Just a quick little note guys...I can log into the beta now :D

Thankfully I found my DVD backup I made awhile ago with the installer on it (which at that time was an actual error Blizz made letting me see it etc) and it still works, so yay. Downloaded enough to hit play, play and now making a character OMG

Enjoy LOC. It is a lot of fun. :)

Yeah, having a blast already on my ranged dudette. I don't know what the fuss was about with the graphics though...looks fine to me? Colors are a bit desaturated but, the land is invaded by hell demons right? heh, I'm gonna try an online match soon, I just get a join public game thing, I take it there is no server browser or game listing, just matchmaking? (I'd know this answer already but I got DC'ed to get a patch apparently, or Blizz discovered their folly and nuked the access to the game :D)

I predownloaded it but I still get this message when trying to install it...I guess its because this is the full version rather than the Beta

Yes that's because it's the official client. I've tried to look at how to bypass that, but the furthest I can get is the TOS, but I can't install due to some "Un-set Installation Options"

Welp, I can't login now. Get error #3005 which from a quick googling is quite the popular error for the game - especially for those who just got beta access or aren't in the beta :(

Hopefully the login servers are just down because of the patch, or I'll go insane and summon hell beasts.

I wouldn't worry just yet. I just tried logging in, and on the login screen there is a system message that the beta is down and they're working to figure out why. That was at 5:30ish PST, and I still wasn't able to login at 10:30 EST. So who knows, maybe you can still get in.

Says it's down... fixing an issue.. hopefully the issue wasn't the allowance of anyone to play lol

Yeah just saw that they will update at 11 AM PST. Meh. I bet I won't be able to play when they get things back up and running lol

They took the servers down to address an issue with folks that are not even part of the beta being able to sign in and play

I just hope the game won't have a "weekly maintenance" like WoW has. If they have to, do it on a different day other then Tuesday. :|

It is not a matter of the game servers going down on Tuesdays as they take down ALL of the Battle.net Services.

So Yes on Tuesdays they will be taking down Diablo as well. (and Starcraft, and Wow, and Titan.)

Apparently they mistakenly let out a "Starter Edition" client, which is nothing more than a demo version of the beta pretty much as it is. But someone at Blizz let people access it (like me) and now I wonder what they are going to do...let the people who got it play the game...or tell them sorry gotta wait until the 15th of May to play.

They will say "Tough, wait till the 15th. Was released before schedule. You aren't in the beta, you have no rights to be playing the game." I can't see them making an exception.

It will probably be like the Starcraft 2, and WoW trials. You are limited by level, not by time.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?

      If we can't agree on a baseline of reality then there is no point in talking. Its a waste of time.
