    My feeling on this whole matter is that they won't announce release dates until the actual game DVD's are being mass copied, boxes and materials are being produced, etc. Basically, mass production and shipments to retailers being the final steps remaining.

    Anyone who expects the game to be out before deep in the summer months (think August/September) is fooling themselves. There's still plenty of work to be done on this game from the looks of it. We were fools to think that a 2011 release was even remotely possible.

    I also don't expect Morhaime to say anything revealing during the next call. Everyone should just keep themselves preoccupied with other games, work, life, whatever. I've stopped checking the site because there's so many spoilers about.
    Wanna bet that it will be out before the end of Q2 (Q2 ends at the end of July) ? :)

    It seemed game was postponed again, but if Bio says they are still aiming at Q1, its nice to hear.

    However in the next post Bio said "we're in the process of working on some rather large game system changes". So game was done 3 months ago, but more polish was needed... and they repeated "polishing" 100x, and now they're doing "large game system changes"? I hope its just pre-emptive PR damage control in case additional delays happens. But if Blizz is indeed working on it as it sounds, game WILL be delayed :(
    Bio? Wrong company :P Blizz you mean. Stop reading swtor (or ME3) forums at the same time ;)

    You can't tell me I " didn't know" q1 all you want... But I knew... Oh I knew... The things I know.. If only.......


    Okay the above is jokes , but seriously we did pretty much figure they meant q1 so that is no surprise at all.
    I knew too it meant Q1, but a lot of people were saying it meant Q2. So it's for those people that I was saying that they got their answer ^^

    Quote from Molster

    What I got off of this, and am thrilled with, is even with a the system changes they are talking about, at this very time, they are sill on track for that, which is fantastic news ( yes of course it can change)

    I'm really looking forward to the feb meeting, some release dates/ push backs were give close to them... Will be nice to see

    Overall a very good day for news it seems
    Yup! I wish January could end now, so we would be already in February. Any idea when the conference call date will be announced?

    To those who says : We already knew it was Q1 : No you did not. You interpreted the early 2012 as Q1, but we all know Blizzard and their definition of "soon", "very soon" and the likes is vague. The month of May could have been to some extent an early 2012, but my specifying Q1 it says it's between January and March 31st, 2012.

    "They said 'aiming' so it means nothing" : You are right, they could aim at Q1 but release on Q2. But do we have any proof or anything else that tells us otherwise? They said Q1 so for now we gotta soak up the Q1 and cross our fingers for it. We cannot be already pessimist and say Q2.
    Let's wait the conference call in February (mid-Feb at max) and see! Don't expect anything else before the end of January.

    It is indeed a good news. People finally know what early 2012 means (thus cutting the summer release idea). It's not a set in stone quarter release, but it tells us that it didn't got delayed any further and tells us that at this moment it's still Q1.

    Pretty sure before the next conference call we will hear something very very interesting!

    I finally got an answer from Bashiok on the official forum of Diablo 3 if the early 2012 meant a Q1 :

    Are far are you guys (generally) from being able to ship a game that is polished? In other words is it still an early 2012 planned release? (which quarter is planned would be most appreciated, not month, but quarter).

    Because the way it sounds, it's like if there's still a lot of job left and that can scare a bit the people eh!


    Official Blizzard Quote:



    We don't know. We were shooting for the end of 2011, and now we're shooting for first quarter 2012. As soon as we're sure of something (release date or otherwise) we'll be sure to let you know.

    It's not much but I am happy he answered me :)

    Quote from NotFunny008

    Actually they said it would be the end of the trilogy but not the end for future story taking place in the Sanctuary.
    I do remember that from this Blizzcon. They said they didn't want to close the Sanctuary world as it's a world they love... (Do they have a world they don't love).
    The Prime Evils triology will be over once Diablo 3 is released, but will Sanctuary story be over? If Sanctuary story is over it means either the Heavens or Hell won the war, because they can't have peace... Peace is a lie.

    Wow those forums are soon going to turn like MMO-Champ : Insult fest!

    This is part of what Boubs brings to the table unfortunately. Those forums are horrible. Great site but horrible forums.
    Well tbh, I feel the news to be a bit thinner since Force and Sixen left, I miss their podcast (yes I know they still do it, but I kinda forget to check youtube every week).

    I think Boubouille coming has nothing to do with those attitude. It's the fact that DFans getting more known ;) But this is not the time and place for this discussion xD

    Sorry to make your post derail Gheed!

    posted a message on D3 not handled by GRB in S.Korea today
    Quote from Zoobi

    Honestly? Fuck S.Korea, one country should not hold the game back for the rest of the world. They can easily work out the S.Korea details after the game is released elsewhere. I sincerely hope this isn't actually delaying the game for the rest of us.
    When one country is a big part of the Market you can't just do that when you are called Activision. I mean, Blizzard.

    posted a message on Korea delay
    They said it, it's not because of the Korea situation, if you are still believing that Blizzard is liying to us on that... well don't know what to tell you.
    The Korea market situation is probably one of the factor that added to the delay, but it's not the sole purpose.


    Will we have a release date announcement? I doupt it. Not before the mid-january.
    How long after the announcement will it be release? I'd say it all depends on when they announce it, but I would expect 1 month.
