Diablo 3 Open Beta Weekend Starts Today
Today Shacknews is reporting that Diablo III will be open to the public for beta testing. The open beta weekend begins this afternoon at 12:01pm Pacific, then will run until 10:00am on Monday, Blizzard explains in a Diablo blog post. All you need to play is a Battle.net account. You can download the client in advance, so you don't miss a second. The beta is relatively small, packing the first part of Diablo III's first act, but you will be playing Diablo III. Unlike proper closed beta testers, open beta players won't receive 'Beta Bucks' to spend in the auction house and cannot post in the beta forums.
Diablo III launches for PC and Mac on May 15. The closed beta test will wrap up on May 1.

I enjoyed Diablo2 and torchlight and many other games.
Just because i love dioblo2 does not mean whatever blizzard must be absolutely perfect.
My complaints is simply pointing out there are lots of OBVIOUS improvement to be made.
Something like a hardcore mode as a "feature" just shows you how dumb/uncreative blizzards are.
To me, torchlight is the next step and diablo3 is too conservative and backwards.
Some games can make changes like this, and it's for the better (Fallout 3), but Diablo isn't one of them IMO.
I would have happy with another overhead Fallout as well. However, I believe it's change over to first person added to the experience and depth of immersion.
