A rep from Blizzard just sent me notice that there would be no more announcements at BlizzCon tomorrow (Saturday), so for those of you (ie: all of you) who were hoping that this would be the day that Diablo 3 was finally confirmed, I'm sorry to inform you that you'll have to continue to wait. We all know that it's eventually coming, but the waiting for the official confirmation of the third game along with some idea of what it will be like is a really hard thing to wait for. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured it would be best to tell you about this now rather than have you guys waiting around all day Saturday hoping that we'd hear more about Diablo 3. Thanks for sticking with us though... Blizzard is listening to us and sooner or later (ok, later) Diablo 3 will become a reality.
In other Blizzard-related news, the rep just sent me word that our own Umaro participated in the first-ever Starcraft II tournament with Loc Teinh (from w3roc.com) on his team and won in the first round, but they were unfortunately defeated in round 2 by TeamLiquid. The overall winner of the tournament was TeamLiquid who were then given the opportunity to play Karune and Stephen Chang from the eSports team. TeamLiquid wasn't able to defeat them though. Unfortunately there's no replay video footage from this tournament, but maybe that will change later on.
More news as it becomes available.
Sad Diablo indeed. (thanks to Zabadak for sharing this image with us)
damn f idiots i hate blizzard!!! (only like the games) and everyone who says starcraft owns. it doesnt! it sucks big time. the command and conquer red alert series are much much better.
How do u know they are just doing this to side track us. There is always hope and they could be waiting for the moment we arent thinking about it and they anounce it.
Who here can tell me where i can send blizz an email because I got a bone to pick with them!!! And also people dont be down because it's anounced. Why did they say they had (2) anouncements at blizzcon if they only anounced one. Why did they have an interview last month pierce said we are anouncing 2 things at blizzcon and team 3 is working on something amazing!. But one thing that stands out the most is them not saying a word about diablo at blizzcon.
Hey then why did they not do anything for diablo at blizzcon. Wasnt all three games supposed to be there not just wwow and starcraft? Something is fishy.
Aibo, I'm 22 now. I don't plan on giving up on the Diablo series.
While it's unfortunate that we have been stiffed as far as our third of the Blizzard pie goes this year, there was not a total lack of Diablo presence at the festival.
The goodie bags have commemorative button packs, Diablo has its own button on there - have a look.
Also, we've noticed several Diablo posters and banners interspersed with the WoW and SC banners. Blizzard isn't dumb. Why would they even continue to print this merchandise, license books by Richard Knaak, etc.?
I have a new theory. Nobody panic.
New Diablo book - third in the Sin War trilogy - to be shipped to stores in October. E for All Summit, to take place mid-October. WSVG to feature Blizzard's WoW - BC (meaning there'll be Blizzard employees on hand). I haven't seen anything about the companies attending yet, but that's well a ways away so I'm sure news will be out soon enough of those involved.
Blizzcon looks to be a bust for Diablo, but in about three months maybe we can expect at least some information. I had hope for this weekend also, but I won't give up that hope.
Good job octagon see be posative I still think they have something they arent telling us and if they dont anounce anything well I guess we wait. STarcraft had a long wait diablo well we havnt hit 10 years yet. But Still Little hope but theres still hope.
Not giving up right now, but i hope this guys right, and we will experience anything about diablo. I dont care, i would buy a cellphone game, and pay as much as for Diablo III.
Any news, anything about Diablo and I should be glad, if not they completely fucked us up.
no, hes just saying stuff before so that if it happens it seems as if he was giving us hints. its like all the people who make predictions. they say a million things, and if only a handfull actually happen everyone looks at them as if they were special.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What Is This Piece Of Shit Oh My God Wtf Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I Hate This
I personally feel that if Diablo is not even mentioned at this years Blizzcon, that every member at this site (who feels like me) should let blizzard know how much we are disappointed in them. I mean, we actually represent the diablo community, and if blizzard isn't going to respond, we should let them know how we feel. I don't want to hear..."What can we do" bullshit... large groups of people are more powerful then you think. Most of us can write articles posted on blogs ..gaming related websites...form petitions..send emails whatever. Because quite honestly, this years blizzcon (from what I saw the first day via Giga) was boring as hell, and was really a "craft" fest as most other people mentioned. Not only that, but blizzcon was like false advertisement from the beginning. I mean all the help wanted from "diablo 1 and diablo 2 franchise workers", the fucking big ass diablo head sitting on their site when blizzcon was announced as a project, and the fact, that it is supposed to be a convention representing ALL of the blizzard franchises. Can they find any other way to piss us off...I mean seriously.. God forbid they halt production on warcraft...I mean because its really all about the money thats important right? Just let the diablo fans wait and wait...spend 100 bucks to go to your convention..and then bite them in the ass. Yes very nice blizzard...IMO extreme disappointment you've been. I mean they don't even have to "announce" the game really, just give a clue..and at least say SOMETHING about the third franchise. But hey..maybe they do announce it today, and we all look wrong...but its still worth letting them know how we feel.

3 more years = 10 years since D2
I'll be 22 when this game is announced, gah.
sorry friend, but blizzard never said that...
I agree, it has been "confirmed" that Diablo 3 will be announced several times, we'll see, the rep could just be building suspence.
While it's unfortunate that we have been stiffed as far as our third of the Blizzard pie goes this year, there was not a total lack of Diablo presence at the festival.

I'm sticking around.
Or at least claims to.
he didnt say anything special..
too sensitive..
If you read the whole thread on the "hydra" code name he was dangling treats in front of people's faces.
He claims to know information. I say if he knows, why not share?
(Sure wish he was logged on right about now.)
