      Sigh.

      This is basic gamer psychology. When gamers find out that something is going to happen via a vague notion of time "in a few weeks" or even a confined range "in 1-3 weeks" the only thing that they react to is the minimum amount of time that is displayed. So if they say "1-3 weeks" all that will matter is that in 1 week people will be going "it's been a week, where is it". So there's a reason that they aren't giving us even a vague notion of when it might be ready.

      Regardless, you are trying to get around them not giving us a release date by asking for something that is pretty much exactly a release date. You're just qualifying it that by them not giving you a *specific* date that it's not a release date, and you are totally justified in asking for it even when they said they'd tell us when they are ready.

      Sorry xcure, but I have to agree. I also would love to see a time table, and tbh I am wanting to jump around and get on the bandwagon as well, but I am more interested in a safe product, rather then just a product. There are a ton of bots out there now, but I for one don't trust them. I am certain that when Warden is turned on, those others will receive bans, and thats $63 down the drain. So if HB wants to wait, to make sure their product can survive any hidden trip wires, then I am all for it.

      That's the quality we want for our customers. We could walk the easy, hackish path others have been walking, and get our customers banned within a week. We don't want that, we want a durable, safe and high quality product for our customers, as you have grown accustom to. It'll be done when it's done, when we think it's good and safe enough. That's why we don't just blatantly put release dates out there as deadlines - it'd contradict our product aims.

      Thats fair enough, but you have to have some time scale?

      Like a month? two?

      Do you need guest passes to test on?
      Is there anyway for us to help make this be released faster?

      There's an idea... I've got an account I can use with Buddywing once it's "released".

      Think of the HB team like Blizz - It's ready when it's ready.

      I have no problem waiting for this. Hopefully by then I'll have fully enjoyed the game and have at least 3 level 60 characters so I can choose the optimal one for farming.

      I'd 100% agree with this if Diablo was an MMO, but it's not.
      I hope you guys realize there's no "long haul" with this game.

      It's fun the first time. The second time it's a chore. The third time you run it you just wanna kill yourself, and if you didn't die out of boredom with Hell, you're gonna wanna kill yourself by the time you do Inferno.

      You can see it on the forums, and I've talked to many hardcore gamers, and they all agree: If PvP isn't awesome (which is hard to believe considering how broken itemization is for some classes), this game is dead in a month. Right now there's absolutely nothing to do once you beat inferno.

      Now what happens when casuals stop playing? They won't buy gold (or items). Botters won't sell it, and no one's gonna buy the bots.

      This may be a bit apocalyptic, but I don't honestly see it going any other way. They can add an expansion here and there, but at the end of the day, the content will last for no more than a couple weeks.

      My 2c.

      Have to agree with Toney001, I already stopped playing it because I got bored and I only reached lvl 30 on normal mode...

      Could i possibly get a reply to this if a mod see's it? It pretty much makes the difference for me in purchasing this.

      I don't know.... people played diablo 2 for quite awhile, maybe not as long as a MMO, but definitely longer than a month.

      Star Wars is the biggest franchise in the world :p.

      Diablo II was released 12 years ago. Gaming was not where it is today.

      People will play D3 for years to come, that's for sure, but that'll mostly be the hardcore fans and pvpers. Not nearly as many of the casuals that are the bulk of the player base today (the ones that buy gold and keep this industry running).

      In not too long gold will be worthless. Only inferno gear for hardcore players will be worth something.

      I think this will be a niche market, but not something that would support a large botting industry like WoW's.

      But that's my opinion...

      There was still alot of active players in diablo 2 few months before 3 arrived. Some people can enjoy the gaming endlessly, ofc there was ladder resets to keep u busy

      Plus, you can only take what you see on any game's forums (or any forums) with a grain of salt. Even today such a small percentage of any playerbase posts in a public way. So without seeing Blizzard's metrics for usage and whatnot, we really have no idea how many people are playing, etc...

      Yes, they are going to see a huge drop off as "the next" game comes around... I think the deciding factor here, tho, is the RMAH. Once that's kicked in you're going to see value for the bot no matter how many players are playing.
