Amazing..I dislike each contest you've come up with, which is a feat unto itself. The first requires us to post on forums that rarely have anything valuable to comment on these days. The second requires us to have an account with external sites, both of which are social networking sites -- why not just post the questions here? The third doesn't give any criteria -- is this for Inferno survival, Hardcore, or just screwing around?
Oh look, I've already entered the first contest. Nevermind.

Remember, the Primes wanted the banishment...the Lessers just didn't know at the time.Quote from Aerisot
I'm hoping we get Azmodan taking over Tyreal making the new form of Azreal.
Its too cliche if all 5 of the lesser evils rejoin Diablo's side after banishing him.

When you unknowing do exactly what your master wants, it makes sense to come crawling back into the fold telling him how awesome he is for tricking you and pulling off such a masterful plan. -

Sorry, didn't think I left anyone hanging.Quote from Moxx
It's Fetlock, as seen here:
http://diablo3dungeo...ait_Fetlock.png
And Fetlock, as you know, is the codename for Azmodan.
and what does that mean man? don't let it hang there @_@;
Since DiabloFans doesn't take their spoiler stuff seriously (as demonstrated by their last cast), here's the breakdown:
So the guy in the still (and therefore the video it's from) is Azmodan:
http://diablo.wikia.com/wiki/Azmodan
He's one of the 2 Lesser Evils that took charge of the Burning Hells after the Prime Evils (Diablo, etc) were banished to Sanctuary. Since the video takes place on Sanctuary, it shows that Azmodan (and probably Belial too) have come to Sanctuary.
Assuming the Prime Evils are still here somewhere, that would bring the list of epic super-powerful demons that are on Sanctuary to: Diablo, Mephisto, Baal, Azmodan, and Belial
...at least.
This lines up with the data-mined speculation that Belial is a boss in Act 2 (codenamed Saddle) and that Azmodan is a boss in Act 3 (codenamed Fetlock).
Ask..and more can be covered. -

I know you're really into lore, and as such, really don't understand the impact of a 'spoiler', so let me help you with an analogy:Quote from PhrozenDragon
Well that's not why I opposed it. It's not a spoiler, it's speculation, and I opposed it because I'm not sure it would give the correct picture of the content of the cast. Though I couldn't come with anything better at the time.Quote from swooshxx
You were the correct one PhrozenDragon, it was distasteful and immature for Sixen (or whoever) to post a spoiler into the TITLE of a NEWS article. Even if it is speculation, I can not think of a reputable site that would do something this retarded.
There were some spoilers in there though that probably do tell what will happen in parts of the game, but those weren't in the title.
Your best friend is looking in your Mom's purse for cigarettes one day, and comes across a random car key. It's not on your Mom's key chain, but instead, is the only key on a ring with a car dealership advertisement on it. He looks and realizes that the make of the car it belongs to does not match anything that you family drives.
Being your best friend, he realizes also that your 16th birthday is next week.
There's several different things that could explain this, but the "you're getting a new car for your birthday" explanation seems most plausible.
^ pure "speculation"
Would he "spoil" your new car gift by telling you about his speculation? Any reasonable person would say YES.
You followed the above almost to the letter. You were looking around where you weren't meant to be, found some information and/or concept art that lead to a plausible conclusion, and you posted "Diablo's a Girl" as fact -- there's no "maybe" in there, no "possibly", no "could be" -- IS A GIRL.
You think the Cast fixes this? You hid the fact that this was speculation **behind a spoiler alert**. So assuming someone doesn't want to have spoilers...follow me here:
- You post a definitive statement as the unavoidable TITLE in a NEWS post.
- You hide the explanation that it is only speculation behind a spoiler tag in a video.
^ how the hell do you expect people who avoid spoilers to do anything but accept that Diablo has now been announced to be a girl? Do you see the problem here?
Not only was it spoiled for them, but they also believe it more than the speculators do (they don't know it's speculation).
I agree, that's ironic and quite funny. Still doesn't give you the excuse to use content behind spoilers tags as the titles for your news posts. I'll let me first post stand -- you are all infantile and should have you "official fan site" status stripped for incompetence. -

I fought long and hard, and although it was a bloody battle I eventually lost out in what title to pick.Quote from OmniNom
Is no one else curious about the title? D:
You are right however, the title is a reference to the popular lore theory that Leah will somehow be possessed by Diablo. We talk about it during the cast.
This site has rarely been 'on the ball' with news, and I accepted that because you filtered out the garbage (that takes time) -- but if this is your new attitude towards being a Fan Site, then you have lost any respect or trust I had. Good luck being just another rumor site... -
Sep 28, 2011swooshxx posted a message on The Voodoo That I DoOh...thought you stopped doing these since it'd been a full week since the Demon Hunter one. Should we expect only one each week?Posted in: News
(note also that the demon hunter one is out-of-date since the resource system was mostly redone, and links a Barbarian playthrough at the end :/ )
Thanks for all the content on the youtube channel though -- the play-throughs were very awesome and appreciated. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Funny how that many are not interested in the game anymore, yet visit a news site.

The sort of thing that gets put in on purpose for the jollies of the engineers (at least by competent engineers) are multi-key sequences, usually with some other key held down. They also sometimes require you to be in a particular location.

All "press" automatically get this, even without opting in.
The fansites that got keys to give out got to choose who gets this (including those who secretly tossed a couple to their personal friends).
Add in that many people who got in didn't even play, and this becomes the least-thought-out crap I've seen from Blizzard in years.

My point is that there will be fan sites that provide the info people have requested so far. Expecting Blizzard to put that stuff into the current "Game Guide", which is historically meant for people who are new to the franchise, is very optimistic. Sure, they may have made a New Years resolution to directly support their hardcore audience, but I'll be convinced only when I see it.
Good luck on your questions guys...maybe they can be used in a theorycraft fansite when/if Blizzard ignores us.

- RMAH is regional, as it is governed by your local country. Even if you play somewhere else, you'll be using the RMAH that is for your local country.
- There are servers where you create your character, but you can create it on any server in the world. It is, of course, ideal that you use the local one for latency reasons. The NA server (North America), and is default for US, Canada, Australia, etc (the standard group), but you don't have to use it. Note that the Gold AH is server-specific, so you're picking that when you pick a server also.

It is a Korean concept that some US publishers began to support around the turn of the century. They can go to essentially an Internet Cafe, but for gaming, and rent gaming machines (with internet access and the latest games) that you wouldn't be able to afford/access otherwise to play the newer games available. The strings were added simply so that those cafes can do their job easier -- it's a lot better when the game itself understands that it's being rented.
Edit: clarity.
