Beta ouverte diablo 2

(CTN News) – This past week, Diablo 4’s highly anticipated beta has finally arrived, and it has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions for fans who have been waiting for it for so much. Despite the game’s server problems and long queues, its captivating gameplay, stunning aesthetics, and engaging storytelling have made a lasting impression on players, despite its server issues and long queues. The purpose of this article is to take you through our experience with the Diablo 4 beta, exploring the game’s triumphs, its tribulations, and what lies ahead for this beloved franchise moving forward. In order to deliver a more engaging story, Blizzard has gone to great lengths to deliver a darker, more engrossing experience which has already captivated players after only a few hours of gameplay. A chilling cutscene, a series of fascinating characters, and a mystery surrounding Lilith, the Daughter of Hatred, have given the Diablo narrative a new lease of life. Taking a fresh … [Read more...] about Beta Of Diablo 4: Triumph And Tribulations

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Early Access Beta weekend for Diablo IV ended yesterday and unfortunately, Blizzard chose not to extend it by a day despite numerous login and connectivity issues making it basically unplayable for most of Friday —or about a third of the entire beta experience. Blizzard responded to these issues in an interview at Eurogamer with the game’s general manager, Rod Fergusson. Eurogamer asked: “Did you have a metric for success for this weekend, something in particular that you were looking at? And if you did have one, did you meet it?” Fergusson’s response [bold sections I’ve highlighted]: Yeah. Part of it is the number of players. "Beta" has been a twisted word that has become "marketing beta", which means demo, and for us this was a true beta because we wanted to be able to test that load and what does it mean to get a lot of players in? And Friday was a little bumpy because of that, but the way that we … [Read more...] about Diablo 4: Blizzard Says ‘Beta’ Has Become A ‘Twisted Word’ And I’m Calling Shenanigans

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Diablo IV fans got their first taste of Blizzard’s upcoming action-RPG last weekend during the game’s Early Access Beta weekend. This was limited to pre-order customers and limited promotion deals, including one with KFC. Everybody else has to wait for this weekend, when the Open Beta kicks off. Last weekend’s beta showed off many of the cool new features we can look forward to in Diablo IV (and some of the less-great changes, too) and reminded us that Blizzard often has problems with big game launches. That was certainly the case with Diablo III’s launch and, more recently, with Overwatch 2. The Diablo IV early access beta had troubles right out the gate, with connection issues, long queues and various other problems making the game virtually unplayable for the first 24 hours or so. It sounds like, despite updates and patches designed to help create a better experience, players in the open beta should expect … [Read more...] about Blizzard Issues A Major Warning To ‘Diablo 4’ Players Ahead Of The Open Beta

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin At long last, the beta for Diablo 4 has arrived, and while it requires a pre-order (or KFC chicken sandwich) to access this first weekend, the game has enough people clogging the servers to make its initial launch here a sadly familiar sort of disaster. The good news is that when you can play the Diablo 4 beta, it absolutely lives up to expectations in its early hours in terms of gameplay, aesthetics and shockingly, even storytelling, rising above past installments. The bad news is that at least in some regions (like mine), you are allowed maybe 30-60 minutes of gameplay for every 60-120 minutes of re-login queue time. It was an endless pattern all day yesterday, I’d get in, play for a while, then get booted (usually in the middle of a dungeon with no checkpoints). The game would freeze up, I’d quit and log back in only to find an hour or two of wait time ahead of me. It’s maddening for a game I just want to play by … [Read more...] about The ‘Diablo 4’ Beta Is Fantastic, When You Can Actually Play It

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Diablo IV open beta is almost here one week after the Early Access beta and over a decade since Diablo III came out. I played the Early Access beta and had a blast, though I have a lot more to play this coming weekend. There are good and bad changes from the previous game, and some that I just haven’t made my mind up about yet. Hopefully this weekend’s beta is more successful from a tech standpoint. Between connection drops, login queues and irritating lag , last weekend’s gameplay experience was marred by frustrating issues from day one, though it went from unplayable to mostly enjoyable by the end of the beta. Blizzard has been working on fixing these and hopefully we see the fruits of the studio’s labor this weekend. Here’s everything you need to know about the Diablo IV Open Beta. Diablo IV Beta Weekend 2 Start-Time (Open Beta) The second Diablo IV beta weekend is for anybody on all the above … [Read more...] about Here’s The Exact Time The ‘Diablo 4’ Open Beta Goes Live

