Ohh and the explosion towards the ends - if you pause it just right - it looks like Cain and Leah getting blown back - not sure where they are though, certainly not in the Cathedral from the Beta.
Yeah, they're in the cathedral - that's from the opening cinematic they released a while back.
AH ya, just watched it - it is the same ! Didnt recognize it
Quite teasing. Struggling with what to do, for the next two weeks to kill the time :/ Right now I'm doing some transparent editing with a release date countdown widget for the Windows Sidebar, and combined it with an epic wallpaper so far. Beside that I don't know what to do. Beta is boring at the moment, with all achievements done and allmost no more upgrades on my characters :/

The last statement they made is a huge exaggeration. Unless they give us a lot more than Arenas, the scope of the PvP content is extremely small compared to their PvE game. With all the extra players who are PvP centric coming in, as well as constant community hype from streams and tournaments (something that is always less interesting in PvE), I'm not alone in saying it would be a good investment.
6 years trying to balance wow pvp and it isn't balanced. In fact, you could easily say that Blizzard catering to PVP'ers for balancing issues is one of the reasons that the PVE changes so much and has gotten worse and worse.
Exactly! Separate the systems and both sides don't face the issues with the other side. When Blizzard gets past the imaginary hurdle of lack of human intelligence capable of understand different tooltips between the two they can have two amazing games in one.
What basic user experience issues? They really must go over that in fine detail as it's fundamental for them to explain why they "vehemently oppose" such an effective solution.
Well it would seem to me like, in order to balance pvp and pve seperately to the extend where pvp could constitute an e-sport, they would have to either change each classes' spell pool, or change how the spells work in quite a fundamental way. We wouldn't just be talking decreased crowd control.
So imagine a wizard derping around in PvE, deciding he likes his character and wants to do some pvp. Would it be a fun and nonconfusing experience if he or she would realistically have to learn to play what is essentially a whole new class? Of course there will be lots of people who would easily recover from that initial blow, and take up the challenge, but that would mean that PvP becomes a thing for a relatively elite group, hard to get into for the common forrest noob.
That is so not true. The spells would effectively work the same way, they would just have different durations, cast times, damage...just tweaking numbers not the full mechanics. It would not be a "whole new class". It's this form of exaggeration that is keeping the balance element between PvE and PvP in the gaming stone ages.
Using the WoW case, it was not hard to get used to the fact that certain spells were disabled in PvP (old Curse of Doom is one example) or worked very differently (old Exorcism). It worked fine, people got used to it almost immediately. EVERYONE but the same people who are already terrible at any level of PvE and no amount of handholding could save them are the only people who couldn't figure it out. Blizzard paved the way SUCCESSFULLY in the past and they're just too piss afraid for no good reason to keep moving along with no evidence to back them up.
Iv just regained the use of the english language after watching that. Is that Imperius's spear in Tyrael's hands? Im soooooooo excited for this game. Hell its allmost a epic playable movie.
I literally cannot stop watching it. It is just so epic. WHY did this have to come out today?! I have been unproductive all day and I predict my next two weeks will be the same >.<
FFS when you post something which has something with the game lore THAT is going to happen plz put them in "spoiler" code.Some of us are avoiding reading Book of Cain and the dataming so that we do enjoy the game more.
Thank you for being so carefree
It's not much of spoiler to talk about the teaser version of the TV commercial and compare notes about it or whatnot. You could've reasonably foreseen this and so choose to skip viewing the comments.
That Inferno Hardcore comment gives me the shits, honestly so many stupid design choices, for the love of god.
My friend and I are excited about that :| Actually having a huge upper cap for challenge, there's always something to strive for! Now we can actually focus on "beating in inferno" in HC as a solid goal.
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but a theory developed in my mind after watching the commercial. Going to try and spoiler tag it, so you can avoid it if you want...
It appears that at 0:09 it is Imperius being knocked back towards the Diamond Gates. But knocked back by what? Well later on at 0:17 you see Tyrael about to thrust what looks like Imperius's spear into something. Normally we see Tyrael with his sword, so it is odd to see him using a spear, even though he threw his sword into the Worldstone at the end of Diablo 2. You can see a similarity in the setting or background in both clips (both large golden halls). Both Imperius and Tyrael appear to be fighting someone or something (what we do not know). If the spear that Tyrael is holding is indeed Imperius's spear, then I think it's safe to make the assumption that Tyrael battles Imperius at some point, and judging by the clip at 0:17, kills him with the blow we see.
Eh, already been mentioned, but not quite in such detail.

I downloaded the video so I could look at it frame by frame in certain areas.
The new footage starts out somewhere in a room in the Silver City.
Then there is Imperius being knocked back; it is unclear just who or what he is fighting in front of the Diamond Gates.
We get a partial view of Diablo curling his hand and moving his arm to attack something or someone. (It should be noted here that the Silver City can be seen in the background.)
The crystal that adorns the Diamond Gates shatters.
Tyrael grabs -- yes "grabs", I watched the frames -- Imperius' weapon, Solarion. He then thrusts the spear towards someone, most likely Imperius. Note in the background that it seems to be the same room that we saw in the "unintended" footage from the Diablo Retrospective video.
That's pretty much the gist of it. Once the full version is on YouTube, I'll do the same for it what I did earlier. Knowing my luck, I'm betting I will get beaten to it.
Edit: Well, color me blue. Turned out to be the actual TV spot. *sigh*

I'll continue the spoiler just in case people don't wanna know but its kind of an obvious thing to talk about.
I don't think its Diablo's fist. I'm almost certain that is Mephisto's fist. Small correction but still very meaningful I think, so we can expect to see all the prime evils returning perhaps?
