The lies of Blizzard...

[Pyro]

Not that I care anymore, as I've completely given up on this game since the week after the yay dupe, but wasn't 1.10 going to be released in June of 2002? And then wasn't it going to be released around September of 2002? And then "before the next insider" several months ago? And then at E3 earlier this month? When will Blizzard stop lying? I don't care if it's ready or not...you don't promise something to thousands of people over and over and not do it when you say you will. They're just full of bullshit - it's that simple.

[DarkestFears]

blizzard will continue to be blizzard.. i remeber when d2 was suppose to come out at Q2 of 1999 and wc3 q4 of 2000 lol

[JiDDaR]

lol think for Duke Nukem Forever

first 2003 --> 2004 --> now the release date is 2005

[`Insolence`]

U guys, those are estimates, as new issues arrive, they have to change to support those issues.

Quit bitchin, and half the time its a rumor..

[Scorpicore]

you don't promise something to thousands of people over and over and not do it when you say you will.

So it's ok to promise somthing to only a few people and not do it, but just not to thousands?

[`Insolence`]

Its not ok to promise something and not do it... but where did blizzard 'Promise' they would have it relased?

K your saying through everything you have seen or done through your life, you have never hit a snag and had to go passed a set date?

Be happy for something insteand of bitching about it, or take nothing at all.

[Senesia]

Blizzard might have said they were going to, planning to, most probably will, release certain things at a certain time. But they have never made a promise.

Plan would change, project could be delayed...it is Blizzard, afterall, and you can't expect a two-men patch team to work that fast...

[Ganga]

dude they never promise, they only estimate and plan. Also if you give up at d2, stop bitching about it. and why are you still here?

[Senesia]

Oh guys, stop telling people to stop bitching.

They just want to let it out sometimes. We all have some problems about Blizzard, and couldn't stay and keep silent about it any longer.

These kind of posts are much better than those about "Any new dupe?" thread, at least.

[`Insolence`]

We all have problems about everything.

And i do agree, kinda intresting thread :D

[Ganga]

well ya, i guess cuz lately there is only this kinda threads, with out these threads there won't be need for Mod.

[Senesia]

It is the Diablo2 General Chat forum afterall. I think it is alright to rant about Blizzard and any Diablo2 related subject, as long as it is not spam or flame.

[Xenn]

Maybe you never noticed but they have a new game coming out, the war3 expansion. It would be the dumbest marketting decision in the history of time to release a giant patch right before they want people buying a new game.

Expect 1.10 2-4 weeks after July 1st.

[Titusfied]

I don't think that would be dumb at all. By them putting out the patch it will reinstill their commitment to their customers. They wouldn't lose sales, just initial sales, and so very slightly at that.

[`Insolence`]

heh wc3 ppl will go with wc3, d2 ppl will go with d2..

Its not like people will buy a new game instead of waiting 2 more weeks... ya get what im saying?

[Ganga]

I understand you first sentence not the second one...

[Doofus_AW]

Its not like your paying for it... I think it is rather cool of them to try to keep a game interesting after all this time. They have no monetary incentive to do it, its all in the interest of keeping your customer base happy. I will take it when I can get it.

[`Insolence`]

If u dont get 2nd sentence, read it over, and over and over till you do, or till you pass out :)

[l337_H4x0r]

I say we boycott Blizz

[`Insolence`]

i say we dont listen to you...

Havent u read the majority of posts? People are With blizz bud... we have plenty of time to game, besides the more precautions they take, the better it will be, id rather wait 5 yeras and get a basically hack/bugged/dupe/bot free game, than wait 2 and get a game full of hacks/bugged/dupes/bots.

Woudlnt you? mr. L337 H4x0r ? If your such a leet haxor you should hack blizz and fiddle with some numbers, aye?

[Senesia]

See Insolence, the thread can get interesting!

In my opinion, it is nice to see that Blizzard is taking action, doing something, anything.

