Betas are designed for things to screw up so we report it and try to get it fixed before it turns into a real huge problem at release. I have yet to have the disconnect issue, but make sure to send in reports about it so that Blizzard knows, I am sure others are already, but the more they get the better we can make sure it does not carry into release. If we don't report it, or too few report it, they may not find it a big enough deal to fix. We have to make sure to keep the pressure on.
Diablo III, NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Or like disconnecting close to the end of a 1000 ticket BF3 map and loosing all the points you built up in that match. Which happens quite regularly. And the game is still awesome.
I would say something about letting the devs screw you and ruining gaming, but frankly if you're playing a FPS in MP for the points and can't enjoy it otherwise there's something wrong with you in the first place...
But Diablo is more about advancing in the story and in skills... even in MP, unless you're PvP-ing. A better comparison would be losing your SP progress in a FPS...
Or IR flares for a heli. Stupid design decisions...grr.
I take you for a ride, you change mind.
What's the issue, it feels like Diablo to me. Kind of Diablo meets Guild Wars I guess with the limited skill choices.
Though maybe I am the one who has it going over my head but I think he is referring to 'helicopters and modernized war in Diablo'
The talk about modernized war and Diablo is giving me horrible flashbacks of Hellgate: London, which funny enough, was the first game released by the original creators of Diablo after they left Blizzard.

They really need to fix the AA so that it can't be used to shoot ground troops. Because :cripes: that is way too powerful.Like I was saying in a different thread, I am an ace Huey driver. You load me up with two gunners and we wreak glorious havoc.
The new maps have mobile AA which make that pretty useless though
The other angel is Imperius, one of the Angiris Council. He is supposed to be one of the angels that hates humanity, finding them to be a perversion tainted by the demonic. Him and Tyreal used to be best friends, until Tyreal decided to defend humanity, which put the two at odds over the years.
I can see why they removed them though, they are rather spoilerish.

Rumor has it that the "star" that falls from the sky is Tyreal, and that he had a battle with Imperius, who wants to destroy Santuary and humanity. Tyreal loses the battle and is thrown from the High Heavens. The images in the trailer show the possible flashback to this battle, or may even show a future battle, as loading images have hinted that the final act of the game is going to take place in the High Heavens, rather then the Burning Hells. As for the Diablo images, that's because it's getting more and more obvious that Diablo took over a female body this time around, and they are trying a tiny bit to hide the fact the new Diablo host is likely going to be Leah.
Yeah, that's the consensus, but no one actually posted any definitive proof...
As for Diablo's host... the pictures released way before where way more spoilery, in the video you can't even see it's hips.
Well at BlizzCon they showed off concept art of all the angels of the Angiris Council, and Imperius has the most unique armor. The CGI angel is pretty much using the same armor as the concept so it be very likely it is Imperius.
Well I think removing the CGI was mostly a side effect to removing the image that came before it, which really drives home the spoiler.
No floating crown though... but the spear is the same for sure .Well at BlizzCon they showed off concept art of all the angels of the Angiris Council, and Imperius has the most unique armor. The CGI angel is pretty much using the same armor as the concept so it be very likely it is Imperius.
Except that between Tyrael and Diablo there's a image that stayed exactly the same... looks more like they just removed the cinematics...
Put the two side by side, and you will notice they removed a lot of the concept art, not just the cinamatics. The one I was speaking about earlier occurs right before the "Diablo" cinamtic, and is one of the Lord of Terror with a very... new form. That concept art does not appear in the modified one, and was replaced with concept art of the cathedral window, right before cutting to Deckard.
Yeah, i just meant that your comment that they cut it as a side effect is off.
Not really. Think about it, it works better when pictures lead into similar pictures. Having a Diablo concept lead into a Diablo cinematic fits, but once that concept was removed, and they instead used the church window, it was better to utilize Deckard, since that scene is him looking up at that very church window. This is also why they removed the Barbarian and Demon Hunter concept arts, replacing them instead with more location concepts since that is what they were focusing on for most of that section.
We can agree to disagree, but I think the removal of the cinematic as a byproduct of removing the concept to not be off at all, it's just good editing.
Well pffft... artists!
The most fun I got out of Diablo 1/2 was playing co-op with my friends at a LAN, unfortunately with the persistent online stuff looking like it is here to stay they have all bailed on buying it. And since my main motivation in getting the game was co-op I guess that I might as well forget about picking it up as well and wait for Torchlight instead.
I'm sure that D3 will still sell well enough but it does make me wonder how many sales have been lost which could have been avoided by having some kind of offline mode.

So, did you guys see the latest changes: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4325959/Systems_Changes-1_19_2012#blog
This game is so never coming out...

Whelp, there goes two more years.
Well no one seems to remember that Operation CWAL was anything more then a cheat code, and they actually thought the game might be out by Christmas 2011, so he's not that wrong...
I am not sure how I feel about some of the system changes, and I find the loss of the mystic to be pretty sucky. Will have to try out the changes on the Beta.
Hopefully we can see a Q2 release this year, I don't think the system changes themselves are going to delay the game another year, they are not that large.

Well...
To be honest I have been so busy in Skyrim and Arkham City that I have not yet tried out the changes. Will have to do that sometime tonight now that I beat Arkham City and worked on a few of the challenges.
And...
