Patch 4.3 on PTRs this week?, Diablo 3 in 2012, TCG Art, Comics

[otarma]

Anyway, D3 beta is just about 1 hour span per character for there is only one act. So no need to be too frustrated.

Yeah...not everyone enjoys the fact that Trolls don't wear shoes, but it doesn't mean that you can say the game was released prematurely for it.

It's not game breaking, but it's not all about their aesthetic design, either. Worgen females ARE buggy, and if you don't think so then you don't play one. Try creating a worgen female rogue and cast Mutilate. See how her back just breaks? A good chunk of the animations are buggy as hell, plagued with clipping, tearing, and unnatural bending. No other player model in the game has these issues. Heck, even most if not all NPC models don't have them.

Try creating a female worgen hunter and equip the Demon Stalker Greathelm. Does that look like they tried hard to make sure all helms fit well on the model? There are lots of other helms with similar problems to that, too. Do some emotes on your female worgen, and cringe at how her mouth tears when she smiles, laughs, or tries to do anything but scowl.

The fact is, the model was pushed out just weeks before the Beta ended. That didn't give a whole lot of time to test it. For a good 90% of the Beta, female worgens were not playable, or even selectable for a good majority of the time. Oh, and remember those "inside out" worgen female NPCs that were everywhere at release? Yeah. That's the Blizzard polish we've come to know and love, right?

No, it wasn't game breaking, and it's still not game breaking. But the expansion clearly was not ready, was clearly rushed, and is clearly suffering for it.

And for Blizzard to continue to claim they only release products when they're ready? It's downright insulting.

[Derivatives]

Bummed out about Diablo III.

Yeah. It'll be all the better when it gets there though right?

Also the concept art is beautiful. I love the one of Rexxar and Misha.

You act like no other devs make good games as well in shorter time periods, with far-far less resources than at blizzard's disposal. Blizzard's just lucky they've established their ways before "modern development" took place, and they get the luxury to mess around with whatever they want, how ever long they want. Though, from what we've seen, even they're under the gun a bit after the 4.3 has shown. They've always said they wanted to make faster content, but never have. Now that their PC dominance has been threatened, and surpassed, they're scrambling. And I'm sure Bobby's making sure that they realize that times have changed. That guy has done one good thing at least by doing so.

And, SMH at people thinking that Diablo 3 is to counter SWTOR. They're totally different genres. Now, if you want to say that now's the chance for Torchlight 2 to come in and hurt Diablo 3 like Rift, and soon SWTOR and Guild Wars 2 have/will WoW, then that's a valid point.

Name one gaming producer on the same platform with the same success rate of products. This is not a fanboy war, but when you look at Apple, Google and in this case Blizzard - each being trend-setting in their markets - and you wonder about their unorthodox decisions/strategies, have you ever stopped to wonder.. maybe it's because it works? I don't in any way claim that Blizzard is a perfect company - there is simply no such thing. But it's clearly a strategy for them to never release a product until they're 100% satisfied, and so far it's worked out pretty well for them.

Taurens have had to deal with this since forever.

Taurens have had to deal with this since forever.

No. No we haven't. Tauren animations are not bugged. Helms do not fit them in unexpectedly grotesque ways. There's a minor bug where female taurens have closed eyes in the default user portrait, but that's really it.

You haven't played taurens then. Helms look like absolute crap on taurens and there's many bugs in animations, for instance, ever look really closely when a female tauren with a tabard sits down or when they jump? They've only been around about 6x longer than worgen.
