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

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • 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
