Oh and everyone watching the Inferno vid and raging about how fast getting there has been, note the youtube top comment:
What you don't see in this video is how they got to skeleton king. They had to have their wizard run/teleport around the dungeon levels, while freezing the mobs he couldn't bypass otherwise, looking for the entrance to the next levels. All because they kept getting schooled everytime they meet a champion/rare pack. They were able to defeat Skeleton king because he hass the same abilities on inferno as he does on normal, and thosse abilities are designed to be easy to avoid.
Because everything you read on the internet is always true.
or see...
the whole thing was live streamed and they selectively chose to leave out in recorded videos what was actually kicking their ass in act 1
Blizzard already admitted during the best buy interview that boss abilities largely didn't change between difficulties. Long before that we knew that champs and rares would have more affixes and thus more abilities for us to deal with in higher difficulties.
With such speeds ferno will be beaten this week1 today
This was expected per Bashiok due to exploiting or cheesy tactics you really should be watching their streams and not just posting the articles.
They are skipping nearly every dangerous mob and exploiting the AS helping res bug (which is on the known issues post).
Good analogies were: Taking a helicopter near the top and climbing the rest and claiming first to the top.
Watching a video at 10x and saying you were the first to watch it.
They're the first to beat bosses, but they're only getting there because they're able to do what Jay said (in an interview during the media blitz before release) you wouldn't be able to do and that's bypass the hard mobs. So exploits as well as the fact that they aren't even playing the game as it was intended.
If you really think it's time to complain about killing bosses only making the game way too short, then you don't know how to play Diablo. These guys think what they are doing is relevant and too many WoW nerds are taking the bait as if world firsts have ever been totally legit.
The only thing wrong on Blizzard's end was not mixing up bosses to do more things in higher difficulties. I was really disappointed when I heard that but it pretty much proves they want your top challenges to be rares and champ packs so perhaps the only softcore achievement we should consider is first to clear all combos of champ pack/rare affixes.

OOhh thank god we have inteligent people in this world!
The only time I opened their stream, they were wiping on a rare mob at act 1, and it was at least the 10th try...
I love how Method thinks that beating the game on inferno is to kill act bosses when they prob couldnt even kill a single elite/rare spawns. Fire Chains, Extra Health, Teleport, Illusionist talk about a killer combo god with enrage.
