Go to your battle.net account page and it will show up under Diablo 3.

they send an e-mail if your in the beta if you havent gotten an e-mail stating your in the beta then you are not in.

I've gotten beta invites on two separate accounts. One got an email, the other didn't. (Checked the junk folder and everything.) It just showed up on the account page. When they did the mass invites awhile back there were a couple threads on fansite forums about that happening to other people as well.

Eurogamer has 1000 beta keys going to members who visit the page. Just got mine and off to download the client.

:(

Update: Sorry, too slow! Or rather, 1000 other people were too quick. They all went in around 20 minutes.

Guess I am just not meant to get in lol.

I've never played any of the Diabo series so I've been wanting to test Diablo 3. Though at this rate I won't be able to. :(

I played the first one, and the first d2 didn't play the expansion though. Needles to say, not getting into this beta prepared me for not getting into gw2 lol

Got my 1st proper play though and I enjoyed it immensely. Im just about lvl9 now and its starting to kick into gear a bit. Skills system I thought was a bit akward at 1st but im getting used to it now.

Tho its now got me properly intrigued as to how Torchlight 2 will stack up against it.

Am going to play it through and then give a full and honest review I think. Still learning and need to try a few classes out.

Yeh its a lot of fun. The story and wee bits shine through. Im just after venturing down in the crypts and taking on a few interesting fellows. They`ve got some nice mechanics in place to try and spur you along. The rooms involving pillars and mass undead spawns are pretty fun. 110kills in one session I got through that and a big chunk of xp. The Demon Hunter is a nice play aswell, ranged and full of slowing effects etc. There aoe slow effect rocks! But there stealth is crap imho, so far. Cant beat setting up an aoe slow, then holding down right mouse and firing hundreds of arrows in barrage at the advancing horde.

Theres the odd rough edge, but not much. The wells when clicked on can be a bit funny about actually transporting you. This is my 1st Diablo game, so like I said still learning a lot.

I wont ruin the story as its pretty decent and the quests have a nice amount of voice acting in them, not to mention the various bits of lore you pick up along the way are all voiced aswell. Good game so far and Id pick it up in a heart beat, and thats without having played the co-op mode. Tho I do now have the Templar Warrior following me about and generally being a bit of a tard. I dear say he,ll get better/useful as it progresses but other than as a basic tank at moment hes just excess baggage.

This vs TL2 tho is going to be very interesting as TL2 looks like Wow in many ways, but Diablo doesnt. Then theres the issue of updating and adding new content. Will Blizzard add to this like they have with Wow or just leave it be? Will TL2 follow suit if Blizzard update? etc etc. Should be a good year for these top down dungeon crawlers. If thats what this game is :p

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
