Alright I really don't want to be "that guy" on this thread who brings up the blizzard employment opportunities page again... but has anyone else noticed how on the image of all the characters from various diablo franchises, Diablo is not only in the center but he is the only character with out some sort of hazy filter to his image? The red on the orcs shoulder armor is about the same color but yet it doesnt seem nearly as bright and vibrant... Idunno just throwing that one out there :offtopic::spam:
Let's not start another one of those pictures-as-a-hint things. It probably means nothing- Diablo has always been in the center of that particular image, even when it didn't have the distortion. Go to blizzplanet.com. They have an animated banner with the same image. It's also been used as an advertisement banner in the Battle.net chat room, for a while.
I personally just don't get it. Blizzard must be twisted and sick, to want us to suffer all this time haha. I don't see why they don't just be straight up about their games. Yes, we are making it. No, we are not. Sure, they say that but we can't believe them, seeing what they did with Starcraft II. I just don't understand why they lie, how come they don't tell us when they first begin making it? Espicially when they know there are sites such as this dedicated to it. What is the point of the "Top Secret" projects?
Blizzard - Your breaking my balls.
Well, given Blizzard's desire for perfection and history of canceling games I don't think it would be best for them to announce a game as soon as it begins development. I think the fans would be a little upset to see a game be announced then get canceled because Blizzard isn't happy with it.
Anyways, is it just me or has this Rumor Mill just stopped churnin'?

No, we're going to do it.
Lol no I agree that is really reaching out. Still though like I said, why would Blizzard keep Diablo above the layer that has the pattern of lines. Everything else has it.
Yeah I know that banner has been around for awhile, I'd have to be a complete moron not to see that, I was just pointing out how Diablo seemed to be a key element in the picture more than the others, even if just in the slightest way... especially in a picture thats primary purpose was for use in the job opportunities section

As you may notice, Diablo is brighter and has the absence of the horizontal scan lines. Either this is a direct hint or just a last-minute addition to the header. If it is a hint I think it is just confirming that Diablo is in development. No heads up to when it will be announced. Then again I don't know how old this graphic is.
grasping for the straws my friend.. Look D3 hasa 50/50 chance being accouned this year.
Type in google, "D3 being announced 2008" and you get over 100 hits... This thing has spread like a epidemic..
I honestly think blizzard would make 10x the ammount of money they made on WoW if they release a RPG/MMO (or two games one of each) in diablo universe,.

Don't get me wrong- I'm not saying that it is or isn't a hint, I'm just saying in the past it's never meant anything. Not that you were saying that, but I figured I'd clear that up just in case anyone else thought that.
I don't think that Diablo is above the layer that has the line patterns, though. It is most likely a radial effect on that same layer designed to ensure the images equilibrium. I use the effect, sometimes.
Speaking of teasing, wouldn't it be cool if blizzard tomorrow reset the ladder, released an awesome patch and announced that there was going to be a game announcement at the wwi, all in a row?
I'm pretty sure that won't happen though.
I would love it if, after you kill Baal on the new ladder, a new, awesome cinematic happened following the destruction of the Worldstone. Imagion that, it picks up the story after what happened there. That would be a 100% Diablo 3 is coming lol.

Yeah, that could very well be true. Just with Diablo being brighter + no visible line pattern.. seems as if the layer is on top or brightened compared to the other renders. But yeah, you are probably right and nothing is significant about the image, I'm just kinda worried Diablo will not be announced and trying to find ways to convince myself theres alot of hope haha.
Yeah, I think a new cinematic would be a really good way to announce that Diablo 3 was on its way. Something that hasn't been done before for some reason.
Interesting.. you are right, it is odd they would put the layer containing diablo on top of the line pattern.. weird.

Yup. not a very good sign

Rumors tumors, we need some real info in here, where's the big blue when you need him.
As the people of the internet say:
um wut?
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
Here is a blown up copy:

If this is how things are right now, imagine what kind of rumors we're going to find on these forums in two years if D3 isn't announced.
