Though I'm not expecting any surprises tomorrow, if Jay were to give us one non-related to a release date, I think it would be awesome if they decided to extend the benefits of the annual pass for an invitation to the D3 beta! I'd kill to trade my future MoP beta for D3..
"Bashiok is a troll"-comment?
"Arrow to the knee"-joke in signature?
Classic example of bandwagoner, take it with a grain of salt please...
Bashiok likes to "screw around" with people sometime, but he doesn't really throw lies in our faces :P. Although he sometimes says things that out of context may seem like contradictions/lies/announcements...
The grain of salt was sarcasm, sorry it pissed you off. And the arrow in the knee thing is from last year, it was as much of a bandwagon thing as you wanting to play diablo 3.

You don't know what a "troll" is if you think he is one.
Takes a troll to know a troll right?
you'll just have to find out tomorrow on which troll is trolling who.
It didn't "piss me off", I just think it was a bit misleading..
Well, yes we will see.. an article tomorrow :). As said by Molster though I don't think it will be anything super exciting, but anything is better than what we have atm.
The ultimate Blizzard troll would be if they released the article within a wallpaper!
anddddddddddd at the end of the article, its gonna say "We continue to work hard on Diablo 3, to bring you the best possible Diablo game ever. We're shooting for an early Q2 2012 release" loooooooool. calling it now!!!
I hope it will be something new to look forward to , instead of the stuff we already know for ages.. Runesystem... Releasedate... all i wanna know.
Yeah. If there's no new major stuff in tomorrow's article I'll be livid. Polish polish polish polish my ass. But I have to say this tweet from Jay interest me...I'm thinking he might have been talking about tomorrow's article...perhaps something new indeed!!!
guy; 'so any news, you said you would say what has been going on behind the scenes'
jay; 'yes i did, its been very exciting with whats been going on behind the scenes'
'i will say now what we have been doing since we last spoke'
'Big tony from art has broken his record of balancing babies on his chin, a whopping seven, you should have been there it wasso cool, Steve in design is a father again, the mothers dont know, keep that on the down low'
'Last friday we called new girl Claire into the office, we told her that she had been selected to be the Poster girl for diablo for retailers, she was blown over by the thoughtfullness & was very very excited, we let her soak it up for 5 minutes, as she went to
leave we spurted out our malted whiskeys with laughter, we told her that how could any1 that looks like you be seen in a
picture, let alone been seen by millions......OMG it was so funny, best friday ever!!!!!!!!!'
'we had naked tuesday on thursday, it was great for like 10 minutes until hairy jeremy came in, not much happend for the rest of that day, spat at people out of my window'
Guy; 'ermmmm jay, anything about diablo?'
Jay; 'ummmmmm nope'
'oh yes actually, we have FINALLY finished making the disc case, it glows in the dark so you dont loose it incase of a black
out'
guy; 'Oh um er ok jay, thank you i guess
Jay; 'no problem, im off with with some guys to get frankie form sound dept deported back to columbia \o/, see ya F**kers'
I enjoyed this, thanks!
I wonder if they're reluctant to provide projections related to game performance until the Beta patch is released? Maybe they want to see how D3 performs with the updates in the Beta to determine how they will respond. If it goes well & is a success, they will give impressions of a "closer" release date. And, if God forbid it goes bad, they have another message that they'll spit out, a horrendous notification that says something to the effect of "until further notice/at a later time/Q3 or possibly Q4/sooner than you think/heres more wall papers/go sniff some glue for a while"
Mike Morhaime: You tell them Diablo III is delayed again.
Jay Wilson: No! You do it!
Mike Morhaime: I did it the last time Jay...
Jay Wilson: Oh yeah...
Jay Wilson: Dammit.
anddddddddddd at the end of the article, its gonna say "We continue to work hard on Diablo 3, to bring you the best possible Diablo game ever. We're shooting for an early Q2 2012 release" loooooooool. calling it now!!!
Don't be silly, the won't commit to Q2. they will just say "when its ready" or "soon".
I can't say the write up will bring good news or bad news.
Hopefully it's good news about the rune system and other things.. however it could just be about the rune system followed by nothing apart from "it's still up in the air" and I guess when it falls to the ground the game will be released, providing that's the only major content that is still a work in progress.
aside from the development time, I still love diablo
btw what was this with this "leak" yesterday? the thread got closed pretty fast
It was a copy of Mike Morhaim's delay article edited to make it appear that it was written by Jay Wilson talking about a delay to the end of 2012. I was humored for a minute or 3.
scared? to me, this means they have a BIG change on a system, or adding in or removing a BIG system. Though this change will be for the better of the game im sure, it may be something a lot of people wont take well, or really liked? who knows, but interesting.

I'm excited for tomorrow. And scared. Excared? Nah, it'll be fine.
This one..confuses me... I know for a fact im looking WAYYYYYY to much into it.. but im bored and can't stand waiting for this article. But why, when someone says the will like you no matter what..do you reply like this? SCARY
Official Blizzard Quote:
Listen bashiok no matter what info comes out "the true fans" will be happy! Try not to respond to the haters!!! We love ya bro!
Well, you let me know what you think after you read it.
Can not wait!! Though im now overhyping this myself ...which I always say is a bad idea... errrrr
And he also confirms what many have guessed, no release date announcement:
Official Blizzard Quote:
We will absolutely not be announcing a release date tomorrow. Spread the word.
If people really believed in a release date tomorrow, they are ... funny.
I already bet my money on the fact that people will QQ tomorrow and create other conspiracy about "It's a sign of DELAY because the game doesn't look close to finish!!"
I had a whole essay in my head I could write here (which I would half enjoy to do), but it all boils down to these two simple things to anybody who just wants to play the game, and is a Diablo fan:
1) Blizzard seems to have a bad case of multiple personality disorder with Diablo 3 from "pushing" Beta to the end of the "Q3", shady start of Closed Better vs Press Closed Beta, NDA press mess, saying game is "Technically" ready for release but go weeks without official word, now we know of an article but takes two weeks to get it and it's not a release date, which means it could just say "Polish on, polish off!" Much love Mr. Miyagi.
2) THIS ARTICLE WAS DOOMED FROM THE START if it did not contain a release date for a vast majority of the Community. NOT to say the information we get (if it has a healthy amount of updates on artisans, rune system, finalizing of classes and abilities and most important still on track for "Q1" release) is bad, but if we get the rune system, if we get a high cap or any other thing that we most likely WON'T get in Beta; at this point it's just "red meat" to the fans with out anything behind it.
Remember, even if they did add more to the Beta (which should throw up red flags!) only people in Beta would be able to test these things out...a still seeming small trickle of water compared to the water behind the dam pushing out!
At least with a release date, in my own opinion and how I feel about it, a release date does NOT make me certain that Blizzard will have the game out, BUT a sign of CONFIDENCE in their ability to get the game out...with out the release date I can't have CONFIDENCE in Blizzard, nor any information they may put out and finalizing of the game till we get a release date because until then, there giving themselves time to play around with systems and other game elements. A release date means there're all said in stone with a race to print the CDs.
Simple as that as far as my feelings go!

We wont get runestones in beta. at least thats what they said. I dont see why they would change that. -shrugs-
If people really believed in a release date tomorrow, they are ... funny.

Oh well.
