Official Blizzard Quote:
That's weird, they originally had the exact quote in their Inferno article and then pulled it out and only quoted "When it's ready." in that new mini-blip thing. I think his original quote on Kotaku was "by the end of September" but I didn't copy it down.
Anyway, to set expectations straight, beta in August is unlikely. But it shouldn't be too long after.
So, as of now, the best we can hope for is before September 30.
Year and a half unemployed here. Totally agree.
Very true, it seems he's their go-to for trolololol'ing
Wouldn't the "best" we could hope for be Sept 1st?
Way to ruin my day Blizzard. Seriously getting tired of their misinformed information and just plain trolling (Ive been saying this for over a year now it seems to me). MYself, Im past the days of having fun with this as a joke, tell us solid information or get back to work, we want this game this year. Stop joking around.
Of course. But, that phrase wouldn't be better than "the best we can hope for is a release date on the 1st!" It's more optimistic, you see.
Eh, fuck it, it's not that big of a deal. I've already got my share of good news today (a la Inferno difficulty).
This ^^ Honestly not surprising though, you would think after 10+ years I would learn, but I fall for it every time...

Called it in June
Didn't we learn our months of the year in Kindergarten?
Just for the sake of argument, let's say the Beta lasts 2 months. Is not possible that they will still have a lot work to do after the beta? Including all the feedback they get from testers, and whatever tweaks they need to make to polish it off? That could easily push the game to early 2012.
I mean, just because the beta may only take 2 months, doesn't necessarily mean..they will be able to release it within a month or two afterward. I would hate to think for this to happen, but the thought is always itching at the back of my head. I still hope they are able to keep to their goal, I really do.
It's pleasing to know that they don't need much time to test. I just can't completely assume that means it will be out when they intend. I certainly welcome anyone to positively change my opinion to reassure that I shouldn't worry this much. It's just in my nature unfortunately.
