Bashiok did say we would not be disappointed with it so that probably means some relatively large news/revelations. I also hope they give some info on when this D2 patch will be released and what content it will contain.

You must find the courage to step through this gate...

Relatively large news to these people is a new piece of concept art. I guess you could say I have my fingers crossed while keeping my hopes pretty low.
I think it will just be a nice long conversation about all the systems we already know about. Nothing completely new will be announced, Blizzard will savor those opportunities and probably won't waste them on a Blizzcast.
As far as the release date goes, there's no way they'll even get close to saying anything about it. Realistically no one should expect this game to be released any sooner than June 2010. It'll either be released in the summer time, October = Halloween, or November/December = Christmas time. Even if they get the game done a little sooner they'll take the extra time to release during one of these seasons.
We haven't even heard any talk of Beta... Now that would be something nice to hear about, when they are planning to start Beta Trials.
We'll see, but much like many others have guessed, anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt since this Blizzcast is so close to April first, Blizzard sure loves to mess with us geeks.

True on most points. It's not unrealistic to think the game will be released before your projected date though, having said that I don't think they'll even mention anything about it with this new BlizzCast. Beta trails would be great even though I'm not going to Blizzard HQ to play it, I'm sure a lot of info would leak because of it. More importantly and much less realistically I'd like a downloadable demo of the first act or even just a few quests in the first act to get a feel for the new characters pre-release.
I agree there's always a chance for a slightly earlier release date, but I prefer to plan for the worst case scenario. If it gets released sooner than I anticipated then that's just gravy.
If it is going to end up being released sometime around Q4 2010 that is roughly 2 years after the announcement, which is not out of the realm of possibility for Blizzard. And as many others have said, I'd rather them take the extra time and make it as amazing as possible.
I just hope that the new iMac's will be able to run it well enough. I'm thinking about getting one in hopes of playing Diablo 3 on its lucious 24' screen.
I really don't think so... only because they still have 2 classes to announce and they will only do that during large events. E3 is in June but I really don't think that Blizzard will announce a class at E3 and Blizzcon.
Most likely Blizzard will just have a booth set up at E3 and wait till Blizzcon to announce the next class. There will be a new video, and they will take the next couple months to release info about that class.
Then probably 6-8 months before the release they will announce the final class along with Beta info and possibly a final release date. But that might even be a bit of wishful thinking.

Yea you are probably right.... But still i really want d3 out in 09.09.09 cuz its sooner than 2010
Yea and they said that the testing might take time as the making of the game took... etc...
lol Just thinking here and is kinda funny but what if they only give us two more screen shots and a new demon pic with 4 new art photos all from the same blizzcon demo in 2008 lol. I think that would pissed a few of us off but is kinda funny as well.

If thats the case I wont bother listening to it.

But yeah, you're probably right about no major news. I'm still hoping though.

That's how confident I am that it's not coming out this year.
