Lets go over what blizz has told us.
She is the daughter of Aiden (dark wander) and Adria.
Aiden is the son of King Leoric. The King's younger son Albrecht died, well killed by Aiden actually.
This makes Aiden the new King, eventhough he died as well.
When Leah was born, she was Princess Leah.
Also of note, the Skeleton King is her Granddaddy

Khrull777 posted a message on SoulBound or no Soulbound?Should rares & legendary items be Soulbound in Diablo 3, meaning once that item is equipped, then it can no longer be traded, sold at auction, or used by another character.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
The advantage of Soulbound items is it would reduce the supply of legendary items. RIght now they never perish and the volume of them will keep increasing as MILLIONS of people are playing the Diablo slot machine. Diablo has gold sinks, which remove gold from the game, because they prevent mass inflation (the devaluation of currency), why not have item sinks to prevent mass devaluation of legendary items? -

ScyberDragon posted a message on Beta Overachiever: 5 Tips for launch day & 5 Opinions1. Elective mode is not needed for at least the first 20 lvls. The game is setup with particular skill types. Ie you don't need plague of toads and poison dart since you can only spam one.Posted in: Diablo III General Discussion
2. The BS only makes the best gear in the beta because you can progress him farther than you can your own character. On e past 13, you will find better gear than he can craft.
3. I will agree the dmg gear is the best but you know everyone will stack MF particularly in normal since massive dmg is not really needed. Better to go for the items while you can sacrifice the DPS
4. Groups will be better. It more for killing speed than drops. Especially if playing in a PUG, most players won't be sharing loot. So the drops remain the same as SP. just more if you can kill quicker.
5. Not sure if you're telling people not pick up the skill. I don't see why not, it's an awesome skill to add to your spam and power move. Add with dogs and that leaves you open to cast your two most powerful skills -

This is scraping the bottom of the barrel for things to complain about. If you have a problem with the names being the same between both games: shut down your computer, unbunch your panties, and go rethink your life.

This thread title has trolled me, and for that I apologize.
Lineage 3 looks gangsterfresh.

Sounds like this playstyle is pretty common.
Haters gonna hate, they'll either get to higher difficulties and stop talking, or buy another game--either is fine with me

Well, it's like meeting Megan Fox, convincing her to come back to your hotel room, and then JUST as you're about to tap--BLAM! Your room is invaded by killbots.

So of course I dashed over, gave the guy a harsh bropound, and watched him play D3 for a while. It was beautiful, and I found myself drooling slightly while watching. Then he was all like "Bro, you wanna play?" And my face exploded.
And then this story takes a sad turn, because the wireless connection sucks in this area, and I kept DCing. I only managed to get about halfway to Old Tristram on my newly christened Demon Hunter "Herpydoo," before it logged out of battle.net entirely and I needed him to log me back in. Then, after continuing to struggle with lagginess, finally I had a class to go to and I could not continue on my noble quest.
This is not a tale of "omfg internet connection required sucks," I am actually a supporter of this feature. The shitty wireless was at fault here, and we were limited in our alternative options. This is a tale of sorrow, from someone who came so close to victory but failed

Seems like the logical progression to me. However, it's totally possible this could be mixed up with some crazy angels trying to mess with our shit. Maybe as the act one boss, since I can't see where else they'd fit on.
On the other hand, crazy angels could be the subject of the expansion...

There are FAR MORE than a few hundred people in the beta. Everywhere I look people give these miniscule estimates of the beta population. THEY ARE WRONG. The actual number is in the tens of thousands.
Peak numbers of public games have been ranging from around 50-75. I don't know how they at this exact moment, but that's pretty recent. The VAST majority of games are private. Generously, 10% are public. That means an average of 500-750 games going on most of the time.
Now, most non-diehard fans (which make up the majority of the beta) are not playing day and night. Even die hard ones aren't. The most hardcore ones have played through the content quickly, multiple times, and likely cut back to a few hours a day max.
So the wildest, highest estimate for the percentage of players online at any given time is about 10%.
So we're looking at a current number between 5000-7500.
THEN, we take into account that players are being phased in as old ones drop stop playing as much, to keep server population relatively stable.
Since this has happened twice (I think, it's hard to tell when waves happen), we can only assume that a significant portion of the previous players stopped playing frequently, or at all. So it's possible, even probable, that we have had a half of a server group of players cycle out over the course of the beta so far (about a month). Probably more.
So I would estimate (and this is still lowballing it) that somewhere between 7500-11000 people have been invited to the beta so far. This figure could easily go as high as 20,000.
I'm sure quite a few people will doubt this, because intuitively it seems like 10,000+ beta invitees would mean a bigger percentage of the community would be in the beta. We should have people all over the forums with beta keys, right?
Well, no.
Using the highest estimate, just to give these stats a chance, if there have been 20,000 invites so far, there are still millions of opt-ins and FF. Lowballing the hell out of it, call it 2 million. That means you have a 1/100 chance of getting an invite out of these waves. Probably less, since FF members make up a reasonable chunk of that total, and they are drawn from another pool.
Since only a small percentage of the Blizzard community posts regularly on forums related to the games, we hear from only a select few testers. So it's very easy to look at the few dozen beta posters and say "THERE MUST BE ONLY A FEW HUNDRED PEOPLE LOL."
This helps put the sweepstakes into perspective as well. 2000 keys sounds like a lot less after you know the actual number of opt-in testers.

Blizz has small development teams, which are better for quality but bad for time. This, coupled with their high standards means their dev cycle is long as all hell.
Size doesn't factor in as much as you might think, since generally bigger games have farther spread content. Depends on the game.

I mean, if you can only swap out runes if you pop them out with the jeweler, runes are a great way to lock into a build and charge resources for a swap.
Maybe I missed a blue post on this...

I like the idea of a single symbol that can sort of identify the site. This is a pretty rough sketch, but working with some kind of symbol like that we can have infinity logos and titles and stuff because it could be easily adapted to many roles.
So yeah, the actual GD elements of this are bad and will change drastically, but that main icon is what I'm talkin' bouts!