They aren't going to gain more profits from the game anyway (except for more trust from Customer, for future marketing), they don't need to care about Diablo2Lod anymore since they might have earn enough. More effort put into that old game isn't going to attract more D2X customers.

They are trying to satisfy us. Maybe they have failed miserably in the latest attempt, (Mass banning) but some people feel grateful for what they have done. I quit before the banning, but personally I appreciate what they've done. They tried afterall.

That's probably the best justification for the patch delays said to date. They need to post that on their website.

[Valmar]

Actually guys.... YOU arent paying to play on Battle.net but every time you get onto it, blizzard is gaining money. Everyone in here has missclicked on a banner or something, and even if you havent, people pay blizzard to put there banner on B.net, so if we werent playing blizz wouldnt make any more money. It would be physically impossible to create 1.10 off of no funds, so if you think about it they are still making money everytime someone loggs onto there server... and if push comes to shove they could have a pop-up activate everytime someone loggs on and they would make a shitload. Bottom line is, shut the fuck up about them taking forever, they are doing everything they can on what little they make off d2.. They would rather have a damn near perfect patch where they dont have to spend more more and more to repatch it and fix shit they fucked up and that way save money.... Personally.. myself, if everytime i made a solid "Promise" alot of my boys woulf be rollin in money.. but alot of the time it isnt my fault. Just like alot of blizz promises (even though they have yet to make one and not keep it) arnt kept simply because something fucked up and they had to do more work. Its 2 people for christ sake... suck it up and wait for the patch or just shut up.

[Medieval Bob]

They still have to pay for the servers however. They're probably not making much more money with banners than they require to pay hosting fees and this "update team" they have.

[Ganga]

But the banner in D2, it's always only selling, WC3 and b.net stuff, it's never other company ad, so i dont think they making money of the banner.

[`Insolence`]

Yeah some times it is other companies..

Im with valmar.. to sum up his speech: " Suck it up, or shut up "

If you dont like it so much, just leave.. damn its that simple.

[Bloodkrawller]

:fire:All I can say is,

You can't rush greatness! lolz!

[Pyro]

And to sum up my opinion: "You're a bunch of biased assholes"

While they may not have promised per se, they did give probable dates/times of release. If you don't know that it will be out by then, you don't announce it - it's that simple. By getting people's hopes up and then not living up to your claims, you are getting people (like me) to dislike you. I don't like liars, it's that simple, and promise or not, I don't appreciate it when someone lies. Anyway, if they were still trying they would have it out by now. I am leaving...again...or at least until 1.10 comes out. I left the first time it didn't come out when it was supposed to, and returned when I heard more info on it. Here's the same situation to a greater extent, as it was officially claimed that it would be out at two separate occasions.

[Senesia]

It is just a way to attract the player. If you don't say anything about your product, people would assume you've given up on the game. Even if that's true, Blizzard wouldn't want us to know it.

They may have a lot of plans, but schedule does get pushed back sometimes. Give them a break, it's a two-man patch team, as Valmar has mentioned.

While those two people are trying to fix the old stuff, hundreds of hackers (probably more skillful too) are messing up with the game and finding new exploits. Well, that wiykd be difficult, wouldn't it?

P.S. :Your summed up opinion is a biased one as well.

[Pyro]

Yes, but as a biased person I will accept others' views until I see something like "Quit bitchin" - I like my arguments to proceed in a mature manner for the most part. Also, scratch the "bunch" of biased assholes, as it was really only directed towards Insolence and ganga (his first reply).

[badboy]

Its not like people will buy a new game instead of waiting 2 more weeks... ya get what im saying?


?:confused: ?:confused:? :confused:?

[Senesia]

He is talking about the Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne, and Diablo2 LoD 1.10 patch.

If the War3 xpack comes out 2 weeks earlier than the 1.10 patch, Diablo2 fans aren't going to just buy War3 xpack and forget about 1.10.

They will still wait for the patch, because they are into Diablo2.

The War3x will not distract the attention of Diablo2 fans, and vice visa. That's what he's saying. (I think~)
