I think we all need to remember what a harbinger usually is.
–noun 1.a person who goes ahead and makes known the approach of another; herald. 2.anything that foreshadows a future event; omen; sign: Frost is a harbinger of winter. 3.a person sent in advance of troops, a royal train, etc., to provide or secure lodgings and other accommodations. –verb (used with object) 4.to act as harbinger to; herald the coming of.
So... it pretty much points even more so to an angel.
good find. i was reading it yesterday and FELT like something was different but brushed it off

As I already said in another thread about the artwork video disappearance, D3 website seems to have been rushed, and they lacked a lot of time to polish things. When it was first put online, there were a lot of graphical and alignment problems on multiple browsers, and most of the content was changed.
The artwork video was removed, a lot of text seems to have changed, the background music for Tristram and the Cathedral was changed... No wonder why they keep changing things, but I don't think it has anything to do with some people finding about Imperius.
I second this. The site was very incomplete, felt almost as though it was splashed together in a few hours the night before WWI. They are simply refining things as time goes by. Chances are, they aren't actually changing anything, just realizing that certain texts didn't convey the correct mental imagery and decided to alter the wording.

The most important thing I took from this change is that they don't want us to think that we are going to fight Angels. But it sure as hell looks that way now. I think we were right on the money with the "Imperius Theory"
I think we can interpret this two ways.
1: Blizzard noticed people were getting in to something, and in classical manners make their aims and goals more obscure by consusing us.
What this mean: We get to fight Heaven as well.
2. Blizzard realised that the text does not accurately portray what will happen in the game, and so do not wish to convey an idea that will not be implemented.
What this means: While we might fight some angels or the like, the conflict is based against Hell like it has been before.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
I think though they love the game and are fans just like us, blah blah, they're also very business oriented, and this hype shit is rather ridiculous. I've spoken about this before - I'm not saying they're finished with the game, but I can see them finishing and still not releasing the game if they consider the hype to not be high enough in their eyes.
For a long time now since shortly after 2000, Diablo II, times have changed.
People learned. Go play a game you've been thinkin of at a buddy's house and see if you like it.
But with enough hype, you'll see everyone rushing for the stores at once, selling out by pre-order.
They don't need you to like the game, they need you to buy it.
I think the insane amount of devotion by everyone here to really analyze all of this has came up with a lot of Johnny-On-The-Spot ideas. After so many hundreds of ideas, you start to run out of wrong ones.
I believe them changing things to mislead us to conceal the mystery and sustain as well as increase the hype is very, very reasonable.
If you look at it from a business perspective, it makes all the sense in the world.

Long shot but maybe Imperius, after being thrown from heaven, makes a deal with the prime evils and ressurects diablo because he needs help to exterminate the plague that is humanity.
Hmmm...I like the sound of fighting Imperius I never liked that bastard anyway. tryin to destroy Sanctuary...
Imperius rises into the sky and notices the two mortals. Imperius points at them and says "You two shall be the first of many to die!" Imperius flys tword them only to be nocked back by another angel
"You shall not harm them are any mortal for that matter Imperius." Tyreal said. Makes for a nice into dont ya say

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
No sir, I don't like it. Yet maybe they decided to save the High Heavens for the expansion pack. Or maybe that petition BS made them change and compromise the entire direction of the game, essentially aiming it down skid row where Diablo 3 will suck beyond words. Then I'll get to take out the lead pipe and start busting some heads.
Seriously, dude! If those mutha-fuckers with their petitions changed my game, I'm going to be sooo pissed. So pissed, infact, a week before it goes on sale I will camp outside of my local Gamestop and when it's released (first in line) I will stand there (knowing I have a copy reserved) with a hidden megaphone on my person. I will ask each person if they signed that petition and SCREAM IN THEIR EAR "YOU RUINED THE BEST GAME EVER! KUDOS, MOTHER FUCKER! LORD OF DESTRUCTION HAS NOTHING ON YOU, IS HE?" and then let them in. I'll do this until the cops show up, obviously.
But, yeah. I'm really hoping it's just that the High Heavens will be an expansion pack.
o.o <3 it though, 'cause the word "harbringer" means that now that the Tyrael= falling from the heavens, literally, is the comet.

Anyway the part about the intro that intrigues me most is this.
Defending against the Heavens?
They changed that for a reason...
"to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish."
Either they're changing the storyline a little, which I don't think they'd do at this point, or we were onto something.

So... it pretty much points even more so to an angel.

From Hell I'd presume.

It really seems like we get too close to the plot about Imperius or they just changed the plot or keep Imperius for expansion pack.

I think we're heading for the second option here.
