Just some news I russled up grom diii.net




The sourcing on this one doesn't even rise to the level of "rumor," but it's gotten enough Diggs to show up in some gaming news feeds. So here it is. Battleforums is citing an anonymous source who hints, without any explanation, that SC2 is being delayed and D3 will be released first.

It's unlikely Blizzard will bother to refute this, so if you're wondering, there's no evidence for it. There are a lot of people on the D3 Team, but there are a lot on the SC2 team also, and according to our resident SC2 experts, production of that game has not been slowed or delayed. By everything we've heard from Blizzard guys, SC2 is well ahead of D3 in its development cycle, and the D3 Team has frequently said the new Battle.net 2.0 features should debut with SC2, which clearly means that game will be released before D3.

But hey, making up (or debunking) rumors is a good way to fill the news on a slow weekend. *cough*



So quite possibly we may see Diablo 3 alot sooner than we expect... I for one at least hope so and I think it would be a pretty cool thing for Blizzard to do, annouce at blizzcon that it will be available in early 2009 would be a treat!


We received news today from an anonymous source from inside Blizzard, confirming that development of StarCraft 2 will be largely postponed until Blizzard's recently announced, and long-awaited Diablo 3 is ready for the market.

[Starcraft 2] is still being worked on, but only by a minuscule amount of people compared to what [Blizzard] put on the Diablo 3 team.

This has yet to be confirmed officially by Blizzard, and I personally doubt they will respond. Because this information was leaked unintentionally through a casual conversation with one of our staff members, we can not reveal the name of our source publicly - so to protect this individual and his/her position within Blizzard. Nor can we say that this came directly from Blizzard.

Nonetheless, this may be good or bad news to you. Personally, I don't mind - both games are equally sought after in my opinion.

We will do all we can to keep you updated with the latest.

Bashiok made a post on the B.net forums with an interesting tidbit of info about the Skeletal Shieldbearer monsters in Diablo III. Unfortunately, the thread he made that post in was very troll-infested, and has since been deleted. Fortunately, some of our forum regulars spotted it and copied out the useful part.

Dude you seriously have too much time on your hands.

Not sure if this has been asked or talked about but here it goes... I know Blizzard hasn't announced any specific system requirements as of yet and I know they lean towards the Idea of it being playable on a wide breadth of system specs, So I'm curious to know if there will be an option to play it at low, medium, high, ultra high settings ala Doom 3, Crysis etc... I remember playing diablo 1 and 2 back in the day and your machine could either handle it or not... but there was no graphics/sound tiers.

***For anyone considering a trip to this year’s BlizzCon (October 10-11 in Anaheim, California), tickets will go on sale worldwide on Monday, August 11 for $100 each through our website***



so when exactley is this taking place... on the 10th and 11th? how is that possible if it says tickets will go on sale on the 11th... ??

I made a thread similar to this, and now I see I did not need to...

Totally agree with all of you! The site is tooooooo slow! Just look at the starcraft 2 site! It has updates more often than my visits to the toilet!

Agreed, and I drink ALOT of beer, It may well be early to mid 2010 before we see this puppy on the shelves... could be the reason for the lack of updates thus far, they possibly just might not have enough materlial to draw on at the current development stage.

you sir are a retard

*** bump ****

yeah your right I give up on my cape/cloak idea.... would look kinda stupid now that I think of it

Looks pretty sweet, but come on 300 bucks U.S!! even though the u.s dollar has taken a dive lately.. it's still too much.. even though I could afford to get one and it would look pretty cool on the corner desk here... I still don't think it's worth that much, I'd pay 150 tops.

can't wait to prance my barb around in a big bright red cape... will look pretty awesome when doing whirlwind, cape will be spinning around like a monkeys ass in heat...

why not an orc class? that's right up blizzards alley....

but I like elves

How about an ELF ranger then

what about the idea of having a insect/spider type class... maybe he's half human half praying mantis something like that... or running a spider around sanctuary would be cool too.
