Diablo 3 Beta - Feedback :}

Derail imminent...

Please just post your D3 Battletag. Saying "i want to play give me a PM" means nada. The Battletag was created for this purpose.

(this is not your Battle.net name as the BETA doesn't cater for it yet.. its the Battletag you created on your account)
 
I'm in Europe at the moment and my latency to the server is just over 200ms at good times. The game is definitely playable most of the time and I actually thought I would still get the game. But there are definitely also periods where the lag is so bad that it's completely unplayable and I just sit back and watch things unfold. I had such a section yesterday whilst playing with the Barbarian. The character hops around on the screen and when it performs an action its not the last action that I requested but the one before that and so forth. I am really hoping that this is just a growing pain or due to too many users at that time on the beta servers. Will keep an eye out and try every now and again. Can't wait for the EU servers to come up...
 
Evidently my plans to derail the thread have been discovered! Foiled again!

Well, I dont remember what my tag is, and my authenticator is at home. Will update my post when I finish up at work.

The irony here is that you are laughing at an entire post made to mock grammatical errors like the one you just made and got all defensive over.

[Edit: Adding constructive criticism]
If someone points out a possible error you have made your three options should be to either acknowledge, ignore or dispute. Insults are unproductive and immature.

I think my ears still rings with "If you're only contribution is to make derogatory remarks then you should perhaps try and reform your thoughts in a more constructive manner."

Sorry, I added more constructive thoughts to my response. :) However, I don't recall being derogatory only slightly condescending and only after being insulted, my apologies.

Not gonna be adding anything new here, but started playing when I got a key last week. Not had much time to play with the patch keeping the servers offline for the weekend, but thus far I'm very impressed. In a rather vague statement I will say that it *feels* like a diablo game. Feedback, especially for the barb and monk is amazing, feels visceral and reactive. Loving the customization potential in the runes, even this early it's great fun to play around with them. I'm one of those who loves the visuals, I definitely don't feel it's too bright or cheerful in any way, tweaking the gamma settings a little bit I got it looking just as moody and atmospheric as I was hoping it would be.

Average ping is about 400, which is playable, and hopefully it will be significantly better once we play on the EU servers. The spikes are pretty bad, rubber-banding all over the place, but I suspect that will improve drastically after launch.

Can't wait to play more :)

Funny thing, this is exactly what I told my housemates after playing the first half hour. It feels like Diablo with US lag.

Once we're on EU servers, we'll be rocking. :D

The great thing I realised this weekend was that in spite of finishing the beta around 5 or 6 times now, I really wanted to play some more this weekend.. Also, I was a bit sad on hearing about the character wipe, I've already become somewhat invested in my character. Maybe Hardcore won't be such a good idea for me..:rolleyes:

Yeah I have made a point (weird, I know) of naming my chars something random that I would never use in retail version, just so I don't become attached to them :). Even the few beta zones are very addictive, my new favourite pastime is, playing the barbarian, and seeing how many zombies I can knock into those crevasses in the weeping wood :)
 
Anyone else playing the beta getting insane amounts of stutter? It's absolutely unplayable as it is right now and no one seems to have a solution, except to turn sound quality down which doesn't help at all.

Seems like most of the beta players have had some sort of lag since Patch 15 and the servers going down the whole weekend. Its definitely unplayable for me at the moment. 550+ MS is not a joke and actually gives me a headache :(

Sorry to say it, but unless I can be certain that I will be running 350ms or less, I will not be purchasing Diablo 3... And I have been waiting for 10 years like everyone else. So that makes this not a day 1 purchase for me...

(i do know about the servers being in the US, not running at full capacity.. and being pummeled. but we don't know what difference EU servers will make..)
 
It's not even the lag, which is causing lot's of rubberbanding (550+ ms ping), but actual stutter, like I don't have enough RAM (I have 8gigs). It's seems to be an issue with the sound that causes the stutter, even on low.

I really like the Monk, definitely the class I'm going to play and I can see the potential for the game being a lot of fun, but as is it now, it's a buggy, laggy hell. Excuse the pun...
 
Interesting. I'll have to start a new toon again and see. Have not played in a while, but its always been perfectly fine before the last patch for me
 
I played last night, and while the lag was a bit worse than with P14, it wasn't unplayable. I had 450-550 ms most of the night. What I'm disappointed in, though, is that I rolled my first Wizard, and she felt so weak compared to the Barbarian and Monk :( Almost as if she wasn't actually hitting targets.

I'm reasonably sure that Monk will be my first character.

Yup, it's sad to say but I'm in the same boat. I want to know I can play this game properly without stupid lag, even if I have to pay R30-40 more.
 
I played briefly in patch 14 last Thursday when I first got the invite, missed the weekend of course and then played a bit in patch 15 last night and again early this morning (around 4am). I noticed a fair bit of stutter/rubber banding last night, but this morning I was consistently pinging around 380 and it was very smooth indeed. I hardly noticed any spikes in ping and if I'm honest it felt like I was playing offline. First time the game has ever been this smooth for me. I wonder if the early morning thing is related to server load (the fact that most people from our timezone would still be sleeping). I haven't even considered that sound might be the culprit when it comes to the stutter I experienced in the past, I just assumed it was network-related, server load and so on.

Thus far I'm loving the wizard (runed spark doing corpse explosion is a lot of fun), demon hunter (rapid fire chows hatred but loving it) and the barbarian. Monk is fun too, don't like how the early armour looks on her, but that will obviously improve. The Witch Doctor is the one I'm not so sure about. Zombie dogs feel weak, don't do much dmg and not that great as meat shields either, and on a long-ish cooldown I think it needs a tweak somewhere, but maybe runes will sort that. Liking grasp of the dead, WD seems good at aoe dmg but single target is a bit lacking, unless you just spam blowdart.

Are you guys experiencing Lag while playing co-op of alone?

While playing alone, which feels pretty stupid tbh... But I have hope, since the servers are all the way in the US and they are clearly overburdened. Hopefully when we get EU servers things will improve.

They really need to fix the stutter though, it makes the game near unplayable.
