Blizzard: Nothing new to announce
We were disappointed.
Now at Gamescom, Blizzard anticipates we expect a beta announcement.
We actually do expect it.
Blizzard doesn't want us disappointed again, so they say they won't have anything new to avoid it.
Why go through so much trouble, of writing nothing is happening?
There was NO rumour, before Blizz SAID there was...they are trolling hard my friend..
...
"Seriously, nothing is happening at Rudolfplatz from the evening of August 16 — especially nothing to do with demonic invasions. "
Why not just say.. ok nothing to see here... instead of saying.. NOTHING IS HAPPENING ::: HINT HINT..at the EVENING.. of august 16th at a specific place... ESPECIALLY NOT DEMONIC INVASIONS (D3) WINK WINK..
don't u get it?
Why say ANYTHING about august 16th.. there isn't even a scheduele for anything there... and no rumours before blizz said this... why would they say anything?
That's nothing close to trouble, watch: "Nothing is happening". See? It wasn't any trouble at all.
You are either being a hypocrite or just doesn't follow any Diablo community enough. Just after Aug 3 there were LOTS of posts commenting about the beta being announced in gamescon. There was a rumor, and a big one.
So... You would like for a invitational flyer to have the words "Guys, the beta is not being announced in this event, ok?". They just made some exciting words up to say the obvious.
I don't get all this misdirection thinking. If there was just the message you guys quoted, ok, you could think it was a misdirection. But there was a Blue post commenting on this saying explicitly that NOTHING IS HAPPENING, and THIS IS PRETTY CLEAR. Gamescon isn't even that important for Blizzard. I still think they will announce the beta just before Blizzcon or even delay it to announce it right there.
This is tearing us apart! Lol I am going to feel like such a jackass if nothing new comes out. Though people saying the beta will be announced at gamescom is mere speculation not really a rumor, but than again I guess they can go hand in hand.
2- They could have lied/changed their mind about what version of the game will be playable at gamescom.
3- The date. Why mention the date before the event?
This leads me to believe SOMETHING will happen. I desperately want at least a beta start date announcement, but I don't expect it (pleasebeitpleasebeitpleasebeitpleasebeit).
It could just mean that they will show the beta/retail game cinematic. As we know there are demons rampaging a field with angels falling from the sky to stop them.... "demonic invasion"
why they say 16 august if blizzards activities at gamescom are 18-21 August :uglyface:
Gamescom actually starts on the 17th. so the evening of the 16th(read, midnight) could be the lift of some internal NDA of sorts that means they will post something on their site at that time. Beta maybe, system reveal maybe, who knows, but i expect something at the very least.
Without fully reading through this, has anyone else thought that maybe they will in-fact release a beta date? Just to steal torchlight 2's glory since anyone who's been following that game even a tad bit knows that there last class is going to be revealed at Gamescon and even possibly a release date.
I think it will be something, but I'm leaning away from a beta announcement. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we know that the beta will be starting off in NA only? Wouldn't it be sort of counter-intuitive to announce "Hey beta is this date... but not for most of you!"
As a side note, any rumors you may have heard about a gateto Diablo’s Burning Hells opening in Cologne are completely unfounded. Seriously, nothing is happening at Rudolfplatz from the evening of August 16 — especially nothing to do with demonic invasions.
"Soon" means nothing when coming from a blizzard employee.
Why is Blizzard even going to Gamescon? I figured they'd have the same mentality about Gamescon as E3. Unless they were going to do a big reveal ! (sarcasm) But in all seriousness, they do tend to lie about big announcements, to further make the announcement more of a surprise.
They announce the beta start date on Monday, the 15th, and it starts the next day, on the 16th. Nothing is happening in Rudolfplatz because the beta takes place in NA first, not in Europe. Seriously, nothing is happening there.
Blizzard are genius's. A few sentences and the whole Diablo 3 community is going berserk and because of that fact I think they will reveal something......OFCOURSE THEY KNEW THAT WHAT THEY SAID WOULD START A RIOT!!!.....so you just gotta ask yourself why?

Nothing will happen at Gamescon, guys. D3 beta will be towards the end of September. Release will be early 2012. No big deal. We've waited this long.

I don't think it can get any clearer.

I for one, am shocked at this news.

Obviously, its an Angelic Invasion!

Getting back at Runic?
Something like Inferno reveal seems more like it.
"Soon" means nothing when coming from a blizzard employee.
Every die hard DIablo fan is hanging on every word the devs say - and they know it.
