Just an FYI but there is a github that exists that lets you play this without actually being invited to it, I don't want to break any rules by linking to it, but it exists all the same.

I don't really know why Blizzard limited the alpha tests like they have, maybe they're worried about being flooded with reports or overloading their bandwidth.

They likely don't need mass-testing for that client (which is what beta is for). Alpha testing would basically to just make sure the game "works" with a larger sample size that the internal team can muster themselves, and all the major systems work.

I mean. The gameplay they've shown looks awesome. True to the style of the game but updated with better graphics. I can't wait to play through it properly. I wonder if they've removed any of the qwerks and glitches that we all loved so much? Cow level? what cow level?

I know I'm just gona sound like a party pooper... but I'd rather have an accelerated development towards D4 then another re-master. After all WC3 remastered was a resounding success..... oh no wait....

Oh I know that really. I meant more that if i had the power to make the decision to forcefully re-allocate the resources, that's what I'd do :D

The team that was hired to do D2R initially had nothing to do with Blizzard but after doing a great job on the game their now apart of Blizzard. It had no impact whatsoever on Diablo 4's development and I can't see how initially speaking to Vicarious Visions would have impacted development time with their other games.

Also bit unfair comparing it to WC3R, we've already played D2R and it's a fantastic remaster so far.

Fair enough. I shouldn't be tarnishing those guys with the same brush, given that as you say they are an entirely separate entity. I stand corrected :)
