what makes u think that D3 will have graphic like 20 years ago? D2 graphic was ok and it was like 10 years ago graphic.... so why would Blizzard do something tat is even worse than D2?

u are jumping to conclusion with just that small icon..... it is a icon to indicate the town portal spell.... what u want from it?

sold out.
but some people in blizzard d3 forum made threads that they cancel their ce pre-order. Although most likely it's just trolling 

blizzard said though that most of the stuff in their recent announcement concerning changes, were already implemented.

MOST OF IT

Most does not mean all, so yeah there will probably be some delay, but not as big as you think :/

the remaining changes i suspect may have to do with itemization stats having to be redone again to account for the stat changes and other balances for the different difficulty levels.

also keep in mind the d3 beta you see, is a few iterations behind what the inhouse QA testers have. And their testing the full game, not a Demo D3 beta which consists of only 1/3 of Act 1 (With stuff like fmvs n other spoilers removed of course).
Anyway i'm predicting a late march release date

Managed to finish the Book of Cain and it provides a lot of information on the lore. Will spend some time on the 3 novels next to kill time before the release.

Was taking my sweet time reading the book so it took me 3-4 days. Half of the book is full with illustration so it is not that text-heavy.

well, being a kiasu diablo fans like myself, i PO-ed at 2 places just to secure my D3CE. if by any chance im so lucky to get both sets, will you be interested to buy another set of mine? just drop me a pm to leave me a note if you are interested.
