My game was downloading at about 100kb/s. After doing the following (see link), my speed jumped up to about 2.5mb/s

increase beta dl speed

Holy shit, that definitely helps! 100kB/s to 4MB/s!

As a side note, that's the first time I've opened IE since I built my computer

yeah same with me. I built a new computer a few weeks ago and downloaded firefox right away, I never use IE.

Was sitting on google forever trying to find a fix for the slow download and then finally came across that link. Worked like a charm.

My download speed last night for the client was in the range of 8-9 MB/s... note, I said MB/s, not Mb/s.

I love when 100 Mbps internet actually gets near topping out

It worked!!!
Went from 7k/sec to 5.5MB/sec!

Don't bother with this. Waste of 15GB, no one can connect.

It's been up and down all day. Give it another try, I was just able to get in.

Interesting but kind of boring. Good preview to what D3 will be. You can finish the game relatively quickly, max lvl being 13. Has 'achievements' that you obtain throughout the game kinda like on PS3. Contemplating on buying the collector's edition now..

[HyperZell]

What did everyone think? I tried the Monk, Demon Hunter and Wizard. I'll probably roll a Monk for the real thing, but I did enjoy blasting things with the Wizard, so I'm not sure. Did not enjoy the run and gun style of the Demon Hunter though...

I think level 13 is only the max for this open beta. Actual game goes beyond level 13.

I found it... slow. Compared to the midlevels of Diablo 2 where you were frantically clicking in 17 different directions at once, D3 to 13 on a Demon Hunter felt positively sluggish. I guess I'll have to evaluate it live when I get it a few months after release (lesson learned about Blizz games: always skip the first month, it's when all the bugs get ironed out XD)

pretty dece game... monk is so OP in open beta though...

I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST.

I found the same feeling I had with D2 that I did with D3. They haven't changed much (except minor things). Game runs well on a lot of machines. Demon hunter is a little sluggish, but I'd say that more has to do with the fact that even if you miss with an arrow, it flys back to hit a target.

DH has consistently been the worst class for me throughout the beta. The rest are a ton of fun.

[sputnik]

I like the DH.

However I always like range attacks more than spells or melee.

[Tik-Tok]

I was pretty happy with the beta, it's just an updated version of D2. I wish they kept the old skill tree though. I liked it better.

[Rhystar]

no more beta

I know i've been saying it since page 1, but now that i've had a chance to play the classes with the beta... I really hate the class selection in this game. I really miss classes like warrior (d1) or paladin (d2). Demon Hunter seems to try to appeal to a younger audience with the dual wielding hand crossbows and even the name itself... wish they would have kept with more popular lore / classes and added the more niche classes to things in future xpacs. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'd rather take a holy sword and fight a lord of hell vs punching one as a monk...

Demon hunter just doesn't have the same style as amazon (i find). Wish they had a "Ranger" which could dual wield melee, use a 2 hander, or use a bow/crossbow... Also D2 Necromancer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> D3 Witch Doctor.

Ah welll, i'll play a wizard main and a barb secondary toon
