Just saw D3 for preorder in a major entertainment store here in Belgium. Release date: februari 28. Normally I'd dismiss this right away, but usually these guys are pretty reliable in those things. It may still be a trick to get the most preorders first, but.. sign of announcement?
I'd find it weird that the release date would only be announced a couple of weeks in advance though.
Haha I double checked and they already changed it to april. This kind of behavior shows me that they don't have a clue yet, so I wouldn't expect a release very soon :/

Yeah, we can't trust any store's release date. We have to get the official one from Blizzard first.
I think what complicates things is that stores will be watching each other. For major releases, they'll all try to gather as many pre-orders as possible. So if one store starts allowing pre-orders, they basically have no choice but to follow suit. Add in local regulations, and the date guessing game begins :/
wait wtf? they are making a new SKILL system? i thought they were just working on how runes dropped n shit....? wtffffff
Sad but true.
no wonder its been taking so long.... i REALLY hope they dont fuk it up because i love the skill system the way it is....
I know me too. I hope either we are miss reading them (because Bash said they are tied together, so maybe he really did just mean runes) or if they change it, it isn't too drastic. I've come to love the skill system just the way it is, and was under the impression most people liked it? Hopefully they are just changing runes, and maybe a slight skill tweak is required to make both effective.

my sentiments exactly. *crosses fingers*. id say by the end of next week we will have the new "skill system" in the beta or at the very least a write up of what it is.

I just went through his tweets again. No where does he say the skills system is being completely revamped =D He does say the rune system is, and then people ask about skills and he says they are linked. The only other tweet about it would be when he says something along the lines of 'a small tweak' for skills. So I really don't think they are being redone, instead this leads me to believe what I said earlier; They just need to slightly adjust for whatever reason, to make the runesystem work =D

this makes me believe they did more then just "tweak" the skill system for the demon hunter. bleh...
Shitty. I'm trying to come up with an excuse as to why 'new skill system in beta?' And 'it will appear in beta' doesn't mean what it sounds like >< You know what, I'm going in this with open arms. I'm going to completely fanboy it up, and say I trust in Blizzard that they know what's awesome. Hell maybe I'll hate the current system after I see the new one =D I mean for instance, I would have played the shit out of the 2008 D3, but after seeing the current version, I can't go back =P
Edit: On a complete sidenote Gladhehasbeta, your barb build confuses me =) You have no straight fury generator that you can spam if you don't crit, since your other's have a CD. Just saying =D

Oh man. If they revert back to damn skill trees ima rage =P Yea I'm hoping it's just a power switch ya know, numbers. Hopefully

yea def. they had skill trees awhile ago but i never like them in any game... i loved this new no skill points system with runes. even though alot of people raged about it i think its revolutionary!
about my build: thats the point, the 29% crit is just starting out. i plan on getting another 21% from my gear to make it an even 50% so at least every other attack will crit, and when Weapon throw crits it returns double fury to do it 2 more times because of no escape passive. also when i user overpower i get another 17% crit for a few seconds as well. So i just need my initial fury and then as long as im attacking ill basically have never ending fury. or at the very least itll last long enough until my CD's are done.

Ah gotcha. Yea I've never been a fan of skill trees, they were just like a necessary evil.
If I may be so bold, I'm not sure what our crit will be at in inferno =P It might just stay the same, but IMO I would change your ancient spear to maybe bash with the rune that stacks extra damage to like 40% or something =P But hell for all i know it'l work =)
