this is what mike said at the share holders meeting, pay attention to the last sentence
Diablo III
I mentioned earlier that we began beta testing for Diablo III last year. After receiving feedback from the community and our internal teams, we’ve implemented changes to the game, which we believe will greatly improve the game experience and ensure that the final release will live up to our high expectations.
Notice how I quoted the confrence call and made the one sentence bold? Should we have high expectations? YES. If we aren't to have high expectations, then why are we waiting on a game that they won't release until perfect due to high expectations?
I think the best way to wait for D3 is not to think too much about it. I was obsessing for a while over every little juicy detail, but I think we're at a place where there's not gonna be a whole lot more information before release. Here's to hoping for a first half of 2012 release though!!
*cheers!*
Definitely, I need to go live in a hole for awhile

Diablo III
I mentioned earlier that we began beta testing for Diablo III last year. After receiving feedback from the community and our internal teams, we’ve implemented changes to the game, which we believe will greatly improve the game experience and ensure that the final release will live up to our high expectations. We have also been testing the auction house functionality. This testing will help ensure a smooth rollout of this feature with the retail launch so our players can safely and securely trade items with each other. Given the popularity of the Action/RPG genre and the keen interest in Diablo III, we expect this launch to be a big opportunity for Blizzard. We can also confirm that we are targeting a Q2 launch for Diablo III. We expect to announce more details about the release schedule in the coming weeks.
now we shall see if they stick with the"coming weeks" part
Q2 lauch date? I hope this will happen because we all waited long enough to play again a Diablo game. I remember myself playing cow level with a friends in LAN, waiting to get some new itens to kill Diablo, again.
Somehow i always miss GiveAway question because of work . Its 20m-2h miss always :/ - and cant realy sit in facebook at work , well i guess beta just aint for me , sad face.
Since they removed mouse over for skills/runes you haven't unlocked yet, and they haven't updated the calculator, this is really annoying. It is now mechanically impossible to get your auto-attack (regular attack) anywhere on your bar if you select a second skill at level 2. Does that mean they got rid of the passives for Wizards and Hunters that boosted auto-attacks? We can't tell, b/c you can't mouse-over and read tooltips for higher level skills, runes, or passives!
Point is, the new UI is much, much worse than the old one. I want to see all of my skills on the same page, no scrolling.
- Go outside now. When has it been this warm in the winter?
- Finish various things are your To Do list, such as clean your desk.
- Read that book your friend recommended. The one without the pictures.
Isn't a bit unlike Blizz to say don't expect the absolute most from their games? They've always released games 'when they're done' and they've always turned out amazing, why change it now?
Dear lord I hope I get a beta key. I can't believe I still haven't received one yet from Blizzard. Been waiting over a decade now for this game. Hope I get lucky and win one here! Come on DiabloFans :Thumbs Up:
I will say out front that I am Diablo noob. I have never played the previous incarnations, but I must say that Diablo III looks very fun and I cant wait to try it!
