Satan’s ready to start sending invites to Diablo 3.

Sept. 20 was the start of the beta key invitations being sent out to all the hopefuls that are either signed up for the beta test or have received codes through other means i.e: game promotions.

Diablo 3 will have multiple classes to choose from and a different story for each choice. You can play through with characters like a wizard, barbarian, or even a witch doctor.

Campaign mode has added many new features from Diablo II. To start with, you may choose from multiple classes: barbarian, demon hunter, monk, witch doctor, and wizard. All of these classes have completely different play styles; you have the classic melee fighters, magic users, tech, and healers. Melee fighters focus on fighting the hand to hand with the enemies, magic users use magic to fight from afar along with tech fighters, and healers make sure the party has enough hit points to survive.

Not only does Diablo contain a fun filled campaign mode, but it also has multiple co-op modes, as well as PVP. Players can call upon friends on their friends list to join them in co-op multiplayer mode, open public mode which is a mode where random players can join you to play cooperatively, and finally, you can enjoy PVP in the PVP Arena mode, battling against the most skilled – and sometimes unskilled – players. The social aspect of Diablo 3 is easy and intuitive; Blizzard has done a good job in integrating all of their games into one social interface. You can message friends from other games if you have liked them by game ID, which can prove to be helpful when getting a party together.

One of the best improvements in Diablo 3 is the auction house. Whether you find some random piece of equipment in a dungeon somewhere that you can’t use, or trade a player for a nice profit, using the auction house to sell items can be done with ease. The user interface is easy to understand and is very standard. Different tabs allow players to search, bid, sell or view their completed items. There are equipment tabs, character, gems, crafting & dyes, tomes & pages, and gold.

Some of the most recent posts by Blizzard have alluded to the release of Diablo 3 being sometime during the first quarter of 2012. Fans have been waiting almost a decade for this game and with its release date being so close, fans are gathered waiting for a taste or a perhaps a weekend beta of this game.
