Diablo II Ladder Reset – May 2

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:41:46 +0000

As we all anxiously await the release of Diablo III on May 15, we invite you to come enjoy one last hurrah in Diablo II as we reset the ladder the morning of May 2. We anticipate the realms could be down for up to six hours during the reset, and during that time all existing ladder characters will b...

Sorry 'bout that.

Will we know when they stop beta inviting

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:52:16 +0000

We probably won't end beta until shortly before release, and traditionally we've tried to announce release dates about two months before release. I couldn't speculate how invites might ramp up or down when the beta finally comes to a close, it definitely is not coming to a close yet though.

Patch 1.13d Now Live

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:37:36 +0000

So, are you going to reset the ladder now so that all the people who used that dupe method get started over, along with people using bots? And a much better question, why wasn't this implemented BEFORE the reset. Everything salready been duped ladder already is back to bot central. Not really sure w...

Something that bugs me about Blizzard mus

Tue, 25 Oct 2011 20:02:53 +0000

D3 could have been saved if Matt Uelmen was still around to compose music for it. But alas.
We recorded approximately 90 minutes of Matt playing 12-string guitars for the Diablo III soundtrack.
All is saved!

The items are weak design, and why

Fri, 23 Sep 2011 20:41:47 +0000

I don't expect to change your mind. You've been playing Diablo II for 10 years, and so it seems like a step backward because the direct comparisons of a 10 year old game with an expansion don't match up with one currently in beta. I can yell runestones! until I'm hoarse and that doesn't change the f...

Closed beta wow/sc2 only

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 17:03:58 +0000

This was bad information. They confused requirements to post in the forums to requirements to be able to opt-in. They're not the same.
To opt-in you need to create a Battle.net account and attach any Blizzard title that has a CD-Key you can attach. If you're opted in then that means you do have a g...

Friends and Family test and NDA

Wed, 07 Sep 2011 20:00:21 +0000

Do friends and family keep beta access once you've moved into the closed beta? I thought this would be an obvious yes, but somebody asked me that today, and I'd like to be able to give the correct answer.
We don't plan to remove anyone's access once they have it.

I want this question asnwered Bash, you said WoW was acceptable as it has secure keys, so why arent non-active WoW owners allowed to post?
Because that's just the rule for World of Warcraft licenses posting on the forums, has been since release, and it carried over to the Diablo III site since it's...

cant post in d3 forums?!

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:48:11 +0000

While we're still here, can I delete my "character" to reset my profile?
No your SC2 character and record is there to stay. The idea is that you should be tracking your play experience and improvement over the years. You'd need to buy a new license to have a fresh profile.

New Diablo III Community Site is Live

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:46:14 +0000

Diablo II keys simply aren't secure (not counting the fact that the new Battle.net platform doesn't even know how to talk to the Diablo II service). Since we don't have a beta yet we have no beta posters, so to have some people able to interact on the site we opened it up to people with WoW and SC2 ...

Class Re-leveling...

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 22:28:39 +0000

I will probably end up having two (or more) of the same class leveling, since I'll have a character that I play with my co-workers, and then a different character that I play with family, and then a different character that I play alongside my best friend, etc.

Inferno and 18 Item Tiers

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 20:34:51 +0000

We have the actual visual progression looks nailed down, so I guess the direct answer is we're not looking to make any more beyond those 18. We're not nailed down on how we're pacing them because we're still creating a decent amount of unique armor pieces, which get more bang for the buck being plac...

Conflicting Inferno Monster Level Informa

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 20:00:20 +0000

All monsters in Inferno will be 61, which is probably sufficient, but we're leaving it open if we need to tweak some higher.
