End of Q2 is when? The earliest a final release date was announced for a Blizzard game before launch is how long? There's your likely release date announcement date.
so did Heart of the Swarm just get bumped to 2013?
Seems 3 releases in 2012 almost implies it's out by the end of the year.
Sure, 3 does imply that but what they said was:
The company's first quarter 2012 outlook does not incorporate a new release from Blizzard Entertainment, but its calendar year 2012 outlook anticipates two releases from Blizzard Entertainment.
They said "at least" two.
Sure but still. They've gone from three planned to "at least two" or "anticipates two releases".
If one of the three does end up being pushed though, would that mean no HotS

So, if a follower dies when you die, what happens to all the loot that you equipped him with? Is it gone forever?
Secondly; how will the AI of these followers work. While playing solo inferno (with a follower) it will be likely that you'll need to kite monsters to avoid getting annihilated. Will your follower be smart enough to do so too, or will it charge in like attacking is the only thing they know, and get slaughtered? They said they don't want them to become a liability, or give the feeling that they need to be taken care of all the time, but this would certainly create these two scenarios. Are there commands set up for the followers (i.e. stay, follow, attack, passive, etc)?
Based on current beta:
1. Nothing is lost, EVER, on a follower due actions other than a player removing the items manually.
I have a follow up question: if a follower kills mob by himself, do you still get loot from it or no? For example in WoW if pet kills mob without you touching him, you get nothing.
in WoW i always considered that to be in a group of bugs that always needed to be fixed... along with vanish not working.. i imagine in such a loot oriented game you will get the loot, in fact i think i remember seeing it happen in a lets play of the beta.
In wow this is actually intended to make sure that pet classes cant just stand afk and get exp from pet kills.
hey, I noticed something
when the female monk is wearing shoulderpads, she doesn't wear the beads.
As you can see, she only wears the beads in the very-light-armor-artwork, in the medium-armor-render and the heavy-armor artwork, she isnt wearing the beads.
is Blizz trying to ditch the beads?
btw the male monk wears his all the time (but then again we haven't seen him with shoulderarmor yet )
I really hope they keep the beads, they really add a nice touch to the monk. Reminds me of some of the depictions of buddhist monks(most often in anime and whatnot).
Q2 is april - june

2. Followers are stupid
Odds are he's someone connected to an emulated server. Dont think Blizzard would post videos like that on youtube
Act 2 is the city of Caldeum if i remember correctly
working to see if i can find any corresponding images with the last two, maybe someone else knows?
Edit: Act 4 kinda reminds me of the architecture of the high heavens so maybe the crystal arch or the silver spire?

Edit-
Oh and Akuma/Gouki from Street Fighter!
That said. She's sporting a Paladin Tier 8 bottom half(with slits in the dress) and a fair of what looks like priest tier 9 shoulders.
