Reaper of Souls beta – Book of Jen

The End of the Reaper of Souls Beta

This is the final blog in my series about the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls beta. I am happy that I was able to experience it. My only regret is that it took me so long to finish blogging about it. I’m trying to get quicker at blogging video game stuff.

In the previous blog, Joan the Crusader had hit Level 28. She never made it to Level 29. The RoS beta closed really abruptly. The screenshots you see in this blog were taken on February 24, 2014.

RoS Beta – Level 28: More Stash Space!

This blog is part of the series I have been writing about my experiences in the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls beta. The beta ended months ago, but I’m not done blogging about it. These blogs are my way of sharing my thoughts and experiences about the Diablo III Reaper of Souls beta. It was an honor to be included in the beta, and something that I want to remember.

I was playing a female Crusader (whom I named Joan). In the previous blog, Joan the Crusader hit Level 27. This blog will showcase her adventure as she went from Level 27 to Level 28. The screenshots that you see here were taken on February 24, 2014.

RoS Beta – Level 27: Shrine of Rakanishu Event

This blog is part of the series about my experiences in the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Beta. The beta has been over and done with for months now, and I will be done blogging about it soon. These blogs are my way of sharing my thoughts about the game as I played through the RoS beta. Looking back, I wish I did this type of blogging for the original Diablo III beta (but that just wasn’t possible for me at the time).

In my previous blog, my Crusader, Joan, hit level 26. This blog will feature her adventure as she went from Level 26 to Level 27. The screenshots you see in this blog were taken on February 24, 2014.

RoS Beta – Level 26: Changes to Griswold’s Scribblings

This blog is part of the series about my experiences in the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls beta. The beta has been over for a long time now, but I’m not done blogging about it. These blogs are my way of sharing my thoughts about the game as I was playing through the beta. I’ve no idea if I will get into the next Diablo III beta (or if there will even be one) so I may as well blog this one well.

In my previous blog, my Crusader, Joan, hit Level 25. This blog will feature her adventure as she went from Level 25 to Level 26. Some of the screenshots that you see in this blog were taken on January 24, 2014. The rest were taken on February 24, 2014. (I must have been waiting for a new monitor to game on!)

RoS Beta – Level 25: I Need an Icon

This blog is part of my series about my experience in the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls beta. The beta is over, and the expansion has been out for a little while now. I still have things that I wanted to share about it, so I may as well finish the series.

In my previous blog, my Crusader, Joan had just hit Level 24. This blog will feature her adventure as she went from Level 24 to Level 25.

Unfortunately, my computer monitor died while Joan the Crusader was working her way through Level 23. As such, the screenshots from that point onward were taken while I was using a really old monitor. They are square, and everything is squished together on the screen. The things one must do in order to keep playing a beta! The screenshots you see in this blog were taken on January 24, 2014.

RoS Beta – Level 24: The Crusader Likes the Enchantress

This blog is part of my series about my experiences in the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls beta. The beta has been over for quite a while. I still have things that I want to share about it, so I am going to. At least some (if not all) of my blogs about the RoS beta can be used as a little “tutorial” for players who are brand new to the game. I’ve only got a few more RoS beta blogs to go, and then I can move on to blogs about the expansion.

In the previous blog, my Crusader, Joan, had just hit Level 23. This blog continues with her adventure from Level 23 to Level 24. Many of the screenshots that you see in this blog were taken on January 11, 2014. The rest were taken on January 24, 2014.

RoS Beta – Level 22: The Butcher Drops a Legendary

This blog is part of my series about my experience in the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls beta. The beta has been over and done with for quite some time. I’m not quite ready to start blogging about the expansion, and I have plenty of screenshots from the beta that haven’t yet made it into a blog. I still have things that I want to say about my impressions of the game in its beta form.

When I left off, my female Crusader, Joan, had just hit Level 21. This blog gives the details of her adventures from Level 21 to Level 22. I’m certain that I didn’t make it to Level 30 before the beta abruptly ended, so there will only be a few more blogs in this series. The screenshots you see in this blog were taken on January 11, 2014.

RoS Beta – Level 21: A Stranger in Need

This blog is part of my series about my experience in the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls beta. Obviously, the beta is over and the RoS expansion has been released now. I’m not quite ready to start blogging about the expansion. For me, it is too soon, and I don’t want to accidentally blog any “spoilers”. This gives me time to go ahead and finish up blogging about my thoughts as I was playing the RoS beta.

I was playing a female Crusader named Joan. In the previous blog, Joan the Crusader hit Level 20. She was somewhere inside what I think of as “Leoric’s torture chamber” – my least favorite part of the game. This blog is about her adventure from Level 20 to Level 21. Most of the screenshots you see here were taken on January 10, 2014. Some of the later ones were taken on January 11, 2014. The clock flipped over from one day to the next while I was playing.

RoS Beta – Level 20: The Halls of Agony

This blog is part of my series about my thoughts and impressions of the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls beta. The beta is over, but I still think it is worth it to take the time to blog about it. Doing so gives me the opportunity to share what I was thinking as I was playing through the beta. As I have been writing this series, I realized that part of what I am doing is making a brief “tutorial” of sorts, that might be helpful to people who didn’t play Diablo III, but are going to be jumping into the Diablo III: Reaper of Souls expansion.

I was playing a Crusader that I named Joan. In the previous blog, Joan hit Level 19. This blog is about her adventure from Level 19 to Level 20. The screenshots that you see here were taken on January 4, 2014.

RoS Beta – Level 19: Karyna’s Lost Wagon

This blog is part of my series about my experiences in the Diablo III: RoS beta. The beta has ended, but I still wanted to share my thoughts about it. Who knows? Maybe one or two of the things I write about for this series will end up being really relevant after the expansion comes out. If anything, I think my blogs about the beta are a good way for new players to get some information about the game.

I was playing a Crusader named Joan. The last blog ended with her hitting Level 18. This blog picks up from there and shares her adventure from Level 18 to Level 19. All of the screenshots you see in this blog were taken on January 4, 2014.
