    *Awards two points.* Anyone who can make such an in-depth annalasys of Trag'Oul is awsome in my book.


    Also, very interesting read. I really do want to see the Necros, and having them as npc's is better then nothing.

    ^_^ ~Blush.~ Thank you, Link. >> Now I need to finish reading the thread... lol. editing once done. << :cute:

    where does inarius play into all this?

    and what about the amazonian and barbarian deities?

    Well, I'm not entirely sure what you mean about Inarius. Tra(n)g'Oul despised him because of his desire to use Sanctuary - and the Nephalem(humans) as his own slave-worshipping people. Tra(n)g'Oul wants them to live unhindered by Heaven or Hell, hence why it would make sense he appears as Ithrael and voting for Inarius to be sent off to Hell (he'd no longer be able to do any thing.)

    As far as the Amazonian and Barbarian deities, there are technically none. We known that there are Nephalems in their past, who, like Rathma knew of their struggle and gathered followers of mortals (their children, after the time of peace, = humans/mortals) and the Barbarians had Bul-Kathos, (the Immortal King?)

    I'm not entirely sure about who the Nephalem is for the Amazonians, but it is a similar story. I believe theirs was a woman named Vasily.

    The Sorceresses, the D2 sorceresses that we know of, is kind of splintered with theories however one of the largest (and my own preferance) is that the Nephalem Esu, who they have their namesake of as Zann Esu, gathered a following that splintered after her death into a series of covenants that eventually reformed and became the "Zann Esu" order which we know of.

    Quote from "Dauroth" »
    Finally someone who shares the same opinion! Btw, some guy said that Diablo used to have three spikes (horns) on his chin in D1 and D2. Why should that mean that he MUST have them this time. He will probably make his great appearance in his not-yet-seen form. So why shouldn't he have mouths on his shoulders. Concerning the spikes on the chin, his chin does look like a single spike, but there are two more spikes (or horns) that are near his mouth (his middle, or main mouth). That could be the very proof that this IS Diablo. Btw, we don't even know what the rest of his body looks like, so...


    I've been sayin' all that for forever! It's just him in his true form, the one Jereid Cain fucked up. :)

    posted a message on God in Sanctuary?
    Quote from name="Elfen Lied" »
    Sanctuary is a blue state. God has no place here.

    I hope they don't bring God into the Diablo series, nothing against God, I am Protestant myself, but I liked the seemingly useless Council or Angels in charge. Their wasn't one demon in chage of Hell, seemed only fair Heaven mirriored (to a certain extent) this.

    Heavenspeed is a little long winded, and while more correct, sounds a little weird. Godspeed is quickier, and anyone who has played enough medieval fantasy epics knows they had better hurry up and do whatever it is they are suppose to be doing.

    Technically there is a "God."

    Trang'Oul, but I don't think Tyrael prays to him... he may be friends. >>

    posted a message on Tra(n)g'Oul theories.
    Well, to those ignorant, Tra(n)g'Oul is the only "deity" that exists in the Diablo Universe, so far as we know. But then again, there is only so much we know about him.

    1) He was created either at the time of Sanctuary's birth /OR/ was there beforehand. I personally believe it was beforehand.

    2) He is essentially the cosmos, seeing as each star is another point on his back and each shows another way that the world may of progressed. (He is depicted as a 'dragon' made up entirely of stars that resides in reality and in "The Void" - which is/possibly known as the Black Abyss?)

    3) Rathma*, the first Nephalem born, was contacted by Tra(n)g'Oul, who had taken pity on the Nephalem/Mortals. He had been, with the worldstone, cloaking them from the forces of Heaven and Hell.
    *Is allegedly the only Nephalem to of retained his powers, due to his connection with Tra(n)g'Oul.

    4)Is believed to host the world of Sanctuary "upon his back." This may or may not be metaphoric, though it is likely a combination of both pertaining to his vigil over them and the fact that the world exists as part of his being.

    5)Sent Rathma and Uldyssian to tamper with the worldstone, to give the Nephalem all of their powers back. This did not actually happen, however, Uldyssian changed the way it worked and partially due to these occurances the High Heavens discovered the existence of Sanctuary. *
    *note: they discovered that Lilith had tampered with it to stop the crippling of the Nephalem power, however, this was changed back by the end of the Sin Wars trilogy.

    6) Grants the Necromancers the ability to twist the borders between life and death with understanding concerning the Great Cycle of Being; educated Rathma on all of these things, which he set down for his future disciples long before any other schools of magic existed, making the Priests of Rathma the oldest Sorcerers.*
    *It should be noted that we have seen the Witchdoctor raise the dead, however, they may draw this from other forces aside from Tra(n)g'oul, seeing as the demonic forces can also raise the dead. It may, however, be that they were once a group of necromancers that had tried migrating and fell into dissolution, merging with native tribes and losing sight of their connection with the Great Cycle of Being.

