We already knew blizzard has been actively seeking new workers for the Diablo console project. A recent tweet from bashiok has once again confirmed this, along with informing us of who the projects lead designer is.
Wizard - Electrocute Runed
Today we have the Wizard's Electrocute spell runed (Minus the Alabaster rune). As always please keep in mind some effects or graphics may be missing or not be working correctly!
New Info Coming In the Next Few Weeks
It looks like we will not have to wait to long to get information on the new game systems blizzard has been working on. Bashiok replied on twitter saying we should see some new information in the next few weeks.
Official Blizzard Quote:
What are some of the features that you guys are working on? What could possibly be holding Diablo 3 back? Just really curious haha
We'll be sharing some of it in the next couple weeks.
Diablo 3 Comic
chewingfat came out awhile back with a short comic titled "scroll of companion".
And many more weeks for release...
Oh well, it was obvious when they changed for Q1 to Early anyway
Give me a freaking break.
Don't bother teasing us with this info about info so far in advance what a load of stringing along that is.
Maybe that guy got hired recently and Bashiok just wanted to announce that things are moving forward with the console development.
Game won't be released anytime in q1 2012, why?
First, they mentioned that the game release has to be 2 month window time in advance from the date of announcement.
And my expectation that they of course know when they will announce the release date, and what is their daily plan to accomplish their daily task to meet their target in releasing the game, i.e they are afraid for saying it on public that game will be postponed again from q1 2012 into q2 2012, which i am so assure that it will be by 2nd quarter.
If they are trying to release the game pc and console versions at once, or if the korea RMAH is really the main obstacle with the game rating info, or changing the mob health and defense system from attacking in inferno mode ? adjusting the rune system? i understand all that... but here is my point it will be like i said q2 2012.
Bashiok even corrected his blue post by saying early 2012 not q1 2012, ( q1 2012 means from jan to march) early 2012 means from (jan to june), q2 2012 means from (april to july).
Anyhow i hope my assumption is wrong,
EDIT: Sorry, had a word in there that didn't belong!
There goes my idea of maybe having a mature community...
Might feature it on gogglecat later. Keep up the updates, it's pretty funny
the psx diablo did suck but Blizzard has come a long way in game development...sure they don't have a ton of console experience but I'm confident they'd do a much better job this time
1: Will it always be online like the pc Version and if not well that just proves the always online aspect for the pc is stricly DRM and nothing more.
2: Will there be real money involved with the AH.
You know if i think about it if its not always online i will get it on console instead of Pc because living in Australia i reckon Hardcore will be very very hard to play with lag and all....
I actually heard monsters and where there at is based on the server side.... Its going to be very interesting to see what they do. Also yeah im pretty much in the Beta and there is lag in combat and you can tell. Mind you, you do get used to it but still hardcore would be like second reactions and stuff...
