The awesome Notsorry helped me get beta, so played trough 20 times or so, so far, it gets more interesting the more I think and study it, said before, beta way to easy and short to get a good outline. Can't captivate a passionate gamer right out the bat, my heart was lost the first few months of SC1, so nothing's come close, but it has potential, it really does lol.
Really like the feature that wherever you have the arrow on the map, some spells are directed, that's really awesome. So if you're walking, facing one direction, a mob jumps up behind you, you can instantly jump on him, drag him over, gives some fps, reaction type feeling to it.

I made this list, maybe I'm missing some. Please add if you can think of someone I missed. A few of them like Stats, I don't want to write all of the stats, so just wrapping them all into one. And the class specific ones is also in one affix.
* Bonus to regen in class specific Resources. (Hatred, Disipline, Arcane Power, Fury, Mana and Spirit).
* Each Hit Adds +X Life.
* +X% Extra Gold From Monsters.
* Health Globes Grant +X Life.
* + X Maximum Resources (Mana, Fury, Hatred, Disipline, Arcane Power, Spirit).
The idea by just writing them down was to ask more questions. Which stats are preferable to some classes?
Which are preferable/better when leveling, which matters when it's Hell towards Inferno, max level? (The most obvious one is + Experience, but that one will be useless at max level, it probably won't be on any 60 items, at least that'd make a lot of sense lol).
How large must the numbers be for an affix to change and become better than another? Which stats scales the most with gear? Why does it scale better, explain plx!!
How does the damage affixes work, I know that in Diablo 2 lighting would always have the most variance, like 1 - 75 Lightning, and Fire would have highest low end damage, Frost would have lowest, but it would slow/freeze monsters. In Diablo 3 that's not the case, like on the yellow Bow, it's 2-4 Holy/Poison/Lightning/Fire/Cold. Not sure what they do, don't see anything extra, except that monsters have a burning thingy on them when they die with fire for instance. (No dot or extra fire damage though)
Also wondering which extra/new affixes there will be on release, is the Faster cast rate gone? Or is that Increases Attack Speed?
I've played around 30 hours in the Beta so far, and you can go in some option to see what classes you've played the most.
My favourites in the beta is:
Demon Hunter, Wizard, Barbar, Monk then Witch Doctor in the last place. And I feel that's fairly accurate on how I feel. Barbar might be cooler than Wizard too, but I have kin to magey like characters so I'm a little biased.
Witch Doctor seem slowest, and to much mobs around, feels boring, you're just limping behind.
Monk seem cool but in whatever close combat, Barbar seem a little more fun, more "Roarr, smash, crush, yay". And stuff.
Wizard will get Teleport!!!!!!!!
Demon hunter got so many tools, can kite, u can stutter step, it's so awesome, and you can "Vault" like a mini blink, and you can do so you sprint a few sec after the "blink" so it's fast and fluid, also seem to be the char to go if you want it to go faster, and you've got add.

Yea demon hunter allows for the most active play style with a very mobile toolkit
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
It's just a personal preference, it might be a real hoot, but my add is severe, if I can't sprint, teleport around every 5 sec I go nuts lol. Also think it's a bit unfair all classes got several speed increase traits, but the WD got none.
By looking at the skill calculator thingy, it looks like WD will prolly be highest damage in the game though, spread out that DOT, then have pets, then go at it nuking.
Yeah it does look like a flat fee, so that probably ruins that site. Cuz what incentive is there for a Buyer to use that site if the ingame auction house doesn't have a sales commission and has a small flat fee. The Buyer won't get significantly lower prices. But I've gotten conflicting reports on what the fee is and if there is a sales commission, guess we'll see at release..
btw
YO, can people under 18 use the real money auction house? they will be like a restricted serf class if not, being paid in useless gold while the aristocracy that is the 18+'s makes cash. sick.
tldr; under 18s will be ingame mexicans
also what protections do honest market participants have from Blizzard employees using their 100% knowledge of the economy in their favor? They know the exact drop rates of items, how many monsters are killed, they will have true & perfect knowledge regarding the scarcity of every resource and item in the game. Seems like an opportunity for an insider to make a lot of money.
