Waiting for Diablo III

I wrote earlier that I tried Diablo III open beta. I decided to buy the game. Now I have "long" wait before the game is published. In the meantime I have been playing DayZ mod. It is the best Zombie survival game that I have played so far! There are still many bugs but it's been good fun so far.

I am not yet sure what class I will first choose for  Diablo III. I tried every class during open beta. All of the classes were fun in their own way. Most likely I will start with Barbarian. Diablo is hack&slash game and Barbarian is made for that. Release date for Diablo III is May 15, 2012.

Diablo III Beta

This weekend there is a change to try Diablo III before the game is officially launched. The name Beta seems to be correct in this case. I have had troubles getting into the game.

First I downloaded the game client from Diablo III internet page and started the install.

After the game was downloaded I launched the game and when I tried to login to Battle.net I got following error message:
The servers  are busy at this time. Please try again later. (Error 37)

After trying to log about 10 times I gave up and tried to use the Europe server. This seemed to be bad idea because I got error message that  said: Unable to connect to the service or the connection was interrupted. (Error 3003)

After that I tried to login again to US server without success. I will keep trying and update what happens.

Beta is available here: Diablo III open Beta

Edit:


I was able to join after about 15 join attempts. It seems that the servers are busy at the moment. I have mixed feelings about the game. The game play was little confusing at the beginning. The graphics are more candy like compared to Diablo II and it's sometimes hard to see what is happening because of the effects.

I think I will try to play the beta a little more if I have time. The game was good enough and I most likely will buy the retail version for myself.
