Great news. I’m guessing that the servers will be swamped at 9:01 on Wednesday morning so I’ll wait until Wednesday night or even Thursday to download my copy.

Will you mock them by calling them Diablo 3 fanboys now?
If people have a problem they go to forum so ye there will be complains.

Well then, so they did decide to go with Forums for D4 then. I guess that is good.

I wonder if you need to prepurchase to have access? MissC will you and Leviathan still be the MVPs on the D4 forum?

If they have been crying about D3 for 11 years and D4 for 3 years, why would I refer to them as “Diablo 3 fanboys.”

If they need to purchase D4 to be able to post on the forum at least we will know which of the haters are liars.

I hope the D4 forum requires you to buy the game to be able to post on it :+1:

We are in the Tech/CS MVP program so the answer is, probably. It depends on what the Diablo CMs have to say to the TS/CS Community MVP lead. I assume it will be done, but that is not 100%.

I would hope so. Otherwise it will be a madhouse. No key, no access is normally what they do. It will be Open Access though on the second weekend. I assume they mean to let anyone post who is playing?

:woman_shrugging:

It will later, but not sure on the Open Beta once it is a free for all.

It can really suck to be Australian for game releases. Its always like a 3AM release time. Wish it was at a better time for us for once.

NVM, i need to learn how to read.

If we’re talking about post release forum yes but I hope you don’t mean to forbid players in Open Beta to share feedback as well.

D2R starts each ladder at 2 AM in EU at my place lol.
