Aug 04, 2007 - 12:34 AM - by mockery A rep from Blizzard just sent me notice that there would be no more announcements at BlizzCon tomorrow (Saturday), so for those of you (ie: all of you) who were hoping that this would be the day that Diablo 3 was finally confirmed, I'm sorry to inform you that you'll have to continue to wait. We all know that it's eventually coming, but the waiting for the official confirmation of the third game along with some idea of what it will be like is a really hard thing to wait for. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured it would be best to tell you about this now rather than have you guys waiting around all day Saturday hoping that we'd hear more about Diablo 3. Thanks for sticking with us though... Blizzard is listening to us and sooner or later (ok, later) Diablo 3 will become a reality.
In other Blizzard-related news, the rep just sent me word that our own Umaro participated in the first-ever Starcraft II tournament with Loc Teinh (from w3roc.com) on his team and won... [Read More]
Theres no way blizzard would tell people if there is or is not an announcement, would they? Even if there is no game, they would want to keep all their plans secret until they are ready to release information.
I know everything about D3 is rumors and speculation, but im sure blizzard has heard all the rumors, and would want to keep the community on its toes, and not say anything about it...
If this is true, its like they dont want to make Diablo 3, and dont want to make the Diablo community happy...

Spot on there mate, imo.
Exactly, why would a rep say there are no annoucements tomorrow, i know D3 rumours etc are floating around, i think rather than harping on this, we just wait.
1:We still have no idea what the beta key is for.
2:We have heard nothing on "Team 3" though nothing imo that happens at Blizzcon will result in them telling us what they are/have been doing.
3: 2 products are "supposed" to be announced, so i have heard, so lets just keep out fingers crossed
That picture captures my feelings of the post by Mockery immensely.
First of all, are we sure this was even a Blizzard rep? Second of all, what Blizzard reps go along the floor telling people what's going to happen next? That is bullshit. Plus, I bet dollars to donuts that this "rep" knew he was with Diablo3.com.

It's time to welcome the other 80% of the color wheel to a Diablo game.
@Darkzor
Yeah, im really anxous to see what the beta key is for, i hope its not for the new WoW Expac, but i wouldnt doubt it... Although if it was, they probably would have said something when they announced it. I wouldnt doubt if we dont hear anything about Team 3, supposedely what they are working is "Amazing", but if its not near completion they may keep that a secret. But ill be really dissappointed, and im sure alot of other people will be, if they dont even mention Diablo like back in 2005. Was it official from Blizzard that there were 2 announcements or was that a rumor too?
@Dead_Metal
Your right, we dont know if it was a Blizz Rep. or someone just trying to get attention.. Im hoping its the latter. Cause then theres still a chance for Diablo 3 this year. Thats a really good point, if the "rep" did know he was with diablo3.com, he may give false informaton on purpose to make it an even bigger surprise when they do announce something.
I worked yesterday, but i was on the site most of the time reading, and i work half a day today, so hopefully when i get home there will be somthing related to Diablo... but like everyone is suspecting, the gap in the schedule at 5:30 could be the Diablo 3 announcement. Ill probably end up playing Diablo 1 or 2 today to pass the time, information from Blizzcon cant come fast enough!
if blizzard announces a simple patch with a bit more content and a fix for all the hackers, then i would be pleased. anything would do, as long as i can play it one day on my computer.
Team 3 is unknown, for all anyone but blizzard knows it could be a WoW movie, Diablo movie, anything... It doesnt mean its the Diablo team. I have faith in blizzard, always have, always will. I may not agree or understand all their decisions but in the end, they will pull through.

I call total BS. That guy doesn't know anything, sorry.
It's still going to happen. What the hell are they going to do for 12 hours at BlizzCon now anyways? Play marbles? F that.
D3 is coming, and it will be announced.

Who doesnt know anything?
I'd make sure you understand what everyone is talking about before you make comments about what people know, when you have no idea.
Have you looked at the schedule? There is pleanty of things to do today. If your a fan of World of Warcraf or Starcraft, just cause it doesnt involve Diablo doesnt mean there isnt anyting to do but play marbles. http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon07/schedule.shtml
I thing Diablo 3 is going to be announced today too, all im saying is that no one, for sure what Team 3 is working on.
You guys, Im just thinking you know if blizzcon is made to celebrate all three franchises wouldent you think they would announce it a blizzcon instead of GemCon just one month down the road... I just think it would be cool for a company to have all three of thier sucesses at one event in stead of split, but then again You have ALOT of people at GemCon...

It would be amazing, but unless they are far enough along to have a demo of all the games, not many more would attend GemCon, if they dont have a demo, then whats the point, Blizzard isnt going to announce another game... but if there is a demo at GemCon then it would definately be for the best to announce it now.

They said they were wroking on two, after SCII was announced. Team 1 SCII Team 2 WoW Team 3 Unknown.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
ya, team 3 unknown *wink, wink*
wow movie is already in production.
