Rolled into a Follower.

Edit: There's a few old skills rolled into the Monk.

nobody publically is getting a beta key since it's only friends and family right now, lol. open beta is supposed to be coming though

[ThunderStain]

Blizz "reworked" the trist theme and it smells.

[A. Crow]

it would be sweet irony that I get a beta key while in Afghanistan.

however, that was not the case

[Kor]

Furiously refreshing my Gmail in the vain hope of finding a key.

Look at it this way: you're getting your index finger in shape for weeks of furious clicking.

Got in the beta.  Any gameplay questions?

How much should we hate you?

This is good shit.  My only critiques are that the beta is pretty short(only lasts until you beat the first boss) and that the game is too damn easy.  In my first playthrough I was never close to dying, even during the boss fight. 

[A. Crow]

yeah, King Leoric didn't look that tough, it did seem like he took forever to beat though. 

[KorJax]

Meh.

Can't say I'm too interested in a game that doesn't let me pause and will auto-boot me for being idle... while playing singleplayer.

I know, I know. Diablo singleplayer?!

Some of us only played Diablo that way, and liked it.

what is so interesting/distracting that you would want to pause and alt-tab diablo? And I know it's not tits.

[tt]So when I’m playing the single-player game, and I’m in the middle of a frenzied mob, and there’s a knock at the front door, there’s nothing I can do. As happened to me yesterday. Twice. On another occasion I was surprised by a phone call that led to my having to do some other things. I’d safely left my character in a cleared area, but long between checkpoints. When I came back to the PC, I’d been idle for too long and the game had logged me out.

I’d been logged out of a single-player game because I was away for an hour. And thus lost all my progress (although not my items and stats) since the last checkpoint, a long, long way back.

In fact, currently, losing your connection (either by idling or the server going down) resets huge chunks of what you’ve already played, such that the map is blank, and you need to battle through it again. [/tt]


sounds annoying to me that every time there is a steam-message / phone buzzes / knock at the door / pizza delivery / piss time / something interesting to look at on TV / dog/cat does something silly behind your chair that you have to hunt for a safe/cleared zone, walk there, and then not be gone for less than an hour.

I'll admit that that can be annoying, but the checkpoints are never more than 10 minutes of gameplay apart.  So yes it sucks, but if you have to go then just log out and log back in when you're done.

[A. Crow]

I'll still give it a shot.

though, blizzard's shift to always connected shit drives me mad-  I bought SC2 about a month before deploying "oh it has a guest pass so you can still play offline"  Yeah fucking right, I have played SC2 Zero times since deploying.
