Most recent news I've hears is Q2 2012. So, keep your fingers crossed!

Right now I'm playing through a second time with each character. I get an achievement for every class I can get up to the max beta level 13 which takes at least 2 times through plus the first mission of the 3rd time. Looks like new random dungeons and story based tomes randomly spawn for higher level characters which is pretty cool.

So far the game is incredibly easy, the only one who's even come close to dying is the Wizard. But, I suspect it's because Blizzard wants to tell you the story the first time through, before you move to the other 3 difficulty levels. It's like they added a 4th difficulty level below D2's "Normal".

Here is a developer video about it that I keep forgetting to post:

Crap I hope I can get through Skyrim by then lol.  I've decided not to fast travel anywhere so it's taking me a while lol.

There was a recent update to the beta that made some major game mechanic changes.

The biggest one is that "runestone" items (which fit into skill sockets to alter a skill's effect) no longer exist. It's now a level-based system that unlocks "skill runes" as you level. Which also explains why they removed the jeweler NPC, since he just combined runestones into higher quality ones.

Seems like they are still trying to refine the inventory glut aspect.

P.S. Oh, AND they locked certain skills to certain keys now... so some are only available on the left mouse button, some on the right, and some on the number keys. There is an option to free up that restriction but it doesn't work.

You used to be able to assign any skill to whatever slot you wanted before the most recent beta update. LAME!

Maybe thats why they told people to lower their high expectations for Diablo III :p, they start to nerf stuff and the game isnt even out yet! xD
