no. the game has so many missing elements and flaws that blizzard
should have seen. i dont know what the hell they released a beta for.
if you ask me the game is incomplete. its still fun to play but not
worth $40. i was fortunate enough to be able to purchase it for $10.76
after using a coupon. i would have been very reluctant to buy it
otherwise. btw, dont plan on making any changes to your pc after you
install the game. if you add, change, or remove any hardware, the
system-specific encryption used for saved characters will fail and you
have to start all over again.
