I really really want this game and I want it to be good, but I will never ever again preorder a AAA title. Too many bad experiences and Blizzard isn't a company that you can blindly trust anymore. Enticing players to preorder by allowing them into an OPEN(!) BETA(!) is really ridiculous and I hope this is just a stupid phase in the development of how game sales and hype work and will fall out of style in a few years again.Comment by BonkyI hope there aren't many bugs and problems found during these play testsComment by memostarPaid beta testers hooo :)

More like a Network Test than a Beta.Comment by SilkI will play and enjoy the beta for sure.

But understand this isn't an actual test of any gameplay.

Diablo is an endgame focused game, in terms of gameplay, this test is borderline useless.

This is a server test and nothing more.Comment by FuryXHDThe question is...on launch Error 31 :D?Comment by decree72I am so ready, my launcher is waiting to install, i had many hours fun in d1 to d3 so i am full of hope d4 will be the same!Comment by Enril766Paid beta testers hooo :)
