==Tool Tips During Development==

Tool tips were in Diablo III all during development, and fans saw them in the playable demos at each year's Blizzcon. Those tips were always works in progress though -- many of them referred to removed skills, old names, or changed features. This is not a surprise; in-game documentation always lags well behind the actual game changes since there's no point in constantly updating the tool tips when whole features are being changed around in every patch.

Stepping back and going big picture, we’re currently working on greatly simplifying tooltips. It’s too early to give details at this point, but our general feeling is that we provide way too much information in the skill tooltips in general. </blue>

Fans didn't know what to think about that, as no one seemed to find the current tool tips that complicated. This issue was soon returned to, with much more impact.
