I got sc2 beta in the 3rd wave but I have such a shitty laptop I can't even play it on low without having a bit of lag (only in 2v2s etc, 1v1 is fine). Blizzard will want to check the range of the specs from low to high so yeah. Can't say you will get it for sure but it gives a chance. | ||

First I was going to agree with you, some of the interaction in D1 would sound lame. Then I thought it could be very possible: Leoric was a knight of Zakarum, he came from Kurast and made his throne in Tristram (in Khanduras) to spread the religion. So if he had a son back in Kurast which he abandoned or whatever, the people from Tristram wouldn't know about it. They could always play it like the D1 warrior himself didn't know, but that would sound a bit Deux Ex Machina... Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of retcon's AT ALL. But it doesn't hit more than a 2 on my retcon-scale. Some more beta news from Bashiok: We’re still looking good for third quarter, which is before the end of September. We’re preparing ourselves for an extremely limited, and extremely rough beta. The number of people let in will simply be dependent on concurrency of active players (we want to keep it full), and rough because we expect many issues as we’re trying out a lot of new hardware and systems all at the same time. We’ll get it ironed out before release of course, but while most of our other game tests have been of seemingly releasable products, we’re preparing for this one to be a true beta. Expect a lot of frustration because of unstability if you have weird hardware. People who are expecting a SC2-like beta are going to disappointed. More beta-key chances for me though. | ||

Using Starcraft II's hardware requirements for a comparison will yield a more accurate result though (based on the vague information currently available).

As mentioned, you can make a decent assessment of your PC's capability to run Diablo III by using Starcraft II as an indicator. If you don't have the game you can either get the free Starter Edition or use a website such as Can you run it ? | ||

Activision Blizzard uses the calendar year as their fiscal year. | ||

It would only leave about 2 months of beta testing and then having to prepare for mass burning/packaging/shipping to hit the stores in December. Not that I expected it in 2011 but the thought sure excited me in ways that it shouldn't. i doubt beta will last even 2months. this game doesnt need as extensive testing as WoW and SC2 did. I still think a 2011 release is completely feasible. | ||

I'm not complaining though. I'm sure an "unpolished" d3 will still be godly and can just be patched as needed. | ||
