The Diablo III beta is currently undergoing maintenance as we prepare to deploy the next beta patch. We anticipate that downtime will last for about 8 to 9 hours, until approximately 8:00 p.m./9:00 p.m. PDT.

Please note that Beta Patch 16 will include a character wipe. As with previous character wipes, this wipe will also affect gold, achievements, items, followers, and artisans.

Thank you for your patience!

I feel sorry for all the ppl who bought stuff from me today

i stayed stuck with like 1200 essences and over 200k gold lol and just bought 2-4 dmg rins

Ouch, they didnt have any release saying character wipe was coming like 24 ahead of time? =/ Guess you can just do it again

yeah i wish they would do that, a 24 hour advance so we can do all the crafting we want to try out before we loose our essences

just a shame that i didn't got rid of my 21 dps warden bow and these sweet boots fast enough

Why do people spend fg on it in the first place? They know the beta is only temporary, don't they?

its still a way to test builds, when the game goes live , ppl will know what and what not to buy or what scales best in comparison to their current eq.

i really don't understand why these are worth so much ^^ god i hate not being able to play the beta >.>

gf to those that spent fg on temp items
