Most of us are eagerly awaiting the release of the third installment of the Diablo series. Since Blizzard hasn't announced anything remote resembling a release date it is time for some unadulterated guesswork. Wrugoin (http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/member.php?u=319026) already started the Unofficial Diablo 3 Release Date Pool (http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=694605). A capital idea, but the thread proved hard to manage. This new thread will be managed by me until an Admin decides otherwise.


Rules

1. One Vote per account.
2. Make a post with your date in this thread. Motivation is optional.
3. Date format must be (DD/MM/YY).
4. Must have at least 10 posts on Diii.net to attempt to limit new account creation votes.
5. Pool will last until an official Blizzard announcement is made concerning a release date.
6. Winning date will be determined by the actual US release date.
7. If multiple accounts have chosen the same release date, the winner will be the one who first chose it. The runner up will be the second person etc.

As of now there are no prizes for the winner. This may or may not change depending on the Admins.

Don't think they will make it in 2009 hence the 2010 bet.

Seems like there is still a lot of work ahead and a lot of potential problems. It seems that with game development, projects tend to take longer than expected, especially when there are a lot of new features that never have been developed before (b.net 2.0 for example).

I loathe the American way of writing dates. Just as I loathe their system of measurements.

AkumaSlayer
26-12-2008, 06:24
I agree, the American date format and measurements are silly and unnecessarily complicated. But on the other hand you could say the same thing about England's currency. The best idea is to have a full metric system, including currency - like in Australia or New Zealand, or in some European countries.

Looks like there's lots of guesses on fall 2009, summer 2010 and fall 2010. Since the new information about 4th and 5th classes came, I'd put my money on summer 2010 - maybe on the "diablo day", June 29th. Too bad I already guessed :)

Looking at the release date list, you guys are very optimistic and highly unrealistic. I think your memories have faded about the push backs of diablo ii and even starcraft ii. 2012 at the very earliest.

i read on digg from some fairly old yet reliable sources that d3 will be coming out before s2...?!

Clair de Lune
13-01-2009, 22:40
The history always provides a good guesswork of what's in the future.

I remember anticipating for Warcraft 3 every day. When it entered private beta, it took about 3-4 months until a public beta was released. After the public beta in autumn, War3 was released summer of the following year.

Now I'm pretty certain SC2 will be out before Diablo III. DIII doesn't even have the acts completed never mind balancing and play testing.

SC2 will be out Thanksgiving/Christmas of 2009 at the EARLIEST. They haven't even entered any form of beta yet. It'll be finished by probably Summer of 2010.

DIII? :laugh: We won't see it until end of 2010 at the EARLIEST. Probably more like mid-late 2011

Wolfgang Abenteuer
13-01-2009, 23:50
Tuesday seems to be a popular release day for videogames, and you just know they wouldn't release it on a Friday because then we might actually be able to concentrate at work/school on that week instead of either staying awake until 4am playing or thinking about the game all day (or both :D ). That said, I'm thinking a spring release for this one. It's which spring that's going to kill me. ;)

I'm going with 20 April, 2010. (20/04/10)

I graduate in 12/2010 so I am hoping for a 2011 date. If they release it sooner, my graduation date will have to be pushed back. My diablo addiction started when I was in high school and it comes before finishing my degree. Come to think of it, I did not start my degree until I was bored with Dii.

January 11, 2011 (All entertainment releases are on a Tuesday) Package & Ship Friday recieve Monday, store shelves Tuesday.

Now that Blizzard has committed to a 2010 release date for D3 (http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzard-confirms-diablo-iii-for-2010/), I'll stop fence sitting and put in my guess for the last Tuesday before Xmas. December 21, 2010. Stuff that in your stocking!

Although, knowing Blizzard and their release date history, especially on the Diablo series, December 31st would probably be a wiser bet.

This game looks awesome. i'm more of a starcraft fan though.
someone tell me, is this game one of those games where you just click
on the monster and your character attacks it, and its really not hard at
all once you get past? level 50? or do you acually have to have some skill with the mouse.

I don't know atm. what I've formerly stated here, but I would like to change the bet to december, 21st this year.

