Britward posted a message on Development Article Soon, What's NOT Delaying the Game, Zarhym on "The Big Meeting"More sense of entitlement and self righteousness from people who think they are owed something more than what Blizzard's delivering? Other than the fact that this is NOT EVEN REMOTELY DIFFERENT from any other Blizzard release in terms of information, they owe us nothing. Now, once the game is released, if it's buggy as all heck and has technical problems, that's a different story. But they are developing a game. So, it really doesn't make sense to be making any demands. Even with those of us who did the WoW year thing, there isn't much room for demands.Posted in: News & Announcements -

Poli posted a message on Blizzard owes you nothingI read these forums from time to time, as they are in reference to a game I am looking forward to playing. I am amazed at how some people think Blizzard owes you ANYTHING in regards to updates, release date, or whatever. Blizzard is doing a courtesy by telling us anything about the game they are developing. Hell, they didnt even have to announce they were making it! Granted, not having an announcement, or updates would hurt the final sales. But seriously folks. Step away from the ledge, let this VERY successful gaming company finish THEIR game like THEY want it, and then they will release it. They were within any right to just tell us in 2008 they were making Diablo 3, and then hear nothing until release date. There are too many posts about "If Blizzard doesnt announce the release date next week, Im done with this game!" Meaningless threats, as you know damn well you will still play the game, and its not like your post is going to make them hurry along any faster =) Does it suck it was "delayed" from their initial release date? Sure. Maybe you were better off never hearing of an initial release date, otherwise you wouldnt be whining about it taking so long, you wouldnt have known any better. Go out, have some dates, enjoy life for a few more months....from the sounds of it Diablo will be enveloping the vast majority of your life soon to come..Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -

Creepsville posted a message on Disappointment in BlizzardI have been a firm supporter of Kraft Cheese for a countless number of years. I have loved everything they've done for the world of cheese and the products they have released for our cheesy satisfaction. However, the amount of time fans and supporters have waited for a new product is getting borderline outrageous. This conflict in Korea with the cheese board is obviously holding the cheese back. It's absolutely absurd for Kraft and company to try and deny this fact and continue to string along the very people that make the company stay afloat and progress in the dairy industry. It's high tide that we (the little people) get recognized and get, at the very least, a date for release. This way we can have some semblance of peace knowing Kraft Singles is well on its way to making it to our fridge. Give us what we want Kraft, stop jerking us around. I think we have endured enough.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
Sincerely,
Cheeser in distress

Figures you just want people screaming the same thing and agreeing with you in your threads, even if your views are unfounded.Quote from Whenwilitbereleasedcomeon
If you don't like the post, get the hell out of the topic
No I'm not, you are!You're arguments
You're correct in that their RMAH model is going to revolutionize gaming economics. What that has to do with the entertainment in their game is nil. You won't believe me until the game is out, but this will win some game of the year awards, and it's not because Blizzard is money hungry.If you only knew a fraction of how the economics works in the gaming industry you would understand that Blizzard is about to revolutionize the entire gaming world. It's becoming quite apparent that they have lost touch with the true part of the entertainment value of the game and are becoming, or have become, solely focused on making as much money as possible. Whatever, I'm tired of ranting, you clones have no clue.
I've played every Blizzard game since I played Warcraft 2 in middle school and their PR/community interaction has always been top notch. Most developers don't even have forums, or if they do they don't have anyone really reading, just moderating. They just push out the game, maybe make a couple bug fix patches, and they work on their next game. Blizzard supports their games long after they're obsolete, I mean hell the latest Diablo 2 patch JUST came out. -

superfula posted a message on Poster with a countdown to D3's release.Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from LordRayken
Because Bashiok did not say, "We don't have a relase date. It's not February 1st." He said something about press release. Which to me, is exactly what Blizzard needs to say for me to know they're lying.

superfula posted a message on Korea Not To Get RMAH On Launch? Release Date Soon?Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionQuote from Greenjoke
Bashiok made a comment that the korean rmah wasn't entirely the reason for delays and then deleted the comment. The gist of what he said meant that the korean rmah definitely did play a part in delaying the game, but that there were other concerns as well.
I still believe that if the rmah didn't even exist that we'd all be playing d3 release right now.
Yeah, you'll have to do a little better than that. Find it in the blue tracker and give us a link.
There have, however, been several posts specifically saying the rmah did not cause the delay
.. Nevermind.. see the topic is RMAH approval in Korea.
So is that the real reason for the delay?
//us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/3710773312?page=19#362">http://us.battle.net...312?page=19#362" class="blizzsource">
Official Blizzard Quote:
http://us.battle.net...704?page=10#191
So that's the first blatant response from Blizzard. The link goes into more detail and explains that there is no one thing causing the delay, nor is there anything outside of the game causing the delay.
Official Blizzard Quote:
I don't know what translation you're reading but no where has it been stated the release of the game on a whole is delayed because of a GRB rating. Might it delay the game in Korea? I suppose no one knows, but we still have some time since the game is not finished. We're playing internal builds, the entire game, we'd know if it was. I'd know.
This was later deleted, but can be seen at the bottom here
http://www.diablofan...h-review-again/
Bashiok is quite clear again that the Korean RMAH did not cause the delay.
Then you have an Italian post back on Dec 12 http://eu.battle.net...44251?page=5#83

