Eldritch posted a message on Activision and Blizzard Are OnePosted in: News
The President and CEO of Activision Blizzard is going to be Bobby Kotick of Activision.Quote from "Alcovitch" »Blizzard has said many many times before that they hold complete control over what games they make, how those games are made, how long they take to make, what platform they will release them on and when it's considered "done".
Anyone would be a fool to step in and mess with the receipe that Blizzard is working with. Everyone knows that whatever it is that they do behind closed doors, works. It works better then anyone else in the industry. A smart man who buys out Blizzard would say " Good job, keep doing whatever it is that you do!".
But otherwise, yes, I'm sure you're right. -

Eldritch posted a message on Blizzard Comments On The Classes In Diablo 3Posted in: News
How could it? The Witch Doctor plays the role the Necromancer did.Quote from "AManWhoLikesHisMetal" »I keep hearing and seeing people alluding to the Necromancer not making a return...
I hope this isn't true, but whatever.
I somehow doubt that any of the current concept art depicts any unannounced playable classes -- only monsters, NPCs, and announced playable classes.Quote from "EvolutionXtinct" »I predict there will be a "cleric" class, one of the artworks shows a guy w/ a blue aura in his left hand w/ a long beard. I think this one will be mentioned next. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Belial and Azmodan are bitter enemies who would be at each other's throats faster than you could blink. They've been warring each other over Hell for centuries.

- Asteroids are extremely large rocks, some the size of small planets.
- Comets are also large rocks, but with a large quantity of ice as well, which slowly boils off into a long trail of gas. They take weeks to move across the sky.
- Meteoroids are smaller rocks. When they enter an atmosphere and ignite, they are called meteors. They move through the atmosphere at the speed shown in the cinematic. If they impact, they are called meteorites.
Sorry for astro-geeking out, but 'comet is more appropriate' set off a reflex. A typographical twitch.My first thought on seeing the trailer, after seeing the concept art, was that it was Tyrael plummeting to Sanctuary after being judged by the Angiris Council, since it has been established since the destruction of the Worldstone that the wrath of Heaven is quite fiery -- Tyrael's sword engulfs in orange flame when he hurls it towards the Worldstone, and likewise the Angel who confronts Tyrael here himself ignites to do so, and the same sort of fire is also seen burning from Tyrael's chest here, as well as where his wings are being severed in the same image. So, I think more wings tearing off during his fall is the most likely explanation. He has fourteen, right? Judging by the concept art depicting him wingless, he did not seem to lose any clothing.
It's also possible that the cinematic artists were simply told to depict a meteor streaking across the sky, without being told what it was.
Alternatively, we could be totally off-track.

I am intrigued by the mysterious new MMO, considering that for it they seem to be using modern technology, for once. Currently modern, anyway. But I can't really 'look forward' to it if I don't know its setting and haven't liked Blizzard's approach to the MMO genre thus far.

The Angels and Demons that chose to join him in Sanctuary together spawned a hybrid race called the Nephalem, more powerful than even the beings which sired them.
Lilith, the daughter of Mephisto and mother of Andariel, got it into her head to use the Nephalem as soldiers, and she systematically murdered each and every one of the Angels and Demons in Sanctuary, except for her lover, the Archangel Inarius. Inarius wanted no part of her plan, nor did he wish to harm her, and so behind her back, Inarius altered the Worldstone to not only shield Sanctuary from Heaven and Hell, but also to weaken the power of the Nephalem with each generation. And so slowly, the Nephalem became the mortals that live in Sanctuary today.
Heaven captured Inarius and made a pact with Mephisto that he would leave Sanctuary alone in exchange for Inarius as his own prisoner. Heaven then wiped the memory of Sanctuary's inhabitants in order to allow them to develop on their own with no knowledge of their former power.
A playable Angel would make the human classes rather obsolete, no? They're not Nephalem again, yet.

Heaven captured Inarius and Lilith returned to Hell. Mephisto requested to take him as his own prisoner, and Heaven allowed this under the condition that Mephisto not harm Sanctuary. Heaven then wiped the memory of Sanctuary's inhabitants in order to allow them to develop on their own with no knowledge of their former power.

It is stated somewhere that Cain travelled to the Tristram Cathedral in earch of some information. It seems entirely possible that they captured Cain while he was wandering the place and did something to him. Imagine for a moment that they are a Cult of Belial.
Edit: Great title on that concept art in the lower right. I hadn't noticed the resemblance.

For example, this bright meteorite travelled halfway across the United States and ultimately just left a dent in someone's car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sByie3TUsuw
