shrug, im ambivalent on it. TP scrolls going away seems good enough though. the annoyance of realizing you used your last one and have to walk back wont be missed.

Everything seems OP. I would think from D2 experience that Normal mode is actually a joke and Nightmare really starts the challenge, and Hell is exactly as described, then that evens fades after a while. There are only very low leveled enemies in this beta, so I would say don't count on the final game being this easy overall.

I like what they did to the skills and (especially) the crafting, but I would have rather divvied out my own stat points. Overall, I was surprised at how quick it hooked me.

Just finished playing through once on every class. Here are my thoughts:

Favorite classes in order:
Witch Doctor
Barbarian & Wizard (these two are close)
Monk
Demon Hunter (way behind the rest)

Comments on the classes:
Witch Doctor - One word puts this guy above the next 2: Firebats. The Witch Doctor is the Warlock of D3. Started off slow and didn't really feel like it had a groove to fall into until 6 or 7. But geezus did it turn around. 3 zombie dogs + your templar + grasping dead + spraying a death cone of firebats is just scary. This will probably get nerfed so get in and enjoy it while you can.

Barbarian: Just a lot of fun. It's hard to describe the joy you feel when in one blow you bash the hard skeleton straight out of the flesh of a zombie and back 20 yards, while the remaining bloody pulp falls to the floor helplessly. And no, this isn't an action in game that requires any imagination on your part, because it shows you very very clearly. The barbarian is full of fun things like this.

Wizard: Walking snobby death machine. Can't wait to get my hands on all the skills to really have fun.

Monk: I liked the monk playstyle, just not as much as the first 3. I think this is a class that is handicapped in the early game, and won't really shine until later. Has amazing co-op utility value though.

Demon Hunter: Meh. Just didn't ever feel it with this character. Maybe it'll get better later.
----
Other observations:

I feel like the gold pick-up radius is too small.

I really, really like that the crafting people are shared across all your characters. You don't realize how helpful this is until you're on your 3rd or 4th character. Same with the shared stash.

I played through the same content 5 times within 24 hours on 5 different characters, and am still not tired of it or feel bored. This makes me feel really good about the rest of the game.

Runestones will make this game infinitely more amazing.

The level of detail borders on absurd. No one thing I can describe will do justice to what I'm talking about, you just have to see it to understand.


More to come, going to play some more today before the superbowl.

yeah, I have high hopes for the which doctor since its suppose to replace the necro class and around my playing style.

I haven't looked too much into the game, but what did they do about the paladin and amazon classes? Is the wizard class almost the same as witch doctor in playing styles?

sounds like they just simplified. i havent played but id say demon hunter = assassin + amazon. monk would then be closest analog of the paladin.

not like you have to duplicate classes each game. that'd get boring quick.

This is me playing thru the last part of the beta with my demon hunter. the beginning is a bit slow because my friend's were complaining about video glitches. fixed that and turned out pretty good.

I've played all but the witch doctor and can say that wizard/barb are the most fun.

I can't see how anyone can prefer any class over the Barb. It's ridiculously visceral and satisfying. I can't wait to have to consider my build for survivability while being in the middle of a fray.

This I probably just part of Act 1, so basically I would not swear which class is the best just yet. The Barbarian was used as a marketing tool, so obviously its gonna be the best in this beta.

This is roughly 1/3 of Act 1. They've used all the classes heavily promotion wise; especially in demo footage. The only time I can remember the barbarian on his own was the extremely early footage (years ago).

I have to agree about the witch doctor. Behind the barb he is probably going to be my second toon. Monk is proving fun as well but i think barb/doc are on another level.

Not played the wizard yet but ive never liked the caster in any game ever so I dont hold out much hope.

Having trouble getting into the demon hunter. Its gotten a bit better but still ehh.

Difficulty setting after Hell. It normalizes the entire game so everything is the same difficulty.

About halfway down

I tried barb last night as well. It is a little tougher for those first 5 or so levels, and was probably the closest I came to dying... but once you get a big weapon and the cleave skill it got way easier.

I still may prefer wizard, but I'll play around with the barb some more.

So I got the DH to 13 and it's a lot better. Get 2 of the yellow hand-crossbows from the blacksmith and go wreck some havoc.

Still think the skills aren't that great, but it's only lvl 13.

"Diablo III delayed againBy Eddie Makuch, GameSpotPosted Feb 9, 2012 2:21 pm PTActivision pushes action RPG to April-June quarter; company not expecting to ship both Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm and WOW: Mists of Pandaria this year.

FacebookHopefully Diablo fans have some patience. Activision today announced that Diablo III won't be released during early 2012 as was previously expected.


Diablo III isn't ready just yet.

As part of its latest financial report today, Activision said Diablo III is now targeted for the company's second quarter, which runs April-June 2012.

Diablo III was at one time expected to be released in 2011, and a rumor from last month indicated the game could launch as early as February 1. However, Activision quickly shot down that speculation, and Blizzard later announced it was implementing a host of changes to the game.

Additionally, Activision today said it is expecting only one other title from Blizzard this year. The company has a number of announced projects, including Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria.
