Wouldnt they do an entire media blitz for at least half a month before releasing?
For a week.
so, who else is getting sick on April 17th?
A) It's an online only game, it affects it far less than most games.
B) It isn't broken or even buggy, it's a complete and functional game and has been. This is Blizzard we're talking about.
C) They can do a lot in a month, they just have to press the discs sooner, but since it's online only, that is totally irrelevant to what the game plays like on day 1.
Runic really shot themselves in the foot by waiting this long. A release anywhere near Diablo III is just complete failure, and I really can't fathom how they let that happen. I would buy Torchlight II in a heartbeat if it released now, and I'm sure many others would as well. If anything the D3 hype and impatience would have generated more sales for them.

I haven't played the beta in a while. They've added runes?Obviously not in the beta. They just revamped a whole lot of shit and completely fucked up the rune system.

What about consoles? *Gets spit on*
posted in OP:
someone else asked jay wilson if he can "debunk or confirm the rumor of april 17th?" and he replied "i cannot debunk or confirm."
gamestop UK and amazon italy both have it listed for april 17th!
Why? So you can sit at home for a week and try to log into Battle.net and be unable to add anyone to your Friends list, and then when you try to make a game it lags out instead? No thanks, it will probably be at least a month before you can even play it judging from how the beta version of Battle.net performs. I'm going to go to work on the D3 launch date like it's any other day, and casually drive home from work and get my Amazon pre-order copy from the mailbox when I get home.

Indeed, they keep scraping and remaking elements, which is fine for Blizzard to do as they have the money. It was supposed to be out in June 2011.
As it is, I am sure most loot crawl fans will drop the $20 on it but they will miss the many people who will be too busy min-maxing their Monk or playing Arena's.

Again, no they didn't. You don't like it, but it is perfectly functional. That does not equal fucked up.

Customizability in skills before endgame is pretty much out the window.
Runed skills are better than unruned skills.
You can not get all runes until max level.
There are no more rune levels.
Everyone gets the same runes at the same levels.

There is an entire difficulty they don't expect you to play before reaching level cap. Hell difficulty is entirely balanced for people that are level 60. So yes, customization in skills before endgame is out the window since the entire point is to get to the end game.
No, the game is not ready for release. This patch was added, what, 2 weeks ago?

so basically you have horrible opinions
World of WarCraft: Game was unplayable for, what, a month after launch?Neither do Blizzard.
Don't you feel like there'd be some kind of large open beta, and a bit more hurrah, if it was releasing in only a month and a half from now?
What the hell are you talking about? It was the smoothest MMO launch ever.World of WarCraft: Game was unplayable for, what, a month after launch?

I remember servers dying for 2-3 days at a time well into 2006.
Hmm that's my daughters birthday. Poor girl if true.
