Do we actually need to wait for two more blizzcons to find out about the last two characters?? Because I'm guessing blizz wont just announce the two classes just like that. Anyone thinks that we going to have to wait until some big blizz event or something, idk..?
We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive. Tupac Shakur

I dont see why they should announce the last two characters at all... All the more surprise for when the game is officially released. Did they announce all the characters before the release of Diablo 2?
plus, you forgot about World Wide Invitationals

Wait, they didnt announce some characters before D2 release? I never heard of that lol.
I have no idea if they announced all the characters or not before Diablo 2's release... I was wondering if you knew :rolleyes:
Its always good to look at their other games though
Ill see if I can dig up some old 2000 news articles eh... ^_^, see how the character releasing timeline worked for Diablo 2

lol, thats actually a good idea. You can also find out how long it took for an actual release after the last character announcement lol
They showed all 5 characters before the release. That was April 1 2000. Diablo II was June 29 2000
On that site shacknews, you can look at lots of really old 1999 1998 news articles.. All the links are dead though

So it was 3 months after all characters were announced. But I dont think it would be that easy to find out how long it took between each character announcement. It might not even make a difference, lol, since its two different games. Maybe we're wasting time
LOD: 2 months
TFT: 3 months
BC : 3 months
WOTLK: 5 months (assuming it's released in december 08)
===Time between announcement and release:
SC : 1 year and 10 months
D2 : 2 years and 9 months
W3 : 2 years and 9 months
WOW: 3 years and 2 months
BW : 1 year
LOD : 9 months
TFT: 4 months
BC : 1 year and 6 months
WOTLK : 1 year and 4 months
So, based on the averages:
===STARCRAFT II
19/05/07 : Announcement
09/09 - 11/09 : Beta test
12/09 - 07/10 : Release
===DIABLO III
28/06/08 : Announcement
01/11 - 03/11 : Beta test
04/11 - 11/11 : Release
But based on the fact that both those games are already playable, it could be MUCH sooner.
Is it bad if I want Diablo 3 to be released in Q4 2010 or early 2011? I will be deployed to Iraq for a year next year and when I come back, I want to play D3 at the beginning with the rest of you people :).
But.. JESUS 11/11?!?! WHY MUST YOU DO MATH ON HERE :(?
Im thinking that Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 may be exceptions to logical analysis
Diablo 3 has been in creation for how long now?
And Starcraft 2 is so freakin' huge they're making 3 full sized games out of it
i'd expect one new class announcement right after April 1. First a false announcement, then the real one. Blizzard usually does that kind of stuff. Maybe the last in the WWI with the beta announced for the next months. The fact that Diablo 3 is playable gave me much hope for an earlier release (maybe summer 2009).
But i am expecting more of a they put a class on a page and tell no one about it till some one actually wants to go to the class page and look at it >.<

I laughed when I saw this comment at year 2000 - "I'm looking forward to Starcraft 2"

You should consider for how long have these other games been kept secret and in development? Its a part of the equation...
Kinda sucks, it might take them more than a year to even release D3. So to sum it all up, we were waiting a decade, well almost a decade?
But i am expecting more of a they put a class on a page and tell no one about it till some one actually wants to go to the class page and look at it >.<
