Verity posted a message on System ChangesI 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..Posted in: News
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

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.. -

Verity posted a message on Spike TV, Facebook Initiative Info, CE Items Update, Bipolar AH, Error ReportingPosted in: NewsQuote from fluffylittlebunny
RE CE wings...I am pretty sure there is also an official Blizzard quote somewhere in the forums that says the wings can be taken off, put in your shared stash, and worn by other characters. The biggest question was what happens in Hardcore mode if you die
Yeah that was what was said before and when they were asked about hardcore Bashiok couldn't say. The solution: Give every character you create a pair of wings (as is the case now). That way it doesn't matter if your hardcore character dies with them.
Quote from Tyragu
I'm confused. I don't see anything in the mentioned source about the beta being up for another two months. The only thing I read there is that the Facebook Sweepstakes are halfway done. They didn't say the *beta* is halfway done!There's still roughly two more months of opportunity to get selected into the beta (Source)!
What he meant was there's two months left of the opportunity to get selected in the sweepstakes. There will still be opt-ins of course and we have yet to receive any date when the beta is going down. -

Verity posted a message on Book of Cain, More Beta, and Fan ArtConsidering the huge amount of pre-orders on the Book of Cain I suspect the demand is a bit more than they expected at BlizzardPosted in: News
So not surprising if the book is a little bit later than expected. -

yeah, I can't wait to try the new changes to DH resource system. I was underwhelmed with her at first so I am hoping they have made some great changes to that class. Especially because it was one of my favorites to begin with.
+1! Except I kinda like her even in way she is currently in the beta. But the changes are just going to make it so much better!
It's almost a bit sad to say goodbye to the characters though *sniff*
Then again I feel kinda like an ass complaining here.. I'm in the beta after all. -

Getting to and killing the SK (solo or group) takes about 1 hour (first time) give or take, doesn't vary that much with the different classes since it's such a short path. If you rush it you can do it faster though, but yeah. Just killing the SK isn't much of a speed test at all since it's just the very first levels.

Yeah I've been a bit inactive, haven't had much time in front of the computer at all really. New job and friends taking up all my time in this "RL" thing..
So yeah, haven't really been posting much or touched the youtube channel either. Maybe I'll get back to it in the future

As a former member of the news staff I can pretty much assure you that they want news to go out as quickly as possible with minimal delay whenever possible. If you catch drift of something news-worthy that is not yet posted and see someone in the news team online at the moment send them a quick PM with a link and description. Being in the news team means you have to be alert, but they can't always spam F5 on the blue trackers and sometimes time differences and other stuff gets in the way.
Additionally the online list shows online in the last 60 minutes so they might not still be on even if they are in the list :).
Obviously since I'm not part of the team any longer I cannot answer if they've actually changed any policies in how they do stuff, but yeah.. my 2 cents

They haven't announced anything but they've had events for all Blizzard titles so far and several other games.
