Mass Diablo 3 Invites Went Out Today

[steadywaters]

Calling all hardcore Diablo fans!

Blizzard appears to have sent out mass beta invites to Diablo 3 today. Hoards of members in Diablo 3 forums have reported that they've been offered beta access. I have gotten mine as well - no sleep tonight...

I didn't get any email. Log into your Battle.net account and check your status under the Diablo III tab to see if you've gotten beta access - then you can download the game client.

Though I'd much prefer a release date vs. a beta invite.

Cool, I'll check this out tonight. Maybe it's nearing open beta?

Forget open beta lol. Just release the damn thing!

I have a link telling me if i get a WoW annual pass I will get "Guaranteed Beta Entry Into Mists Of Pandaria".

I believe that is a rather typical practice by Blizzard -- which sometimes offers beta access with a pre-order.

Having been with D III beta since its second build, I can say i'm extremely dissapointed with it.

Maybe it's just a phase i'm going through, but I think the game was garbage.

thanks for the post! just checked my account and I got one. Ill report back what i think of it later

 

[wolfram23]

Sadly I didn't get in. Booo!

Glad I didn't get one as I think I have given Blizzard enough of my money when I played WOW so no interest in looking at other new Blizzard games right now. I look forward to Guild Wars 2 and Torchlight 2. Those games will definitely get my money before any game from Blizzard gets it again.

Played around with the game and it was....meh...i personally thought the environment and people were a bit too...colorful and nice.

Didn't have the same dark environment D2 had. but then again I only got a small taste of the game.

the fun of Diablo games really comes in the end-game/after-game with item collecting (not really everyone's bag of tea). So far with a level can of 13 we really don't get to see much of the game at all or what items will be implemented. So far it's not exactly fun to beta test because very specific systems are being tested in a very narrow range. While I enjoy what we can access (Comparing a lvl 13 experience in D2 to D3) , there is so much that is shrouded right now that I'm still excited to see if they can pull off the rest of the game.

That said so many of the systems are getting simplified, and that worries me that they may simply over-simplify, and wipe the appeal away. No pet scrolls, less crafting mats, simplified runestones (not runes, but runestones), simplified tooltips, simplified base stats, etc. I hope they don't make it too easy, after all with D2 the devil was in the details.

Many fansites have been given hundreds of beta keys. I suggest signing up to several to increase your chances at getting one. I'm sure many people will get several in the process!

Larger sites got more keys than smaller sites. Here they are for your convenience:

D3Sanc - 450 beta keys
ForceStrategyGaming - 450 keys
D3db - 400 beta keys
DiabloFans - 200 beta keys
