If you are downloading a non-US client, you have to select "US" as server in the options menu, because the EU server option does not seem to work.

EDIT: Already posted. ^^

Why does shit like this always happen when i'm at work :(

[StoppedInTracks]

I guess the subs must have really taken a nosedive...

/joke

[Naeblish]

I would recommend not to wait if you want to try the beta, they fixed the waypoints to the restricted zones in a day.

[Lanbeast]

I hope this isn't taken down by the time I get home from work.

[Sn4ke_911]

I hope this isn't taken down by the time I get home from work.

Seriously, someone save this shit somehow :/

[Kud Dukan]

Well I'll give this a shot. I've never played a Diablo game before, but I'd really like to try. I think it's something I could get really sucked into, which could be good or bad...

[valeo]

Seriously, someone save this shit somehow :/

Yeeah, good luck with that mate

[Andiie]

Oh wow, surely they didn't intend this. Knowing my luck they'll fix it the moment I get it downloaded.

The appropriate reaction for any blizzard event or announcement:

[Tame]

downloading.....thanks buddy

[Tantalus]

I'll give it a shot, mostly to see if I can run the game. Hope it stays up for long enough for me to get home in twenty-five minutes.

[Salih]

It works from europe!

For people out of europe - change ingame server settings to north america so you can connect to the server. if you choose EU server you will get an 3003 error. Also you should have a battletag already created to login successfully.

[Hoo-doo]

My download speed just dropped from 2MB/s to a paltry 300kb/s.

Stop hogging all the bandwidth, guys.

[Riggs]

I am going to be that guy.

For all you at work who arn't getting in on this, don't worry. It's awesome as fuck, but may 15th is soon. The beta will just leave you wanting more and more, IMO it's better to just wait. I played the beta so much, and for some weird reason it makes waiting for release even harder.

Thank god for Path of Exile in the mean time that is all I can say.

[PsychoWARD23]

yay

awesome

Bar the entire servers being overloaded, I'm sure the links will stay up that long. Heck, this may even be intentional. You never know with Blizzard. :P

[Balehead]

It does work indeed, just choose The America from your options.

[Sn4ke_911]

Oh wow, surely they didn't intend this. Knowing my luck they'll fix it the moment I get it downloaded.

Yeah, Jay Wilson confirmed at Gamescom 2011 that the beta will only be a closed one; all players will need a beta key and an invitation to participate.

[-Winnie-]

I made a new Battle.net account to try this out. Should it work for me? :/

[Cidfox]

You are my hero!

[Tenck]

Hopefully it's a game I'll get into. Downloading right now, and will report back in 10 mins.

Somewhat on topic of your response:

I was amused anyway.

7 GB seems a bit to download at the moment for me unless this is truly confirmed (meaning it doesn't go away because it's a bug or glitch).

[Suairyu]

UGH I'm still at work and was planning on staying late to get some things done... might raincheck that idea... Will subscribe to this thread and check at five thirty what's what!

[GasProblem]

Well, played for around 30 seconds and I'm already happy.

Really like the looks of the game now that I've finally seen it in person.

[qazqaNii]

Hmm.. I can login but can't enter a game.

[kyubajin]

(Spain GAF) Downloading now! Will report back.

[Sn4ke_911]

7 GB seems a bit to download at the moment for me unless this is truly confirmed.

You can BELIEVE it when a few Gaffers already confirmed it works! The real question is, how long will it work?

[Brettison]

Installing!!

[Skyfireblaze]

I never liked the Diablo games but this is a good chance to test if that changed with DIII thanks for the heads up! I will just make a new Battle.net account in case this should be a bug as I don't want my WoW getting banned if Blizzard decides to throw a fit.

[NintendoGal]

I edited my response to make more sense. ;)

This is exactly what I'm afraid of.

[Kiraly]

Downloading the en-GB client, hope it works!

[Sophuis]

Won't download. Tried multiple launchers.

CANCEL: ERROR: Unable to find streaming info for "Data_D3\PC\MPQs\HLSLShaders.mpq". (OpenRepackTarget::Validate)

[Sophia]

Ohmygosh. Barbarian. So gooood.

[Bullza2o]

So after logging into D3 Beta, I don't see the beta under my account on Battle.net. It still only says "Pre-purchase Diablo 3 now" and nothing else under it. This may be a bug after all.

[Riggs]

I tried to load beta just to see if servers are fucked, I can't even get the launcher to pop. You are all ruining my experience!!!!

[fluffydelusions]

This is exactly what I'm afraid of.

I stopped playing the beta after a bit. It took much willpower and I know it's only a small portion of the game but I just didn't want to ruin the full experience :)

Why do people like you get a beta key? :P

[Bomber Bob]

DOWNLOADING NOW

[fluffydelusions]

Why do people like you get a beta key? :P

Well I did play it for about 8 hrs straight not just a couple of minutes if it makes you feel better :)

[Imp the Dimp]

Is it a glitch or intended?

[Zzoram]

Isn't the Beta content only half of Act 1? Not sure if it's worth the effort when the full game is out in less than a month.



I guess maybe they made it a fully open beta to give people a demo?

[Phinor]

Start game seems to just time out, been clicking for a while now. Managed to create few characters but that's about it so far.

[Torraz]

What?

THANK YOU BASED BLIZZARD!

[Hoo-doo]

Currently at the login screen.
EN-GB client, servers set to "The Americas" and I get 3003 errors trying to sign in.

Edit: Fixed, i'm in!

[Keasar]

Fuck it, can do my research tomorrow, downloading!

[Adamm]

At work, nooooooooooo!!!

[entrydenied]

Tried with a Singapore account. Works.

[Angelus Errare]

Why does shit like this always happen when i'm at work :(

This, and watch when we get off Blizzard has closed this shit back up

FUCK!
