The first phase of beta testing for Reaper of Souls has officially begun! Provided all goes smoothly, this means we should hopefully be seeing this expansion sometime in late-March or early April, just after the closure of the RMAH. What's most exciting about this announcement is how Blizz is handling this portion of the beta. Instead of allowing only friends and family of … [Read more...]
So Long D3 Beta…It’s Been Fun
In just a few short hours, the Diablo 3 Beta will no longer be available to players. While this is a bit saddening for some - especially those who just recently got in - what it implies is very exciting... It means that Diablo 3 is going to be released in 2 weeks!!! Are you pumped?! I know I am. I've been waiting for this game for what seems like an eternity. I've got my free … [Read more...]
Diablo 3 Beta to End as Release Date Draws Near

Diablo 3 Beta Notes: Fall of the Black King – Hardcore
I've just finished running all five classes through the beta - in Hardcore mode.

I ran all five characters through from start-to-finish - using only the items they picked up along the way, with … [Read more...]

Diablo 3 Beta Game Play Video: Wizard
The last in Force's series of "Let's Play" videos... the Wizard. I must admit, I've never really been much for caster classes, but the D3 Wizard looks awesome so far. After having watched all five videos in the Let's Play series, the Wizard looks to be the most powerful - at least for the beta. I'm sure there will be other zones and boss encounters that present more of a … [Read more...]
Diablo 3 Beta Barbarian Speed Run
Force just posted another great video -- this one showing how quickly a lvl 13 Barbarian can bully his way through the beta. 14 minutes, 38 seconds to be exact. However, Force commented that he may have stopped to smell the roses a bit much, and perhaps could have gotten that number closer to 14 minutes flat. Force's Barb is clearly a bit overpowered for the content, but it's … [Read more...]
