"The development team is working hard to try and launch Diablo III this year," said Morhaime.

"We will not compromise the quality of the game in order to hit a window," he concluded.

Don't hold your breath, I suppose, but keep your fingers crossed. What a year this could turn out to be.

Awesome. November is about right for me, I can play some over Christmas. Will have to get some groups going! I have high hopes for some fun dungeon crawling.

Can we change the title though? Keep it from Silent, since I think he has some addiction issues to work through.

Diablo 3 BETA this year.

Not quite as exciting. I'm not expecting the full game this year.

TheKeck · 05-09-2011, 04:57 PM

So, I loved the crap out of Diablo but never played more than about an hour of Diablo 2, so I'm not sure how I feel about Diablo 3. I really enjoyed Torchlight, though, so I guess that's a good sign.

Diablo III and Skyrim at the same time?

I completely missed that, although my Nov est was judging from adding several months onto what is usually Blizztime.

Trying to remember when the SC2 beta to release time was... I know I could look it up in the SC2 thread but I'm feeling lazy.

Be nice if they make it in time for the Christmas period though.

*ahem*

Diablo 3 This Year?

I don't really care. I'm just being a pedantic jerk and found it funny that you used the exact same thread title.

Lies and propoganda! I can quit any time I want.

Vigil80 · 05-09-2011, 06:27 PM

It never occurred to me that this thread would have been made two months ago, or I would have posted there.

Well then, good to see them making more noise along these lines.

Darkmatter · 05-09-2011, 09:20 PM

Theres no way in hell they're going to have a 4 month beta to gold timeline. Thats way to fast for Blizztime.

Narradisall · 05-10-2011, 06:30 AM

I think SC2 was about 6-8 months from Beta start to Gold.

Thinking I'll try to sign up and throw my hat in the bundle.

Gorvi · 05-10-2011, 06:34 AM

This would make me very happy.

My hat's in there for months now, doubt that will make any difference.

Narradisall · 05-10-2011, 10:37 AM

Just realised I was already signed up via my preferences. Ah well, wait and see.

Ditto! Pleasant surprise. I don't think we'll see the release of the actual game until March or so if they're starting the beta in Sept. That's about en par for a Blizzard timetable.

Wilkz07 · 05-14-2011, 10:26 AM

not unless blizzard gets hacked, then its delayed.

resikel · 08-30-2011, 07:07 PM

Just watched an interview over at Gametrailers that's only a couple days old.

The beta is still on track for end of September with a release of 2011 if things go well. I'm getting excited!

SilentScreams · 08-31-2011, 02:36 AM

Me too! I can't wait. I know, I hide it well, right?

I'm still torn between Wizard and Witch Doctor for my first playthrough.
Wizard because I've always been a Sorc in D2, or Witch Doctor because he's just so damn cool!

Narradisall · 08-31-2011, 06:08 AM

Witch Doctor has minions yes? I'm on a black out on this one, but I don't think I can resist a Necro type character trailing along with my horde of minions....

SilentScreams · 08-31-2011, 06:41 AM

Yeah he has minions. He looks like a mix between D2 Necro and WoW Warlock.

Narradisall · 08-31-2011, 06:46 AM

SOLD!

I'ma get in this beta..... you see...... YOU'LL SEE!
