With the Mists Of Pandaria beta on everyone’s minds Blizzard throws out yet another 275,000 invties!

Blizzard are throwing out beta invites left, right and center . Beta for you, you and you! Betas for everyone, expect Caltu….

If you have been wanting to get your hands on D3 before you think about shelling out some money on it, check your inbox, there may be an invite waiting for you.

With there being only a small amount of content to actually play, the majority of previous beta testers just aren’t testing it anymore.

They need more beta testers who actually have a reason to play it to continue with testing, so this new wave was basically trying to fill the servers back up with players that haven’t rolled every single class and killed the Skeleton King.

You may have been disappointed that you received the wrong beta key, but there are a bunch of die hard Diablo fans that will be disagree with you.

Make sure to check your account as it might be time to dive into hell.

Kinda strange of Blizzard to do this buy mby they’re stress testing the D3 servers?

  They’re likely just doing everything they can to attract as many people as possible. Box sales will be nice, but the real money will come from taxing people buying and selling on the real money auction house, which will need a lot of people using it to even work properly.

I’ve noticed that even if you get to the end of beta in D3, picking another player class tells the story in a slightly different way. You also get trophies for having completed D3 beta on each class available in the game. The crafting system in the game is also very interesting to play with and it seems that the crafting system is shared across any class you chose to play. I definitely am not bored of playing D3. I am curious what happens if you beat the beta on each class and get all the trophies.

I still don’t have a beta key for either game. I have tried everything to get a D3 key, even afking during a raid to see if I could get one from the Daily Blink. My luck/rng is no good.

I got into the D3 beta and all i got to was the Skeleton King, but then the I was D/C and it took me 45 till i could get back on. When i did, the servers were lagging I think… But I guess that’s what a Stress Test is for. =(

I got the D3 beta invite too, downloaded it and thought I’d give it a try.

It did keep me entertained, the story was nice, but four hours later I get a message after killing the Skeleton King saying that I have completed the beta.

To me, it doesn’t really feel like a beta, feels more like the downloadable demo of a game.
Was still good and entertaining, but for me, certainly not something I would pay a subscription for.

    There’s no need for the rudeness mate.
    
    I thought it was going to be another sub. You could simply say, ‘there is no sub for this game.’

According to a server message on friday they sent out the invites in order to stress test the diablo 3 servers. There were some disconnects and lag throughout the weekend because of this.

I don’t mind though, it got me in and now I have my useless “overachiever” achievement which will be wiped soon im sure XD
