Indeed you did, and that does break my faking method. Alright, so at this point it would be prudent for us to get more confirmations. When did you first notice this appearing?
i took me a few looks but then saw your teeny text
i thought you were just throwing a brick at us
Guess I need to make the teeny-tiny text a wee bit bigger.
Anyway, back on-topic... I think the "retail" thing going on is interesting, but I think there's still a lot of things to be done before Blizzard will say it's ready to go. Like a release date, for instance.
Well the fact that it is called Retail will provide two answers to everyone.
1) That is the copy that they plan on shipping to all the media outlets/stores.
2) The release date will be announced within the next two weeks..giving blizzard a chance to finish up the polishing and then production of the millions of DVD/Game guides/Collectors Editions, in which will take just over a month to produce and ship the products to all the stores, and then the rest of that time will be setting up the release party for Diablo 3...

no, I think it would mean the internal build they have is, my guess is the part of the internal build slipped into the beta build. So I wouldnt look at what we have as final on our side (rune changes still dont show in client side)
I do think we should get a release -soon-.
Im still trying to get some more confirmation on this, we only have 2 users out of all of D3 confirming this atm. Would love to see some more.
This is a load of BS, death animations... hard??? Look at dead space and you'll know that the technology is out there. Besides, they could have done it for the 4 big bosses and some 2nd bosses if they had time. Include a radius of effect and a health threshold to trigger the event. Why they are lacking time to do this and rushing it is beyond me. Tthey had 4 freaking years to do this and with an engine + couple of mechanics already in place. We're now looking at a 8 year development cycle... I hate to say it but, in my eyes, this game is already a failed product. I had time to play 3 uncharted games while they made a 4 act game .
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.
Is hard to code death animation for an MMO like D3 not to mention gender, and then multiplied by each weapon and armor 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. it didn't feel right.
A what now?
Permanent internet connection ?
So you believe that if a game requires a constant internet connection it's an MMO?

go easy on him
you would suprised by the amount of people think its an MMO, my mate thought there was a sub and said now way not getting it, i said its an RPG, no sub...he said 'just pre ordered it'
A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting hundreds or thousands of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet, and usually feature at least one persistent world.

"once the pretty hardcore gamers we had testing inferno found it fairly difficult, we then we doubled it" -trolololol jay wilson
I though it was too cool to be something simple coded. And taking the head apart of my body... surely I wasn't going alive again =D
Maybe it is a good feature for Hardcore... someone suggest this on the d3 off forums for the expansion
Oh I'm almost certain these along with many of the other features (companions =P) will make it in before another Xpac. It feels, and I hope I'm right, that they have finally decided exactly what to focus their efforts on (cmooooon runestones) to get the game out at a reasonable date.
Blizzard is so inept it's ridiculous. They've gone from commitment to quality to just plain ineptitude. They're just victims of their own hubris. They should stop congratulating themselves for every bit of progress they make on the game and just shut the hell up and make their game. Their hype machine is so stale now and they still got the lot of you constantly checking their updates for clues as to the game's release. What a terrible way for a developer to endear themselves to their fans, seriously.
Sorry, couldn't resist the opportunity.
