You folks have to remember the game was postponed numerous times.
If, in march, or april, or may, or june they decide to polish a slightly little bit more, it'll be Q3.
Tired of people saying this. There was never a specific quarter given.. Since last year its been "late 2011 / early 2012".. I dont see where people keep getting that its been delayed multiple times.. It's never been delayed, infact this is the first time we've ever heard them give us a solid timeline of when to expect it (quarter 2)
agreed. it was delayed ONCE. and once only. get over it

i was watching james rolfes latest video and Terminator came up, it got me thinking
I know why the game is not out and has taken years to produce
just like Terminator movies
A cyborg is sent back in time from 2029 to slow down blizzard, just like arnies T-101 is sent back in time by john connor to aid sarah and younger john connor (not Incl the T-101 from the 1st movie) to slow down Skynet
so ye the cyborg has come back from 2029 many times over the last 7 years to slow down diablo
there is evidence
blizzard north wasnt cancelled........ it was destroyed!!!!
then activison bought part of blizz in 2007 and diablo slowed right down, coincedence?
'team members leave the diablo team'...they were killed by T-1000s
Jay wilson joins the team in 2007, T-1000 takes his appearence & has infiltrated blizz
2008 they announce diablo to the world, recession hits the world
2010-2011, WoW loses 100s of thousands of players......killed!! to slow down blizz's revenue
2011 blizz announce end year release, Kim Jong-il dies and games is delayed, KJ was pro diablo 3...cyborgs again
February 2012.......game is pushed to Q2....The titanic Sank in April 12th 1912 (Q2) the cyborgs sank the titanic in 1912 knowing that wen the date hits exactly 100 years later ( April 12th 2012) the cyborg that pretending to be jay wilson TERMINATES everyone associated with Dibalo 3
they did try to stop D1 & D2 but failed
Then why didn't they stop you from revealing their secrets? Obviously more advanced robots from even further in the future must have destroyed them.
if this a direct quote from blizz, all i can say is....thanks alot
i wont be buying it if it is late june , real life will be getting in the way
huh? why the eff are they saying "by end of june" as a direct quote? they said "targetting Q2" which means it could come out anywhere from beginning of april TO the end of june.
", which means the game should hit store shelves by the end of June if everything goes according to plan."
they automatically assume they are aiming for the absolute end of their target window i guess. they are just being pessimistic so they dont get butt hurt

I mentioned earlier that we began beta testing for Diablo III last year. After receiving feedback from the community and our internal teams, we’ve implemented changes to the game, which we believe will greatly improve the game experience and ensure that the final release will live up to our high expectations.
We have also been testing the auction house functionality. This testing will help ensure a smooth rollout of this feature with the retail launch so our players can safely and securely trade items with each other. Given the popularity of the Action/RPG genre and the keen interest in Diablo III, we expect this launch to be a big opportunity for Blizzard. We can also confirm that we are targeting a Q2 launch for Diablo III. We expect to announce more details about the release schedule in the coming weeks.
I think they will announce the release date on GDC, so it means between March 5th to 9th, 2012.
(Announce the date, not release on that date)
Why GDC? If they keep the 2 months notice that means that the game would release start of May... Right in mid Q2.
Also, they said at the conference call that they would give more informations about the release date in some weeks... If I extrapolate a bit, the GDC is some weeks after the conference call that happened last week.
A number of people have been targeting the GDC also because of the fact that there are two panels there from Blizzard talking about Diablo 3 development in past tense. The only thing about this is that they are both art panels, so in that sense the vast majority of the art has likely been finished for some time now. It's unlikely that the art development is ever still going on close to release of a major title like this.
That said, I'd really like to know what is going on with even just the information about runes and skills that was supposed to be released according to Bashiok. I'm hopeful for the game actually being ready soon, but I think the longer it goes without them releasing that news, the later in Q2 it looks like they're going to make it.
At this point, what does it matter? I don't think this game can live up to the hype at this point. Diablo and Diablo 2 came out in a different era of gaming, without 6 years of hype...
I am just doing myself the favor of drastically reducing my expectations for this game. I was literally foaming at the mouth about it last year, but i am now bitterly accepting the fact that i will STILL buy the game despite the manner in which the modern Blizzard deals with it's customers.
Gaming used to be about the game. Not the hype, not the developers' egos, not shareholders. This whole D3 process has just been agonizingly transparent AND ambigious at the same time.
I don't give a fuck about Blizzard at this point. Just release the game or shut up. I don't need updates on fucking tooltips after 6 years of development news...

I concor! I've played that small part of beta at least 400 times, and I've enjoyed it everytime.
About speculation look this art. Right below. does it says 27 june or 27 april. I am a little tired so maybe i am just seeing numbers. Maybe its just a name.
Ha i see K 27 2012... K is on the #5 on a phone, may is the 5th month. May 27th 2012 it is... Punkass Jay Wilson said the game would be released about 6 months after beta. Mid sept-Mid March would be 6 months since that clearly not happening how far off was this ego maniac was? My gues above would indicate about 8 1/2 from release of the beta.
as many people, wen jay does say the date, it will be yay or sorry cant get the game
yay if its before mid may, i can get a solid month out and then slow down to a few hours a week, but if its afer mid may - june then wont be able to play it till at least march 2013 cos of IRL stuff going on
and alot of people are the same, exams, migrating, babies, invasions etc
also people can only afford one game or allowed the money for one game (if under the ager of 16) so getting MoP and D3 would not happen
we shall see if blizz will be getting my money, pls be april
LAWL invasions. yea personally id be thrilled with a may release, april is too optimistic and june is too far.

May 26/27 is Saturday/Sunday. So if people want to use this to speculate release date count out May. April 26/27th is Thursday/Friday and June 26th/27th is Tuesday/Wednesday. So based on this the greatest chance of a release date in order is June->April->May. Though, I would assume this piece of art has no relevance to the release date.
I can't see the game coming out in June. It's just too far. If we don't have a date by the end of next week I would also assume anywhere in the first 3 weeks of April is also out of the question. It seems like May makes the most sense at this point.
i am 95% sure that the game isn't going to be released in june, from past years i found very few AAA games released in that month so i am guessing late april or early may.
The release date will be announced on February 26th because this is when I run out of Q-tips.

My place really was here. I was too foolish and stubborn to notice. But, what I truly hoped for then was here. Why do I always realize it When I've already lost it.

agreed. it was delayed ONCE. and once only. get over it
Its pretty obvious to me that they put that in there to allow for another delay if needed
Then why didn't they stop you from revealing their secrets? Obviously more advanced robots from even further in the future must have destroyed them.
Do you know what this means? Cyber-Diablo.
huh? why the eff are they saying "by end of june" as a direct quote? they said "targetting Q2" which means it could come out anywhere from beginning of april TO the end of june.

I'm going to make my guess - May 15.
