Also, thoughts on D3 getting its own subforum?

Seems like blizzard games lend themselves well to overanalytical nutjobs (myself included)

Probably too early for it's own subforum considering 1% of the people who want to play can actually play it.

I'll upload pics in the morning, my girlfriend is over so I can't even play it tonight My roomate is enjoying it though. Check your emails, I'm sure there are more.

I think d3 should get it's own subforum already - it will definitely need one later so that isn't an issue. I read this thread 3-4 times a day. Would encourage people to make more threads regarding more minor topics and just create more discussion period.

Sounds like some invites are finally going out. Which means we can official be mad for not getting one.

what are the odds of getting an invite? Like a million to one?

Contrary to the blue post about invites going out between 9am and 6pm pacific I didn't get mine until almost 1230AM. At first I actually thought it might be a phishing attempt until I logged into my battlenet and saw it was for real.

The email:



The character screen:

This is such a joke. I ran the system check a while ago, and never checked the results. Just looked now and it said I only had 256mb of video ram....run it again and instantly updates to 1 gig. Probably going to miss it because of this bs.

I have a top of the line Macbook pro, active WoW subscription, all of the games in my account, and haven't gotten one.

That probably isn't why amigo.

PS I ain't mad.

I'll attempt to hide my jealousy if you'll just post a bunch of cool ****! Screenshots of good items, broken abilities, crafting stuff, anything!

Yeah, I've got an iMac.

Just saying it probably didn't help my cause that the system req thing didn't properly report what type of video card I have. Doubt you can even play this game with a 256mb card.

pretty pumped cpt told me he got it and i checked. SHIP d3 BETA!!!!

I'm pretty sure they want to test the game on low-end computers as much as anything, so I doubt this has anything to do with it.
09-27-2011 , 01:41 PM
Sick life jc. Didn't get an invite obv.

Can you tell us what your system specs are? Blizzard bases their selections in part on those, so maybe we can all go out and buy your kind of videocard for better chances or something.

Right? Hardcore enthusiasts are gonna buy the game already. Just like WoW they want to broaden their marketshare to people who might not buy the game or already know about it: casuals without great gaming rigs.

Definitely a very valid point. Just grasping at straws as to why I didn't get it. Hopefully all the invites aren't out yet....
09-27-2011 , 02:38 PM
youll have way enough time to somehow test the beta over the next 6 months... with the waves of invites or from someone you know who got bored after 5 hours

50-50, just like everything else in life.
09-27-2011 , 02:53 PM
What are the chances that getting an invite is 50/50?

1? or 50/50? or 3.50?
09-27-2011 , 03:02 PM
Yeah apparently the general public invites did indeed start going out today, of course my account isn't flagged for it, :sadface:

but I anticipate new waves of invites every week or two, as the beta is so small people will quit playing it after they've run through all the content a few times.
