Since a lot of things being patched have very small fixes, it seems that they're starting to hone in on what they need to to be satisfied enough to release it. I take this as a good sign.
The no cost primary attacks on the wizard sounds great, but I'm guessing they won't be powerful enough to actually get far exclusively with them.

MAldenB posted a message on Diablo 3 Opening CinematicIt's very odd that the meteor would come in from an angle like that and then dig directly downwards into the ground. I guess it could happen, but I'm not sure that I believe it wasn't intentionally weird.Posted in: News
Here comes the speculation:
If it was Tyrael coming from the sky (which it very well come have been), why would he hit the cathedral?
What if Tyrael planned hitting into the cathedral so that when he made a giant hole in the ground, it would be hidden? I don't know about that, but there's a small chance that is the case.
Going further, what if Tyrael was looking for something?
Okay, okay; I'll up the speculation level: What if Tyrael was looking for the black soulstone and it was hidden below the cathedral? Now that could make some great sense.
If the cathedral was hiding something of importance, or, straight-up, the black soulstone, I don't believe Tyrael would descend from the heavens all slowly and gently, walk into the cathedral, and stroll his way down deeper into it. I would imagine that Tyrael would want to haul *** down to Sanctuary and secure the black soulstone (or whatever is important) that is hidden beneath before anyone else catches on, especially if the item is that important.
And this would also explain the odd trajectory of Tyrael (most likely him). Tyrael probably didn't have time to travel to directly above the cathedral and then downwards into the ground to where he needed to go. I bet that his descension was spontaneous and rushed, so when he shot down to Sanctuary, he shot down at an angle and then directly down into the ground when he hit, thus explaining the odd change in trajectory.
All of this speculation that I've come up with seems to make perfect sense in my head, but once again, it's all purely speculation. I've read all the lore located on the Wiki site (which is fantastic, by the way) and I'm merely filling in the blanks. I wouldn't be too surprised if something along the lines of my speculation is true, but then again I wouldn't be surprised if I was full of **** and way off. Either way, I like my speculation so far.
What do you guys think? Am I reaching too far? -

It may not mean anything at all, but I noticed because I was paying attention to it. The first time watching it, I thought he left it behind to be destroyed. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

This must have been before I quit playing D3. I remember reading patch notes about MF and chests.
Anyway, I am referring to item drops from slaying ponies. The only reason to visit Whimsyshire now is to experience a radical change of scenery and maybe, if you have the right sense of humor, a chuckle or two. It could be so much better.

It'd be great to get some more attention and posts in the thread to get some blue clarification.

It is to me, too.

Do you remember finally being able to kill cows, and being super careful not to pull too many at a time? You would inch your way across the open map, not knowing how many were going to hall ass toward you next.
Do you also remember the awesome feeling of mowing down dozens after dozens of cows while avoiding killing the cow king, then going back when most were dead to claim your loot? Remember doing it a hundred times in a row, then doing some baal and big D runs, only to come back to cows again?
Being perfectly honest, I bought Diablo 3 vanilla knowing that Blizzard would have to somehow incorporate the D2 secret cow level into the new game. I could not wait to get back to mowing down cows for hours, getting rad loot, and all that.
So let me start by saying that I didn't expect that Blizzard would copy and paste the secret cow level from D2 into D3 just to satisfy me. I get that they're too separate games, and that they probably should tweak it to be something newer, like Diablo 3 is to the franchise.
I absolutely hated the pony level, but not because it wasn't exactly the secret cow level; I hated it because it was tiny, yielded very little rewards, and was altogether lackluster of a place. There was no reason to farm the level when you were tired of farming the main game.
Fast forward to now, when Blizzard implements a new cow level into nephalem rifts. I think it's a rad idea to tuck it into rifts, as entering the cow level is an awesome, much desired surprise level.
I'm surprised to see them in a small level, though, with maybe 6-10 cows per pack (assuming the cows only spawn in the level I saw). I would much rather see cows being spawned in much bigger levels, like the large outdoor areas in act 1. Fill the level with cows, and add maybe one or two random cow events to make it fit in with Diablo 3. Double the Hell Bovines' speed, too. And how about adding several legendaries that only drop within the secret cow level, just to excite players a little more at the opportunity to possible loot one of them. Let the stage be a true tribute to hardcore Diablo fans that have kept with the franchise through thick and, most recently, thin.
What do you all think about my ideas?
Are you a little unenthused once you get past the initial stoke of finally seeing cows in D3?
What are some suggestions for making the cow level better?
