    Played for about 30 minutes there, it's so laggy it's virtually unplayable. Don't know if it's on my end or theirs but not good.

    I kinda got bored of the Beta quickly. I played through it with the Wizard, Monk and Witch Doctor in the same day and didn't go back to it!!

    I liked it but I didn't really see the point in playing through the same dungeon numerous times with a very low level cap.

    Plus, all that delicious loot will be gone once the beta ends.

    This. This is one of the reasons I don't invest much time in to betas.

    Let's be honest, Diablo was always a grind fest.. ( it's quite funny, as people bitching about Korean RPGs being very grindy and Diablo is a game based on grinding. ) so grinding a low level content and still get all of the gear and stuff gone on release is just useless. Plus you will get better gear 1-2 more hours in to the game when it will be launched fully.
    Fore it's like a demo, nothing else. A very short one am that too.

    Yeah it was more a glorified demo than a beta to be fair.

    On the grind thing, that's what I always loved about D2. Yes it's a grind to the high 80's / low 90's but you are as much loot whoring as grinding levels and it took the edge off it. That notion that every Boss run could bring something new and shiny to use or trade completely changed the feel of a traditional grind. It was more so "Baal on 5% get ready to shift click like crazy... he's down ZOD RUNE click click click... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.... oh look I dinged 90 cool." :p

    lol yeah.

    building your MF gear sorcam then MF barba. do mephisto runs or pindel.

    it was like a slot machine grinding. lottery at its best :D. then going to trading games and looking for best deal etc!
    then you decide that you want a full natally set ASA. so you power level up her, while mfing gear at looking for bits in trade channels and trade games... ah memories...
    i know we will have that AH thing now and it will make it way easyer and more simple, but damn i enjoyed that shoping jumping in trade channels :o

    Yeah it's so true, I probably spent more time while playing D2 setting up Trade games or jumping between trade games than I did anything else and it's sad to think this will no longer be part of the experience. :(

    N PERF ETH BOTD ZERK O 290s :D

    Edit: 290s not 360s god damn bad memory!!

    I just played up to level 5 to get a feel for the game. Its true that its more of a demo now not an actual beta. The build that the devs and qe team are working on would have a feature lock so any bugs reported now would not be fixed until after release anyway unless they were of high severity, and those fixes will just be a hotfix on release day.

    Im slightly interested to see how the console version turns out , i think torchlight worked out pretty well for xbox. We'll see tho, could be a disaster.
