I really like your idea of picking up limbs and using them, perhaps a cannibal ritualist would eat another ones arm or maybe his own to regain hp/mana/damage buff.
33 death animations per character is HUUUUGE are you sure its 33? I hope they are 33 very diverse and unique ones with at least 10 REALLY REALLY cool ones like the ones we are talking about.
I am sure most of them will be nonchalant fall over and die type. But it seems that no matter the animation type, if you are playing monk everything just explodes which is disappointing.
Im kind of Guy who likes Challanges, and i dont like it when even mere peon like mob cant give me even a little challange or surprize.
I also beleive in a ever changing and develeloping battlefield.
Lets go back to my Peon comment here, lets say we have a group of Skelys with weak armor a few shields little armor sounds pretty easy right?
well lets JUMP into the action, i kill one of the Skelys with a shield and what i saw had the most armor, Biggest Threat im gona take him out first so i do and i move on the others. Well while i do that, one of the other skelys sees im distracted with his freinds and takes the opportunity to salavage his freinds corpse stealing his armor and shield, and lets say he had a shield too so now he has two, and he can hold them both up to defend himself maybe even charge me with to stun or even throw it at me. Or maybe he didnt have a shield to begin with, well now he does lol.
Another idea to add to pile, Ever Changing Battlefield. This was my Reply to the Nonchalant Mob Comment BTW lol. Their nice and everything but i like the occasional one to do something out of the ordinary like.....grow a fucking brain and not just walk into my axe Blindly and mix it up a little.
This is a Realy good idea that i agree with, hitting certain spots activating certain death animations, Id also add in that certain injuries might hinder or HELP the guy, For Instance, a Thousand Pounder, "Say you just so happen to Hit the right spot where you cut off his arm, Hed pick up his own arm and either 1. Throw it at you or 2. Use it as a longer weapon extending his attacking range. Or 3. Pain can be a powerful motivator and he gets really pissed off and Runs faster/ attacks Faster Or any combination of things.......be imaginative.
The newest FPS Wolfenstein game had a few things like this depending on if a Limb or Something got shot.
My Personal Favorite on that game was shooting a Nazi Just Below his neck hitting a certain spot that would give the animation of him drowning to death on his own blood which i thought was a funny touch, I tried to make it my mission to hit there throughout a entire mission once, !*!* it was easier to get a headshot than hit that spot lol.
But Id Also like to add i recently Saw a Video from the D3 Devs that said they were working on these things, but I think they were more...enviromental ways to die, like Getting Crushed/burned to death. And I think they were on something like....33 diffrent animations PER monster. Big emphasis on the PER there because there is alot of monsters.
I Dont think we need to worry im sure Blizzerd is already working on this, im sure that 33 things are sure to increase a shit load by release.
All Blizzerd Games will be merged into one account for Bnet.
For example i did once apon a time play wow, but now i dont, however once i start to play Diablo 3 I can log onto Bnet and play D3 online with the same account i played WoW with.
Its to bundle everything together, play every single Blizzerd Game with only 1 account instead of making seperate accounts for each game.
Aside from Trag'Oul, we don't have any name for any sort of deity outside of Heaven and Hell. The Amazon gods are most likely Nephalem (though it's not confirmed), and Bul-Kathos, Rathma, Esu are also Nephalem, who are just angel and demon blood. Of course, there are other beings similar to Trag'Oul, but they've only been mentioned very briefly in the Sin War trilogy. We don't know anything about them.
Who knows how many Nehpalem there were in the beginning? It's possible the monk belief could come from there as well. Or it might be something entirely new.
As for a Creator god similar to in our monotheistic religions, there is none.
I might not go so far as to say there's nothing.
Though im not about to say there is something as well.
Im pretty sure were gona have to wait for the actual game itself to answer alot of these kind of question's.
Like Ive said before, So many Loose or untied knots.
If you want reasons, beginning conflict, first battle etc. there are none. The war is a perpetual conflict which is generally assumed to have existed for as long as time itself, with Heaven at one end, most commonly thought to represent order, and Hell on the other end, representing chaos. Broadly speaking that is.
Bah that leaves just so many untied knots ><
Ah well, cross yer fingers and pray next year the game comes out and my so many questions are answered in it.
Some works (novels, sci-fi, games and others) mentions that there is a layer of hell that is literally freeze over. Its a ice world of torment if you will. Also that in the bible that God is shown or represented as a burning bush or fire.
Close to it but you didnt quite answer the actual question i had as to why there is a layer of hell frozen over.
The reason for this is and why i think azmodan lair would be frozen is because when you sin per say its supposed to stop you, freeze you in your tracks, or when you witness other deadly sins.
Example: You come home from work and you turn on the TV and you watch the news and you hear about some horrible Murder where a man Murderd his wife or something(Details arent realy important just the sin is) What does this make you do? Well most normal people would be stopped in their tracks and FROZEN in Disbelief or shock if it touched you that much.
I could go on for a while more but i think youl get the point which is Sin's are supposed to freeze you and slow you down, fill you with shock, disbelief, remorse, bla bla bla the list goes on, lets get back on track to my orginal question tho.
Any Detials on the VERY VERY beginning of the War between Heaven and Hell in the Diablo Universe, anyone have these?
