With the new promotional site up i started to do some research on player banners. Ive been seeing a lot of topics regarding sigils and confusion with the website as well as player banners in general. I thought i would make a little post with some info on the parts and pieces of player banners for anyone who cares.

What are Diablo 3 Banners?

A way of showing off your in-game accomplishments with other players visually. The function in Co-op games allows your friends to teleport straight to your location by click on your banner located in town. However you can also drop your banner during combat in a safe location before other players use it.

Players Love Achievements and Vanity

In fact, it is human nature to care about the looks of things. How many of you have bought something and became really picky about how it looked or what color it was? This is human behavior at work here. Players will care about that their banner looks like so they can show it off to their friends especially since it can be used as a teleporter to your location.
