Happy Birthday to me...

Downloading as we speak. I've always been really curious about the Diablo games, I'm approaching this a complete Diablo newbie.

Mines finished but I'm at work till 7PM :( - I'm a Diablo Newbie too

Enjoy the beta weekend everyone. It's a lot of fun.

YAH!!! Downloading now, I am pretty much done, but by lunch when I can play it will be good to go. That's awesome D3 this weekend, GW2 next!

Oh wow, just found a hint on the blizz forums.

I was downloading at 300kb/s. Which is hella slow. So I googled and found a trick. Un-tick the automatically detect settings under lan in the internet settings in internet explorer. I am current getting anywhere from 3.5mb/s to 4.5mb/s on my 32mbit connection.

Beta is short but tons of fun. Multiplayer is a blast. Can't wait for May 15th! CE pre-ordered since last year. :)

SchWING! Downloading as I type this - curiousity factor, admittedly (I'm more a StarCraft/StarCraft II person - I found the original Diablo and D2 meh, to be honest). If they have improved it, I may have to find a place in my game rotation for it.

Dude, come on, we know. Look at all the posts above you on this page, rather than your post count..

No kidding.

Sorry, was in a rush. Haven't been following the thread lately

[nominak]

Now only a little less than 6 hours to go before it's up and running!

[PGHammer]

No kidding.

Still, you have to wait until 3:01PM Eastern Daylight Time/8:01 PM GMT/Zulu (2:01PM EST/CDT, and 12:01PM PDT/11:01 AM PST) to play - though you CAN download the game now.

Oh... figures they would do this on a weekend I've got a million other things to do. :/

I find it funny how I uninstalled the game from the Starter Edition mishap from the other day just last night, and now BLAMO open beta :D

It's ok though, I was getting near 8 Mb/s when I redownloaded it earlier. Took like, no time at all really :p

That happened to me too, downloading the beta twice. But with really slow speeds (~19 kb/s), it ****es me off.

Is that your internet speed? If not try this:

1. Un-check use P2P Downloading

2. In the Internet Options (internet explorer -> settings)

-> Go to the Connections tab

-> Click on LAN Settings

-> UnCheck automatically detect settings

I did the above I went from 180kb/s to 3.5->4.5mb/s

Has the beta started for Europe yet? Can't login that's all.

It won't be starting for another 5 hours. It's still 7 AM PDT. Won't be live till 12:00 PDT

[Kerm]

Ah ok, thought that may be it. Thanks.

[firey]

yep, no problem :)

Sadly there are already a crap ton of bots playing the game so I see myself only playing through single player or with close friends when I play. Last night I was playing and EVERY person in my group was a bot :(

The bots are just for farming stuff? Or?

And seriously.. wtf. Bots can get into beta but I can't?!?

LAWL!! This!

I am assuming that folks that are in the beta sold/traded their account to someone so that they could test the bots out prior to the game coming out. These bots were all able to do things that I could not (very fast attacks) as well as all having High level armor/weapons that were magical. they were also all max level. (13)
