Agreed. The graphics are great but some of the textures look noticeably bad at 1680x1050 and 1920x1080. Fortunately, the textures that look bad are vastly outnumbered by the ones that look good. Also, I'd prefer better performance over better image quality at this point. Blizzard has shown that their art direction can make up for their drawbacks in image quality.

But can't they just provide the high quality textures for those who want it? Hopefully in a patch like Skyrim , but I'll doubt Blizzard ever do something like that

I think they stated that it wouldn't make a difference. I don't know if that's true but I could see how that makes sense. The game's isometric view combined with the art style may make increases in texture quality unnoticeable up to a certain point. I think it'd be better to have more consistency when it comes to texture quality rather than high quality textures across the board.

Love the Barbarian, always been a fan of the in-the-face melee character. Also trying the Demon Hunter, I find the Bola Shot is good for groups of barrels, take em out in one blast and you'll get some bonus XP. Every little bit helps, although it's mega easy to max your char out in this beta.

My first char when game gets released will definetely be a Barbarian.

I will choose my first character the Barbarian since alot of ppl is talking about it and is a popular choice

Well, characters don't require a lot of investment immediately, so I'd certainly try all of them for a few levels first.

It is true, however, that I will likely play Barbarian primarily - as it currently plays anyway. Which is only up to about level 10, and unpolished.

Per Anaron, they're already basically 'ultra' resolution in their eyes. 'Ultra' doesn't mean anything specific apart from 'the best', which D3 probably already has.

You can't delay something that wasn't announced.

Exactly, It has not been delayed at all yet, as it was proposed to be released "early" which can be up till May or so. they never stated which Quarter.

It's delayed in my head. Whether it was announced or not.

Same here, when my brain expected based on (scientific studies, mayan calendars, and nyan cat predictions) to be getting D3 within the coming couple months.. and now I am not.. it's delayed.

After playing the beta for almost 7 hours, I have really mixed feelings. I think the Wizard is a crappy class. I died two times, the DMG output just doesn't seem to be there.

The Barb, Monk, and Demon Hunter will be the top 3 classes. I feel like the Monk has a lot of talent and I'm interested in seeing where it goes with that character.

I played Diablo II when I was only 10 years old and I loved it. I think this will be a completely different radical change but interesting. I think the delay is also for a console version.

Dear everyone in this tread. Stop talking about the game. I'm sure you're all men and all this D3 talk is givin me a chubby. Not cool.

I know right :( It's like blueballs caused by lack of being able to play D3, but having to read about it.

This is for you

Yea and what's going on in my pants is for you. Feel free to accidentally email me some account details and I'll gladly check te game out for myself.

That being said... While its not 'ethical' and is against most ToS, I always share my beta information with close friends. While I consider it a chance for them to check games out prior to their release, I also think of it as additional testing as my beta accounts are typically in use around the clock 24/7.

Now I won't state what games I'm currently a part of. Damn NDA's.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA

    • Cybersecurity vets protest ‘dangerous’ US government ban on Anthropic’s most powerful models

      By branfont · Posted

      A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
