Of course not. You wrote:
It is utterly preposterous that anyone would think that I said that the beta testing itself for D2R would last 160 days (which is 4 x 40 = 160).
P.S.
Is this the Blizzard quote that made you think that D:I was confirmed to be releasing after D2R?
Going to quote myself again because you weirdly ignored it and just repeated what you said before.
yes you are implying it is going to last 4-6 months OR you’re implying the beta will be short and then they will just hold onto the game , despite being finished, for… the holidays? Despite them releasing both D:I AND CoD during xmas, you think they’ll ALSO release D2R at the exact same time? Dude… you aren’t living on earth. That would make zero financial sense and actually leach sales from eachother.
Opposite of what they want. They want maximum profit spread out across each QUARTER. so D2R and BC will release to bolster the 3rd Quarter and D:I and CoD for the 4th quarter. its extremely obvious from that investor call whats happening.
Not at all.
The alpha test itself was 4 days. From the end of alpha to today is ~4 weeks. Presumably during this time, Blizzard/VV was working on D2R (either fixing issues uncovered during the alpha, more work on acts 3-5 and the four non-alpha classes, new changes,and/ or something else). Depending on the beta testing, there will be most likely other things that come up.
I am expecting the multiplayer beta sometime this month given the comment on yesterdays investor call. The earliest start of the beta would be May 14 and even that may be too optimistic…
I do not know if they have plans for more than one beta. I do not think they will hold onto the game if it is finished. My sense of corporate speak is that the second half of the year usually mean Q4 but maybe Blizzard is thinking that it can be late Q3. It was interesting that they did not use coming months as they did with WoW: Burning Crusade. This means to me that they do not expect D2Rrelease to be in the coming months.
No. They just want maximum profit. If they rush any of these games to release prematurely, it will hurt their bottom line for the year not just a quarter. Also, you are assuming that D:I, D2R, and CoD are direct competitors.
That’s Blizzard whole MMO tho, they’re notorious for this.
Diablo3 dropped unfinished and isn’t the same game it was @ launch.
Diablo2 went through a similar journey i.e. classic vrs Lod
as will be d2r they already had several bugs that cause the game not to even run the same as d2lod… which I imagine there will be other things as well.
you literally don’t get how quarterly spikes work for major publicly traded coporations. seriously, you’re way out of your depth here.
what are they rushing? the D2R alpha was extremely polished with minor bugs fixable in a few days. They aren’t adding anything more pre-launch so theres literally not much work to do.
jesus dude… they ARE. ffs. lol. D:I is literally an ARPG and is literally ALSO in the diablo universe… if D2R released around the same time, or god forbid, AFTER D:I, literally no one would play it. despite it being free. You again, have no clue what you’re talking about when it comes to big business.
Not true, they reconstructed majority of it, they just lost some stuff like art assets. Also how does it even matter, if if it was lost completely look what Modders did it. Look at work of Nefarius. You dont know what you talk about sadly.
Some modders already done it but sure its impossible 
You know nothing. Of course i did. I am done with you because its just trolling at this point and you dont bring anything usefull to discussion so welcome to my ignore list. Your claims about single player are hilarious.
This is not true. There will be people who play both games irrespective of release orders, especially in consideration of one game is mobile while the other not.
P.S. There is a new interview wit Rob Gallerani published today May 6. In this interview, they talk about post alpha feedback, additional changes to the game and Blizzard survey.
How Diablo 2 Is Changing on Its Path to Resurrection… While Staying True to Its Roots - IGN
Direct quote:
The team also wanted to gauge the fanbase’s reaction to some of the small quality of life changes that had been implemented, such as automatic gold pick-up. “For the most part people really liked them,” Gallerani says. “In fact they want to see more. The game is still a work in progress - this was a tech alpha - so even from the design side we have a lot of thoughts about [additional] quality of life updates and ways we can make them better.”
“A lot of the feedback has been specific, low level, little things across the board,” Gallerani continues. “The community has been amazing, we have sites of people putting together surveys and PowerPoints for us. It’s awesome to see them share how they feel about it.”
“We can’t promise that we can or will change everything,” Lead Artist Chris Amaral adds. “But when there are things we agree with, we can push them a little further.”
Well, the Bnet App just updated with TBC Classic releasing June 1st! 
So, I was pretty much right on that one! Let’s see what else I can get right on! 
Here is a change for them… take away stupid immune to cold fire etc. like og diablo 2 classic mode. Resistance buffs are fine but total immune to a straight build is a bit stupid.
Dbrunsky is a hardcore user of mods, PlugY etc. I don’t give a damn… what he wants. he dont speak for me.
This was stated to counter the argument that Blizzard at Blizzconn only spoke to the D2 “purist” MtLlamaSC . This was used to justify that they were not considering changes.
Yes also not interested in Diablo Immortal as I gave up on consoles around 15 years ago because they’d priced themselves out of what I could afford and I see paying a $1000.00 for a smart phone as an even worse buy,Not to mention Diablo Immortal is just boring or not interesting
