Update: Patch is now live
Diablo 3 Beta Patch 11 - Official Patch Notes
I guess we shouldn't get too excited about this patch.

Diablo III Beta Patch 11 – v.0.6.1.8350
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a number of game and service crashes
No Death Animations
Remember the awesome death animation with the Barbarian and the Siegebreaker Assault Beast? Well, the awesome death animations are not in the game.
Official Blizzard Quote:
Unfortunately we never managed to get these implemented. They were a really cool idea, but a pretty huge amount of work. The one we showed of the siegebreaker was a scripted sequence we set up specifically for that video. It was never implemented, and never actually worked without someone sitting there typing in a bunch of commands to get it all to fire off properly. It's still something we'd like to do, though.
All things considered there are just higher priority tasks sometimes. We'd love, for example, to have the monk display his weapons during all of his skill animations. But it's an enormous animation and effects investment to get it done, and we have to weigh all of these things against other features and polish. A lot of the skills we could improve have multiple animation sets, multiplied twice for each gender, and then multiplied by each weapon type he can equip. That can be 40 or more unique animations, and then there's a full FX pass, approvals, QA testing, etc. etc. and that'd just be for 1 skill.
We have our wish lists, but it's a balancing act of resources. Ideally our choices when balancing go toward setting realistic limitations, and producing the best game possible.
Blizzard is Looking for a Game Recruiter
If anyone works in the industry or is just following who is working for Blizzard, they are looking for a game recruiter.

Should point out that "release" goes next to the version number ingame, they don't place it there.
So unless I have a diff patch 11, fake
This is looking more and more like Fable now, they give you all those wonderful features and just before release, they squam half of it saying things like: "system isn't relevant", "not mature enough", " it didn't feel right", "Added nothing". I don't know what is happening behind the blizzard doors but I'm eager to get my collector's edition to see those meatballs working on it. When they said that diablo 3 would be the last of the current franchise I was sad. Now I couldn't be happier, this wait is a true torture and seeing how it's going down in the last months before release is painful!
I cant believe they said late 2011 and now we"re in february. Well one this is for sure, I think that Blizzard is run by the 3 evils. They make me HATE them for the 4 year wait, they DECEIVE us with false release dates, I DESTROY my desk each time there has been a system change and they TERRORISE us by saying the game might now come out in early 2012.
ya ya we are over that, we got more pressing matters to attend too!
Just had 4 people confirm its not there for them.
However, all are on patch 11
edit: 7
Ill try another fresh install when im home
someone with a fresh install also does not have it, so =/
well keep looking into it tho, just in case
