    The 5 Archangels are born out of the crystal arch and each embody the 5 virtues/aspects of Anu.

    Each Aspect is tied to them like a soul... and it cannot just be traded..or declared that your are one of the others.. Tyrael can call himself the 'Archangel of Wisdom' but not the 'Aspect of Wisdom' as he is the 'Aspect of Justice'.

    Maltheal may declare himself the 'Archangel of Death' but he is still the 'Aspect of Wisdom'.

    I don't feel I 'botched' the wording at all..

    So if Tyreal is still the Aspect of Justice, then i guess Maltheal is still the Aspect of Wisdom.

    Good, coz it seemed to break the lore a little when in the cinematic is seemed that Tyrael would just 'decide' he is now the aspect of Wisdom..

    If he is just deciding to be the 'archangel of Wisdom' thats fine.. because he isn't smart enough to be the 'Aspect of Wisdom' :P

    Even though the video is about D3, I feel like this thread in particular is about whether or not deleting links to the video is a correct stance.

    Hence it's more about the forum rules and moderation than about D3 itself, so let's not take it too far (I will leave it open in case someone else wants to share their own insight really quick).

    Quote from DoomSlayers

    The datamined info was "intentionally" leaked. This video was accidentally made public. Blizzard is working hard to delete them so I imagine DF don't want to get on their bad side.
    So basically it's a mix of a little bit of this...

    Quote from Evolution85

    It's the mods decision what does or doesn't belong in the forums, bottom line. In this case, I believe they are right in their decision.

    The difference is that Blizzard knows that they cannot contain the info in the RoS client. So they are a little more relaxed on what gets out and what doesn't. That video was specifically made for release at Blizzcon, And was only made public due to an error. It not only hurts the company, but cheats the people who are either attending or watching via Virtual ticket out of being the first to see it.
    ... and a little bit of that.

    Quote from CheehC

    Its all over your google/youtube just look for like 'blizzcon RoS leaked'... in last hour.. it is everywhere... so why moderate it here on dfans.. where we come to get this type of sneak peek early.
    Bots and hacks can be found online, but that doesn't mean we can allow them to have their place here. I realize it's not the best parallel or comparison, but I'm pretty sure you get the logic behind it.

    Bottom line, we realized this particular issue was cause by a very unintended action and could have some dire consequences, and chose to take a "let's not help spread the fire" stance.

    There really isn't much of a right or wrong side here, it's a matter of choice really. I hope at least you can understand that.

    Ok cool, thanks for the reasoning Zero.
    I think I just didn't see the difference between datamined info and a leaked video... I still sort of don't (based on some of the content in that datamined info) and it looks like you are choosing to put some fires out but not others .. it is sort of a blurred line.

    But i respect your decision so feel free to lock this thread if you wish and will wait to discuss during/after blizzcon.

    The video was a tad disappointing because I don't feel like I learned anything new =x Got to visually see some of the new things coming though so that was neat.

    Exactly.. it wasn't like we saw anything we had never seen from the datamined info we have had for AGES

    Its not like they leaked a new class for instance

    Think of it like this. What if somehow, your SSN was accidentally posted on the forums? Would you want them to leave it up, or delete it immediately?

    I had to google 'SSN' real quick just then :P

    Yeah ok I get it..I just love my dfans info.

    But at the same time that video has spread like wildfire...maybe the mods can stamp it out here but the fire is already out control...
    All the things that are in the video we had known about however from the datamined files though.. while they may not have been 'confirmed' or be 'final' is a minor point in some ways...

    We saw all those monsters for instance a month ago before the recent Blizzard front page showing them off
    We knew about adventure mode
    We knew about Nephalem trials/rifts
    We know some of the bosses for RoS

    So all the leaked video really did was confirm that those features have passed testing to the point that they will most likely ship with the game?

    My 2cents.

    It seems unlikely that Blizzard would 'intentionally leak' Maltheal Audio Files in the datamined files...

    I sort of understand that stance but at the same time I would expect a dfans mod to say the reasoning since it is not a forum guideline to not post leaked info?

    Hi,

    Can a Dfans Moderator or someone point me in the direction to the Forum guidelines that means people cannot post Leaked Videos?

    People can put up all the datamined info they want including Maltheal Audio Files which are FINAL... but not a Blizzcon round up of the already datamined features?! .. come on...really?

    With the removal of the AH the problems it once solved will be reintroduced -( 3rd Party Selling Sites, Trade Window Tricks, Bots jumping in and out of games saying 'COME TO THIS SITE" etc). Do you have any ways of stopping these issues that the AH solved?

    If not, at the very least can the absolute top teir (top ilvl -73?) legendary items be BOA. That way you can only FIND the absolute best legendaries and they cannot be bought/traded. Every other legendary that is not the top ilvl can be traded however!
    Is this a possibility so that Diablo can become Play to Win and no longer Pay to Win?

    Lore:
    How can Tyreal just decide that he is the aspect of Wisdom?
    Don't the 5 Aspects get born out of the Crystal Arch?
    Maltheal should still be Wisdom and Tyreal should still be Justice...?

    Boss Design:
    I like it when there are only certain times in a fight where a boss is vulnerable to take damage and other times where they are invulnerable.. as it forces us the rest of the time to use defensive mechanics/ tactics and be ready for when the opportunity presents itself.
    This has sort of been present with the 'shielding' affiix on rare monsters and Magda (maybe the spider queen)- but not much else.
    Is this something that might become more prolific in future boss fights?

    -My Lore Question:
    Will Deckard Cain return?

    That would be a spoiler. Doubt they'd answer it.

    My question;

    In what ways do they view Diablo 1 & 2 as having influence upon RoS, both from a lore and general design standpoint? What considerations were made to fuse the series by congealing the old with the new?

    ...didn't you storm out recently... didn't think i would see you again till after blizzcon :P welcome back
