Diablo 3 Beta - Feedback :}

Currently the beta is only run on US server's, the typical latency for me is around 300ms which I think is pretty good considering I am not using an unshaped account on my DSL. Judging on the improvements made over the years to WoW's Europe latency I think the latency will be pretty darn good

There are only US servers and my experience has been mixed. Sometimes the ping was fine, other times I was rubber-banding constantly.

Yep, I get a Latency of about 200ms, the highest I've ever gotten on any online game on my 17mb line. With WoW & ToR I usually have a latency of under 50ms. In the Beta it ranged from 160ms to 300ms. The Worst lag spikes has come while in co-op with ppl from SA, but very rarely did I get noticeable lag in gameplay. With full release and European servers I expect my Latency will run in the 50ms again.

It was 28 days and something like 9 hours when I posted that, seeing that its a midnight release.

So atm that would make it 27 days and 15 hours... or have I gone totally mental?

You are correct, according to THIS, its only 27D20H49M until the D3 release. However Im sure it differs depending on where you are. I, for example, will only get my copy at about 6pm on May 15th as its being delivered to my house and I wont be taking off early to go play it.
 
Have to say the coop is loads of fun, makes the game slightly more challenging. Weirdly tho noticed that my latency climbed a bit when other people joined the game.

Well yeah, more servers plus it will be EU. My main concern is that the Battle.net downloader isn't broken like the current beta one...

Strangely enough the Mac Installer doesn't seem to have this issue. I however notice that my entire machine would slow down when D3 was running and I CMD & Tab (Mac Equivalent of Alt & Tab) to my desktop. The physical client runs smooth as silk though. :S

I agree, Barbarian has been the most enjoyable. Nothing like slaming down on an ememy and watching their ragdoll fly off the screen :D

Oh yeah, for sure. When not playing Barbarian I miss leap so much. I can't wait to see how higher level skill runes affect it.

14 - Iron Impact
Gain 300% additional Armor for 4 seconds after landing.
21 - Launch
Jump into the air with such great force that enemies within 8 yards of the origin of the jump are also slowed by 60% for 3 seconds.
32 - Toppling Impact
Send enemies hurtling away from where you land.
44 - Call of Arreat
Shockwaves burst forth from the ground increasing the radius of effect to 16 yards and pulling affected enemies towards you.
60 - Death from Above
Land with such force that enemies have a 100% chance to be stunned for 3 seconds.

Launch Sounds especially fun.

Nice to get out of a sticky situation, pop a health potion and come whirl winding back with a vengeance :)

+1 to this. The installer broke twice for me so far. It looks like I fixed it properly now, but sheesh, if the release installer work as badly as this one, we'll be having a bad time.
 
Strange, I have not had any issues with the installer and I've had the beta for a long time and gone through loads of patches.

Even my bud have not had any issues.

Yeah, it looks like it's around 5% of people that get the issue. But it's enough to warrant a fix, I think, especially since it's game-breaking..
 
@OmegaFenix nope regarding hc. did not really see the use of doing that with it being a beta and not having died once during the few months I've been part of it.

Cool. Well I may try it as I still need to play though Monk & Witch Dr in the beta.
