Blizzard announces Diablo 3 beta as well as the auction house in which you can sell items for real world $.

Blizzard Entertainment: Diablo III Beta Announcement (http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/events/diablo3-announcement/#auction:auction-summary)

[Matlock]

Sounds like a good way to eliminate those sites/ebay selling stuff and take a cut.

[Razor Ramon HG]

I want beta invite

[danned]

YES, i could try how good is diabloe 3

[CRS]

Wonder where you apply for invite.

[ForbiddenX]

It'll be in your Battle.net account where it has the beta settings. Just click which ones you want to be in.

[dangonay]

And the next designer drug has cleared the approval process for clinical trials before being made available to the public.

[jtanner_]

I still remember doing baal runs for hours... and mephisto and pindle runs on my MF sorc... Hexes... wrings... sojs... fucking good times.

[SkinnyPupp]

That auction system will ensure this gets 10 million subscribers in China

[CRS]

It'll be in your Battle.net account where it has the beta settings. Just click which ones you want to be in.

FUUUUU maintenance.

bot at night and go through the goodies in the morning =]

[dangonay]

Blizzards real cash auction won't stop the farmers, but it will force them to do things differently (and take a little extra effort). Blizzard can also track transactions for each battle.net account which will make it much easier for them to spot abuse.

Plus, with millions of legitimate users also selling items for cash, they will now have competition.

[chin3se604]

too bad d3 didn't make it for a summer release

i rmb how awesome it was for sc2 to be released mid summer last year

[Cman333]

FUCK YEAH.....

It's about time!@

[freakshow]

I'm glad this isn't coming out before my wedding..

[PuYang]

anyone here playing d2 right now while waiting for d3?

if you are, come find me! *puyang

I just restarted a few weeks ago. alot of spam bots and botters. but overall, still a fun game to play when i got nothing else to do at home. if anyone wants to start and play with me, i can give you some free items. (nothing great cuz i just started too.)

[_Hotsauce_]

So I'm thinking this was about the time the SC2 beta came out and then it was released the same year in November? or am I mistaken?

Is it wrong to be hopeful for a 2011 release now that the beta has been announced?

[G]

Anyone know when they are gonna start handing out betas? I got a beta key from the first rounds of distribution. I hope i get the d3 one too!

[ShanghaiKid]

overnight cow levels, pindleskin runs, hammerdins, javazons, ccbq, hex charms, white rings, occy rings, runewords, "popping", act 2 over the counter dupe exploit....

Nothing but hardcore for me. Losing a level 92 sorc in classic (non expac) D2 was painful. No BO tele in the Hell CS with a lightning sorc, lol.

[6je0su4s]

LOL YESSS!

Can't wait for D3

I remember just grinding up cow levels with my necro... Killed cow king and was FFFF

So had to make another character to open it up, then swift account really fast and get bak onto the server b4 the server closes LOL

[DC5-S]

Lol I made $600 of D2. I also had 3 instances of D2 running on the same comp with chars doing pindleskin runs with a not. Think I found like 6 windforces and countless other items

[SkinnyPupp]

I just realized how ridiculous it is that I have never played Diablo 1 or 2. And I LOVE dungeon crawling games! I'll definitely be playing this one.

[freakshow]

^ Wow.. that deserves a temp ban or something... :p

[ShanghaiKid]

^^ you should definitely start, Diablo 1 isn't very difficult to beat and its hella fun. The D3 storyline will make more sense too, hopefully.

[GLOW]

^ Wow.. that deserves a temp ban or something... :p

or an additional fail :P

if you get d2 you can level up pretty easily by joining bot games, but you'd enjoy it more by playing it out right. if you cant join actual public games then you can still enjoy it alone, though it was really fun back i the day when you're playing with 7 other people. that's one of the things i liked about d2 over d1, oh and the fact that you can actually run LOL

but d1 is IMO more fun b/c of the lighting, setting, and music. it was darker and scarier. they definately set the tone amazingly in d1. but dam joining pugs and friendly fire LOL

If you haven't opted in for diablo 3 beta testing, you should do it now. Opting in requires a full version of a blizzard entertainment game registered in your battle.net account. Check your beta profile settings, and you'll be prompted to download either a windows or mac client to scan your computer and run through the specs, which then must be submitted to blizzard. The beta phase keys are completely random, and are based mainly on computer specs, as blizzard did say they want to a variety of platforms and specs test out the game. The beta will most likely run through until launch, as early as q4 of this year or q1 of next. Invites should be going out as early as next week (don't quote me on this, heard from a friend.. Still need to check the source). Hopefully I get a key, I got into all the wow betas :p

And hopefully, see you all on beta !!!
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[guddagudd]

To opt for it, do you just have the "Beta tests I'm interested in" Checked off for diablo universe?

