I live in Sweden, veeery hard to “just go to Blizzcon”. Anyway, would be awesome one day.
I heard at least the demo will be on dreamhack. Guess that kinda close for you.
True! But Blizzcon in a whole, too long journey. Would be nice to try RoS but I dislike Dreamhack.
Cheers from Portugal! 😉
when i hear this great info and enthusiasm about the demo i really dont want to play d3 anymore . Havent touched it in 2 days and i wont think i will be for at least a month 🙁
I haven’t played since the console version came out and even abit before that after some announcements and the datamining started.
The game is simply not rewarding enough.
I am trying to get some paragon levels to be ready for sharagon, but the drops disgust me…

Did the cows say moo?
Sure you could play Diablo 3 RoS as much as you wanted at Blizzcon, people couldn’t care less about D3 it’s even less popular than Heartstone, a boring card game. Diablo is the poor child of Blizzard nowadays, SC2 is their baby and WoW their cash cow, look at how much resources and development Diablo has received, it pales in comparison.

You’d be correct if you were talking about SC2, which seems to be getting the very short end of the stick in attention from bliz. WoW is far and away their main game and has been at every blizzcon since it began in 2005, but d3 had much more panel coverage and presence than HS or HotS this year, and Bliz didn’t even have playable SC machines this year and spent just one panel on their lone RTS title.
I mean in general they take precedence. They patch StarCraft 2 at least once per month, even though most of it is balance, it’s still time and resources put into that game, and they host a major annual tournament. Diablo is getting the attention it so desperately needed because of RoS, but like you said they didn’t announced a beta and still no word on “2.0” features. Meanwhile the absence of waiting lines for a Diablo game at a Blizzard convention shows that they need to release that expansion sooner than later. And I believe march 17th is too late to start rolling out 2.0 features in live, by then everyone will be talking about Titan Fall and nothing else, the word won’t get out.
