Neat. About a dozen people from my guild are coming out that weekend. Guess I know what we'll be doing during downtime.

I read that as "a dozen people from my guild are coming out of the closet that weekend".

Now I have only two months more to wait. But that's ok. What's 2 months after 10 years?

And Nika: I read it that way the first time, too, then my brain said "Huh? Reread that!"

[Shoju]

Ok, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was thinking

"Why would a group of people decide to come out together, and have.... downtime, while doing so?"

You can already download the client if you want to *be prepared*

I'm already halfway through the 7.6 Gb.

That was going to be the first thing I checked when I got home.

Oddly, I didn't realize today was the first day to be able to download it, but randomly checked bnet for it... hooray for insight?

2 more months to build a beast computer to run it at max settings.

Haha, we already make enough jokes about lining the rape rooms with plastic tarp, and various people getting buried in the desert (namely the guy who got our first staff and retired two weeks into DS).

Waiting for the all-language version. Looks like I'll be away from WOW for a little longer!

Has anyone played beta for this? I don't know what to expect this game to be like.. is it going to be like the old D2 with the overhead playstyle meets new age game design or has it been turned into a RPG style game like Skyrim?

[Kelaan]

It still looks VERY much like Diablo II. It reminds me (from what I've watched) of the similarity between Warcraft III and Warcraft II: Similar, prettier, some changes bigger than others.

There's lots of gameplay footage, both on the site, on the http://www.diablofans.com/ site. There's also a bunch up on Youtube.

There's also some great Dev interviews up too which help explain what they're going to.

As I said in the success thread, I got a beta invite! Huzzah!