[G]

I have my laptop specs on my account since my laptop processor is unique :D in my head I think that they chose me for sc2 beta because of it...so hopefully I get one for d3!

Monk is closest to paladin so that's a sound choice. But Barb would be pretty solid if you like monster bashing!

Yeah but the pally just looked badass, the monk looks like a pussy. No class appeal IMO.

I'll probably be going wiz or barb mainly cuz I've never played those classes in D2 but they seemed really fun.

Monk does look girly, but the skills look like fun! I know mindless(spamalot) characters like Barb and Wizard are easy, but sometimes you want a strategy for different monsters.

Side note, looks like no one will play Witch Doctor.:D

They did it to keep sub up for WoW. They are at a steady decline. Pretty much if next expansion is as stupid as Cata they are going to lose a lot of players.

Pre ordered mine from EB (Richmond). My buddy wanted to pre order one few days later and they told him it was all sold out.
Not sure if its all EB or just the Richmond EB.

they already have separate teams for console and new generation consoles development actually for this game. Just dunno if, console gamers will be able to interact with pc.

Diablo III Releasing on February 1, Says Best Buy (http://www.1up.com/news/diablo-iii-releasing-february-1)

Diablo III

In typical Blizzard fashion, the company has given no solid indication of exactly when Diablo III will be coming out beyond "early 2012." According to Best Buy, the game's release is just a few weeks away.

The image below was discovered on Twitter by Joystiq; it shows a Diablo III display from a Best Buy located in Rochester, Minnesota. If the poster is to be believed, the game will be out on February 1 in the United States, and Best Buy (or at least this one particular location) will be opening at midnight to sell the game.

The information has since been confirmed with the Best Buy store in question by Joystiq, and BestBuy.com lists the game as coming on February 1. Blizzard has yet to confirm the date itself, but it certainly seems legitimate.

In lieu of a release date, Blizzard announced a collector's edition at BlizzCon in October. For World of Warcraft players who don't care about getting their hands on a physical copy of the latest Diablo, the WoW Annual Pass will entitle them to a free digital copy of Diablo III.

Apparently that's fake and BB does not know shit.

[Tegra_Devil]

its been posted on some pretty reliable websites...................................minus blizzard



either way.............once i get it.......................HARDCORE demon hunter time!!

[tegz]

^The poster is def. real, but blizz's mod Bashiok or whoever has actually disproved the release date being feb 1st... and look at Canada's BB site, another assumption with a different date of Feb 28th...

I'd be happy if it were Feb 1st, but wouldn't get my hopes up. Seems like BB's fabricating random release dates as a crap-shoot to rack up pre-orders.

[chin3se604]

bestbuy trollin us :troll:

haven't even pre ordered yet T__T

[Tegra_Devil]

as long as i get it before march ill be happy :)

[SupraTTturbo2jz]

fake ass release date. They even mispelled February. Only Blizzard makes the date announcements and for a game with so much hype like Diablo 3, they are not going to leave it to bestbuy to announce the date first LOL.

Earlier today there was some gossip going about on how BestBuy.com changed the release dates shown on their Diablo 3 product pages to February 1st, 2012. Then there were reports that a Best Buy store put up a promotional end cap for Diablo III with a digital countdown timer leading to February 1st.

Well, the guys at Joystiq received a copy of the very same picture that was posted on the Diablo III forums, and verified via a phone call to a Rochester, Minnesota Best Buy store that the Diablo 3 promotional display does indeed exist. The Best Buy employee that spoke with Joystiq also confirmed that their store would be doing a midnight launch for Diablo III on February 1st, 2012.

