I have a feeling that this character may have been corrupted, and you may fight him.

Being one so affiliated with documenting the "exotic" lifeforms in Sanctuary, I can only think that he tangled with something he couldn't handle.

I think the crux of the whole "world modding" argument is that they use terrain randomizers, as stated in the gameplay video. I can understand modding terrain for yourself, but for online play, I think that it would be a travesty.

I would not like to play other player's created terrain that was rigged against/for you. I just would like to play the game as intended. If you want to mod it client side for your single player fun, so be it.

My question is, whether or not the art style is changed/color pallette altered.... are you really not going to play anymore? If that's really your main beef with it I think Blizzard doesn't have much to worry about...

I came across this name while perusing the forums and thought that perhaps others may find the blurb "About the Author" as interesting as I did.

This is the last known writing of Abd al-Hazir. Known for his compilation of weird and wonderful facts about our unique world, he has unfortunately been missing since late last year.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Abd al-Hazir is a renowned gentleman, historian, and scholar. He has recently taken up the unprecedented task of investigating, researching, and compiling information about the unique locales and denizens of our world.

I have the sneaking suspicion that this name will play an important role in the upcoming installment of the Diablo series.

I'd like to know what your thoughts are on the bestiary notes.

Hey... I created a thread for this about 2 days ago O.o

I, here and now, lobby for an official "Rant thread."

Class specific items are needed....

Imagine a Barbarian with a wand... etc. It just doesn't makes sense. That and I think it brings a dynamic part to each class. It's something to strive for, etc. I'm assuming they will be creating sets, and it would only makes sense to make those sets class specific. This way the loot table will favor the classes they are used for.

This is not new. Go to characters, click on the Witch Doctor.

There is a streamlined video that shows all of these moves =]

I'm curious if they'll reuse any of the old names (other than Diablo). I mean, in theory you did kill them.

Cults just crack me up, what can I say.

How ironic, that's my birthday.

I think the best b-day I've had was 9/9/99 when it was supposed to be the end of the world.

I've been thinking about the storyline and where this third installment of Diablo is going. The worldstone is shattered... and 20 a meteor strikes upon Sanctuary bringing with it a storm of evil.

I'm curious as to what vein of questing they will be creating. I feel that it will be much more developed than D1/D2, and rightly so. I also liked that they have narrated parts of the story.

What bosses are you expecting to see? A return of Diablo himself? (Naturally)

Blizzard seems to have been following real mythological/biblical names for their bosses and I was curious to think whether or not there were others they might employ in DIII.

Here is a list of names I've come across for that are Latin/Biblical names from hell.

Names:
Male:
Anubis: Jackal-headed God of the underworld.
Azreal: This is the name of The Angel of Death. He separates the soul upon death.
Beezlebub: “Lord or Possessor of the high place.” This can also be construed as Baal…
Cerberus (Kerberos): “Demon of the Pit.” Name of the three-headed dog that guards the entrance of Hades.
Cernnunos: “Horned, antlered.” Celtic myth name of an antlered god of animals, fertility, and the underworld.
Charon: Greek myth name of the ferryman in Hades.
Demogorgon: Name of a God from the underworld.
Enki: God of creation, wisdom, and keeper of laws.
Erebos: “Darkness.” Name of the offspring of Chaos.
Hades: God of the Underwolrd
Khthonis: “Of earth/underworld.”
Orpheus: “Darkness of night.” Name of a poet who charmed Hades.
Osiris: Another God of the Underworld.
Plouton: aka Pluto
Sameal: The Prince of Darkness
Veles: Mythical name meaning “enclosed” or “ensealed”

Female:
Alcetis: Princess in Greek myth.
Elysia: “Lightning struck.”
Ereshkigal: God of what is known as “the land of the dead.”
Hecate: Goddess of witchcraft, demons graves, etc.
Kore: A goddess of the underworld, meaning “Maiden.”
Nyx: Goddess of Night
Persephone: “Person-slayer”




These are just some names I came across and thought readers of this forum may find it interesting. Post your thoughts!

Yeah... I have no idea what is wrong with this post.

I think traveling merchants would be a good idea, personally. Depending on the circumstances, one can spawn in certain places that would sell hard-to attain items. Perhaps even certain items that can only be bought from these merchants.


However, I don't think the gold will have much value in this once again, ether. Based on the gameplay trailier gold seems to drop on a regular basis.

It never ceases to astound me about how much failure I see when people create fake boxart.

I mean... seriously, please, look at old boxes. Do any of the old diablo games use our number system? No! They use Roman Numerals.

Not to mention, I think it's CERTAIN they'll be using the Diablo III logo they created.... which looks sick.

Well... you're using images that people have seen before. And most people that are excited about this game and know about it enough to be perusing fansites will have seen them. Blizzard wouldn't reuse old images for box art.

If you wanted to do a good "fake", you would have to create the artwork yourself in true Diablo Style. A good way of doing this is looking at how they created the other boxes, and think about how to make them 1 million times better.

I say 1 million times better because look at all the fake D3 trailers out... then compare it to the REAL one. Simply mindblowing in comparison. In other words, if you want to do a good job faking, you have to have really good artistic talent and a good head on your shoulders to outthink their design team.
