Jul 18, 2009Sol_Invictus posted a message on Inventory Bags ExplainedI honestly don't quite understand why the first assumption you immediately jump to has got to be 'royalty fees'. Never has Blizzard ever mentioned that they had any intention of implementing features that required royalty fees in the game, so where is all this coming from?Posted in: News

Stay classy.
She's good looking, no doubt, but there's really no need for that sort of talk. -
Nov 4, 2008Sol_Invictus posted a message on Echoes of War - The Blizzard Music CompilationIt's limited and it's only going to be on sale via their website. The regular version which gets released on Amazon/HMV and other retailers (offline and online) is only coming out on the 22nd. You can wait for that version if you want to, but I'd recommend getting the Legendary Edition if you want a bunch of small posters that you can frame and hang up on the wall. They're pretty good quality art.Posted in: News
My order's supposedly 'complete' so I'm just waiting for it to arrive within 7-10 days. -

Man, everytime Bashiok farts we're gonna have a huge headline on the front page?
I feel starved.
It's news. News and interesting articles go on the front page. -

one good thing is - at least all songs are new..
There are 4 diablo songs. -
Oct 28, 2008Sol_Invictus posted a message on Echoes of War - The Blizzard Music CompilationIt'll go to retail on the 22nd of November, but I believe that's only the Standard edition. I'm sure some comic book stores and places that sell D&D/Warhammer/Warcraft stuff will carry the Legendary version but they'll doubtlessly hike up the price.Posted in: News
Just order it directly from the site. Shipping's cheap. -
Oct 28, 2008Sol_Invictus posted a message on Echoes of War - The Blizzard Music CompilationThe art probably isn't new, but it's printed onto high quality thick art material: perfect for framing up on the wall, and there's nine of them. I'll take these over a cheap poster or a printout any day of the week.Posted in: News
The 'taking on Diablo' thing seems to be an interview with Ko Otani about his Diablo composition and his take on the series and its music. Anyone who's enjoyed both Shadow of the Colossus and Diablo will probably want to check that out.
Anyway, you can just get the cheaper version with just the music in it. -

Hear some samples for yourself! http://www.echoes-of-war.com/?media/sample-tracks -
Oct 28, 2008Sol_Invictus posted a message on Echoes of War - The Blizzard Music CompilationI just ordered the Legendary version. Oh my god I can't wait to listen to the tracks in full. The samples on the site were just about enough to convince me to buy it.Posted in: News
Starcraft's "No Matter The Cost" is fantastic, as is The Eternal Conflict (Tristram theme song redux).
I'll be framing those art cards and hanging them on my wall in artsy fartsy fashion for sure. -

Oct 22, 2008Sol_Invictus posted a message on Joystiq: In-Depth Hands-On at BlizzConEveryone will be dishing out damage. The difference is how you'll be doing it, and how effective and mobile your character will be, depending on situations. If you're going up against a horde of skeleton archers, the ability to teleport behind them and destroy them would be more effective than say... firing a hail of firebolts at them.Posted in: News
Likewise, a Barbarian who uses his leap to get behind their defenses would be more effective than the Barbarian who opted to bash his way through. He'd sustain too much damage doing something like that. -
Oct 22, 2008Sol_Invictus posted a message on Blizzard's Diablo III Pumpkin Carving ContestTrue. But there's enough Burning Legion demons and Scourge characters (like the Lich King) to inspire some pretty Warcraft pumpkins.Posted in: News

Oct 10, 2008Sol_Invictus posted a message on New Class Announced: The WizardI doubt the petition had anything to do with the darker graphics this time around, seriously. These are the ruins of Tristram -- it's meant to be dark. The previous location looked like someplace else. Obviously, there's gonna be some varied locations in the game for us to visit, and not all of them are gonna look dark and gloomy like Tristram.Posted in: News
I'm glad they did it justice. It felt like Diablo to me. -

Would you mind not posting the entire interview in your article? I rely on traffic to keep my website afloat. Could you please just copy a segment of the interview (1-2 questions) and direct the rest of the article to Hellforge?
Thanks

The new Battle.net is an upgrade to all preexisting Blizzard Accounts tied to Starcraft, Diablo 2, and Warcraft 3. Owners of World of Warcraft have an option to merge all of their accounts to the new service.
Be sure to check out the new Battle.net Account FAQ too, as it may answer many of your questions regarding the new system.

That's right. Having an opinion is a beautiful thing when it comes to writing an article and expressing ones views. It'd be a bland Wikipedia article otherwise.

Much of that detail is superfluous and deliberately omitted from the article.
I had an entire laundry list of facts in bullet point that I could have added to the history of the series but I'd be able to compile a very small book had I chosen to write it all in. For instance, I could have even mentioned Throne of Darkness, or how three of the developers including the man who designed the "Diablo" character founded a studio called Hyboreal Entertainment but nothing has come of it so far. Rick Seis and several others went with Castaway Entertainment, and that company floundered as well.
This information or "developer drama" is not pertinent to the development of the Diablo series origins, hence the reason why it was not in there.

Two writers at the gaming blog Hellforge are coming up with a new series of articles revolving around The Great Wait for Diablo III and Final Fantasy XIII with exactly that in mind.
The Final Fantasy articles are penned by a talented writer with numerous passions in her heart, whose first love as a young impressionable girl was none other than Final Fantasy VI, while the Diablo III articles are written by yours truly.
Within the articles, we seek to document our obsessive struggle in anticipation for our two favorite upcoming games, discussing the latest rumors (in true literary snark), our assessments of their validity plus practical ways of coping with the mounting build up.
It is by no means whatsoever a replacement to the pertinent and up-to-date news that you'll find right here at Diablofans.com. But if you've any interest whatsoever in finding out why I believe Diablo III will be a game worth waiting for, feel free to check out the feature.

I'd take the post with a grain of salt, because it sounds more along the lines of something that would be cool to put in, but not necessarily a priority for the developers.
Honestly speaking, how much do you think such an addition to gameplay would add to the overall experience? I'm fairly content with the fact that players will be able to interact with the environment without having monsters have a go at it, too. Put it this way: it might even be annoying to be constantly stunned by enemies who drop rocks on players, and that could get pretty old.
