Chris Hartgraves from WasteLandsGaming.com, former employee of Blizzard Entertainment, has sent us word that Diablo 3 will be aired at Blizzcon.
From what we've heard Diablo 3 is going to be an MMO, as massive as World of Warcraft, with the concept of Hell invading Heaven. One rumor going around with Diablo 3 is that there will be Guild Housing included. The game is said to be looking brilliant and will be showcased at Blizzcon as their big suprise.
Word also has it that Starcraft 2 is already in development for the PC.
I will say this in what I saw in the expansion when I was let into the secret development side (to move furniture out and make room for new designers) - They had one of those white boards where you draw ideas and stuff on ... Guess what - They have big plans for you to be able to do fighting while you are on your mount. I saw a couple drawings of MOB with mounts that you will be fighting ... the notes "70-75+" pop out as well as these will be in the Outlands, which is the new area in the expansion.
Basically the way expansion is set up is you go through a portal ("The Dark Portal") to enter that section of the game. You buy expansion, you get to go through that portal...
Wanna know the huge leak that no one yet knows (except you Gator cause I told you a while ago)? It is about Diablo 3. Last week they had a thing called "Show N Tell" which they have every 6 months to all the full time employees - Anyways Diablo 3 takes place in heaven. Hell is trying to take it over and it is AWESOME looking ... I magine the brightness of heaven being taken over by the darkness of hell ... Imagine WoW but in a Diablo world in amount of size and playability ... Also, guild housing is available in this game for those of you who know about it. They should have a gameplay demo to show at BlizzCon.
That is not the huge leak though ... Wanna know the HUGE thing they are introducing at BlizzCon?? Diablo 3 - Hell is invading Heaven and that is the concept of the game ... It looks awesome - Darkness invading light and all ... They showed it to us at this thing Blizzard has twice a year called "Show n Tell" for all the regular employess.... All I have to say is Diablo 3 will be on epic preperation like WoW will be except they are going to have guild housing FINALLY! - There was a rumor that WoW was coming to 360 which is completely false. Blizzard tried to squash the rumor saying it was just going to preview new MS Vista software ( http://1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3145078) but Diablo is what they are really going to show coming to 360 ... Ghost is too late in development and a big fuck up in Blizzards eyes and stuck on the PS2 - XBOX
In regarding the Alliance race, as it's currently unknown:
It will most likely be Pandaren. They have already planned those guys out for the most part ... But the reason there is no information of screens or anything is because they don't have anything honestly. Look at how shitty the video is that they released today - It is mostly all concept art fused with very little actual footage - They have nothing to show us beyond what they are showing at BlizzCon, and trust me, they were struggling to finish that.
Pandarens are %80 gonna be the race although they are tossing around other ideas ... Hero classes will be in expansion as well
In regards to if there will be new class in the expansion:
No new class is currently planned as far as I know ... they are having a hard enough time as it is balancing the current ones =) -
In regards to Dark Portal and Ahn'Quiraj opening events:
The opening of the Dark Portal will be a big big event however I have no idea what it will be, and I am not even sure if the developers know what it will be. As far as Ahn'Quiraj, that will be released in 1.9 (looking like the first week of December) only a few people know how the wall will be opened exactly, but many say it has to do with gaining exalted status with Cenarion Circle. I have been past the wall and can say this for sure: There are way too many floating monolisks (you will understand when you go in there) - The main dungeon is connected by worm tunnels and it is really cool looking. I wish I could tell you more about it - But as with the expansion (or lack of) ... They just haven't made it yet.
Player Housing:
As for player housing - Highly doubt that is coming since Guild housing (guilds in D3 will be able to invade another guilds town and destroy it) and is a big feature of D3 I wouldnt see why they would want to take away from that.
The main thing you will not notice after 1.9 but they will start testing out randomly is Battlegrounds with groups on other servers. This will make for really, really epic Battlegrounds between the mega-guilds when it is fully implemented. They will also implement a ladder system where Guilds / groups do BattleGrounds in a tournament fashion. There will be a ladder page and you can challenge other guilds to a BattleGround - You beat them and you move up in the ladder and they move down ... It will be huge.
And siege weaponry:
As for Siege Weaponary I have no answers for you there. Have not heard anything about it before I left...
-- Update:
It seems the source was wrong, at least about them debuting it at Blizzcon. Let's hope for an E3 introduction.
For your information, not many here doubt Diablo will come out to begin with. We are only interested in getting it out as fast as possible.
Second, gaming sites always make their own estimations. I saw PC Gamer saying that Baldur's Gate 3 was coming out in 2006, but did it?
Third, they are working on it, but as I said first, no one doubts it. Their statement however does not indicate a realease date whatsoever.
Fourth, how can the announcement be at E3 when the realease (according to this) is early 2007? Early 2007 for me is jenuary/february and march. E3 is after that.
And fifth, when did Blizzard ever announce a game a couple of months before release? Not going to happen.
