Anyway if they add all those tiny graphics like this and the ravens in tristam, it's probably because the web designers don't know what to do with their time and they are still getting paid soooooo....
I want to throw out a sweet guess. the reason the wings changed is because everyone is clicking the blue/purple gem. For every 10,000,000 clicks, His character changes appearance...
Maybe it's just me; but it looks like he's losing his wings. Maybe he is becoming mortal? Still looks crazy awesome and at least it's something, even if it's just aesthetic.
Great work!
So here's my thought after seeing this change:
It is quite obvious to all the Tyrael will play a very important role in the storyline of D3. But what if the Tyrael we all know so far (in terms of character and appearance) is not going to be the same with the one Blizzard will introduce in their new game?
A fellow fan posted some weeks ago a thread mentioning the idea that Tyrael will come back to D3 as some kind of possesed demon, losing his role as mentor and guide but becoming an entity of the same demonic character that he has been trying to fight for so many aeons.
So maybe Blizzard will once in a while update Tyraels appearance on the official website showing to us LIVE the slow tranformation that he is undergoing, in order to reach full potential in D3.
The first image Blizzard posted when they unveiled this site showed Tyrael the way we left him at the World Stone. Now, by changing the wings, obviously making them more mean, dark and aggresive (they actually look like those ghostly figures you could encounter in Kurast jungle and Bazaar...cant remember their name now) it looks like we are witnessing a complete remade of Tyrael right infront of our eyes.
By the time the tranformation is ready, D3 will be ready for launch!
I hope you are right it. It would be great if this was the first in a series of transitions, like the Blizzcon splash page with the melting ice. Has any one with more technical expertise than myself looked into the change further as in the melting ice analysis. How about file names and such, have they changed?
i think that the main page is updated to reflect in game graphics and nothing else. to many people are looking to far into it. we all know that they have completely changed the graphics from the first two games and he originally looked like his in game graphics from diablo 2 and now that they can do more with graphics they are simply sprucing him up a bit.
Great work!

I agree completely that this is showing a transformation from good to bad. But something that bothers me, especially since my memory is a bit off right now, did Blizz actually come out and say that the angel on the website is Tyrael? If someone could clarify that would be great.
For some odd reason I do not remember hearing that it was officially said to be Tyrael, it just looks like him. But then again there was another angel in D2, cant remember his name, the guy next to the last waypoint in Act 4. He kinda looks like Tyrael, except dead. So maybe the angel on the website is really Imperius and they are showing his transition to a fallen angel. Also you really cant see the angels chest on the website, and I remember reading a discussion about Imperius having some kind of special cross on his chest, so maybe Blizz does not want to reveal that its Imperius.
If anyone can clarify about Tyrael then I can get this stupid idea out of my head. I am just rambling now.
I HAVE A question what if they are changing the animation on the site becuase tyreal might be turning evil and so they show his progress close to the release of the game the more it shows of diablo:):)
The new site flash looks amazing! Does anyone have a guess as to how they made the new looping animation? I would like to create one of a different shape. I can make the image, but I can't make it loop smoothly. :confused:
Me personally I think Tyrael is the new wanderer. You can only kill Diablo so much, without casting a suspicious or cheesy reason. Thats just my 2 cents.

It's subtle. It's like a wisp of smoke passing through the image.
Keep looking at it, you'll see it.
