Some well known players, Testers in the past(Past WoW and Starcraft 2 testers who tested the game for bugs/glitches as opposed to just playing it, and gave legitimate feedback to Blizzard) Friends and family of Blizzard employees(It could be true however, that alpha friends is already ongoing but I don't know about that, they may just be under NDA(or whatever its called) Your PC specs, the worse, the better most likely, as its no use testing Diablo III on a NASA computer, but it is important to know how it will run on a 5 year old computer so to speak. Most likely other factors, but that is what I remember from the other Beta's. | ||

But i wouldn't mind if it would be. Actually i would rather pay 5-10$ to prevent the same shit that happened with D2. | ||

Hopefully the PvP will be as fun as it was in D2  Yeah, like I said Hammerdins were just OP. Less so now because Blessed Hammers got nerfed (like it should have) but they were pretty good even in PvP even without Teleport because of Charge/Vigor giving them sick mobility. Then a couple glitches provided you with the ability to be dangerous. They are kind of hard to explain, so i'll let Youtube do it: As much as the Demon Hunters dual crossbow shenanigans pain me, I think i'm going to role a DH first. Their resource system sounds like a ton of fun, actually.... Diablo iii Wiki:While the actual name of the Demon Hunter's resource system is not yet known, it has been revealed that the system will be a personality-based dichotomy: Hatred and Discipline. Hatred skills will be able to be used more than Discipline skills.[1] Hatred skills will be mostly associated with bow attacks and burst-damage while Discipline will primarily focus on traps and preparation.[2] | ||

At least in HC I dunno, I feel like I could beat any Smiter with a Hammerdin. The thing with smiters is that if they get you once, you are dead. No margin for error, but I would honestly say I'd rather have the Hammerdin. Better range... it is like Marines vs Zealots. | ||

Hammerdin has an attack than fills the whole screen, Smiter require melee. Hammerdin losing is more him making a mistake then anything. | ||

Yeah no kidding. I wouldn't mind it so much if they made a new DIII currency... but they won't which means many a player will start rich. Not that I would mind if I could remember my damn account info. Haha. | ||

Even after the change they are one of very few "best PvE'ers". V/T's with amazing gear are better than hammerdins in PvP, but smiters are not better than hammerdin. v/t's aren't used by good players period. the foh damage is very weak vs a properly geared character, and doesn't even hurt some characters(druids, sorcs) because of their skills. it just weakens a pure smiter in both skill points and gear. as for 1v1, of course a hammerdin of equal skill wins. but that's literally the worst matchup for a smiter. 1v1's are pretty silly to discuss anyways. | ||

However, I must disagree with the Smiter get you once dead comment. Due to the knockback nature of Smite, ability for every character to weapon switch glitch out of stuns, and uninterruptable skills like Charge, this doesn't really happen. | ||

I've a slight feeling that a lot of the old-school fans would be ticked off if Diablo 3 was a Pay2Play game. I, for one, simply refuse to play Pay2Play games. | ||