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Diablo IV beta kicks off this weekend, but not everyone can join the fray, slaughtering demons and exploring the first section of Blizzard’s highly-anticipated upcoming action-RPG. The two-weekend beta is split into two halves. Part 1 is Early Access only, while the second weekend opens up to everybody. You can see the start-times and everything else you need to know about the beta weekends right here. The easiest way for fans of Diablo to play in the Early Access beta is to pre-order the game on PC, Xbox or PlayStation. This gets you an Early Access beta code and you’re off to the races. However, if you don’t want to pre-order but still want in, there are other ways. One way is a bit unorthodox: Order a sandwich from KFC . Not just any sandwich, mind you, but one that has the Diablo Early Access banner (which is super obvious when you get to the KFC website or app). It looks like this: See how the … [Read more...] about How To Play The ‘Diablo IV’ Beta Early

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Diablo 4 beta launches today for those who have pre-ordered the game, or landed a code some other way. It’s a pretty hefty intro to the game with an entire act, a world boss and several classes unlocked. And if you’re like me, and are planning to go hard when the main game is released, you probably have one central question: Does Diablo 4 beta progress carry over into the main game? The answer is overwhelmingly no, with a few exceptions. So first off, your progress will carry over between the two betas, the current, pre-order beta and the open beta at the end of the month. But after that, nearly everything is being wiped. Your loot, your story progress, your levels on all your beta characters. All of that is gone. The idea here is probably some combination of not giving some players a head start at launch, given that you could take a bunch of classes to 20 and start farming up loot. But more than that, … [Read more...] about Will ‘Diablo 4’ Beta Progress Carry Over To The Full Game?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Welcome to Diablo IV’s Early Access beta weekend! So far, I have to say I’m really enjoying the game—or at least I assume I would be if I could ever login and actually play it. So far, all I’ve been able to do is load it up and stare at the login queue. On my latest attempt I was greeted by the above message: 128 minutes left before I could join. This is, to put it mildly, totally ridiculous and absolutely unacceptable on Blizzard’s part. Most players who are trying to play Diablo IV this weekend are doing so as part of the game’s pre-order bonus. The promise Activision-Blizzard made was simple: Pre-order the game and you get an extra weekend of beta play-time before the open beta the following weekend.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I have an unfortunate confession to make: Diablo 4 will be my very first Diablo game. Yes, it’s true. Somehow, after all these years, I’ve managed to outright avoid Blizzard’s popular ode-to- Gauntlet , though it wasn’t exactly intentional. I think I may have even tried the PlayStation port of the original Diablo for about ten minutes back in 1998, but it didn’t grab my attention in any meaningful way. Maybe my error was playing a PC-born masterpiece on an aging 32-bit console. That said, out of sheer curiosity, I decided to dabble in the Diablo 4 early beta this past weekend, and much to my surprise, I found it to be fantastically fun. And no, it wasn’t because I encountered a player with the username ‘yomama’ within the first 30 minutes of gameplay. On the other hand, I can’t exactly rule it out. Mentally, I’m still in middle school. What can I say. The real win? I didn’t have to buy food at KFC to … [Read more...] about My Least Favorite Part Of The ‘Diablo 4’ Beta

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Diablo 4 pre-order beta has come and gone, and now everyone is gearing up for the open beta which arrives just a few days from now. Then it’s time for the full launch of the game in June, which does not seem headed for a delay, against all odds. While monster slaying feels good as ever and environment design is Diablo 2-level top notch, there was one aspect of the Diablo 4 beta that felt far better than I was expecting, and better than anything out of the past three games as well. The story. I did not expect to be as hooked as I was on the central story of Diablo 4 until I played this beta. The intro has two major cutscenes, one that opens the game and summons Lilith, Daughter of Hatred, and a second that shows her corrupting power. While both were good, the second one was when things really turned the corner for me, as Lilith appears to a local church and inspires its patrons to beat their own priest to … [Read more...] about The Best Part Of The ‘Diablo 4’ Beta Was A Real Surprise
