Who thinks we'll be seeing a beta version anytime soon? The wait is killing me and with all the changes Blizzard has made from D2:LOD to D3 it seems they'd be at least slightly interested in the opinions and suggestions of the meek and feeble masses that pay their godly salaries.
Basphemy!!!! Do not say it will take even longer for just the beta to come out >.<.
You'll jynx it =o
Anyway, yeah i would like a beta ver. to come out at some point in my life time... although i have no idea how i would obtain it, having no job, car, or any form of transportation yet... but.. I WILL FIGURE IT OUT!!!.

I am one of many...
Do not consider me insane or crazy, I am but a person who seeks a change in the life styles of life we must live.
Conformity has no curve.. but is a circle at the same time...
Do not judge me for attempting to change the way in which i live my life, while i slowly change the lives of those around me...
For when i am gone.. the world will have changed... if only slightly. But when i am gone.. others will take my place...
Too many optimistic minds, remember its Blizzard. People were saying SC2 beta were gonna come out last year, look what happens now. There is no way they will release the beta before the end of next year.
They would release a game in 2010, and seeing as how much they already worked on it, a small demo like that of Blizzcon 08 might come out on Blizzcon 09.
And perhaps we could play it. After all what we had at Blizzcon 08 was a demo, just one we could not play at our own residents.
You know, I'm actually really surprised that somebody didn't get their hands on a copy of that demo and leak it online. Sounds like something people would have been trying to do.
However, best case scenario is that they give beta keys to people at blizzcon this year, within a few months the beta opens, and within Q4 of 2010 it will be released. I hope that this will be the case, but Blizzard is infamous for its released push-backs.
It was most likely only playable on Blizzards very own computers. So you could not get it. xD
So there were no copies at all. :rolleyes:
But I think a Demo might spoil, so I just want them, instead of making another demo.
To work on the game so it can be released a week earlier perhaps? xD
That's what I've been thinking.
I'd imagine that any demo they release at Blizzcon will be parts that they worked on for the actual game so the only thing they'd really be doing is confining that material for Blizzcon. I don't think they'd make content for a demo that isn't seen anywhere in the game. That would be quite a waste! I know the gameplay video was structured for that video, but I'm confident that we will see places in the game where those segments of the dungeon is utilized.

To say that is to ignore what Blizzard themselves have told us. SC2 holiday season 2009 and Diablo 3 sometime 2010. That's what makes since considering a game a year released as they've said.
I do and dont like that theory, i like it because it makes alot of sence and that will be just after my birthday:D, but i dont like it because i dont want to wait that long but its pretty obvious that it will be a long wait. As for betas i think that they most likely will only do either a closed beta or just a beta thing at blizzcon or WWI

They also said they were gonna release 1 wow xpansion every year, it took them 2 years lol.
There might not be an open beta of D3 at all. And the earliest I think they could roughly finish all four acts and have all five classes playable in the game is early 2010. And they take at least 1 year of iteration on every bit of content. So don't expect D3 to be out anytime sooner than late 2010, and that's if Blizzard rushes it like they haven't done with any other of their games.

Yes, but WoW isn't even half as important as Diablo 3.
"Diablo3 > WoW" for around 10000 times.
Which means they will take extra time to make sure it's perfect.
If they work for a full year, as hard as they can... Well it's not so hard to finish a good game then. It's not a question; can we do it? It's more like: should we do it?
Most of them have huge experience in what ever they do. You could make a good model in less then a week. If around 5 people work on models. You could have around 5 models a week.
It's just that they wont work 24/7 more like 12/5. xD

Though, SC2 is much harder to create. If the game isnt balanced right at the start it will fail..
for D3 however, it will be balanced over time.
Release -> Mid 2010
Thats my bet.

If they worked 12/5, we would have Diablo 4 now.
We don't need them to work faster.
