So they've finally confirmed a release date for this. I reckon I'll be picking it up. Anyone else? http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4612389/Test-3_16_2012 |

Mmmm, tempting. But it is just a fruit machine simulator, really, isn't it? |

I have it as part of the WoW annual pass, not sure how much i'll play it though. I never even tried Diablo II online. |

If Skyrim has taught me anything I enjoy a good grind for skillz. I'll probably end up getting it. |

Yeah I'm getting it for 'free' too (and TBH it is free for me since I can't see me stopping playing WoW any time soon), really rather looking forward to it I have to say. The real cash auction house in particular intrigues me  Blizzard just don't do duffers, they've never done a duffer and I doubt they ever will. |

Considering the lengths some people will go to with WoW porn, perhaps there'll be a viable prostitution market in Diablo 3 if you strip a girl character to her undies and perform virtual favours for high level geeks with loads of cash. (Just Google 'WoW night elf porn' with safe search off  )

Glad D3 has a release date, I played D1 and D2 to completion a couple of years ago and found them both very addictive. It'll be interesting to see how many Entropia players take a vacation to grind D3 items for cash instead. I'll probably stay where I am, building my current avatar up. Also will depend on whether D3 has a subscription model or one off fee like Guild Wars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZI_K8ShSGY I don't really understand what it is I'm watching in that video. Is it like a rare elite in WoW or something? As for 'game things equalling real money', I was a total cash whore in WoW (eased off a lot now), my last sale was 100,000 gold to a guildy for £100, simply because I had loads of gold and nothing to spend it on. I don't see it as a source of income, but in the same way that I was an intergalactic billionaire in Elite back in the day on my Spectrum because I wanted to be, now I can actually sell the fruits of my gaming labours for real money

Cobracure wrote: Anyway the video showed someone hitting a jackpot loot 1928 PED ($192.80) and I hope D3 looks as nice graphically. So what makes it worth $192? Is that was someone ended up paying for it, so is that how much the game says it's worth? Diablo 3 could be interesting, considering the number of people who will happily pay £10 for pointless vanity pets in WoW, and as much as £17 for 'special flying mounts' that are functionally identical to the normal flying mounts, who knows what treasures await! Not that I'll be playing the game as a money making enterprise, but like Trooper has already said, I have absolutely fuck all attachment to virtual gear/treasure/whatever, so would be more than happy to sell any special finds to some stupid American teenager with too much money. |

The beta is open to everyone for the weekend! Anyone fancy a game tonight? I've already downloaded the client, but you can't login and play until (I think) 8PM (12PM PDT). Download the client here: https://us.battle.net/account/download/index.xml You need a Battle.net login of course, so sign up if you haven't got one! |

Is it going slow? I found that disabling peer to peer in the menu at the top of the downloader speeds things up a lot. Presumably you just download it directly from their servers if you disable it. |

When I manage to "login" my system crashes and requires a hard reset. It's a graphics card overheating kind of crash. But the card is fine. If I recall, StarCraft 2 had an identical crash after logging in because the framerate on the menu screens wasn't capped. This would cause your card to render the menu at such a high frame rate it overheated and powered down. The fix was capping the framerate in a config file somewhere, but I'm buggered if I can find the same file for Diablo III. |

Beta game in 'not quite finished shocker'. I honestly don't understand the mentality behind playing beta versions of games. |

Because it's new and I'm desperate to play it! Perkies - re: your Xbox Live message - I can't be arsed to type out on my little chatpad! Very disappointing but I'll try again tomorrow. Hopefully that crash thing won't be a problem as well!

Heh! So I'm gonna try this out tomorrow night instead. Hopefully have more luck. You still in Perkies? And anyone else is welcome of course - I believe it's four player. Unfortunately I'm obliged to head back to Teesside to watch the Boro get beat by Southampton with my old man, so I might be on a bit late. Like 10 maybe... |
