Diablo 3 scheduled for Q1 2012 release!

I think it deserves it's own forum of course and I can imagine many many people will be playing it!

I've never played it! Is it anything like World of Warcraft? I think the same people make them don't they?

They better deliver on time, manly tears will be shed.

They both have the same dev, Blizzard. It's more like Borderlands or Torchlight if you've played those games. The original team that made Diablo 2 left Blizzard to start their own franchise. They came known to be ArenaNet, the company that create Guild Wars and are now developing Guild Wars 2.

I played Guild Wars loved it, and will definitely give Guild Wars 2 a try also. I swear when Guild Wars came out was probably the best coded game I have ever played, had a shitty comp at the time and the game ran so smoothly and alt tabbed so fast and clean. Hope Guild Wars 2 will be even better, so far it does.

WTF this is about Diablo 3!

Get Diablo 3 Forsaken you won't be disappointed!

I HIGHLY recommend getting Diablo II in the mean time. You can buy the battlechest version for pretty cheap now-a-days, and it was definitely one of the best games of the last decade. You won't be disappointed.

Over 9000 AGREEEEEEEEEEE!

Haha I might have to try it. Guild Wars was pretty cool back in the day.

If you've kept up to date on D3 news and are eagerly waiting for D3, there's been recent closed beta changes that indicates the release of D3 is near. Blizzard recently removed unfinished or incomplete systems of their game such as Scroll of Reforging and Scroll of Companion instead of spending more time to improve on it so that they can wrap up the current product and prepare for a release. Of course, this is still just speculation but things are getting rushed and I expect an announcement on a release date next week or so when they meet up with their investors. Here's to hoping.

Amen to that! I'm psyched for this game!

Can't wait!

Yes... Yes.. Yes!!!! Just got invited to the beta, 2/1/2012. I suspect there was another wave of invites (perhaps larger than before) today for players that chose to opt-in for betas. See you all in game

You jerk! I am completely jealous man! Please share or give us your thoughts about the game!

The more the merrier, if you computer can handle it! I'll definitely be playing this game heavily and will be Ventrilo very often for it, I'm super psyched for this game.

It is very very very fun but very very very short and easy, but this is to be expected since this is a beta and only on normal difficulty. You know what, pm me if you want and I can lend you my Blizzard account so you can try it out for yourself. I have already played it out to the maximum potential and am set for the release. Blizzard recently added their Blizzard Balance patch, which means you can now deposit money straight from your bank account or credit card into a Blizzard-merchandise only account balance. This implies that the RMAH system which many believe was holding back the release of Diablo 3 is now completed and should spell out the imminent release of Diablo 3. Great news all around.

These are the
Minimum Requirements to play Diablo III. Knowing Blizzard, they will try to reach out to the largest demographic of players (think WOW graphics) in order to gain the most revenue and so you would likely be able to play on 5+ year old computers.
I am running on a e8400 @ 3.0 Ghz, 8 GB DDR2-800 RAM, 4X 7200 RPM drives (2 TB, 2X1 TB, 500 GB), ATI 4850 512 MB. Everything is on high except clutter which is on medium. AA is on, V- Sync off, running on 1080x1920 Windowed Mode. This is a 3-4 year old PC and I only get initial loading lag, otherwise it runs buttery smooth.
