Diablo 3 Beta [Beta withdrawal underway!]

Should be Tuesday, has to be a week before release at the latest.
Is it really? I didnt know they put that in as an option. I think it would be awkward in a game like Diablo.
Edit: Oh its a script. Naaah not unless the game officially supports it would I bother. Especially if it gives you an advantage over standard control.
HOLY FUCK WHAAAAAAAAAT??!?!! WASD-MOVEMENT IS POSSIBLE YOU SAY?
Who is this guy? is there any official word from blizz? i mean can we believe him? oh wait it's a script? so blizzard doesn't want us to use this?
It's not an option, it's a script. The guy talking about it kind of sold me on using WASD for small movements while attacking. Also, it probably helps with animation cancelling which means you can attack faster.
Thats exactly why Im not going to bother. He makes a good and convincing point about the WASD making the game a bit easier because of the move in one direction and attacking in the other.
Blizzard manages to sweep in and disable that shit while your mid way through Inferno, Im not trying to be the guy trying to adjust after that. No way.
Before you get too happy, here's the current script people used in the beta.

This is true, and so my dream using WASD in D3 just died. If blizz doesn't want us to use it, then i won't use it. I'm not risking my battle.net account just for this shit.
I'm going to use it either way.
It's not like it's a bot in WoW or anything.
That quote certainly doesn't say "we'll ban your ass"
EDIT: Oh... "or allow it".
Pfft fuck that. Still using it.

I don't want WASD in my D2. I like slouching and 1 handing it, sometimes.
Oo whilst browsing the Diablo forum, I saw this http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4253973263?page=16#314
Essentially the monk skills that doesn't fit into the category of a 'fist' or a 'strike' got an animation when attacking with equip weapon. So no more 'Holstering' weapons when doing Dashing Strike, Crippling Wave, and Deadly Reach.
Also post-launch 'fist' weapons will be getting animation as well aka Exploding Palm, Way of the Hundred Fists, and Fists of Thunder.

If we had the WASD option, couldn't we map the game to be played on a pad?
No - but this one does:

So use this WASD script - but please don't complain afterwards if you should get banned!
I'll probably be on a gamepad by the end of the first week to alleviate the carpal tunnel-esque pain that I'm surely going to be experiencing by that time.

I can understand them possibly temp. banning people using scripts, but I will be very pissed if they do that to me with the darker shader .dll.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Hmm, Blizzard didn't ban the people who used X-Mouse Button Control-script in SC2 (a program that lets you bind any button to any button, including mouse scroll so you'd be able to do some impossible maneuvers with tricks).
So why would this be banned?
So why would this be banned?
Yeah, I will get a serious headache if I see any "OMG! Blizzard is the next EA, banned for no reason!" style threads...
That's what I'm thinking.
I don't plan on doing any PvP or even any crazy MP for that matter.
I'll let everyone know how it goes come Tuesday (if anyone gives a shit that is lol).
I'm just not in the mood for my hand falling off from clicking so much.
More control options for players = happier everyone.
Either way, you won't see me bitching if I ever got banned.

Whoa that CE is HUUUGE!
Never thought it would be that big, don't know why really

Lol I might wait a bit myself. Just to see some 'official' handling method. I find it funny how they say that this would give an 'advantage' but they allow animation cancelling.

Oh and there's already a move-button in the options. It's not bound to any button but if you do bind it, all you have to do is press that and the character will start running towards the direction you have the mouse pointer at. That way you won't "accidentally" hit targets when you want to run.
That doesn't matter, when you press WASD the script is inputting the actual mouse commands into the game for you. It's not much different from botting in principle. It's your account though, just know that you're taking a gamble.

It actually looks smaller than my WoW boxes and SC2 box. But I might just be misjudging the picture.

True but that doesn't really apply to Diablo, it messes up the legacy feel of Diablo 2.

It's in the process of being made and if all things go well, should be up sometime Tuesday. I couldn't guarantee what time, as it's not done yet and I'll probably at least be working on finishing throughout the day. Even once up, I may add some extra polish before the 15th, and I'll certainly be updating it with News, Changes, Announcements, etc. I have a subsection dedicated to that.
Even if something unexpected happens, it should still be up no later than Thursday.
If you want a sneak preview of where I've been testing layout and stuff, you can delve through my post history and try to find where I'm working on it - though there's not much there at the moment. I do have to ask that if you find it that you don't link to that post, or bump the thread (which has been long dead.) or I'll be forced to delete anything there and move it somewhere else undisturbed.
I think it's just the picture. The SC2 box was more horizontal (the art book was in sideways.) The CE WoW boxes have a vertical orientation, like this one appears to be. Should still be the same size art book and room for everything else.

You're playing with fire. If Blizzard feels WASD is a significant advantage over mouse controls, then you're clearing the game faster, and getting access to better drops faster and more often, and gaining an advantage in the RMAH. There is literally no single-player to just do your own thing in--even if you're playing by yourself, you're potentially affecting other people's games and the RMAH economy.
I'm just arguing from Blizzard's point of view if they bring the hammer down, mind you. But it's a totally valid argument.

In the D3 beta were you allowed to have spaces in characters names?
I'm going to have to put my desire to not get banned up against my desire to not have my wrist/back in agony. My PC gaming posture is terrible compared to my controller gaming posture. I don't expect to run hell or inferno with a controller, but normal and nightmare should be doable.

There is a flyer up here for a big local chain of stores that say the game comes out this Thuesday,it's a mistake obviously but I was thinking even if it was true,the server will go up on the 15th only right?..no pre-order,head start with this one right?...(meaning no one can even play this early even if some places sell it early hehe)

Haha oh my...
If you play a ranged character you don't need to click exactly on the ennemy.
Holding Shift and firing a ranged attack is faster.
Yeah, I launched TQ for about 20 minutes, finished Athens and almost done with greece, but I just can't keep playing. It gets worse as we get closer to release day.
Agreed.
