Iv had my opt-in ever since you could opt-in and i haven't got mine yet :(. I'm starting to wonder if blizzard sends them out to mac users more so than pc users.

Without wishing to depress you too much, the pool of people they have to (fairly randomly) choose from is massive.

Then again at the same time this is one of the largest Beta test i have seen from the company with nearly half a Million participants worldwide

The game will be released without pvp.

The game will be released without pvp.

I'm going to take that as if the game is pretty much gold. Balancing PVP will take months if not years.

So depending on if you like pvp I guess it's good and bad news?

What? You mean, as in there won't be any Aussie/NZ servers when the game is released, ever??

My bad, at the time there were plans for now Aussie or NZ Servers. But now there seem to be. Found this on

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/services/auction-house/regions

Auction house purchases are bound to the servers in the region in which they're bought. Any items acquired on the Australia/New Zealand/Southeast Asia servers, in-game or otherwise, are bound to those servers and are not transferrable to the North American servers (and vice versa). Please keep this in mind when making purchases in the auction house.

So there must be AUS/NZ Servers?

Maybe the player base in those areas are larger than they expected? Or maybe there won't be an AUS/NZ specfic server, but a whole eastern server? Similar to the NA and Oceanic of WoW?

Yea im thinking a Whole Eastern Server also.

No PVP, no play.

That's one game scratched off the list.

[Twisp]

It's done when it's done... Or when we've removed enough features to get it out some time soon?.

*rolls eyes*

After playing the beta this game doesn't quite interest me anymore.

[spedanden]

No PVP, no play.

I'm betting by the time you would have (you know, since youre not buying it now) hit level 60 the patch will probably be close to coming out. I'd rather get my gear in order before getting into PvP anyway. Oh well, more server bandwidth for me!

They said they would get it out shortly after release in a free patch.

"Shortly" in Blizzard terms can mean anywhere from months to years. They're almost as bad as Valve :p

Nah once they get a game out they are pretty quick with content at least lol.

O lol leet post count.

[mounty]

is there no paladin in diablo 3?

[Nagisan]

Nope, no Paladin.....the only returning classes are Barbarian and Wizard (sorceress). I guess you could argue that demon hunter = amazon, but not really, only 1 thing in common w/ amazon (ranged attacks). If you had to pick a class that was closest to paladin though, Monk...they have a few Aura's (called Mantra's) they can use that do different things (life regen, dodge rating increase, etc), but really very few of the classes are anything like the original D2 classes, so lack of paladin isn't really surprising.

They are a lot worse, :laugh: Valve still have 5 years to release EP3 or HL3, Blizzard went pass the 10 years for a sequel a long time ago. :D

oh well, guess I'll have to hope for a paladin option in the first expansion

[Amarok]

Was the arena system the only PvP in the game? Or is that just one aspect of the PvP that won't be in there?

Either way I'm not really a PvPer so I'm not worried about it.

[Daniel_Pooh]

Out of curiousity has anyone played the beta on a Mac? If so, how well does it run because I'm getting the iMac 27" with 8 gb of ram and the highest gpu for that model.

Uhh no your not getting that piece of crap, your going to out buy a case then buy the computer parts and put them inside the case.

[shakey]

At first, No PVP at first release seemed bad. But after a little thought, it is ok. This will give people plenty of time to get their characters built and thought through in term of PVP. You can't just make a character and have him PVP ready. Normally, it requires going through the game, multiple times, to get the items and levels needed to be able to be a force. So Single Player only isn't that bad , as long as they don't take too long to release PVP.