    7) It is believed that he once entered Sanctuary when it was needed the most, however, this was rare and no one is entirely sure whom he was and what he did. However, it is agreed it was of the utmost importance. This being is called the Avatar of Tra(n)g'Oul.

    8) It is theorized that the real Avatar of Tra(n)g'Oul is Archangel Ithrael - (From the wiki now, verbatum)

    It is interesting to note that his personality is shared by another much more powerful sentient being, Trang'Oul. It is speculated that Ithrael is the real Avatar of Trang'Oul, because his being an Angel does not bias his allegiance to the High Heavens. He has been equally supportive of the Burning Hells. In fact, it was his decision to gift Inarius to Mephisto
    to secure his part of the deal to leave Sanctuary untouched.*

    *This plays into his desire, along with that which he passed on to the Necromancers, to want no interference from the forces of the High Heavens to those of the Burning Hells.

    9) His name is Trang'Oul, despite ANY other spellings you have seen, anywhere. It is properly Trang'Oul.




    Well... there you go. This is why necromancers probably wont be playable any more, because you'd do stuff that would be out of whack for them. Will they be present? Obviously.

    I think it's a safe bet to say that the folks up at blizzard didn't sit around in a circle and say "lets recycle that same backlight throughout every-dungeon!" again, people are assuming that every stage will be a clone of the one we saw in the demo.

    Blizzard themselves did say that stage variety (not cartoony-ness) is what they are aiming for. Lack of information kinda forces you to base all of your opinions around the first stage that you were allowed to see.

    Also, am I the only one who noticed that the cathedral got alot darker from the beginning scene to the end with the thousand pounder? The setting in the thousand pounder fight was actually very dark and gloomy, as oppossed to the fight with the ghouls, but no-one noticed, because the brighter fight with the ghouls lasted longer and was it was the first of Diablo 3 that you saw.

    Lol, you're right. BTW, who started our petition for the continuation? I'd like to thank him. :)

    I hadn't even really thought about it till you said it aloud, but somewhere in the back of my head it was floating around... :) GJ.

    Atmosphere is all about opinion for the most part.

    I just dislike the green hue and messing with my graphics isn't going to fix that. I walk outdoors and all the sudden the grass now looks crazy.


    It's the price you pay for being so anal.

    These threads make me sad. If you want pets and ridable animals I hear Blizzard has another game thats already out with those features.


    I'm actually agreeing with you on this one, kind of. I do not want horses, or oxen, or whatever...

    ...however...

    ... if, some how, maybe... you know, since we have to fight heaven and hell..

    um... well...i would kind of like the ability to tame something like the siegebreaker, or, well, not tame. Really just hold an ax to it's throat and make it charge angelic forces... that'd be sooooooooo ooooooooo awesome... yeah.

    I'll work on a video immediately when it comes out, but here.

    Right click on your desktop.

    PROPERTIES
    -Settings
    (towards the bottom right you should see a bar of colors. Click the button...
    "ADVANCED" beneath it. This should bring up a larger box with a series of tabs at the top.
    One of these tabs should be "COLOR."

    Click it.

    There should be three dials, one for...
    GAMMA
    BRIGHTNESS
    CONTRAST

    Above these, or near them there should be a series of check-mark boxes - one with "all colors, "red, "green, "blue."

    Take off All Colors. Select Blue or Red, but not green.

    Mess with the Gamma, Brightness and Contrast till you have a dark ratio of color.

    I'll eventually find the specific numbers needed to remove the green hue when it ships. -_-

    Also, you should be able to save it so you can load it each time before you play.

    wouldnt that make all the green go away? like as in the locust swarms or the hypothetical poison spell clouds?

    and not everyone is that fortunate to upgrade.


    No, not unless you change the Prime color to the direct opposite. :\

    Which unless you're an idiot, you wouldn't... you'd do it till you hit a "neutral" color.

    I hope all of you realize that most graphics cards now have the ability to adjust the color for individual programs/applications.

    For those of you that dont, simply right-click on your desktop and look at your video properties.

    And for those of you who cant do this... upgrade.

    There i think i solved all the "D3 looks like WOW" problems, i deserve to have my name in the D3 credits in the "Special Thanks" part.

    Yay, Bzd!

    I'll sign a petition for that!

    Anyway, they wont make a poll/petition, - about that, Dem.

    Sorry!
