Patch Information in "the Next Few Days"
It looks like the next patch is really close. Stay tuned!

Constructive Threads
The Blues have no illusions that the game is in a perfect state, but threads that constantly point that out don't help them much.

stop acting like everything is alright with this product
This I think constitutes a sweeping statement, and this is exactly the kind of post that doesn't benefit anyone except perhaps those who are looking for someone else to highfive on how much they do not like the game.

And just for the record, nowhere are we acting or pretending Diablo III is the perfect game, in fact we have previously acknowledged more than once that Diablo III needs more things to keep people engaged and having fun.

Diablo 3 Music Video
In order to properly celebrate the first part of this news article we have something really special. Forum member Willyum and his band Hope Lies Within have made a music video for Diablo 3. You can see the video below and visit the original thread located here.

Just like to point out that the post is currently potentially misleading - a bit unclear as to whether the patch itself is meant to be in the next few days or whether a blog/some info about it is what's coming in the next few days. Looking at the twitter conversation I think it's meant to be the latter!

Yeah, I edited and put up "information" just to be absolutely sure.

Well, based on hints CMs have been dropping word on the street for 1.07 is this:

-looking at followers (set items actually working on them)
-reflect damage change via both from pets not causing damage to you and indicator of RD (Possibly like Invulnerable shielding but with Reflect Damage instead) so it's not constantly on.
-commented on making banner drops more interesting.
-profile update more frequent
-Longer and farther ping on legendary drops?
-looking at life on kill affix
-looking at thorns affix
-looking at wizard archon ability
-looking at one with Everything reworked
-looking at DH grenade rework

That's a few sort of interesting things, but considering how long this patch has taken, I would hope we get more, at least in terms of class balance.

@ The Facebook contest.....

Just wanted to point out that you guys never said anywhere (at least that I know, and I am a pretty stable Diablofans member) how people would be notified they won. I check the news post daiy waiting for details on winner announcements, and never seen anything posted. For that matter, it was never said if the Forum User winners were picked and notified (and how).

May want to announce how winners will be notified (I assumed it would be on D-fans, so never checked my Facebook mail) and leave up a few more days before giving away their prize.

If it was posted, I missed it, and I check news and Forums about 4-5 times a day, so I'm sure others missed it too.

How could we contact someone on Dfans with only their FB info
anyway the point of this IS that post to let people know

the forum contest people have already been contacted, and all have replied.

the forum contest people have already been contacted, and all have replied.

Normally after you guys run a contest, you have a news post that just says "Congrats to the winners of the XX contest!" and if its a forum contest, name them in the news or something along those lines. Thats all I meant. That didnt happen this time, and I assumed you guys just hadnt picked the winners yet

Either way, I didnt win
And now I know I can stop checking for the announcement LOL.

fix'ed.

They call diablo III not a perfect game only because it does not give them enough money to sit and relax on bahamas.
