Forget them Calavera, you've made another great comic, keep it up!
Don't you even worry about it! Forums were made to discuss about things things, it's perfectly fine if they want to do it. As long as they admit that I am right and they are wrong, obviously.
Oh, Hoboman, the Wizard is winning, she is pretending to be asleep while casting clairvoyance.
Probably some of the dumbest commenting in the world on this whole issue right here. Either people were 7 or 8 years old when D1 or D2 was around or they seem to forget something very, very important. The idiocy that is current Warcraft has shown you what happens when things get released when they aren't ready - bugs, dupes, exploits, and other trash play. People want their instant gratification like little children.
There is no delay when the game isn't ready yet. Delay implies something is in the way, they are merely making last minute changes. If you were in the Beta you would see what they've changed the past 6 months, it's a shitload of things needing checked. I remember the D2 initial release, it was an absolute mess. Get over yourselves and go outside. I don't care if it takes another year for release.
"We will release the game when it is ready."
Anyone remember the wait for 1.09 to 1.10? The accompanying cartoon from Blizzard stated "Hell has frozen over, Patch 1.10". Pretty sure the bulk of people here don't remember that but that is typical Blizzard.
They never said Q1 though, so nothing got delayed... early 2012 is not defined as a specific quarter.
Even though they say "early 2012" they are saying Q1 even if they never actually said it.
January - February - March (Q1) = Early 2012
April - May - June (Q2) = Mid 2012
July - August - September (Q3) = Mid 2012
October - November - December (Q4) = Late 2012
And now that we know they are targeting for a Q2 release then it is pretty much delayed since they said "early 2012" but thats not correct to say its still Q2.
Why are you splitting it up in quarters? If they wanted it to be quarters they would have said so. They sais early 2012, the year has 12 months:
Early: Jan, Feb, marts, april
Midd: maj, juni, juli, aug
Late: sept, okt, nov, dec
But anyways, I don't think you can call it delayed before theres been an actual release date and it then gets pushed, but thats just me
Why are you splitting it up into thirds?
See what I did? : )
Anyway, there wasn't a release DATE but there was a release WINDOW and that window was PUSHED BACK, hence another DELAY.
I don't get how anyone can say there wasn't a delay, I feel like you're just trying to pick an argument if you do. The definition of the word does not require a specific DAY. They had a target time frame to release and that time frame was changed...delayed.
De-lay 1. To postpone until a later time; defer. 2. To cause to be later or slower than expected or desire
Come on now...

They DID say "Sooner than you think". Well I don't know about you, but i was NOT thinking April - June.
It was originally end of Q4 2011 release

But hey!I totally agree with you man! there's some of the dumbest people commenting on this issue, right here! ;P
