Come on, who doesnt like a good Nancy Drew video game?!
Great to see Diablo at the top of the list!

Im sure they are watching, its just a matter of how much, expecially this forum more than others, because of the link from diablo3.com

My question... why are so many people offended by suggestions?

Its not that im offended by the suggestions, But it seems like the only thing people have talked about since the announcement, are complaints about the game. No one has given Blizzard a chance to show more character classes, monsters, places, etc. We have only seen a small fraction of the game, and only Blizzard knows how the rest of the game will turn out, compared to the first two Diablos.

I wont name any names, I wont point any fingers. But it seems like quite a few people on the forums have problems with the way Blizzard is making Diablo 3. Off the top of my head:

• Cartoon Graphics
• Health Globes vs Potions
• Inventory Style (Tetris vs 1Item Slots)

Just to name a few.

To me, it seems like you dont want Diablo 3, you just want another Diablo 2. I promise you, Blizzard will not let us down. Diablo 3 is going to be amazing, no matter how they implement the things mentioned above.

They are not done with the graphics, and im sure they will be more detailed when its released.

I dont think the health globes are meant to replace potions, you will still need to rely on them. But you will also have the luxary of gathering health globes when you're running low on health.

As for the inventory style, Blizzard has said you will be fighting mobs of monsters unlike anything you've seen in a Diablo game to date, and you will be gathering more items than in previous games. The new inventory system will allow you to carry the items you find, but im sure it wont be unlimited. You will still have to return to town during a dungeon to empty your inventory.


All Im saying is, lets give Blizzard a chance, and when the game is released, (or very close to it) if it still isn't what we want, then lets inform Blizzard. There is no need to make "formal letters" to Blizzard so early in developement. They need a chance to fine tune everything on their own, they are a big company, and very smart. I can guarentee they will not half-ass this game.

What realm? SC/HC? Ladder/Non-Ladder?

I just started again, but I kept my characters from a long time ago.. So I have an 86 Frozen Orb Sorc, USEast/SC/NL, I can rush you with. And a 15 Frozen Orb Sorc USEast/SC/L, if you wanna play.

I think those pictures in the origional post, are changed too much. I would love to see some color in a Diablo game, the first 2 didnt have enough. Maybe they could darken it a little in some places, but definately not as much as the first post pics show.

I think if they can keep the lighting how it is, (expecially the orange lights above the doorway), and darken the shadows a little. Maybe accent some of the details in the textures it would be perfect.

But remember, this isnt even in beta yet, they are only showing us a small portion of the game, we have no idea what the rest looks like.

About the "TYRAEL IS LOST" theory.

First, the word CAVERN from day 2 was replaced with GLACIER (which is incorrect), meaning the theory was thrown off. Its not wrong though, not yet.

It just means we have this instead:
Tundra - 04: T, R
Icy - 23: Y, I
Cold - 16: O, L
Cavern - 15: A N

Forming this: TYRA_L I_ _O_T

Leaving:
E, S, L, S


So our remaining words (from the 08 and 42 from the LOST theory) are the mystery.

Thats exactly what I said about 3 hours ago, good find.

I Wonder how it got changed??

This has already been stated, but Ive seen alot of posts that contradict it.

The master.css file specifically says:

.clickthru .link {background:url('_images/ctbg.jpg') no-repeat 50% 0;text-align:center;height:29px;}
.clickthru a {line-height:29px;padding:0 15px 0 0;background:url('_images/link.gif') no-repeat 100% 50%}
/*.[B][COLOR=orange]cavern[/COLOR][/B] {background:url(_images/15.jpg) no-repeat 0 0} */
.icefield {cursor: pointer; background:url('_images/ice4.jpg') no-repeat 50% 0;height:874px;text-align:center;}
.icefield a {display:block;height:55px;width:110px;position:relative;top:640px;margin:0 auto;}
.footer {text-align:center;}
/*.[B][COLOR=orange]icy[/COLOR][/B] {background:url(_images/23.jpg) no-repeat 0 0} */
.footer a,.footer a:active,.footer a:visited{color:#083f53;font-weight:normal}
.footer a:hover {color:white}

The four hidden words, and respective Numbers are:
Tundra = 04
Cold = 16
Cavern = 15
Icy = 23

Yet some people keep bring up the fact that "Glacier" is part of it, when it is clearly not.

With this, assuming it is meant to be decoded as letters, we get:
04 = D
16 = P
15 = O
23 = W

Tundra = T R
Cold = O L
Cavern = A N
Icy = Y I

With the letters from "Cavern" we now have a "N", which is not included in the phrase "TYRAEL IS LOST", maybe we should reconsider what these letters are trying to spell out?

Edit: does that smiley face make me look fat?

No, of course not. But me on the other hand...

I agree 100% with Robiwan, that the fans and users on the forums, created the hype, and it would be the exact opposite story if nothing had been done.

Hopefully its really good news that Blizzard has waited all this time to want diablo3.com, they knew there was a community here, and that many fan sites linked to here, so taking the domain early would eventually lead people to believe the game would never come. But waiting till a short time before WWI, they can generate a small amount of hype now, leading up to a possible announcement at WWI. Which is what we all want.:D

Quote from "Shival" »

Somehow I am doubting this is all...

Thats kinda how I feel, why so much hype for this? (Not saying it isnt important, I think its great, but..)

On a different, more positive note, I love the new look of the site, and I still have hopes for Diablo 3 at WWI.

Now back to my normal routine...

MD Already said it wont be an official Diablo 3 announcement, Im very anxious to see what it will be. Im honestly clueless :confused:
