Huck posted a message on Leviathan (DiabloDB)Thanks for making the thread! I want to preface by saying PHP and MySQL are very new to me. I understand common programming techniques quite well so I've been able to learn PHP pretty easily, but handling a relational database has proven to be much more of a struggle than I thought it would be. I may switch to another database language if it becomes too much of a limitation (I don't think it will). I may also explore Perl for more server-side scripting. Javascript is generally a no-brainer, although I want to avoid JS as critical features (some people just don't turn on javascript).Posted in: Backstage Archives (Pre-Release)
First and foremost, Leviathan is a search engine. Hopefully it will turn into a social search engine. Finding loot (and other things) and comparing it to other loot is my priority right now. This should not take much longer as my db structure is becoming more finalized.
As for what Leviathan can be -- all sorts of things. An armory (place to create builds) is obvious, commenting on items/player profiles/builds/etc. An engine may be created to determine efficiency of builds (although this is not as much of a priority), as well as calculating total stats/dps depending on gear and skill choice are possible.
So far I am shaky on the design of the site itself - it needs to be compact enough to fit within smaller resolutions, but also versatile enough to handle all sorts of different situations. This site will ultimately service Diablo 3, but I am crafting it right now for Diablo 2 since there's actual content I can use.

I want to try and use Google Wave to share work/discussions. It seems like an appropriate place to do this kind of work in, and there are widgets that allow syntax highlighting.
Google Wave
Account is free, no invite necessary. Just add huckfinnaafb@gmail.com to your contact list. I have various files/work already posted on my waves (basically the equivalent of threads), when I get you on my contact list I'll open them up to you.
As far as people contributing, I can probably find something for everyone to work on in their spare time. If you're proficient with PHP/Perl/MySQL or handling the game files themselves, you can help directly. If you're not good at anything relevantly useful, you can always just tell me I'm fucking up one way or another in regards to design or implementation of features. Ideas help, too. -

Kickin_It posted a message on found a new item i thinkIt's fake. Think about it:Posted in: Diablo II
1.) As Seth has pointed out, the fact that this is the first and only claim anyone's heard of a new item (aside from the Essences) in 3-4+ months of 1.13 beta and live just doesn't add up. Someone would have found something by now.
2.) Although there are items that have multiple uniques ( Sacred Armor, Phase Blade, etc.), Splint Mail isn't one of them.
3.) If it were a legit item, there's no reason that Blizzard would name it with a name of another existing unique item, or that it wouldn't exist in the game files.
Also, to the person who was asking about auras on equip, there are no Affixes that grant auras to magical/rare items. They exist purely on uniques/rune words, so it couldn't be a glitched rare or something. -

FoxBatD2 posted a message on People complaining about D3 graphicsAct 2 is taking a very different direction that I appreciate. The difference is grit. Some of those early dungeons show overly smoothed textures on clean dungeon floors, in act 2 we now have that touch of detail that was missing.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
IDK I think this is going to go like Starcraft 2. That started off looking kinda plasticy, but ended up looking completely faithful with a few tweaks. I'm betting D3 is heading this direction as well, despite Blizzard's earlier attempt to defend their art style. Yes some of the proportions will probably remain slightly cartoony, but I expect textures and colors to come more in line. -

Mephisto's Lament posted a message on Diablo 3 Suck?I don't know who invented the English language and such, but whoever he is, I'm willing to bet by balls and my nipples that he's rolling around his grave, writhing in agony, after your post entered the cosmos.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
All of what you said has been said and dealt with 100 too many times before. If you don't have any meaningful new argument, or new reasons behind your oh-so-old complaints, then I'd suggest that you stop posting because such posts only annoy people, and necro old feelings that are better left buried. -

Siaynoq posted a message on Movies that should not have been madePosted in: General Discussion (non-Diablo)
It seems like they just made Robin Hood as an excuse for making an epic battle movie. Cause they know those do reasonably well in theaters and it's like, "Okay guys, we've done epic battle movies from just about every era of time and place, fictional and otherwise. What can we still bank on this summer?"Quote from Dauroth
The new Robin Hood is supposed to be set before he became the "outlaw" Robin Hood I thought
I watched Robin Hood just the other day! It isn't groundbreaking or breathtaking, but it's worth watching! In any case, it's far better than Iron man II; another summer ''hit''!
And yeah, it happens before the events that were depicted in the Robin Hood movies with Errol Flynn and Kevin Costner, respectively!
Then one guy's like, "Ooh, let's do Robin Hood!" And another guy's like, "That dude that prances around the woods robbing rich pansies and stupidly giving his loot to the poor?"
"Yeah that guy!"
"Can we have epic battle scenes at least?"
"Yeah I'm sure we can contrive something like that."
"Sigh, alright. Robin Hood it is." -

Even as the demon's sword impaled his chest and sent him hurtling back in to a rotting, ancient pillar, the vile creature grinned insidiously.
Darrian struggled to his feet and fixed his hands upon the handle of his massive weapon, "In the name of Torm I cast this demon back to the Nine Hells!"
As his hammer fell throw the air, a distant enchantment echoed throw the shadows: "Praeses, Alia, Fero!"
Darrian's hammer stopped as if it had crashed into wall and then become stuck in it. His eyes contorted in confusion and surprise, "What new devilry has this creature summoned?"
A man slid out of the shadows to his right, robed in brown, his thumb and middle finger fixed on his temples, his right hand extended toward the motionless hammerhead. His hands then fell, his concentration broken, and he looked hard at Darrian, "The demon has said that your anger feeds him- do not raise your weapon upon him just yet-"
Darrian nudged him away, "Who are you- no, you do not concern me. Go about your business, there is a demon to be slayed and a wizard will not step in my way!"
He slung his hammer once again throw the air and in to the robed demon. He was tossed aside like a rag doll in a hurricane, tattered, blackened robes and bits of shadow collapsing and hurtling to the ground.
"See? There is no beast that can withstand my hammer!" laughed Darrian haughtily.
As he spoke the demon raised itself from the dusty floor, growing taller and larger than before, a thicker darkness and twang of terror upon him this time. His sword seemed somehow more solid and flickered with a wicked black lightning. His eyes grew brighter still, and he laughed.

They aren't all bad. There were a few good ones, and everyone does have a right to discuss the possibilites.

Oh, okay. I guess it just depends on your point of view, then. For instance, I'm really sick of people with 3 posts coming in and when I say, "There's always a possibility that it won't be Diablo III- like MD said, it could also be WC IV or just more hype for WotLK," saying to me, "Evry1 who thinkz is WC4 F U!!one11!"
The majority of people that have this pattern of joining, posting once or twice, and then never posting again once the event(s) is(are) over 1) have no information to back up their argument, 2) are hopeless fan bois that ignorantly believe things without proper review of the facts, 3) flame for no reason, 4) don't thoroughly read through posts and then flame the person, 5) spam incessently, 6) all post "I've been watching this forum for x years and have been playing Diablo since it came out," 7) regurgitate what has already been said at least once on every single page and then say, "WTF I DONT WANTZ 2 REED TEH HOLE F***IN THRED!!", and 8) are usually very immature about their posts.
Given, there are exceptions, and immaturity on a site for a game is okay (in general, though since this game is technically for adults, this shouldn't be an issue.) I've seen this time and time again, and you have to understand, from where I'm standing it gets very, very annoying.

Yeah, a Blizzcast was ruled out. Supposedly, the next two Blizzcasts will not be Diablo-related. That's also a good thing- it could mean that they're too busy (the Diablo team) to do a Blizzcast.

That really has nothing to do with the angel itself.
That's exactly what I'm saying. They're beyond our rules. It's obviously going to confuse us because it would be like trying to define a banana with HTML- we are something completely different than them.
If were are to assume that there are angels, then we have to assume we, too, have spirituality. That is the level, then, that a "spirit" would communicate on. But, in another sense, if you assume there are angels, then something must have created them, unless you want to buy in to some kind of spiritual evolution or something, like some new agers do. If we are to assume then, for sake of argument, that angels do exist, and that they also have a creator, we would have to assume that the same being created our spirituality, and, thus, everything that would come along with that, primarily meaning everything, at which point the creator would be called "god". And if this god were to create everything, he or she would have no chains to our rules, and thus be able to change them or go beyond them at anytime he/she so wishes. So, this god could command the angel to appear to deliver some kind of divine message, and then take whatever necessary steps he or she so chooses to keep that creature from being defined quantitatively.
