Diablo 3 release date

Over the past 5 years there have been rumors of a release date for Diablo 3. When the game designers at blizzard were asked, all they said was "when its done". But anyways, the latest rumor is that it will come out sometime in the summer of 2012, but that probably wont happen.

The Cairn Stones

This is the third quest in the first act. It is given to you by Akara in the rogue encampment. This quest is were the game really starts to get challenging. It's the longest quest in the first act, and took me about 3 hours to complete. So at first you have to travel to stony field, and then follow the path in stony field to the underground passageway. You'll have to do lots of exploring through the underground passageway to find the exit, but once you do you'l end up in Dark Wood. Explore Dark Wood until you find the "Tree of Unifuss" and once you've found it, pick up the scroll and return to Akara. and by the way, the tree is guarded by a champion gargantuan beast so just be prepared for a fight.
                  Once you've given the scroll to Akara she'll translate it so that you can read the instructions. You then have to go back to Stony Field and touch the "cairn stones" in the order that the scroll tells you. A portal will open to "Tristram" and you can go inside and rescue Deckhard Cain. Before you go into tristram make sure you are atleast level 8 and to fill your inventory with health pots, there are lots of champion monsters that will kill you quite easily. If you want to avoid getting killed and dont feel like killing all the monsters and getting all the loot. Then when you get into Tristram just run to the center, free Deckhard Cain, and run back through the portal. But I suggest just leveling up so that you can fight the monsters.

Tip: When your in Tristram, look around for an object called "wirts leg", this will prove extremely useful later on in the game.

Sister's Burial Grounds

So, I just finished Quest 2: Sister's Burial Grounds. this quest is given to you by Kashya at the rogue encampment. This quest is a little bit more difficult than the first one. In this quest you have to make your way through the cold plains to the burial grounds.Once you get there, got through the gate in to the cemetery. Inside the cemetery will be blood raven, the character you have to defeat in order to complete the quest. So once youve killed her, take her stuff and go back to the rogue encampment for your reward.

Tips: You should be about level 5 before you take on this quest, and like the first quest, you will have to carry LOTS of health pots. On your way to the cemetery through the cold plains make sure to hit the waypoint so that you can teleport there later. This should save you lots of time in future quests. One tip i can give about fighting blood raven, is to not get in front of her. If you do she'll just shoot you and run away. So try and get behind her, that way you can hit her and not give her a chance to hit you back

The Den of Evil

alright, so i have started playing through the game on normal difficulty. I completed the first quest "The Den of Evil" given to you by Akara. This is the first quest of the game and is pretty straight forward and easy. All you have to do is find the cave and kill all the monsters inside, pretty simple. If you are having trouble reaching the cave, then just stick to the main path out of the Rogue encampment. You should be about level 3 once you start this quest and be sure to be carrying lots of health potions.
Tip: Save your run energy, you will probably need it in case you get swarmed by enemies. This is certain to happen a lot in this quest.
