Go win that contest Umpa!! :Thumbs Up: :Thumbs Up:

Crap there goes my march 27th bet :P...

Love your work on that piece Umpa! I take pride in being one of the "real diablo fans" who called out details such as the awesome frog

I must say I'm liking the changes. The previous stats with uniform attack, precision and defense just felt kinda dull to me. There's almost no way of knowing "this is a Monk weapon" since most weapons were equally good on all classes..

Apart from that I feel most of the other changes are adequate.

I'll just relax some.. obviously a shitstorm of upset fans scream of delays and whatnot... meh

It would be great if a wave of invites went out soon after the patch.

Didn't they say something about this already?

I remember reading something about "many" invites that has yet to be sent.

Well, at this point it's clear they are messing with the game. Last year they slipped up and admitted they had been given more time to work on game systems because of the korean delay. So now that they've been screwing with runes and everything else they actually do have to put it back together again. So you could honestly blame the current delay on them reiterating a reiterated reiteration.

Either way it's definitely good news and I'm glad we can move forward.

That's the point of iteration. Reitarate means to repeat the same action many times. People say it like it's something bad but it's how Blizzard makes games.. it's been working well so far imho.

But yeah, good news nonetheless. Now as someone said above we'll either get a release date soon with all the conspiracy kids going "I was right it was Korea!" or we get nothing for a while and the same people will go "It's still Korea but now they are pretending like it wasn't!"

Had 5 people watch it on comps never watched on, its missing for them,

its a cache issue.

Yup, was just weird because it followed cross browser as well. But it's gone now for me as well.

Still kinda strange that they'd remove it imho..

UPDATE2: It seems the following parts in the video below have now been edited out on the live page.

Uh, they're still there when I watch it.

Just rewatched for the 4th time to verify (I hate that you cant skip ahead in that damn thing)
They are still removed. Make sure you clear your cache if you have watched it before.

Still there for me as well, cleared cache and everything. Also, I can skip ahead in time :P.

New parts start at 10:20..
What did they put there for you if it's cut out :S?

Have you tried both eu and us?

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Since we celebrate Christmas Eve here in Sweden it's already over for this year. So now I'm just relaxing and spending some time reading the Book of Cain...

Cheers!

Nothing exciting, but still good to see they are addressing crash issues. =)

I don't get the big fuss about this, it's been happening for a long time already with other platforms such as Steam. It's just a very good way for the companies to be able to "secure" income.

If we were able to pick it out from the account to real cash then they'd have to treat everything as loaned money. Now they know that once it's in the Blizzard Balance it's only exchangeable for their products so it's "safe" to use it to invest/evolve the company.

And as said there will still be a cash out option available via PayPal if you sell stuff on the RMAH and it will be done on a per-auction basis. Aa previously said, nothing surprising here.

Looking forward to the artisan info! Thanks for the heads up.

I can still see the article at both http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/4024156/Currency-Based_Auction_House_Beta_Testing-12_1_2011#blog
and http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3368502/Diablo_III_Currency-Based_Auction_House_Beta_Testing_-01_12_2011#blog

I'm quite interested in how exactly that will work in regards to bidding, selling and buying and calculating prices.. soon..