It just hit me after reading another rumor about the december release about why it's actually possible: SC2 is delayed because of workings on BNet2, isn't it?

So for D3 there will be the need for unique functions in the BNet2-System. The system for D3 itself is nearing polishement, as I was free to conclude from Kotakus review of the gamescomclient. And it's simpler to add new functions to a system before release than patching them in afterwards - not to mention that unforseen bugs could lead to the necessity of rewriting the whole code, which would be difficult to sell after already releasing the core system. I for I would put back the esports-part of bnet2 (and thus SC2), which core is integrated essentially and only needs to be debugged, evtl. balanced and polished, to work the 2nd game in the line into the system, eventually making it first i.t.l. with the same decision.

Therefore: Dec, 21, '09

My release date: June 28 2011

Bashiok has stated on the official forums that the game is still under 'heavy development'. (About the build shown at Gamescom yday)

The inventory still needs some work, and the rune abilities cannot be used in this demo, as some journalist pointed out, meaning a lot of game facets are still under heavy work.

And looks like we are just beginning to see Act 2, with next year's Blizzcon probably rounding off both acts 3 and 4. I also doubt they will release both remaining classes this year, if they show one at all. And then AFTER they show the remaining acts and final class/es, the game has to go into Beta, which takes a lot of preparation, testing time, and feedback time, and probably last minute changes which take more time. Blizzard love to take their time, we all know that :P:P

I just hope this Blizzcon isnt a huge disappointment. *sigh*

For me a nice release date would be February 2010, their 20th anniversary of their founding.

But REALISTICALLY, looking at their recent failures on any of their game's or patches' deadlines of all franchises .... mid to end 2011. Not earlier. I would bet my money on it. There's a bigger chance SC2 and a WOW expansion come out in 2010.

Look at how long SC2 fans have been waiting, and it was promised this year, but its a no go. Dont expect D3 to fare any better, call me a pessimist, whatever!

Oh, and Blizzard wouldnt DARE to give us a release date after the SC2 and D2 patch fiascos .... if they do, I will simply add a +200% modifier on top of it.

As you've pointed out later, even the internal beta-phase can be considered heavy developement...

Or they just don't want us to see, what they got together already. Don't forget: As the first demo last year, this one is scripted and polished for the two cons. It may even be they've running a different demo on Blizzcon.

And looks like we are just beginning to see Act 2, [...]
What made you think the areal shown is from the 2nd act? Because the Act2 of D2 was set in a desert-region? Duh...

The only real (and acceptable) argument you brought here.

KK... my estimation was based on the logic possibility, that a certain rumor may hold truth. So it's far from beeing solid. But it was not the first rumor about a 2009-release as internal target. And there are also rumors around for a while, stating that Blizzard plans to release the game before even given out any releasedate. As the final surprise for us hyped herd of fanbois.

Don't deny something just because it sounds ridicule for yee. It's speculationtime out here, anything is possible and no one knows, how far they really are.

Are you implying the game is in beta phase right now? No way. Beta phase is when its ready to be released for public testing, Blizzard's policy is not to keep internal Betas but put them on PTR's for fans to play and test.



What made you think the areal shown is from the 2nd act? Because the Act2 of D2 was set in a desert-region? Duh...

Yes, a big duuh. So far it seems they are keeping a similar structure to D2. Also it makes sense to show Act 1 and then Act 2, not Act 3 and then Act 5 and then back to Act1, maybe? Duuh

In fact, if I dont see jungles I will be very upset :( I hate deserts and Lut Gholein and wish they didnt include them, but anyway thats a personal and irrelevant thing I just felt like adding though :)

I wasnt replying to your post or denying anything ... In fact I dont know what you are talking about. I was replying to the thread title as an independent post.

And we've had millions of D3 release date rumors ... all fake. So please... Shhh

Like I said, be logical and realistic. Look at the trend of development schedule they follow. They take things very easy, which is OK in a way if the final product is super top notch and worth the wait.

BUT ... we are in for a loooong wait brother.

