Blizzard Tease Us For Things To Come.

Posted 31 July 2012 by Rushster

Blizzard just tweeted and posted a teaser image on their facebook page for something that will be coming soon to Diablo3.com. What it is we don´t know, but my guess is that it is the Armory.

  • Or maybe something related to multiplayer?

  • The real question is – who cares anymore?

  • Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re starting to talk about the first expansion already. There’s nothing better to soothe complaining customers than building up another hype…

    • not a chance. not before the item rehaul and PvP and certainly not 2.5 months after release

      • Yeah, it would be unusual, to say it mildly. But considering the ongoing ****storm Blizz is getting over D3, it just wouldn’t surprise me.

  • its 100% the armory. The funny thing is, this was “COMING SOON” back on may 11th.

    Look at the similarities of the ‘secret screenshot’ to the one posted in that blog.

    “Shortly after the launch of Diablo III” … *sigh*

    • This was my thoughts exactly. Beat me to it.

    • This is way overdue. Unfortunately, so many people are sour on the game itself now that I doubt it’ll stir much interest as it would have several weeks ago.

      Don’t know what happened to Blizzard, but they are not acting like the company we all once looked up to.

      • This is nothing new to Blizzard. They have always done things on their own timeline with a very specific target audience.

        WoW armory came out back when I had a 3GS. What was that, 3 years after the app store came online?

        Only after great amounts of time have passed do they finally target the hardcore player – D2 patch 1.10 (Uber diablo) coming out 2 years after the xpac and 1.11 (pandemonium) in 2005!

    • Yes, “soon” back on May the 11th is around August of the same year in Blizzard’s calendar (TM). :)

      Someone must have worked out a formula for this ‘soon’ malarkey?

      But I agree with the others it’s the armory as that’s the Barb’s equipment background.

      • this shows when blizz ‘soon’ is:

        Now ?————– Very Soon ——– Soon —————? End of Time

        • They should always rate things in Diablo II terms to avoid confusion. On a scale of Corpsefire to Baal, this better damn well be a Pindleskin.

          Every time people see “soon”, they should automatically think Radament.

  • Ye armory….very… exciting….

  • Nice, will give me something to do on work breaks. More importantly, perhaps this means they are close to being done tweaking legendaries.

    • Pretty sure the actual programmers working on the Armory aren’t the same as those working on the game itself. Sure there is some overlap, but as soon as the functions to export the data to XML or SQL Database is done, the main work is to create the Web interface, which is more than likely done by Web programmers, not C++ game developers.

      • Agreed, but not my point. My point is that if I am responsible for getting a weapons-based feature online, I do that when the weapons DB is finalized. I don’t launch the site and then 2 weeks later say “oh wait, come back to the Armory, we just tweaked legendaries”. You tweak legendaries as THE selling point for the new Armory. Nothing to do with team overlap.

        1.04 can’t be far off, so the timing seems right.

  • It’s either an armory. Or a D3 platformer. Haha

  • Wait you guys thought that was Diablo 3? THAT WAS THE DEMO! We trolled you hard!

  • Can’t think of another feature of D3 I care less about.