Official Blizzard Quote:
Although a launch of the game at the global level is always our preference, i would like to point out that it has not always been possible to release the game at the same time throughout the world and that this has not stopped the release of the game. Suffice it to think of what happened in China with the expansions of WoW, for example. Each region has always unique problems, especially when it comes to business model (Brazil and Russia for StarCraft II) or legislative items (China and South Korea).
While Zhydaris isn't as blatant as Bashiok, Z clearly reiterates the theme. -

freak8492 posted a message on It's Not Korea. It's Not WoWBlizzards beta's are always EXTREMELY polished. I said the same thing last year when I got into the SC2 beta, it felt like the full game. It's their need for perfection that is causing the delay. Blizzard holds themselves to such high standards that their betas could be passed as the final product for most other developers.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion -

The files for patch 1.0.7 look to have just hit, however as always please keep in mind the following before reading:
PVP Scoreboard Items
New Gems
Oddly enough, the sapphire gem was finally removed from the game's textures.
Marker_Legendary
CraftingMaterials_essence A-D
New "Spe" and "Diff" textures for essences are now in the files.
PVP Maps
This looks like the first one is a test area, however there are others listed in here, the second one looks like a real map. (there are more maps, without minimaps) There are also some nice new textures tied to these zones.

IMPORTANT: There is an issue with reading the non-random affix prop, it looks to be just one (the stat of choice) but can not confirm this. Also the cost listed below to craft may not be correct, as there is no way to verify if we are correct, please keep this in mind!
Update: The items switch between [+101 - 115 (of stat)] on some pieces, and others have [+201 - 230 of stat]. They switch off pet item (meaning the hands of int and dex might have the 201, and the strg and vit have the 101, but then the chest the int and dex have the 101, and so on.

"Helpful Hints of Sanctuary" Guide Contest

Second point. Any forum on a game like this is going to have duplicate topics, even if they have been answered . That;s okay. What you seem to have the problem with, was the last thing you said "Well, at some point there was one of these new threads and it completely got derailed, almost ending up in a flamewar between the theorycrafters in this forum and a group of pseudo-elitists posting in weird language." In that case, simply reporting the posters who are derailing it can solve the issue (and we usually try to do that, but with the vast amount of topics, one can easily be missed), but we want to make sure people can start a new topic if they so wish. A lot of people also don't know its okay to necro a topic as long as they are still on topic, so they feel better by making a new topic.
As for people splitting conversations , that happens on any forum there is, people want to split out of the main thread, and start a new one based on their thoughts. You say it his happens "right away"? but that does not happen that often (that I can see) it usually happens after someone provides a key point that gets overlooked in the thread, and they feel they want to discuss it, so they make a new thread.
However there are other times, were a bunch of people make the same topic at the same time as it's new info...or what have you, in those case (if it is 100% the same topic) we just merge it. This is also a time where you can just report the thread, and we would be happy to look and see. It could be something we missed.

If this task was done by ANY other user on our forum, without cheating, it would have been posted. The fact that we STILL posted it, even tho some people do not like Athene should show we care about news, and want to share it, regardless.
For those of you who do not care for Athene, then just don't congratulate, no harm is done. You should be more mad at us if we didn't post someone doing a mp10 naked Diablo kill imho (regardless of who did it first)
Also, with any world first like this, it will not interest some people, that is also fine. But you have to understand some do find this kind of task interesting. Have respect for those people.

I think you are looking at this all wrong. No need to panic at all.
They know we datamine information. They also knew if we just post that, People would go crazy thinking there are nerfs (when most of them will not be) So they were kind enough to say "Hey, youll be seeing something like this, but it wont be the full picture)
This information should have been posted only when we datamined the info, but there was an issue with too many people getting the info in this email, and then someone posted it to reddit (which shouldnt have happend, and was silly as seeing we don;t even have the datamined info yet)
But Its just a friendly "Hey, the numbers you guys always pull wont be exactly what you see at face value, let people know" that's nice.