The rumor I've mentioned (originating form a Blizz-Europe-employee, as it said) mentioned an internal beta already running. Also, albeit 1.10-patch of D2, there weren't any open betas for this game-universe yet. Blizz North is no more, but the difference in handling may still apply...

Yeahh, it makes it seem so. But Blizzard is now newbee in decent marketing-propaganda. And building up a game like it's predecessor is a bad marketing-propaganda. Making it seem so previously to release is not. As far as we know it could even just be a later part of act 1.

In fact, if I dont see jungles I will be very upset :( [...]
I'm totally with you there. But I also would like to see a "normal" deep forest areal, together with other areals unfamiliar in the Sanctuario-universe up to now.

I wasnt replying to your post or denying anything [...]
That I knew. I'm sorry I haven't pointed that out in my previous post. If you want to reread what I've posted, it's only one to one and a half pages above.
Edit: Oh yeah, you ARE denying. You're denying the possibility that Blizzard is further in developement that they let us think...

And we've had millions of D3 release date rumors ... all fake. So please... Shhh
One rumor is definitively fake. A dozen rumors, together with the officially released (sometimes seemingly unconnected) infos can give you a hint (and nothing more, yep) to what's really going on.

Like I said, be logical and realistic. Look at the trend of development schedule they follow. They take things very easy, which is OK in a way if the final product is super top notch and worth the wait.

BUT ... we are in for a loooong wait brother.
Like i said: We're in a time of speculation. There are only few facts around and a lot of rumors, so it's more like building up a conspiracy theory when talking of future developement. But you're right. I'm thinking more of possibilities than to sceptically argue anything down: The world becomes bad enough by itself. No need to speed up the process...

As to realism: It all comes down to the marketing-strategy. And there I see only a few, tiny bits of info, where there should have been many big pieces available. Considering that Blizzard tends to announce their games only if they're at least halveway solid, it indicates a closure on info up to release, or perhaps open beta. Although I wonder if they just simply use release to finalize the internal one, thus concentrating on a heavy patchwork-phase afterwards (... as they did with D2 and LoD).

Nothing is forbidden. Anything goes. That's speculationtime for you... [place jingle here] ;)

Blizz Europe? Is this a rumor on the Internet or something you heard? Do you know the guy or know someone who knows him? Can you vouch for its truth? Etc etc

Yeah I know about pre-1.10, but its been their recent policy after that to do open betas, with anything include simple patches.

Its also been mentioned somewhere that there will indeed be a public beta of D3.


As far as we know it could even just be a later part of act 1..

That would be AWESOME. 2 environments per act. WOW. I must say you are an extremely optimistic person :P


I'm totally with you there. But I also would like to see a "normal" deep forest areal, together with other areals unfamiliar in the Sanctuario-universe up to now...

Scosglen. With the Druid Oak Colleges. And dense forest canopies with weird demonic lighting at night time. OMG
And another jungle city like VizJun or GeaKul where we actually get to see a mighty Eastern city, not a dockside and a few ruins like D2's Kurast.
And a huge epic fight in the Arreat crater shown in the trailer leading up to the Bastions Keep, hopefully its some gigantic tower ala Orthanc from LOTR.
And Ureh.
And some dockside city like Kingsport.

Hopefully some in later acts and some in the expansions, but they should all be there! That would be EPIC. Kinda O/T, but anyway.


Edit: Oh yeah, you ARE denying. You're denying the possibility that Blizzard is further in developement that they let us think......

Not denying as such, it might seem like that. But from what I see and the feeling I get, anyone can see there's a good chunk of development to go ...

If I knew the guy, I wouldn't call it rumor, but info, and would be starter of a rumor since... ;) It's the typical "a friend, of a friend, of a friend works at..."-kinda thingy. And I just love to speculate :)

I think we should hold the discussion right here and call it a truth, because we obviously agree to disagree, both only based on the feelings and thoughts we got from the information already out as well as the ongoing speculation. And we will only be abel to deepen that. (But it was fun discussing with you :) )

Either you go from smallest to largest (dd/mm/yyyy) or from largest to smallest (yyyy/mm/dd). Going from middle to small to large (mm/dd/yyyy) makes no sense. There is no logical reason for it.
