Diablo 3 Beta - Feedback :}

First thought:
Gorgeous. I can't see where the colors is at fault, it looks very nice imho.

Just unlocked the smithy, pretty cool touch that you can train him, break down items and craft some cool things.

So far I don't feel I've wasted my coin on the CE.... it's going to suck my life out :D

Nevermind what it looks like, how does it play? Latency and how does it hold up in a busy instance, etc :)

latency is 375 to 450 ish. I'd not yet break a leg over it, it's early server days and it can be optimized. Only real stutter I had was when I erm renamed my cache folder to get the damned thing to log in and didn't rename it back. It was quite severe to say the least :o
 
Eish, 375-450 is high for an action rpg :( I feel it when I go above 350 in DDO so I hope they lower that or I'll have to skip it.
 
Glad to hear it's looking good and you're enjoying it! As for latency, well yeah afaik it's a pretty crowded server in the US, hopefully once retail is out and we're playing in the EU servers it will be a bit better.
 
I am, I just wast sure what we are allowed to say :P

My latency was also around 330, very stable at that point as well. But I decided not to play to much so that I get tired of the game before release. So far though, the game is everything I wanted it to be. Im loving the play style, the look and the sounds.

You do you find the color palette vs "goth look" of D1 and D2 ?
 
I like the colours on the outside, but the dungeons could have been a bit more dark and twisty.

So far I found the classes rather even, but the demon hunter feels a bit meh. Loving skills and their reactions and chain builds. Its fun tho and very easy to get lost in the world.

Will be playing witchdoctor and barbarian :)
 
To be honest the game is playable with the online latency, but unfortunately my personality is such that I will continuously be thinking "it could have been so much better". The lag is definitely noticeable most of the time, and when it spikes even more so. I think D3 is going to be on the radar for a short while and then it will disappear into nothingness thanks to the latency issues for us in SA. If it weren't for the Diablo lore I definitely wouldn't have even considered the game, but just because its a "Diablo" game I might just end up buying it.

Will have to wait until a colleague / friend also gets a D3 beta key so that we can test the co-op. I think latency in co-op might just be the deciding factor on whether I buy or skip... What a shame!
 
Weird, I havent had any spikes, mine has been stable at 330. Also havent tried the co op - Prophet we should try it some time :P
 
I Agree with my friend Wyvern,

I've got about 330ms with a WA account and lag is not something I have to worry about. Seriously, NOT AT ALL. I don't have spikes, I don't have lag. Even when I use my IS account and get 400ish ms its fine to play.
Those of you moaning about it need only look @ your own setup and ISP or just not get the game...

And yes I've spend enough time in game. Killed the SK with all the classes and they feel good. I'd probly rate them this way. (personal opinion): Wiz -> WD -> Monk -> DH -> Barb

Game feels good, fun and it does feel like Diablo 3, but just like it has evolved over time.

@Wyzak, I think you should just not get the game. Its not for you.

*** I'd also like to invite the other guys here playing the D3 beta to send me a PM if they interested in doing some Co-op runs

Would be awesome, but now management has taken over my beta account :mad:. Guess I'd be playing something else tonight...

I'm also on a WA account. If you don't notice the lag you must be blind. Each to their own... I recorded the videos of my gameplay for my colleagues and friends and they are welcome to experience it for themselves on my account. If this was a new Titan Quest or a new Dungeon Siege and the gameplay was like this (because of the latency) I would not have given it another look.
 
@Wyzak

I seriously don't have lag to speak of.

What I did notice for 1st time that for a while last night that there was a kind of stuttering type thing, but I'd say that is rather from a server under heavy load.

Atm with it being beta and in the US I'm happy. The game feels good and I cant wait for rls day.
 
busy downloading the beta now, got my key and cant wait to test, although yea i noticed it looks like the US client thats its downloading at the moment. hope latency is not bad but 330 -400 on US servers are not bad.. will definitely come down to around 200ms on EU servers.
