Really hope the game progresses better...

So easy mode, didn't lose more than 20% life the whole game.


Beta goes to level 9-10ish, you get a feel for the UI and skills. Characters (the 3 I've played where really fun; monk, wizard, hunter)


Graphics: 10/10 I was just standing around looking at things.

Gameplay: too easy, but pretty smooth. I chopped up a lot when people leveled. It does a DragonBall Z move and the graphics loading seemed to catch my graphics. I was playing it on as intense as possible though...

The gold pickup is still annoying, you just have to go near it to pick it up...but it's like candy everywhere...and like Pac Man I gotta get all the dots...

REALLY like how everyone's screen shows their own unique drops. No more loot theifs. Shrines and alters are shared, no more 'race for it'.


Lots of the same things you love, settings you love, names/characters you love/hate. Just a bit more polished than D2 (cross-over storage chest, self-identify items, archer's don't need to constantly restock arrows).


Looks to be D2.5; the graphics patch.

There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

Its supposed to be straight easy mode. Take comfort in that at least.

It's the first third of the first act on the first difficulty. Were you expecting a challenge?

Yes. Let us test each difficulty. Level hero to 20/40/80 and let us go to town

you can get to level 13 in beta... we aren't testing difficulty, just servers and bugs in the early game.
