Diablo III Beta

It's not the servers that can't handle the traffic, it's the login server.  Once your in a game, you're fine.

TheFuriousWombat:
When I really think about, I hate the fact that D3 requires an internet connection to play. The fact that it does is nearly a deal breaker for me. I should be able to play the games I buy anywhere, whether I can get online with a fast enough internet connection or not. If it's not an MMO, there's no reason to REQUIRE everyone to be online. Call me weird, but I've always preferred solo-ing in RPGs, especially hack-and-slash heavy ones. Having a party of NPCs is OK but I don't want to do co-op with a bunch of random people or even, in most cases, my friends (few of whom will be playing this in any case). The Diablo series has always been a solitary one for me so I probably won't touch online co-op play in D3 no matter what. I want to go it alone and I don't want to have to worry about server overloads or random crashes or maintenance work to get in the way of me playing single player when I want and where I want. I'll play a demo or get a torrent or something when the final version drops and if it's as good as I'm praying it is then I'll buy the full version. But if I'm not blown away, I'll look somewhere else. Probably boot up my copies of the first Dungeon Siege and Diablo 2.

I'm getting lag in single player games - that is not how things should work at all. The always online thing isn't a dealbreaker for me - I am pretty much always online - but it damn better work. I'll not play this if the fact that my wireless hotspot is on the other side of a thick wall makes the single player experience laggy. That's bullshit.

Every time I have tried playing this weekend, they've always just taken the game down. Then I'll do something else (something I should be doing) and when I remember to check again, either I'm about to do something else, am too tired, or the same thing has happened again. I even got on long enough to make a character and then I got kicked off because they took the game offline. Again.

Kombatkoala:
I received my beta key 2 weeks ago. So far the game has been far too easy, though blizzard claims this is to be expected at this level in the game and promises that on higher difficulty levels and further in the game you will die and likely often. The beta only progresses through the first chapter of the game at which point you receive a message telling you that you have beaten the beta.
