Hate to say this guys, but they have to answer to stockholders.
This could mean a q4 release in 2012 since they have no hard deadline to really meet now, they've already lost the money they would have made in the meantime plus christmas sales (unless they get craft and do some fancy xmas preorder package).
Glad they are taking their time. It wouldn't be a blizzard game if release didn't get delayed. I was expecting this. I think everyone should have been expecting this.
Sucks they pushed it back, and what crappy timing to announce it. Right when they release closed beta, "Welcome to D3!! Enjoy the beta, you'll be here for a while." Starting intensive schooling in February, no D3 for me.
I don't know why others kept saying, you should have expected this. I sure as hell didn't expect this. Hell retailers were pitching for november. I just hope they don't cancel the damn game as I was looking forward to it's release.
I'd rather them just release the game buggy. Bugs in games never really bother me...
Of course people in beta don't seem to have a problem with waiting. Well, i'll just say... it's easy to wait for dinner when you've already had a little snack.

They said 2011!!!!! WTH, I say Open beta is due until this entire game is released I've been waiting for so long, since it was announced and now its pushed back!!! please open beta so we can at least try a part of the game since we will have to wait another 4 or 5 months
I thought for once since everything has been waiting for this for so long they would actually keep there word on a release time frame but I guess not! Oh well nothing we can do about this, it is what it is, but now since it has been delayed until 2012 we are going to be waiting until at least q2. From what I have seen from the posts for bugs this was expected. Would be nice thought since it is being delayed for such a long time if there were a lot more people were sent out invites for the Beta

It just not adding up - they have had months of internal testing and coupling that with such a limited amount of content for the beta - what are they testing and trying to fix?
It just doesn't add up. And when you casually think about how many subscriptions they are losing from WoW - because of D3's iminent release AND the new patch that is to make WoW appealing again for players who left....I smell strategic holding of what players want, to try and salvage what they have lost.
I (no joke) blame WoW and the Power That Be at Blizz for delaying because of this. Again - tell me some facts about the D3 process thus far that adds up to "we need more time to polish the game."
I agree with Polrayne, and you know what someone will come on this thread and say they don't owe us an explanation or anything for this. Well Im sorry but last time I checked, it was US the FANS purchasing there products correct. Do you think they would have a job or anything if no one every purchased any of there games I DONT THINK SO. I am not asking for a detailed review or anything, but a little insight of why the have pulled the plug on release date for 2011, be it either bugs to fix, or server issues, anything, just to have a progress report out there. A couple Months ago there was a game schedualed to be out, and they pulled the plug, guess what the developers of that game did, stated why the changed the release date, and for the inconvienance of doing this they also offered a ticket for everyone that did a pre-order to get a FREE game (now I understand that there has been no pre release so not saying anything for free) but how about an progress report as to why this was done) - Doesn't matter what you say WOW is part of Blizzard so yes I think they are milking Diablo 3 for the fact they can make alot more money from it then Diablo 3 with a new patch being done for WOW - same thing with a Car Manu - if they have one line that sells 100 cars a day and has another line that sells 10....hmmmm I wonder who they are going to pay more attention to.
I think you forgot the "I'm pissed at Blizzard for being completely unable to follow or adhere to any kind of time table, and I think they're ridiculous." vote option.

I get the same thing and no one is telling me anything
‘I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL WE ALL HAVE AIDS!’—The importance of calling them ‘mercenaries.’
