That because unfortunately far too many users have come over time to think that beta=demo
Yeah, it does sound that way - hopefully it's to make for a smoother launch; I'd rather they purposely queue people to test their systems in beta than at launch.
Also, just in case anyone is interested for this weekends beta to get the most out of their playtime, there is a Diablo 4 interactive map of Act 1 that shows all the locations. Obviously this will have spoilers so don't use it if you want to find everything on your own
Same. I was thinking last weekend that I didn't want to venture too far. I will likely start again with a new character class today and do the same things to directly compare how the classes differ without spoiling too much.I'm intentionally not even exploring all I could do in the beta, I want to leave a lot of this to discover in live still
I didn't do all the story missions just zoomed around and did some of the dungeons to hit 25, think some areas I didn't even go to.
Yeah I'm going for Necro I think todayl. I usually play sorcerer or dex characters in Dark Souls type games and probably will be a sorcerer in D4 on launch, but want it to be new if I do.
Remembering back to the days of the original WoW open beta it was near enough a fully working demo which was for the most part incredibly stable. If its a similar this weekend then Blizzard have done well.
Not often we have a new arpg game out.
A Sorceror with hydra skill is looking like the safe bet at the moment. The teleport skill has a lengthy cooldown in D4 so isn't as useful as in previous games but Sorc has lots of barriers/defensive options. I might roll with a Rogue on launch ; I found it very fun in last week's beta and it had great mobility with the Dash skill. According to closed beta testers a bone-specced Necromancer is powerful at endgame. I'll try the Necromancer first today, then Druid.
Yes. It was a very safe build to play with. Had a more passive playstyle compared to other classes, but that's always been the case with Necromancers ( going back to D2 ).
Theres nothing wrong with that, not every game is for everyone, even in genres they like. I love MMOs, but I've disliked almost all the MMOs that I've tried since 2004, you're doing the right thing by trying out the beta and seeing if it clicks with you, no need to spend a single penny on it until you know that.
