Diablo 3 Beta Ends Tomorrow Morning

Posted 30 April 2012 by Nizaris

For all of those who are wondering when the Diablo III beta is ending, a specific time has been announced for when the servers will be shut off for good until May 15th arrives. We will have until 3AM PDT to get our last fill of Diablo 3. If you haven’t killed King Leoric enough by now, this means you probably have enough time to do a fair amount of runs until time runs out.

As a reminder for all beta participants, the Diablo III closed beta will officially end tomorrow morning (May 1) at 3:00 a.m. PDT. At that time, beta servers will no longer be available for play.

Thank you so much for your insight and feedback during this critical stage of Diablo III’s development. We look forward to seeing you online — or at one of our midnight launch events — on May 15!




With the #D3 beta ending tonight at 3am, what do you plan to do for the two weeks leading to May 15? #FeelsLikeanEternity

So, what will the community be doing in the 2 weeks leading up to release?

  • Finishing my essay on game narrative, delivering a lecture at a university, finals, crying, and waiting for the GW2 beta to go back up. Not necessarily in that order. YMMV.

    • Tera > GW2

      • Time for a Diablo 2 hardcore ladder run for one last hurrah :D
         
        Should be a fun stream when we do it.

      • So I hear but I frankly don’t give a damn about Tera. I play and enjoy GW2 already.

        • looked at tera, it’s rated mature but has some of the most childish crap i’ve ever seen even on a nintendo. tera=way too pedofag.

  • Whatever we do every night, Pinky.

  • Get a new motherboard in my computer so I can run D3 on release day.

  • Start a new HC Necro on D2 USEast and probably just fritter the time away until the 15th, maybe mix in some BF3

  • Giving Diablo II one last run through before beginning a new chapter in the world of Sanctuary.

  • already removed beta from my pc, wanted about a month inbetween.

    as for the next 2 weeks? well for starters i have the avengers to watch, several times.  of course thats not til friday

    also got

    skyrim
    finish up chores
    visit friends and let them know i will be leaving town for a couple weeks
    basketball

    thats about it

    • The beta client is the same as the release client fyi…so uninstalling it is just going to cost you time later :)

      • Not true sadly :( (at least I think!)

          Xeodus is right here. You can throw the Beta client into the Trash. Diablo III and Diablo III beta are completely different clients. Source: Everywhere.

          • In fact, Bliz tech support has recommended that you uninstall the beta before you start with the real game. In case b.net or other files overwrite or become redundant.  As touchy as the B.net launcher has been during the beta, I’m clearing everything of the beta off my machine. I wouldn’t take any chances on my full game install having problems.

  • Gaming-wise, nothing really. I’ll be finishing up my studies and all of the real-world responsibilities in preperation of release. Aside from that, I’ll mostly watch StarCraft 2 streams and videos, and chill, resting and preparing for lauch.

  • Give the time remaining to other games in my “to be played” list. Clean my apartment so I won’t have to for a few weeks after launch, do outside activities to counteract the amount of indoors I’ll be seeing come the 15th.

  • dying… slowly

  • uninstalled and waiting for the real thing :mrgreen:
    Its going to be a long 2 weeks !
