I knew this was going to happen. IMHO I think one of the main reasons is SWTOR along with other things already mentioned.
There are other major releases coming out in the next few months like SWTOR, Skyrim, BF3, CoD MW3, ex. All these big games are coming out at around the same time and a lot of people play all these games. I don't think people are going to be able to spend $300+ in 2-3 months for all these games including D3 if it came out this year. So Blizzard waiting till next year for people to cool off from those releases and get pumped up for theirs is the right move no matter how to look at it.
I love all the people crying about something that they knew was going to happen but were just in SUPER DUPER denial. I mean come on haven't you learned anything from SC2. Blizzard never puts things out when they say they are. It doesn't matter to me though, Blizzard always delivers on their games so waiting as long as I knew I would have to makes no difference to me.
So who doubts Max Schaefer now about what he said a month ago.
Blizzard/Diablo 3 is too big to care about other releases. People have been waiting this game for more than 3 years now. Who gives a shit if Skyrim and COD are released this year as well? People will still buy diablo 3 and play this game either way. Sorry but you are wrong. They are pushing back the release date cause the game is not ready. Or at least, not ready enough for them to release it this year.
"Diablo III adds new control options to the classic Diablo II hotbar, like mapping skills to mouse buttons and switching between groups of ability mappings by holding down a button, to make using your skills during combat quicker than it's ever been."
Can someone explain to me what it means? I thought we only had access to 6 active skills. Does that mean that if I press for example SHIFT, it will give me access to a second set of skills? Which means we would have 12 total actives skills?
I never played the game yet so I'm kinda clueless.
