http://www.youtube.com/user/ForceSC2strategy?feature=feedlss#p/l/s/OzJQX1Pt3ZQ They will be broadcasting the announcement of D3 info from the conference, supposed beta test date is going to be confirmed. They have some game play going right now and are going to switch to the conference after financials are done and they talk about D3 if anyone is interested.
ROFL Morhaime just said subscribership dropped to pre-cataclysm levels in the last few months because players ran out of content. And one of their WoW highlights is the winged lion mount they are going to sell. Fucking GG. Expecting Q3 Diablo 3 beta, trying hard to release this year, bla bla bla. The guys running this stream are retarded.
HAH Goldman Sachs guy just questioned Morhaime about losing subcribers after Cata launch and Rift's launch, get fucked! ROOOOFL "Our players are better at the game over the years and are consuming content faster than they did before" "we need to be faster at delivering content" "more paid but lighter expansions?" -goldman sachs guy "not ready to talk about the content of them" "we tend to see players leave for a period of time to try the new MMOs but a big % historically return" -in response to Rift competition "Most important thing for developing content is engagement, biggest priority" "focus on value added services to drive engagement, but we need a barrier so not everyone gets it"
Then he said they'd be redefining the genre with the new CoD... E: Wow this is just them getting drilled on fucking up cataclysm and content speed.
Guy just asked what average revenue per sub, which "they don't disclose for competitive reasons" China likes value added services. About churn with Cata: "subs has decreased faster than previous expansions because of how fast people are going through the content" everyone single person is asking about WoW subscriber levels lol... "we don't provide outlook on subscriber numbers" "subscriber growth is driven by new content seasonality, its not linear growth" "we don't provide guidance on churn" This is guy is asking an amazing question about digital distribution and consoles and shit. I can tell hes a PC GAMER, fuck the contards! FUCK WALLED GARDENS! OOOOOH this guy's answer is hinting at any sort of display with a microprocessor being a viable game enabled platform in the future. haha now hes defending MS, Sony, Facebook and their investments in their platforms and hes defending the walled garden bullshit. Yeah thats such a good idea, you know, until the entire garden catches on fire and burns down because of hackers and all of a sudden no one can do shit online on their console for a fucking month you fucking walled garden apologist.
I wouldn't mind them delaying D3 till end of Q1 of next year as long as its going to be really polished when it comes out.
Morhaime specifically said in regard to D3 that they will not compromise on the quality of the game to meet a release date.
D3 won't be until 2012, which is what I said in Q4 last year (not that my prognostication matters). I wouldn't be at all surprised if it weren't out until Q2 of 2012.
I would be willing to bet it would be Q1 of 2012 as opposed to Q2... I really think the game is pretty far along, or at least thats how it seems.
No just saying people are unsubing because they are done with content but pushing firelands to 4.2 because 4.1 would be too early since people still working on content, etc. But its not like they are done with Firelands anyways.
