I have been a firm supporter of blizzard for a countless number of years. I have loved everything they've done for the world of gaming and the products they have released for our entertainment. However, the amount of time fans and supporters have waited for a new product is getting borderline outrageous. This conflict in Korea with the gaming board is obviously holding the game back. It's absolutely absurd for blizz and company to try and deny this fact and continue to string along the very people that make the company stay afloat and progress in the gaming industry. It's high tide that we (the little people) get recognized and get, at the very least, a date for release. This way we can have some semblance of peace knowing D3 is well on its way to making it to our hard dive. Give us what we want blizzard, stop jerking us around. I think we have endured enough.
I hear ya. I'll b honest I have not been a fan of diablo or any blizzard game for very long. Maybe a few months and it is already driving me nuts with this drama about the release or not to release. Can't imagine all u people who have been waiting since d2. U must b an inch away from blowing ur heads off hah. I hope it comes out Q1 like they said and not b pushed back. ALSO HOW DO U START A FORUM DISCUSSION???

If you've been a fan of Blizzard for a countless number of years then you know that Blizzard will never give out a release date unless they absolutely know when it's come out. If they were to give a release date and then have to delay it, that would piss people off more than not giving a release date. Once they announce the release date it'll be set, I can't think of the last time they had a specific release date and not delivered.
Well Q1 or early 2012. I just hope they don't push it back is what I'm trying to say. SERIOUSLY HOW DO U START A DISCUSSION?? I want to talk about what kind of mice r good for diablo??
i feel that most of the wining comes from kids who dont understand the economics of it.... hurry up to please fans and put out bad game = bad/slow sales now and for future releases.... make them wait a few months while we finish up everything we need to = impatient people now but once game comes out it flies off the shelves because you buy it, tell your friend how good it is so he buys it and his friend buys it etc... please just calm down.

Don't start a discussion with "Disappointment in Blizzard" as a title. Try "What are the chances Diablo III gets pushed back?" Or something that won't incite flames.
I am pretty disappointed in Blizzard as well. At first, I believed Bashiok's post about the game not being ready and he explained how they are adding new content. However, he contradicts his previous post every day. If the game was almost by the end of 2011, I don't see why it will need to take longer than Q1. Also, he states the game will be release by the end of Q1 then he said that it was a mistake and he meant early 2012. If the game was in its polishing period, it shouldn't take more than 2 or 3 months to release it but it seems more like they are still implementing new systems. Following his post on release and system updates, I expected a system to be implemented that is causing major delays. To me, it seems like the rune system is probably causing the most problem but in the end it is only a guess. If so, I agree with the delay because its such a intregal part of the game. I don't care about a release date but, at the very least, Bashiok should try his best not to contradict himself and explain why the game is delayed. Without an explanation, it is no wonder people believe it is the RMAH issue in South Korea. Even I find it suspicious the game is now being pushed to early 2012 after the GRB delayed its decision.
Way to QQ and not offer anything to actually talk about other than QQing about how life isn't fair and Blizzard should release games when you think they should.

Yup. Blizzard is the last bastion of hope in an industry increasingly giving into the crowd who seems to be obsessed with getting the same game once every year, and getting it right away. (Madden, Call of Duty, etc.)
I absolutely adore Skyrim, but Blizzard would never have released a game with some of those bugs, particularly the game breaking ones. (Helms that max your life at level 1, bugged sneak mechanics, and I could go on and on.)
I think Blizzard does an amazing job.
As for the comment that this time is just too much....
Well, you obviously HAVEN'T been playing Blizzard games for years. I remember Diablo II. I remember very distinctly WAITING for Diablo II. And that was a different animal altogether. There's a reason they don't announce things and often keep many of the iterations of game mechanics secret. And I think Diablo II's development really led to that.
omg... we get it. You guys are so disappointed in Blizzard...you've been a fan since Bashiok was born; you named your son Griswold; you've been waiting soooooooooooooo long for a release date, and if they don't announce a release date within the next 15 minutes, you're quitting all Blizzard games FOREVER.
Please shutup with it all. No one cares. They are developing the damn game, and they will release it when it's done. You're not special.
Delay all these D3 announcements say by months or years = less rage. I know it's impossible for hush hush these days but all these announcements over the last year has not helped the cause. I think they should have waited but that's me, I'm not PR or Marketing for Blizz, overall I just play other games and wait till it comes out.

Playing Diablo since 97. I know nothing and having nothing good to say, I be a troll.
I hope it comes out Q1 like they said and not b pushed back.
Let's repeat for the 1000th time: EARLY 2012. They have never said Q1.
Omg NO ONE SAYS EARLY IN A YEAR AND MEANS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS. Stop defending their ridiculousness. Early means Q1. period. No one says "yeah I'm gonna get on that early next year" and means anything but January/February, maybe March. In normal world "early" does not mean "anything pre-July." Stop defending them.
One side claims Blizzard is stupid because they communicated too much too early about the game.
The other side claims Blizzard is stupid because they don't communicate enough about the game.
I think it's best to assume that the truth lies in the middle ^^

I'm not defending anymore than you're hating. Early is not q1 specifically. Early can also be april and may.
I dunno, but I for one have always loved Blizzard's games, ever since I started playing. In my eyes, the games they develop is less something which I am entitled to have, and more a gift from Blizzard. And I'm not in the habit of demanding gifts from people.
I will get the gift when the time is right, and not before, and I am content to wait for it. Because they never fail to deliver.
