College is work if you're actually taking a hard major, but that's another story.
I for one will not participate in any beta even if there is one. I want to play the final version of the game when it comes out. I don't want to play beta, and then not be as excited for Diablo 3 to finally come out because I had already played a beta version.
NO ONE here has even bothered to mention the fact that SC2 is such a big game they've had to split it into 3 segments, origionally it was not planned like this, and was going to be a single game, the sheer work load they had for 1 game is immense and chose to split it up, as much as i love diablo, i dont think the story is diverse enough to be that large and take so much time to create, it pales in comparison to what blizzard can do with the starcraft universe.
So please stop comparing starcraft to diablo, there is NO comparison on there release dates.
Also who the hell said they would balance SC2 over time? Errr? Hello? This is starcraft, if its not perfect on release, it WILL sink, simply because players are expecting that level of polish, its why SC2 will be beta tested furiously, and you wont see it before 2009 christmas because of that level of required polish.
SC2 needs so much more attention than diablo, infact diablo has already recieved barrels of attention if what the devs say is true, how long has it been in production? Its had its engine redone 3 times.
Putting a date on a blizzard game is impossible, but ill be damned if it takes 1/3 of the time it takes them to put all SC2 on the shelves.
I am not comparing, its the same for all blizzard products, they take their time. There hasnt been 1 game they release that is not "delayed".
About SC2 being split into 3, yes it will be a huge game, but that doesnt indicate it will take longer to release the first game. They arent finished with the first game, and that why they are not releasing beta.
And why should D3 be a smaller game, that does not make sense. unless you played both.
I'm thinking, because it is Blizzard, 2016?? They have only done 3 classes and have apparently been working on it for 4/5 years so for the other 2 classes = 2/3 years (2011/2012 at least) and then ALL the other work, I mean apparently they only just got onto the second act, I mean WOW!!?? But then again they might be able to put more people on the job after SC2, so being a little more optimistic: End of 2010??
But I don't want them to rush it and bring it out end of this year or something, cause then it would REALLY suck. And I don't even care about the beta, cause I wouldn't go for it, the beta would ruin the excitement of the actual game...
I CHOOSE YOU, NECROMANCER!!
p.s., oh! and I don' think that Blizzard would bring out a beta... Cause too many people would make bad judgements too early, and then no-one would buy it... plus Blizzard is not the kind of people to just give out "draft" copies, they are perfectionists...

Witch Doctor + Wizard = Necromancer No Necromancer = :confused::O:(
Im not sure about a Beta release, but my question is more off topic, The new class Blizzard released " The Archivist " Is this real or what, because there seems to be some confusion on this and im not too sure either :confused:. Id like to get this settled.
Also when do you guys think Diablo 3 will be released?

Hey man! The archivist was an elaborate April fool's joke pulled by blizzard people.....
After researching on the forums here at diablofans I found out that it was just an updated model of deckard cain which was all made up just to make an a** out of us gamers!
Hope this clarifies ur doubt!!!
Does any-one have a vague idea as to when will be the D3 beta announced and whether or not it will be Battle net members exclusive or will it be open al over the world???

Generally you should plan for large announcements to be given during major events.
E3 is June 2nd through 4th, but I don't think it'll be likely that they will make any major announcements with Blizzcon so close.
Blizzcon is August 21st and 22nd, if they will be planning a public beta (which I won't think they will) they may mention it then. And if we're lucky they may annouce a new Class, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Then they'll continue to announce additional informaion on old classes and bestiary stuff till Blizzcon 2010 and if all classes aren't known then they'll probably annouce the last one and hopefully give us a release date for the game.
I'm definitely going to try and go to Blizzcon 2010.
They will most definitely announce the 4th class this Blizzcon. Then they have the next year's WWI to announce the 5th class, and Blizzcon '10 for the release date (if we are really lucky, and they hurry up, which they probably won't as they never do).

Just because they have not announced the classes doesnt mean they are not done at all... In fact they have said multiple times that the other classes are done and they are just tweaking everything.

Lies.
The last they said, is that fourth class exists in the game, but doesn't have it's own model or visual effects.
lemee ask u guys somethin. if blizz isnt very accurate with their releases, like when in0luck said "They also said they were gonna release 1 wow xpansion every year, it took them 2 years lol," it should be possible that D3 accidently set their release date too FAR ahead. and its also possible that it could just release before SC2. if we know blizz for their miscalculations, its possible to go both ways. hmmm.....

ok sorry for double-posting, but there are two points i want to show. i remember reading earlier today at ign.com about Diablo 3. there was an update saying that blizzard will not be making it to E3 2009. also, wasnt there a code for beta testing on the back of the blizzcon tickets?
anyway, a little off-topic but, is blizzcon 2010 always in mid-august in California? bcuz i want to go but i live in FL.
Except that each Blizzard team works on a separate game so D3 team working on D3 has nothing to do with them delaying WoW expansions. They just always take way too long with all of their games.
And no, D3 won't be released before SC2, and that was officially confirmed. In fact, it was confirmed that it won't be released this year, and I can't think of another big reason for a Blizzcon this August except announcing the release date for SC2 (later this year). It adds up. In another interview they said that hey are shooting for one big release a year for the following few years, so hope that 2010 is the year of Diablo 3, so to say.
@LJ16 - Those were just my opinions, and you're probably totally right about E3 its so close to Blizzcon I could totally see Blizzard just skipping it entirely.
@Dimebog - I completely forgot about WWI. But I've been looking for when its going to be held in 2009 and haven't found anything, only that its supposed to be in Shanghai.
Either way I think we can all agree that Blizzcon 2010 will be "High Noon", its definitely going to be a tough ticket to get.
What is Q1, first quarter?

In fact, game sales are as high as ever, even with this "economic crisis". Video games are the one thing that keep selling, even right now.

Yeah, but you have to consider you live in the Netherlands and that just sucks.

The fifth class is only on paper.

Lets hope that in the august Blizzcon we get a new class and most probably a demo of D3 and Starcraft's release date of October 09
If Blizzard does that that will make everyone's day!
