I am willing to bet that they will have the Beta at gamescon. That is why the 16 is mention. I am sure they want to do something for the Euro community since there is not Blizzcon here.
The thing is - they stated that beta will start sooner in NA, so why announce beta in EU?!
No they said they would be rolling out the server in stages, meaning that EU servers may not be up and running when the beta starts, not that european players cannot participate.
Also internet has no oceans, so it doesn't really matter where it's announced.
You misunderstood me - I don't have anything against being extremely hyped up for the game itself. I am - I can't wait to fight my way through to Diablo and kick his butt half way cross the country, really. I'm just trying to be nice to you, warning you fellas that when you're accepting the "beta on Gamescom" mindset, you might be really disappointed and pissed off.
Can ya' blame me for wanting D3 community to be happy? And have lots of unicorns and rainbows?:)
Fair enough. After your first post or two on it, I just started to get annoyed at something in your posts.
Guys, take American chill pill (English in Russian accent)...
All in due time, it keeps being a discussion of one person saying it's gonna happen and the other says it won't... Useless, just a few more days and we know.
I've been waiting and speculating on this forum for over 5 years. I can assure you, this discussion is more than useless!
20 bucks says Tuesday is a slow burn into depression as hours go by without a beta date or any relevant info, until the point at which we all unanimously agree that there indeed was no announcement and we all once again huddle together, shivering for the warmth of hellfire and continue to wait.
If indeed true that they didn't announce any news on beta and you didn't get Path of Exile beta invite, all is not lost since Bastion an acradey action rpg will be out on the 16th. Lots of positive review so far so I'm buying this game. It's 15 bucks that lasts 12-14hours of gameplay which is not bad for action rpg game.

I love all loot fest kind of game! I will be playing all of them for the next few years. Loot fest games I'm looking forward to: LotR: War in the North,Torchlight 2,Borderlands 2 and of course Diablo 3.
Isn't it strange for them to go out of their way and specifically say they aren't going to announce anything at gamescon?
Either they got ticked back at our depression resulting from the conference call flop or they're hinting at something. I mean not only is it vague for them to talk about it at all, but to talk about a specific date? Especially considering they're teasing us with the "this quarter, update your beta profile settings, the beta is coming soon" stuff.
Despite all that I'm going to be realistic/negative and guess nothing big will be revealed up until the end of the quarter where they finally push even the beta back, and we're looking at a more realistic 2012 launch.
Sc2 pushbacks scarred me for life! I can't be hurt like that again!
We are talking about Gamescom a lot... But does anyone know if the event will be streamed somewhere live? Or do we just have to wait for the info to reach us here? I live kinda close to the event but can't make it this time
I think I read somewhere that the Playstation network is going to be having something on it but I would need to double check.
Another thing that you may consider against the possibility of the Beta being announced tomorrow is that they clearly said that they would announce every game mechanic before the beta, and there's still some left, just as HC Arena's deaths and the number of characters allowed per account.

The rune stone system is still up in the air as well. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe PvP or rune stones are actually going to be in the beta.

So now they are letting us down intentionally and will surprise us with betaTM.
I like the sound of that.
No beta date announcement.
Nothing else, maybe a cinematic.
Beta will start end of September/early October.
Only a couple of us will make it in.
Release will be delayed to early-mid Q1 2012.
DEAL WITH IT.

I would love to hear news about the CE.
