Not sure if there is already a thread about this. If there is my apologies. In an interview at WWI, Rob Pardo stated that Diablo 3 is "really far along" and that "the other classes are playable back at the office". So maybe Diablo 3 is farther along than we think ya?

He also went on to say multiple times that they have a long way to go and that the game isn't nearly ready. Other staff members also noted that the game is barely in the, what we would call, alpha stages. I'd have to snoop around for articles, but I'm pretty sure if you Google something like that you should get stuff eventually.
Really far along meaning that they're too far along to have another art direction change
I agree- in context that's what makes the most sense.
blizzard games are never about the graphics... its about the quality and replayability of the gameplay... d2 is so outdated to this day and is still my favorite game and one of many others top games... its 2.5d or w/e they called it... 10 years old and still has thousands playing... if its fun... nobody cares.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHY HE CHANGE NBAME!!! Magistrate was awesome...now its...alright......ummm yea....

I guarantee it will be released next year. As they said, one frontline release per year. Starcraft 2 was announced for the end of this year, same with Diablo 3 next year probably.
Diablo 3 is gonna be announce in december 21, 2012.
Don't you mean released?
Speaking of which, I talked to a friend of mine on skype the other day and he said that he'd read on the battle.net forums of Diablo 3 release date of December this year, well as one user said in one post "you can dream"

It was graphically outdated when it was announced. That's why graphics aren't the focus of the game. Don't worry about it.
I agree but IMO D2 looked unprofessional being graphically outdated.
I feel that Blizzard know that people will wait for this game so they're just taking their time with it, which is shit. It's not all about the hardcore gamers which will wait an eternity.

soooooooo
whats 1 or 2 more years compared to 5 =3
they are probaly still making monster models and finishing interface changes and making the rest of the acts xD
the balancing def wasnt even considered yet
so yep only 70% more of the game to make ^.^ almost done xD
Be my Buddy =^.^=
And yeah, I'm thinking "pretty far along" means that they've worked on 1 maybe 2 acts, and still habe about 60% of the game to do.
I agree- in context that's what makes the most sense.
Thats a bit to far away for a game announced in 2008 dont you think?
wtf? Arent you magistrate???
