    posted a message on NYCC 2011 - Diablo III: Book of Cain
    I went to the New York Comic Con, and landed first at the Insight Editions booth to take a photo and video of their booth where they have a poster of Diablo III: Book of Cain.

    I showed my press badge to the booth attendant, and she gave the 2012 Insight Editions Complete Catalog. There I got the names of some of the artists, and (drumroll) plans to launch an eBook version -- which comes handy for international folks who might not have the chance of having access to the physical hardcover.

    I managed to amplify the tiny illustrations, and transcribed the Diablo character entry.

    UPDATE - Oct 20: Three new images available.
    UPDATE - Oct 20: 8 pages preview -- massive lore spoilers about the origin of the universe and the Worldstone.

    posted a message on wow acc banned
    Quote from Dezarius

    They don't have access to my bnet account. I fixed that. Changed pass and all that. But my wow acc is banned, that's all. That doesn't matter, as I don't play.

    If your account was hi-jacked and banned -- changing the password won't be enough if your computer is compromised. I'll say run the following:

    1. Avast Anti-Virus
    2. Spybot: Search and Destroy
    3. MooSoft The Cleaner (This one is entirely dedicated to Trojan detection only)

    Some people like to use Kapersky anti-virus. You can give that a shot.

    Once you are completely sure your system is clean, change passwords.

    posted a message on Diablo III Novel by Nate Kenyon in the Horizon
    During our phone interview with Nate Kenyon to discuss details on StarCraft: Ghost--Spectres, Nate Kenyon revealed he is currently writing a new Diablo III novel tie-in.

    The title and plot is unknown, but this is the first confirmation of a new Diablo III novel since September 25, 2007 when Diablo: The Sin War, The Veiled Prophet shipped.

    In case someone mentions it, nope, Diablo III: Book of Cain is an encyclopedia. Not a novel.

    1 questions, is thatan unmodified screenshot from the beta ? As I've seen in many streams, dialog texts are shown in the chat box corner, is there an option that display them above the character like in the image ?

    Yes, there are options to display ON/OFF some features like sub-titles (Audio tab), health bar of monsters, health bar of players, etc.

    posted a message on DC Comics Diablo # 1 on Sale Nov 23
    You know, and I know that sword doesn't look the same way as in the Diablo II: LOD cinematic or the Diablo III cinematic teaser --- but then the questions are:

    1. Was the sword retconned to look something more epic and less boring?
    2. If not, where did this sword come from?

    Regardless of the answer, ain't it interesting Epic Weapons Facebook added Diablo alongside their other licenses? =)

    posted a message on Battle.net Account Page Maintenance?
    Quote from Daemaro

    Mines there I'm in CST.

    It's 10: 23pm EST/GMT -5. It's been two hours since I noticed. Just checked my US Battle.net Account. The StarCraft II icons, text and links are now back to normal. Kinda interesting because while the account management page was down, people were still be able to play the game. Sort of a stealthy website server maintenance.

    Either they are preparing for a StarCraft II PTR, or they are performing some unknown website maintenance.

    posted a message on Battle.net Account Page Maintenance?
    Quote from ZombieMuse

    I have SC2 but I did not see anything missing or really any difference in battle.net's account page at all.

    Any of you naysayers are on US Battle.net? Seems nothing is going on for Europeans.

    After you login go to the US Battle.net Account Management. If SC2 is missing then something is going on.


    https://us.battle.net/account/management/

    Doesn't mean Diablo III beta will start in a few hours or tomorrow. However, it might be a preparation for the Diablo III beta webpage, installer page, FAQ, etc.

    In past betas, it is common to see unannounced and non-scheduled server maintenances, or websites or forums going down. It's a 50/50 that it is or not related to Diablo III beta maintenance.

    posted a message on Battle.net Account Page Maintenance?
    Can anyone with StarCraft II double-check their Battle.net account page? The entire StarCraft II links and text disappeared from my Battle.net Account page -- which means the server developers are doing something.

    I launched the SC2 .exe file, downloaded old patches. Logged into SC2. No maintenance downtime. Seems to be working fine. However, I loaded the Battle.net Account website and the SC2 text, icons and links remain gone.

    A. Signs they are working on Diablo III beta installer page and links?
    B. Completely unrelated?

    Who knows. Hasn't there been pre-beta preparation tweaking of Battle.net before these past years?

    Update: You should be on US Battle.net and own StarCraft II. Login here, then go to this page:

    https://us.battle.net/account/management/

    If StarCraft II text, icons and links are completely gone, then there's something fishy going on. WikingerKrone confirmed he is experiencing the same.



    Update - 10:23pm EST/-5GMT: The StarCraft II icons, text and links are back online.



    Update: 2:30am EST / -5GMT - Forgot to do a basic check up. I just launched the StarCraft II PTR launcher. This is the info:

    SC2 Public Test server is not available right now. Please check http://www.battle.net/sc2/game/ptr/ for more information.

    Which means whatever stealth-maintenance was done last night on the Battle.net Account page is a mystery.

    The sword as shown in the cinematic might be changed in Diablo III cinematics. It looks boring, but more real life themed.

    I got curious and looked up the Diablo: Sword of Justice concept art. Guess what? It doesn't look at all like in both Destruction's End cinematics (D2 / D3). Now that's more like a epic sword look.

    I'd be "that guy" shadow dueling with the sword in my backyard for hours a day.. If replicas do get produced, I just hope they don't make corny sounds.. :P

    Rumor Mill full-speed ahead! It seems Epic Weapons acquired the Diablo III license to develop weapon replicas. It's just a speculation at this point based on an enigmatic finding. The Epic Weapons facebook added Diablo III facebook under "Likes".

    The Epic Weapons facebook only links to a few facebook pages: those licenses they have developed replicas for ... and Diablo III is there? Whoa? When? How? It has not been announced at all. Not yet, that is.

    The one Diablo III weapon replica that fits perfectly the term "Epic" is Archangel Tyrael's sword. DC Comics recently revealed the upcoming launch of Diablo: Sword of Justice -- a comic book about Tyrael's sword somehow having sentience. A young kid hears the calling of the sword and wields it to become the Avatar of Justice on Sanctuary.

    Would you buy this licensed product if Epic Weapons really announces it?
