Diablo 4 Beta Signup Clarifications

Recommended Posts

There's been some confusion today over the beta signup for Diablo 4, with community manager Nevalistis adding to the confusion with some out-dated info. It all started with a reddit post stating that the D4 beta signups are "now" open, with an immediate reply adding that they've been open since the game's reveal back at BlizzCon. Both of these were right and wrong, as there actually are no beta signups available at the moment, but in came Nevalistis to try and (incorrectly) clarify:

Accurate. More info about Blizzard Betas in general here.

Though if you haven't gone and opted in for Diablo beta opportunities, I highly encourage everyone to do so. A lot of folks forget to do it at announce and opt in after Beta has started. While it's not really a first come, first serve situation, opting in after Beta started pretty much ensures you aren't getting in for the first wave (since we don't know you're interested).

So it's a good reminder.

Luckily reddittor BradXeno cleared things up for everyone, before the signup button on the D4 site exploded, clarifying that there are no more general opt-ins and they are now per-game, meaning the Diablo 4 one didn't actually exist yet - the one on the official D4 site is actually just for the newsletter! Nevalistis confirmed this soon after:

Beta opt in was changed to be per game last year wasn't it? The account/franchise beta opt in page is gone and now opt ins are added to the game pages individually at some point.

Can look over at WoW : Shadowlands for an example.

My guess is that's why OP thought that is what this was.
 

Ah, you're right. The process has changed significantly since the last beta I worked on (which was Rise of the Necromancer).

This is, indeed, to sign up for the newsletter and any additional information we might release, including when beta sign-ups go live.

So if you read about this and immediately got your hopes up that this indicated the game was closer than we thought... sorry. The only information we have about the release date or beta date is still that it's not even Blizzard soon, with a whole lot of individual speculation going around the community (I believe the general best (optimistic) bet at the moment is 2022).

If you're really hurting for some Diablo 4 action (as I am) you can re-read and go over everything we know about the game or one of the many gameplay videos or articles on it (which you can pick from below). Or if you really want to delve deep, head on over to r/diablo and post your suggestions for the game, as the devs are sure to see them as community feedback seems to be one of the most important things to the at the moment.

      Here's another quick loot luck post, as some players just have it and then some. We've seen double Uniques from a single Treasure Goblin already, but this is even more extreme. Millertiimme took down Ashava and managed to get a triple Ancestral Unique drop! While we don't know exactly what the boots, ring and gloves were, they were definitely welcome!
      What has been some of your best loot luck so far?

      There's persistence and then there's... persistence. MrFrodoBeggins certainly shows the latter as he not only completed 1270 cellars in 3 days, but also documented his loot, locations, experience gained, Treasure Goblins found, Obols acquired, Butchers encountered and more!

      So let's take a look at this huge breakdown of a very large mount of cellar clears, separated into the game's zones. You should definitely read the whole thing below, but here are some highlights:

      3 Butcher run-ins 21 Treasure Goblins (7 packs of 3, as that's how they spawn in Cellars) 6352 Obols 13 Uniques 200 Legendaries 82,693,064 XP (taking them from level 84 to 89) Around 80,000,000 gold
      MrFrodoBeggins' conclusion is that Cellars are very much not worth it and actively slow you down. The main takeaway from this experience has been... that there isn't enough variety in loading screens. Which makes a lot of sense if you look through 2540+ of them in 3 days. Here are his (not too serious) suggestions:

      The character has a terribly small collection radius, you need to walk the character directly on grass, ore, gold ....... to collect! Dropping some currency and things from mobs is terribly long, maybe if it's 1-2 things you can put up with, but when hundreds and thousands of times it's very annoying... I have seen sooo many loading screens, the drawings are very beautiful and interesting, maybe you will organize a competition among artists and make hundreds of different drawings on the theme of Diablo 4, and give them your 1.5 seconds of fame. I think that over time, all people will get tired of the same thing, even beautiful.
      Obviously we can't confirm these number as it's an individual player's findings, but we see no reason they'd be fabricated.

      And there we have it! All of the ultra-rare/chase items have been found and confirmed with images or video! The final piece was the Melted Heart of Selig necklace and it dropped earlier today.

      Spotted by AnyComputer, a Necromancer player had the item drop in Blind Burrows, and AnyComputer even translated it for us!

      Source: Melted Heart of Selig dropped today.

      This one isn't one of the more wanted ultra-rares, which may also be the reason why we've seen it last. Many players may have just salvaged it without even knowing it was something special, as it's effect isn't that impressive.

      As we already mentioned in previous posts, these almost certainly aren't the first ones dropped and there are many more than have been reported out there (just without image or video proof) so their rarity is a little over-represented. They are still very rare, however, and most of us probably won't be seeing them any time soon.

      The final 5 arrived in the past week after Harlequin's Crest was found relatively soon after launch. You can find them here: Andariel's Visage; The Grandfather; Doombringer; Ring of Starless Skies. If you really really want to throw a lot of time into maybe, possibly, probably not getting these, here are the spots for "farm" them in.

      Here they all are in all their glory:

      We've seen them run as soon as you engage them, we've seen them drop two Uniques at the same time, but this, this is something new. I suppose it was only a matter of time before the treasure carrying ones took their sweet sweet revenge. A high level Hardcore player had a very rude awakening recently after dropping their guard around the little ones. The goblin didn't have any assistance, was the only thing in the room, and yet it still got the kill.
      Killthuzad was running a tier 37 Nightmare Dungeon and really showcases just how easy it is to lose a character on Hardcore.


      Death Pulse does say that the pulse a monster leaves after death is "deadly", but this is on a whole new level! The goblin was level 91, however, so perhaps this isn't that surprising, but it sure was unexpected. Killthuzad's reaction is very much on point as that is definitely the weirdest way I've seen of someone losing their character.
      If you want to see the rest of the death reaction you can head over here.

      Here's another report on one of the rarest Unique drops in the game! A player has received The Grandfather, the crit damage heaven two handed sword. Dropped from an event chest during a Helltide, it's sporting solid rolls, multiplying all the player's crit damage by 84%!
      The player sharing the image is level 76, but the player being inspected is level 100, so they may have had it for quite a while already.
      This isn't necessarily (or even likely) the first of these that has dropped, but we haven't spotted anyone posting about it before. Now all that's left for that player is to get ANOTHER one with a better roll! Here's the weapon's non-Chinese stats:




      Blizzard recently shared some information on the 6 ultra-rare Uniques and how they can drop. We also saw a handy infographic going over where the best place is to farm for them over here.
