Computer games: Diablo III

After the stunning success of the game Diablo II fromBlizzard Entertainment became clear that without continuing it is not enough. For more than ten years, fans have been waiting for when it will finally be possible to return to the world of Sanctuary and continue the fight against the forces of Hell. And, it seems, it's not too long to wait. After all Blizzard announced the beginning of beta testing of the game.

The main difference between the game Diablo III and the previous part is the three-dimensional graphics, which is based on a new engine. It was specifically designed for Blizzard projects. Radical changes in the gameplay is not foreseen, new solutions in the interface will mainly be aimed at facilitating the management, so that the player can fully concentrate on the game process. The developers have focused on the team game and the plot.

The plot of the third part of the game unfolds twenty years after the events,described in the Lord of Destruction, an addition to the previous part of the game. As in the previous section, history is divided into actions. Each action will be led by its own city with unique tasks and characters.

At the moment it is known that in the game Diablo III will be five classes of characters: Wizard (Sorcerer), Sorcerer (Shaman), Hunter of thedemons, the Barbarian and the Monk. Each of them has its own history, unique skills, strengths and weaknesses. Pleasant bonus - the ability to choose the gender of the character (in previous parts it was clearly fixed, for example, Assassin could only be female, and Necromancer - only male).

Will be introduced and new monsters (ordinary, unique, mini-bosses and boss bosses), as well as new non-player characters (NPC). But in Diablo III it will be possible to meet with well-known characters, for example, Deckard Cain (it seems that Diablo players will never be able to get rid of him) and Asheara.

But the main emphasis, as already mentioned, the developers of Diablo III will do on the team game. That is why Battle.net Platform, used for multiplayer games, was radically redesignedto provide players with new opportunities. But the single player mode will not go anywhere.

Diablo III: Beta Testing

At the moment the game is in the closed beta stage. Invitations to participate in the testing weresent out to players from among those who have an account on Battle.net, and who in the settings of their account have expressed a desire to participate in beta testing.

Players were selected based on the configuration of their PCs and other factors (including luck factor). The goal of the developers was, among other things, to test as many configurations as possible and choose the optimal system requirements (by the way, they promise that in Diablo III they will not be sky-high, and gamers will not have to quickly update the "hardware").

The first wave of beta testers has already received their invitations, but Blizzard plans involve more players in testing, including during a variety of actions on the sites of the developer and official fan sites (drawings and distribution of beta keys). The number of beta testers will depend on the situation.

During the beta testing of Diablo III players will be able to go through the first part of the game and fight with the boss - The king-skeleton. All character classes will be available for the game. Players will be able to meet new and old NPCs, learn more about the abilities of heroes and the process of making things. In addition, in Diablo III there should be an auction of items, it can also be tested. But the PvP-arenas for fighting between players are not yet available. The beta version is only available in English, although Diablo III will have a multilingual interface.

And fans of the game, who could not become beta testers, remains wait for the end of testing and release of the final version of the game. The main thing is that this happens earlier than the announced end of the world in 2012.
