yea im kind of upset that they dont have a class that uses shields ;/ or a class that uses knives for that matter

demon hunter would be cooler if it had an assassin tree ;/

I'm sort of surprised over the whole concept of using real life money to buy in game items. It smells to much of 'seedy browser game' for me to be comfortable with.

I think many games (including the mainstream ones) have been going this way for awhile now. PSN and Xbox live do it with console games in their own way

Ah yes, I heard about that with the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 costumes being apparently ridiculously expensive. I haven't owned a new console since the PS2 though so I'm sort of inexperienced in the ways of DLC, I guess.

Probably going to buy the game regardless and role a female witch doctor to fulfill my lonely basement dwelling jungle fever.

plus it's not like people weren't selling their d2 equipment on ebay already, this way blizzard at least gets a piece of the action

AChimp · #31

Plus it's not like Diablo 3 is a multiplayer game, so who cares if people buy their way to greatness.

I'm totally gonna sell shit to fat kids on the real-money AH.

I agree.

Colonel Flagg · #37

Just release the darned game already!

Pentegarn · #38

Flagg wants to get his Diablo on!

It doesn't work that way with Blizzard though Colonel, we will have to wait 3 more years at least.

Fathom Zero · #39

It was announced this morning that it got pushed back to 'early 2012' lolololololololol

Pentegarn · #40

It begins

Colonel Flagg · #41

We'll be all "Oh boy we can't wait" when they announce an imminent report of a rumored release date to be released imminently ... in a few years.

Who wants some wowgold?

I'm fine with this. I am spending 1200 dollars on surgery and there are so many games coming out within the next few months that I now have to pick and choose which ones I want to buy. Honestly, I don't think Diablo 3 would make the cut. So I'm fine with them pushing it back to a date when nothing is coming out.

So I get this email (title Diablo III beta test invitation):

Quote:

Greetings from Blizzard Entertainment!

We’re gearing up for the forthcoming launch of Diablo III and would like to extend you an invitation to participate in the beta test. If you are interested in participating, you need to have a Battle.net account, which you can create on our Battle.net website.

We will flag you for access to the Diablo III beta test when we begin admitting press. You do not need to go through the opt-in process.

To secure your place among the first of Sanctuary’s heroes,Please use the following template below to verify your account and information via email.

* Name:
* Battle.account name:
* Password:
* Country:
* E-mail Address:

Thanks and see you all in the Burning Hells!

Let's put aside the fact that I never signed up for diablo 3 beta for a moment while i address a couple things.

-This is exactly how the email looked, there were no pictures of the game, art, or graphic logos

-Blizzard will never ask for your email, account name, or password.

It seems obvious, and I am pretty sure most people here would see right through this. I only bring it up because this is the first wave and these phishing emails will get more sophisticated as time passes.
