[QUOTE=junker|154;31224553]When does this come out?

I'm going to buy it with my friend. Coop will be fun.[/QUOTE]

they said they're trying to release it in late 2011 but i doubt that will happen, so it will probably come out early - mid 2012

It's insane how long Blizzard is developping this game. A year ago I saw a lot of gameplay footage and it looked very fine and finished. Well, at least they know what they're doing in terms of balancing.

Better wait for a good game than a rushed piece of trash.

I can only imagine how long it takes just to balance loot drops properly. I've always had the suspicion that it is exactly that problem that game developers stumble over when trying to make a Diablo clone.

If you're a developer, you need ungodly amounts of man hours(and the money to pay for them) just for that one part of the game. How tempting it must be for most of them, not having Blizzard's cash flow, to just create a half assed loot system and call it good.

All of those were uploaded a week ago actually. See [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/743515-Diablo-III-Megathread-The-Heavens-Shall-Tremble?p=31171789&viewfull=1#post31171789]my post[/url] in the apparently old megathread.

Additionally when they were uploaded, I made some [b]fakes[/b] to show how the interface will look on the Battle.net account management site with Diablo III beta going public.
