd rather just build a new rig and throw 7 into that than onto this one.

    Quote from Hpnot1Q

    Hahahaha i lolled @ '' For all you gothic ppl!''


    Al you people who whine about the game not being dark inough and what not should stop bitching :)

    TBH I don't like the gothic look, its silly and stupid, I do however love the sharpness and clarity it provides to the game.

    As JW said, with the engine they are using they couldn't do a player "light radius". Plus we've only seen 1/3 of the first act of a 4 act game -_-...

    Hoping Blizzard adds that sharpness and clarity to the game cause atm it does look blurry / washed out.

    Weren't there a lot of people around here shouting "STOP QQ ABOUT NORMAL-ONLY MERCS, BLIZZARD WON'T CHANGE IT!" ?? I wonder where they are now....

    And a lot of us QQ'd back saying what a huge waste of time to implement something this great and it only being limited to normal and single player use.

    I'm not surprised they changed their mind...

    Looking forward to the update too!

    Quote from Graphics_I

    Woohoo! Gratz. I guess they do know we exist. Can you see lag having any effects specifically in relation to hardcore Soul?

    I'd say so, the biggest problem I had regarding HC was with the Demon Hunters Evasive Fire backflip bug, which completely locks you out of doing anything for 3-6 seconds which is really bad if you're playing HC(still bugs out in Beta Patch 5).

    Atm though playing solo is absolutely fine. Just make sure you have a stable Internet connection and you should be sweet, I wouldn't recommend playing HC D3 wirelessly while on a train lol. Your just asking for trouble then.
    Quote from Puttah

    Being an Aussie myself, I can't help but wonder how the ping will affect us since D3 is going to be purely multiplayer and there aren't any Aussie servers :(
    So here are my questions,

    1) Which lucky charm are you using?

    2) How well do you feel does the new system of "no ping" when attacking monsters work? And is it awkward when the fighting feels instant while opening chests and such isn't.

    3) Have you tried playing with others to get a feel of how this no ping fighting system works in a multiplayer setting. For example, are you finding yourself shooting and hitting a demon, but the projectile just flops and does nothing because someone across the world killed it slightly before you?

    1 - I believed but wasn't expecting =)

    2 - At around 210 ping or less feels fine to me, you will feel it and adjust for it, that's the best you can do bar moving to the US and right next to the servers...

    3 - I don't think I've seen any issues, that I know of...

    First off, Congrats! Hope you enjoy it, as it honestly feels alot different than Beta patch 4.

    Also, there are a few of us Aussies in the Beta =) D3 also runs pretty smoothly I must say at ( 210 ping).

    Holy crap your specs are crazy, If I can run D3 on high with my 1gb ATI Raedon 4800 HD at 1080p on Win XP with 3gb ram running on a 3ghz Core 2 Duo... I think alot of people should be able to play it, although it does get a lil choppy with alot and i mean alot of crap flying around the screen.
