Diablo 3 News Watch
The goal of this thread is to put the rapidly growing amount of news and rumors that are building up around Diablo 3 possibly being announced at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational.
Re: Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational
Last year Blizzard announced Starcraft 2, this year many rumours are floating around that a Diablo 3 announcement is going to take place.
It would make sense to use this event to announce what millions of fans have been waiting for.
Also, i would like to point out that June 29th is the Diablo 2 release date anniversary. What a perfect day to announce the next Diablo.
Re: Blizzard Job openings
There is a large assortment of job postings for some "Top Secret" game. Many of the postings begin with this "The team behind Diablo I and II is looking for a". It's obvious that they are working on another game, and hopefully the team behind Diablo I and II are working on III lol.
New job postings as of 3/14 - 4/5 of the job listings that day were Diablo related.

More to come...
Blizzard North was on bad terms with Vivendi for ignoring them when they asked to speak about their future, because Vivendi had many rumours around about being sold.
Rofl. Exactly. It was funny though. I'm personally supprised nobody believes him, what with this forum being so damn gullable...
Anyway, forget the guillotine, there are things worse then death. *Giggles evily.*
As in this forum and every other Diablo/Diablo3 forum is really gullible over rumors and such.
I will admit I did in fact change some of the stuff in my post before I considered posting it.
It did look a lot more impressive than that. lol
You should see the stuff I posted on another forum.
They were eating it up like crazy!
At least you guys aren't stupid.
Well I hope that Diablo 3 is announced. I'm getting a bit tired of all these "signs" that point to it.. yet Blizzard never follows through for the Diablo fanbase.
I really could care less about how many patches they release for D2:LOD.
I'm sure Blizzard's Metzen has arranged a wonderful plot no one saw coming...
I'm too busy designing my own stuff.
I don't care what they do as long as they leave out the "Heaven V. Hell" thing. I see it in too many movies. They really need to blow our minds with some new and unique.
I dunno if I'd like the whole teleporting to Heaven thing.
I mean what's Dark and Creepy about that.. unless of course they do give Heaven a Dark look based upon the idea that it's full of demons running around up there.
But of course.. who's going to be leading Heaven? God?
The Angiris Council
I really have to read The Sin War. >.<
I've really gotten too caught up in my current projects.. I need to come out from under my rock. lol
I'd have some comments and questions here, but I think I'd get this whole thing off topic, lol.
No - This site will most likely be given over to Blizzard much before the announcement of Diablo III - Hope fully we can move somewhere to talk still :cool:
