(Edit: Also added some kitties to make the reading easier.)
All of you should know this by now, but might have forgotten or just pushed it to the back of your head. Blizz initially stated that they aimed to release D3 at the end of 2011 if nothing went wrong. This implies that they probably could've released it then, but with a couple of bugs and most likely without the RMAH. If they really pushed the 2011 release, they would've included the RMAH maybe between the first and second patch of the beta. Maybe even in the initial beta release.
If Blizz say something like that they aim for 2011, you must know they really think they might be able to do it, since they usually announce release dates about 2 months prior to official release, hence they aimed to announce the release date in Sep/Oct, which at this point, sounds ridiculous.
In the meantime, after they announced the "early 2012 push back", they probably slowed down a bit and went over the mechanics of the game which required the most attention (AH and runes the 2 biggies) and of course the beta players' responses.
Likely? Meh.
The Blizzard ANZ tweet and the thread. It's obviously not an official announcement of any sort, but it does sounds kinda solid, depending on how you interpret the tweets! (most of us will say it's release, cause it's the most sought out thing in the universe atm. And it isn't the Full Opening Cinematic, cause it has been announced already) . If they do announce the release date at the VGAs (promoting myself a bit ), late Jan/early Feb is most likely.
I also read this regarding the RMAH and Rating(18+) situation in Korea. Blizz is still trying to sort it out (Translated) source:
Diablo III - Korea Ratings Under Consideration
As we approach it's release, players can review the ratings to see if it is within their age group and if the game is suitable for them. We recently contacted the Korea Ratings Board to receive a Diablo III classification. We are aiming for a Mature Adult 18+ rating. The ratings for consideration were based on the latest version of the game and they have been provided a full version with all elements of the game included. We will provide more information and progress of their deliberations sometime at a later date.
I'm sure this won't take long now, since Blizz recently contacted the Korea Ratings Board. But it did take long from beginning compared to already assigned Ratings in other countries:
US - M (26 Sep)(not necessarily the exact date)
UK - 15 (4 Okt-ish)
Germany - 16+ (31 Aug)
So why does it take so long?
The Auction House
There have been many questions about the currency auction house. An auction system like this is in some ways an unprecedented new effort, and there are different regulations and laws in other regions, which we are working on. After an internal investigation, we concluded that the auction house system is legitimate in Korea. However, we respect and are taking the classification system for each region very seriously. Blizzard has been working closely with the national regulation groups, and we are cooperating fully with the Korea rating committee. We are getting closer to release more information, and we will let you know the status soon.
This will take longer to sort out than the Rating. So yeah.
DO you mean the Gold AH? Then yes, otherwise no. The RMAH still has many bugs.Quote from jabroni85
AH is working great IMO, and i think Jan 24th but probably the 31st, first week in Feb at the latest.
Yes I think if they do intend to push the release back again, they will definitely not announce it!! Defecation will get accumulated in many people's pants!Quote from Brake Failure
I wonder what the odds of them officially announcing th their pushing the date back again are, or will they just not release it without formally stating, ok, late 2012 now.
I also think they might have pushed the release back another couple of notches: Do you remember the A Day In The Life articles? There were initially only 3 "issues" but there were recently added 2 more articles...
Blizz obviously wants to keep us busy/distracted. They spread out the info they're gonna release to the public between now and when the game is eventually released. Also the art, omgeez the art.
Just a thought though.
Edit: Hope this bring some perspective otherwise I wasted a lot of time doin this... <_<

FoxBatD2 posted a message on *Spoiler* Act 1 boss room ??Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from Astion
The floor is made out of a yellow'sh color pallet, which doesn't coincide with Act 1.
But does coincide with a act 2 desert style.
Because that has nothing to do with the low yellow candle lighting.
This is Diablo 3 Rainbowland. We've seen plenty of shots of the cathedral with green, blue, and lavender floors and walls, thanks to the extreme cartoony lighting. Look how differently the exact same tilesets can appear:
There's also none of the strewn sand that we have seen in the act 2 shots, along with floor being polished instead of cobbled bricks. Here's Act 2 interiors:

nineteen posted a message on Expansion Classes, HOW DO THEY WORK?Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Thanks for the feedback and comments. I think you're right. The whole soul stone thing made it apparent that maybe demons are not the best way to go. Maybe instead of having a "inner demon" they could have some other kind of malevolent, ancient evil creature trapped inside that grants them "demon-like" powers. I was thinking maybe Rakshasas and have the Heretic's ethnicity be a cross between Indian and Middle Eastern - rakshasas being demons from Hindu mythology. Also rakshasas are shape-shifters, hence giving the Heretics various different manifestations and also magic users, hence using the external "demonic" powers.Quote from Enkeria
I would like to see a whip-wielding class. Like a Belmont killing vampires and zombies
And about the Heretic idea. I both like and dislike it. Causing pain is a cool thing in Diablo, but not about having demons traped inside your.
I know the prime evils needed soulstones, but if you gather x amount of demons they should get a bit stronger, no? And there is no more solstones to use.
If its more like an ancient pain-god that grants them the power, fine! Or other things that doesnt involve "having demons inside in your body/soul". Its a concept we already have.
All in all, love the idea! - Demonic forces is cool "outside".
The whole concept of the Heretic is actually based on the idea I had for the Pain resource system. I think its different enough to actually work in Diablo 3 without really impairing gameplay or straying too far away from the norm.
btw, I would love to see like a beastmaster class or something using whips... - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

However, this might change in later hotfixes and/or expansions:
Unfortunately we never managed to get these implemented. They were a really cool idea, but a pretty huge amount of work. The one we showed of the siegebreaker was a scripted sequence we set up specifically for that video. It was never implemented, and never actually worked without someone sitting there typing in a bunch of commands to get it all to fire off properly. It’s still something we’d like to do, though.
All things considered there are just higher priority tasks sometimes. We’d love, for example, to have the monk display his weapons during all of his skill animations. But it’s an enormous animation and effects investment to get it done, and we have to weigh all of these things against other features and polish. A lot of the skills we could improve have multiple animation sets, multiplied twice for each gender, and then multiplied by each weapon type he can equip. That can be 40 or more unique animations, and then there’s a full FX pass, approvals, QA testing, etc. etc. and that’d just be for 1 skill.
We have our wish lists, but it’s a balancing act of resources. Ideally our choices when balancing go toward setting realistic limitations, and producing the best game possible.
