After watching the Debut Gameplay Trailer again with the battle between the Siegebreaker Assault Beast and four characters, the Siegebreaker seems attack the closest character in range. There isn’t a threat system which tells the enemy what to attack but what I do hope Diablo 3 will have is smarter AI e.g. attacking the character that has the lowest health or cornering a character so that they won’t be able to get out.
The following is just a 'Mission Impossible' scenario and just an idea. I am not condoning any illegal crimes.
IF this were possible, how could one complete a hefty task as such? I believe we all have thought about getting our hands on a Diablo 3 demo and well, lets discuss.
If anyone played the demo during last years Blizzcon, how was the security and what equipment did they use?
We have known Blizzard to amazing us with great features but what if they made an announcement at Blizzcon that would take us by surprise? What if they announced…
A SIXTH class during launch.
Yes, I repeat a sixth class! What if they have a sixth up there sleeves? This would definitely stir things up. Has Blizzard ever tricked us like this before? Although they could use this as an April fool’s joke, if this comes true our jaws would drop!
I've created this time line of events spread sheet to see what kind of information we can receive by looking at the history of Diablo 3's progression. With this spread sheet, we can make logical predictions of the next updates we'll see.
I have attached a screen shot in case you do not have Excel. Please feel free to download the Excel sheet and edit as you wish.
Release Dates.
If we assume that Diablo 3's completion percentage is at 45% with it's initial announcement in June 2008 with a rate of 1% added every month, then we can expect Diablo 3 to be finished at January 2013.
Or, with a 1.5% completion rate per month, we can assume a release July 2011.
Or, with a 2% completion rate per month, we can expect a release at January 2011.
My thoughts: My bet is the January 2011 release.
Last Class Revealed. My thoughts: Blizzard would probably wait until April 1st to reveal it's fake last class. After that, I suspect they will reveal the last class at Blizzcon 2010.
Bestiary Updates.
The current trend between updates of Bestiaries shows a three month gap so we expect to see one this September.
My thoughts: I would guesstimate we will have three to four Bestiary updates before launch.

Moderators, can you move this to the General Threads? I posted in the wrong section.
Create a ladder ranking of PVP duels with winners and losers instead. The more wins you get, the higher your ranking status will be; therefore, giving you access to a special one numbered ranked item. For example, if you're number one, you get the Champions PVP Belt only wearable by the number person!
And to add more incentive to beating number one rank, you can win X amount of gold. The higher his wins, the more gold is fueled into being the number one.
Van Helsing type of character. I don't know their called exactly but it fits the Diablo killing demons theme perfectly. He/she can use harpwns(harpoons)!
If I've learned one thing from Diablo 2, collect every item you find and keep it. A month or two later, that item maybe worth billions or gone forever!
What a relief! I remember dropping items for my mule and hoping to switch my alternate character in there before the game drops or disconnects. This will save the hassle.
