How good is the countdown anyways? Why should I bother coming around on May 1?
Would I come up clean and spare you 10 days of agony, if I didn't know there is still some good behind the May 1 announcement? [grins]
There is some merit to the announcement. Sadly it is not what we are all awaiting and craving for years. But it is a step forward in its own rightful positive kind of way to what fans are craving for. Hope this quick FAQ may help some people. I am a fan too, and I really don't want people getting way too excited than they should by following forum rumor mill threads.
This is all I needed to know

I'm going for new concept-art, maybe a new map for Sanctuary or something like that.
You let me down MedievalDragon.... You let me down.

What is normal? Normal is a concept that everyone or a majority of people are the same or similar. However, we know that everyone is unique. If everyone is unique, then everyone is different. If everyone is different, then everyone is weird. If everyone is weird, then everyone is normal.
Is it about BlizzCast Episode 3
BlizzCast Episode 3 was recorded many days ago. It is probably been edited and distributed to the localization team. For that matter, there can't be an ETA. It will be out when it is ready. Once episode 3 is translated to all the Blizzard supported languages, the web designers will prepare the webpage code for a simultaneous release. I was told the questions I gathered from the diablo3.com community won't show up in Episode 3 and probably nor in episode 4. By the time I had submited these questions there had been months prior to that of hundreds of questions submited by the World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2 communities. It will also depend on whether the Diablo II Team Developers are available at the time a BlizzCast is produced. Sounds like they are busy folks nowadays. Fret not, our questions are on queue. They will get answered on BlizzCast format at some point. The most I can say here is: BlizzCast 3 is coming out soon. And no, the May 1 countdown teaser isn't to announce BlizzCast 3.
That would put Blizzcast ep.5 out around the time of WII wouldnt it? I guess that would be a good time to mention Diablo dev's.....
well there have been 2 previous games so i don't think a movie announcement is so far fetched but what i really want is a diablo 2 patch with a new game engine, 5 new acts, new enemy's, new bosses, 10,000 new items, and new classes.....so diablo 3 basically...
Diablo movie idea will not live up to the hype that the countdown has created. Also like mentioned earlier, Diablo is like 8 years old and whats the point of making a movie on it now? However, the Diablo board game sounds very interesting!!!! Anyone want to come over and play my Diablo board game?

You really want the next Diablo game to have the same graphics of Diablo II? You want to stay running in the center of your screen for the rest of your life? You don't want groundbreaking new physics? No guild system? No mounts?
Well for demons it would probably be something ugly.
For humans, probably a horse or llama,
and for angels - probably a chariot or a fully pimped out white stallion.
Whatever comes on May 1st will be somewhat small in the large scheme of things, but big enough for the hardcore D3 people like us because it will be the evidence that the game is on the way. At best the site will go under ownership of Blizzard, at worst a serious hint or something similar will come out.
This is all coordinated and done to hype up the Blizzard invitational when Blizzard will definitely announce D3. The dates match, the time is right, there is considerable buzz for a first time in a long time, and even Flux from dii.net who has some serious connections with the diablo people came out of the woodwork all of a sudden and created a "all we know about d3 so far" wiki... Everything aligns together, the hints are out there for everyone to see.
Doom was based off the game. Mars and its moon phobos under attack by demons coming through a portal. doom 3 is nothing more than a slight remake of the orig, with some new twist added in
Fantastic 4. is Spot on with the movie. Doctor dooms trying to conrtoll the world and were gonna stop him.
Tomb Raider. is close to spot on.
i think a diablo type movie 8 years later isnt to far fetched
I don't know about you guys, but if they did use the countdown to announce a d2 patch, I would lose it

Because if the invisible guy the president believes in isn't the real invisible guy then the real invisible guy gets mad and no longer powers our economy with his invisible hand. Jesus, have you never even read anything about economics?

It's time for change!!!!
thats what a game engine is....lol
EDIT---
oh and no i dont want a WOW clone....WOW sucked ass and diablo is a much better game...i want them to stick to there roots and make it close to the old one
Things the May 1 Announcement are not:
1. It is not an official announcement of Diablo 3
2. It is not about an upcoming Diablo novel
3. It is not a Network merge
Is it about the Diablo II Patch? Blizzard officially hinted of a Diablo II patch in an interview from China when the Zerg race was unveiled. I have stalked four Blizzard folks, and haven't gotten any updates at this time. I might be given a follow up, hopefully.
Why wasn't the Diablo II Patch on the official list? That leads me to believe that it's unclear whether it will be mentioned. Possibly a special Q&A with some blizzard members on this site?