I dont believe that the Expansion to wow will be released....so early.
It was only JUST announced and for them to release it just this next year would be...silly to me.
I personally thought Wrath of the Lich king was a flop. It was greatly polished and perfected in some area's....but had other areas that were just...mediocre, not to mention how so many class's are broken.(Fucking Resto Druids)
If Blizzerd wants to FIX wow, I would hope to god they dont release this new expansion untill 2011 or later and polish it to perfection.
In religious scriptures and other similar text, fire can be a tool of heaven and divine beings, like angels, which is of more of a purifying essence than a burning one....doesn't have to be of something with a malevelont nature.
Plus, I remember about the Fiery Angel you're talking about that the wings only appeared to be on fire because of how the energy of them was flailing.
Very true, i had thought of that before i posted.
And a little after i rememberd reading a post about the fiery winged angel having some concept art so i decided to go searching for it so i could get a better look at it and see if there's any symbolism.
I found a single piece of art on the D3 official sight or...at least something that might look simular and from what i can see it is a pure angel, tho its too early to say if this was the angel spoken of in the books.
Added crap you may answer if you like.
A little known fact here mentioning the Purifying essence of fire as well you might like to know.
Know the phrase, When Hell Freezes over? Well.....if you know your history and reading of a few books can you tell me why this is actually a very possible view of hell.
Hint: Azmodan, the Lord of Sin. I would imagine this guys lair or place he hangs out in as being completley frozen over.
I know this little topic of myn here almost died but i wanted to front up something new ive found around these forums that made me get to thinking as evidence of my Prime Evil Father AKA King of Hell theory.
The Fiery Winged Angel...........Now i know he helps the main characters of some book and appears to be a good guy....but am I the only person who seems to think its kind of Wierd that his bloody wings are on fire!?!?
I beleive theres a symbolism there and Fiery Winged angels usually arent angels from heaven, and the fact that he IS a angel makes it even more curious because that means he could be original Fallen.(In alot Religious storys of the origins of heaven and hell and how the war started it involves some rogue angel going ageisnt heaven.)
Course this means im proding uncoverd territory here(or at least unknown for me.) and that is the beginning of the War between Heaven and Hell.
Would anyone have any Lore links they could give me as to the beginning of the war between heaven and hell please?
You cant realy say that Diablo 3 is better than Starcraft 2 because their two diffrent genre's.
Its better to compare games out of the same Genre than to say which one is funner based on game type's because everyone has their own taste in Genre, Some like RTS's other like RPG's Others may only play FPS's.
Ones a RTS and ones a RPG Hack'n Slash. This depends on your taste in gaming.
As for why Starcraft 2 coming out first. Its a far older Game, and im afraid to say it in this forum.......but more looked forward too to alot of the RTS Community.
Im going to Nerd Rage the shit out of Star Craft 2 when it comes out by playing for a few days straight lolz.
Diablo 3 however seeing as its a little bit younger in development and was almost thought of a being forgotten about. Will now have Blizzerds full attention when Starcraft is out. And This means hey....its gona get done faster and possibly be more polished.
All i can say is that once Diablo 3 comes out im gona Nerd Rage on that too lolz. I love Red Bull....it makes Nerd Rage days so much better.
Considering the Graphics and the animations made out of the Gameplay Trailier. The fact they were working on the 4th and 5th Classes a loooong time ago......id say 70-80% done.
Id expect a summer release of 2010 or Fall release of 2010. This is VEEERY hopefull thinking however.
But heres the good news, we wont have to wait long ti find out exactly! BLIZZ CON IS SOON!
If theres one thing that Demons dont feel Zhar, its loyalty.
No, brothers or not Demons hold no loyalty too anyone or anything even if they be a Lowley Imp or Diablo himself. Lower demons only follow orders of Higher Ranked ones because they have no choice or theyl be destroyed. But if given the chance to betray and overcome said Higher ranked Demon they will take the opportunity and make sure they suffer for it.
Geuss my answer will have to come directly from the game itself on the motives of three for being allies, tho......thing is......they have probably been sharing hell for a looooooong time becuase how old is the Diablo Universe supposed to be?
And im sure in that looooong time they have all been around im sure the 3 would have at least tried to destroy each other a few times, and if they havent then what again is keeping them from doing so.
I beleive this could be one of a few things. 1. a Unbreakable Pact they made for power (which being demons im sure they would know of a way to get out of it.) 2. There is a King or Ruler of Hell out there who plays behind the scenes and just never reveals himself or hasent revealed himself yet(Na I havent given up completley on this one yet lolz). 3. As Zhar said they just have simular motives of enslaving Humanity, but even while theyd be doing this Im sure they would be schemeing to weaken each other in some way so when the time came they wouldnt have much of a fight on thier hands in the end which im sure we would find out about while playing the game.
These three things are my final Speculations, their could be more but ive choosen these three as of now, however we wont be able to confirm anything till the game......dammit i wish it was coming out right now!

Its a game based off the Divine Comedy"A Poem that is a VERY good way to visualize Hell."
Well heres the link to the Main Site
http://www.dantesinferno.com/home.action
Enjoy the 9 circles of hell
And just remember, hell is always 100 times worse than any Human can imagine.
This looks like a game many of you Diablo fans can play while you wait for D3
