I don't think so... I do have a nearly capped bnet balance from RMAH. I feel dumb paying for boosters I can get without paying though.

Blizzard balance should be able to (if it doesn't already) be used for any Blizzard purchase in their store, for game time, etc.

I sure would love to get into the HS beta, but I'm pretty sure my wife wants to as well, so we'll just wait it out. It's a card game, so beta can't take that long... even if it's Blizzard... right? Right?

Fine.. I'll play it on release in 2027.

On another note, Gamescom starts today! Supposedly a big Diablo announcement this week! Hooray!

I'm in the small minority that doesn't think D3 is/was bad. But I do think it could be better, and I think that once Jay Wilson GTFO things started on the upswing.

D2 was good as well, but wasn't truly great until several patches in.

D3 was a disgrace to the franchise lol. I played d2 for 10 years and get upset everytime I think of everything wrong with d3. The RMAH needs to go for this game to stand a chance.

Well, like I said, I'm a vocal minority, but I'm no noob to the series. I've been playing for.. what is it 16, 17 years now? Ever since the original was released. I still have my original Diablo 2 collector's edition box, complete with the AD&D game that was included still sealed, sitting around somewhere. When we used to decorate the house for halloween I'd pop in the D2 soundtrack. Goes very well with a halloween theme. I also saved the original Diablo box as well but lost it in a move. Oh well, still have the original disc.

IT'S HAPPENING!

Overview from Diablo 3 Incgamers

• The new class is the Crusader, a strength-based brawler. This sword and shield user is affiliated with the Diablo 2 Paladin and is described as a “mid-range melee” fighter. Video shows him using numerous flashy-graphic magical attacks, many of them Monk-like at a glance. The skills Shield Bash and Fist of Heavens were demonstrated during the press conference. Also Shield Flare, which can be used to blind your enemies. The Crusader is playable in the Gamescom demo!
• The Archangel Malthael is the main villain of the expansion. Returned from the void as the Reaper of Souls, with his wings turned skeletal. Malthael wants to end the Eternal Conflict by destroying all demons and he’s not fond of humans either. He can turn the dead against the living.
• The Expansion is set largely in Westmarch, an area not too distant from Tristram. It’s described as very gothic in design and levels in the streets of Westmarch and in the Temple of the Zakarum are being shown. These areas will be playable in the demo at the Gamescom event, so fans will get to see it and we’ll have video shortly.
• RoS adds many new forms of the End Game, with changes to the Paragon system and new types of loot runs.
• Max level is raised to 70. New skills and runes for all classes.
• Paragon 2.0: Paragon going account wide, so all chars will benefit. No longer a cap on max Paragon. Unknown how this will affect max Magic Find and Gold Find.
• Loot 2.0: Fewer total items will drop, but they’ll be of better quality, much as the console is promising. Josh Mosqueira gave a hypothetical example of drop changes: D3C sample drops: 256 white, 399 blue, 275 yellow, 1 legendary. D3X sample drops: 73 white, 266 blue, 83 yellow, but some Smart Drops. And 6 legendaries, which will be build-changers.
• A new item feature is “Smart Drops,” items that will drop with stats tailored to the class you are playing.
• Enchanting will allow you to reroll an affix on a Legendary or Rare item via the Mystic.
• A new Artisan will allow you to transmogrify your items, as detailed in a recent blue post.
• Loot runs are shorter dungeons, 15-20 minutes and completely randomized.
• It’s due for release in 2014.

still sounds dumb, smart drops are lame. What they need is to not try and change a tried and true system of set item values with ranges. RNG is a good thing, too much RNG where you never get anything of use to anyone is a bad thing.
