There are too many simularities between Diablo3 and Starcraft: Ghost.
* Both announced way ahead of time
* Both had demo's at E3 and Blizzcon, and then internally changed (looking at you Demonhunter)
* Both were a few months from release and got pushed back.
* Both released cinematics to hype people up while they stalled.
I really hope Diablo 3 doesn't go the way of Vaporware like Starcraft: Ghost did.
Not saying it will, just that I'm scared the possibility is there, and after waiting 11years now, that is just something I can not handle right now in my life.
Ghost got dumped.
D3 is 99% finished... and the beta is working well, except for the AH maybe (which is still a disaster), but I'm positive they'll fix it. There is no way D3 won't be released in 2012 unless the world ends.
Also, if such things scare you, you should consider seeing a doctor.

I did not get dumped, I broke up with her.
Lol jk, couldn't resist replying to "Ghost got dumped"....
Ooooh, it's a tinfoil hat thread! Let me find mine quick!
This game, internally at Blizzard, is nothing like SC:Ghost, or, for that matter, Lord of the Clans. They will be releasing it and it's almost certainly going to be in the first half of 2012. I'm expecting it by May at the latest, but anytime around there would be reasonable I think at this point.
I do agree though, the AH needs some work, but that's relatively simple to fix compared to all the other work that's gone into the game.
To the op...you could say there are similarities between most games and Starcraft: Ghost.
Announced way ahead of time
Items are changed after a demo is released
Delays are inevitable, whether we hear about them or not.
Media like that is routinely released between when a game is announce and when it's released.
OP, one question, would you rather have Blizzard announce a release date when they announce the game and then release a poor quality game like almost every other gaming studio? Or would you rather sit and wait for a game that Blizzard is working tooth and nail to complete to the best of their abilities?
Personally, I would choose the later cause then I know I am buying a quality product and not some piece of shit, half-baked, game.

I don't always burn. But when I do, I use hellfire.
Wasn't one of the major reasons Ghost got dumped because they took so long developing it that the time frame for release would have put it out right as 360 was due to hit the market?
I had that game on preorder for so long I had totally forgotten about it till digging through my car and finding the receipt for it. Was nice finding 50 bucks I had forgotten about.

i lol'ed, i mean really? are you serious?

Delay to mid 2012 seems possible and may be very likely to happen, delay to late 2012 is also possible and also semi-likely to happen, and a delay to 2013 seems plausible knowing Blizzard. The game will be worth the wait, but my disappointment will still be high.
I think most of my disappointment stems from the fact that Blizzard doesn't say anything until almost the last possible second, if there's going to be a delay then say it. Don't be a pansy, you're a big boy company.
Really at this point a release between March and June is very likely imo. If the game is released later than that it will be both massively disapointing and it would come in the same period as MoP which will be released between June and November. I don't see Blizzard conflicting the sales of this 2 games.
You can argue it will go to 2013 (after MOP) but let's be serious even if Blizzard is reknown for delays they cannot devalue a project that much for nothing.
the game will definately be released. But it won't be before June 2012 if we're lucky. Maybe a christmas gift next year if we're realistic. Maybe 2013 if things go poorly. But theres no way in hell its an "early" 2012 game anymore.

Every single day that passes I find myself second guessing.

It won't.
Diablo3 is also an online game where as SC:G was FPS on the consol, it would not require a beta.
Well inform or not, this was more or a less a joke thread anyways, something to start up a conversation weither it be flaming or not.

I hate the way you cling to ignorance and pass it off as innocence
based on inside information I take it.
