It looks like we might be seeing the article about champion/elite kills effecting boss kills and magic find soon. This would hopefully cover some of the information such as Nephalem Valor resting on skill switching, along with new information on how this ties to bosses.

We'll be continuing to invite people into the beta, yes. As far as who, what regions, or how many, that's information we don't release beforehand (mostly because we don't know). (Blue Tracker/Official Forums)
Digital Collector's Edition
Our Collector's Editions are traditionally retail-exclusive, and while we appreciate that there's some desire for digital versions of our CE's, we have no plans to do so for Diablo III.
Best of luck though in getting a hold of a physical one! I think it's the coolest CE we've put together. (Blue Tracker/Official Forums)

Any reason our characters are doomed to first names, and cannot have last names via spaces or underscores?
You're such a bad ass that you just go by one name. Like Cher. (Source)
YES or NO servers on release date will turn at 3am eastern?
We don't know yet. (Source)
Will you release a wallpaper for 2 million likes on Facebook, pretty please?
Oh man... MAYBE! If you're lucky. (Source)
Hey Bash. How are the loot tables handled in D3? Is it like D2, or do all monsters share the same loot table?
There are types of loot monsters can drop, and then varying chances. It's not a single gigantic item pool, but it's close. (Source)
If we already have the beta client, do we still need to download the retail client?
Yes, they're different. (Source)

Posted Mar 20, 2012Looking forward to that big blue post regarding MF bonuses.
Edit: Forgot to ask, but does Blizzard update the info on their web site when a patch change goes through? For example, they still have Poison Bolts on the Scoundrel's web page although, according to DF, it's been removed.

Posted Mar 20, 2012I don't care if followers do loads of damage. If they can at least serve the purpose of distracting monsters then it's fine.