We decided to reach out to a store off of Geary Blvd in San Francisco, CA, and spoke with a video games department sales rep that confirmed that the store systems had been updated with a February 1st, 2012 release date for Diablo III. Unfortunately however promotional materials like the one captured in the photo spreading about the internet had not been put up yet according to the employee.

Current listings on the Best Buy website for both the standard and collector's edition of Diablo III now reflect the February 1st release date. On the other side of the pond Gameplay now lists a February 3rd release date for UK customers. Considering the date changes on the Diablo III product pages at major retailers in both the US and UK, along with the photo and confirmation on the promotional end cap at the Minnesota Best Buy, it's looking like a February release date is close to being a sure thing.

We've sent a note off to our contacts at Blizzard, and will update this post once we hear something more official.

Update: Target.com lists a February 7th release date.

I predict a March 2012 release for Diablo 3. Blizzard has posted this...Also, if you watch the videos they say "Diablo 3 is almost ready" or "We are almost done with Diablo 3"

Diablo 15 Year Anniversary - Game Guide - Diablo III (http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/game/anniversary/)

At the bottom of the page

The Diablo III beta is underway and we’re counting the days until the latest chapter in this storied franchise is ready to be unleashed upon the world.
We look to Diablo’s legacy and the passionate player community for inspiration -- they drive us to make Diablo III the best entry in the series yet.
We hope you’ll enjoy playing it as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it.

blizzard is known to troll......could be a ploy by them, to get our guards down, and then WHAMMY, game comes out earlier than expected

I would say a March 2012 release is a good possibility, however you have to admit that it's wild speculation at best.

You definitely can't go by what Blizzard says. In 2011, they were so confident of a release that they even had people grow out their beards until release day (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3359129), only to have to cancel the competition (http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3552227/%E2%80%9CSoon%E2%80%9D_Was_Too_Soon_--_Diablo_III_to_Arrive_in_Early_2012_-9_23_2011#blog) due to delays.
You don't tell your fans to grow beards until release day unless you're fairly confident.. and even that fell apart on them.

[chin3se604]

anyone wanna play beta with me :alone:

[Tegra_Devil]

i wish.....are they still sending out keys? if so, how do i get one?

[impactX]

The Koreans just have to ruin everything! derp

On a serious note, is it still because they can't get past the gambling laws in Korea because of the auction house?

On a serious note, is it still because they can't get past the gambling laws in Korea because of the auction house?They've publicly stated that Korea is not what is holding up the release, but that they've been working on feature additions/changes..

who knows what the truth is though..

[Tegra_Devil]

my heart says, the 'additions' they are making..........is actually them putting the game inside the box, so they can sell it to me

[_Hotsauce_]

Apparently there is a Diablo Console version in the works....read more here

Diablo 3 is coming to consoles (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2012/01/diablo-3-is-coming-to-consoles.ars)

One of the reasons why we're exploring the idea of a console version of Diablo 3 is because we feel that the controls and the style of the game lend itself to a console," he said. "With some of our early experiments in putting a direct control scheme into the game via a 360-like analogue controller, I've [thought] 'Oh this feels even better, with direct control...'

It's tied to my bnet account. Can't do out since i already have other games.
Also, can't play even though it's installed.
Their name generating server thing is buggy. Thinks all our names violates their TOS.

finished the beta twice in two days.

other than graphics and some minor changes to gameplay, i don't see why they had to wait 10yrs to come out with a sequel. the beta actually made me want to buy the game less. :(

don't play this beta...you'll get attached...and hungering for more...DONT BOTHER. IT's a TOTAL tease. OH GOD.

Not really feeling it for some reason. Maybe I'm just growing out of the type of game? I want to like it more than I do, if that makes sense.

You can't really lend the key.

You would need to borrow the entire battlenet account.

[SupraTTturbo2jz]

been playing it for the last 2 nights...it does not feel like D2 anymore...monsters don't seem scary enough anymore. No points system either so you can't put them into strength, dextarity or vitality..blizz made the game too simple. Chat system sucks. They integrated so much shit in that resembles WoW. Then again, this beta is only 1% of the full game so far so can't really judge the feeling. Doesn't give me much hype for the game anymore though..D2 still does and is awesome.
