"Buti must not have come with us, guess she decided to leave the group and set out on her own," she thinks to herself.

"Naw, Warick, it's nothing to do with the blood, the bones are what you can really make use of. Ever made a crib out of a man's ribcage? I've never seen a child sleep more soundly." Ignis said loud enough for the Bramwell soldier to hear, and watched as he left the area entirely, and marched to the front of their convoy.

The soldier slows as he approaches Kira, he shivers as he contemplates their words. She looks over at him and says, "you know, he uses finger bones and eyeballs to make a mobile for the baby to look at and play with as well."

She laughs out loud as the soldier stares at her in horror and continues his way to the front.

Kira sighs as she grows restless and wonders how much longer they will be on the road.

People - if this "kiddie" your bands suck mine are better crap doesn't stop this will be closed.

You have to defeat baal at that level too - then use leg and tome.

(If this has been suggested before, please forgive for repeating, but it's very annoying.)

Well, the BlizzCon starts in roughly two days, and I am glad to see how excited everyone is getting about this pending Blizzard event. This year's is planned to be bigger and better than ever before, but it looks like fans have gotten a bit of a taste of what will come before it has even started in the form of the Gamescon that transpired in Germany (see here for the announcement about this event).

Just looking at some of the reports linked to by fans here, I've seen that there is a good bit of information that was released at the Gamescon, and though this report may not cover all of it, it will hopefully "wet your whistle", as they say around here, for the pleasures BlizzCon '09 is sure to bring.

A report at Kotaku by Michael McWhertor (here) gives a nice run-down of what the writer experienced with a demo play of Diablo III at the Gamescon. It would seem that, while there were no additional characters able to be played besides the already-announced Barbarian, Wizard, and Witch Doctor, demo players were able to pick a character and start off in the new and previously-not-covered desert area, Sundered Pass, which apparently was very reminiscent of the deserts of Lut Gholein in Diablo II. As for how awesomely-desertesque this area was, well, perhaps Michael said it better than I could:

Quote from name="Michael McWhertor" »

Of course, the deserts in Diablo III look far better than those featured in the previous game, with visible winds carrying clouds of sand across the plains, dust storms kicking up around us. The land is similarly populated with tiny desert creatures, snakes and insects that get trampled underfoot.

Did you see that last little sentence? More squish-ables! Hurray!

Furthermore, he went on to elaborate that one of the main quest of this area of Diablo III was issued by Asheara to head to a town called Alcarnus and see what the raving is all about, perhaps related, quite obviously, again, to the Lord of Terror's return to Sanctuary. Whether or not this Asheara is related to or is, in fact, the same as the Asheara of Diablo II's Act III was not revealed (you can read more about the Asheara of Diablo II here in our Wiki).

However, it would seem that they never actually reached this precipice of the desert area's quest, but instead stumbled upon several side quests that, from the limited input we can gather, was quite entertaining, involving a certain Husam and his bounty:

Quote from name="Michael McWhertor" »

...we ran into a few side quests. One sent us after the bounty of a man named Husam. The price on his head was high, so we took his head. It really only took one good whack from the maces we were dual-wielding. After some backtalk from Husam, we bludgeoned him until his head popped off.

And, even more, later in his write-up he mentions a few more of the quests:

Quote from Michael McWhertor »

The demo offered a few side quests on our way to Alcarnus. We ran into a "Crazed Miner," who offered us the quest, "A Miner's Gold." All we had to do was defend the miner while he raised a treasure chest via a pulley system. When he started, swarms of Fallen came after him. If we were successful in defending the miner from the swarm, we'd get half the gold. It really wasn't a challenge for the Barbarian, as Ground Stomp made that defense quest a simple task.

To me it seems that this last one, "A Miner's Gold", will be fallible. Meaning, you can fail it if you do not accomplish the required ends. This could be a good turn in the questing system for the Diablo series, since in Diablo II and Diablo I I believe that the only way you failed a quest was if you died doing it, at which point you would just come back from the dead and start again on it. This new way of handling quests, if my assumptions are correct, would provide a far heavier challenge than the previous installments did.

He then elaborated on the new inventory system some more, a 28-slot backpack called, officially, the Adventurer's Backpack (how creative). Items will react similarly to many new games, specifically MMO's come to mind (I remember this function in Runes of Magic):

Quote from name="Michael McWhertor" »

...the newest version is far more streamlined. When hovering over unequipped items in your inventory, you'll see a pop up window with that item's vital statistics and the item you currently have equipped in that slot.

And there we have it, more evidence of developers mixing in the best of the old with the best of the new- being able to compare items without having to dance your mouse pointer around the screen between various items and instead being able to to it instantaneously by simply hovering your mouse over one item and seeing it compared against your current equipment. That seems like a welcome and useful change to Diablo II's archaic equipment system.

Now, of what he meant by this, I am not quite so sure:

Quote from name="Michael McWhertor" »

That made it a lot easier to see if the leather pants we picked up at one point were better than the "lucky" leather pants we started out with. They were. A right click equipped them, draining our character's luck, but upping her armor.

This could literally mean that we have a new (or renamed) stat or modifier called "luck" or "lucky". I have no idea what it would do, and it could be very well that he was just being sarcastic here or something. If anyone has any better ideas on that, please save my skin and post them.

It appears, if it was that I missed this in previous declarations, that skills will once again be hotkey-able to the number row, as evidenced by this short splurge on the Barbarian's skill usage, and that Battle Cry, as in Diablo II, will be a party-boosting skill as well as a player-boosting one:

Quote from name="Michael Whertor" »

We were also equipped with two Barbarian skills, Ground Stomp and Battle Cry. The former was hot-keyed to the "2" and, when enabled, stunned everything around the Barbarian. Helpful, when Fallen are surrounding you and Fallen Shamen are tossing fireballs your way. The Battle Cry, on the "1" key, increased our armor class temporarily. If we were playing a multiplayer game, that Battle Cry effect would have been passed on to our party members. But we were doing this quest solo.

There was also a short heads-up on a few of the new monsters to come with this new desert area:

Quote from Michael McWhertor »

surrounded by Fallen and Sand Wasps. Those Sand Wasps really suck, by the way, ejecting a quartet of mini-Wasps at our hero. Nasty.

We ran into a few other nasty things in the desert, the most annoying of which was the Desert Dervish, a spinning tornado of a beast with a strong knock-back attack.

From there, he made his closing comments, which should hopefully give some of you more faith in the unfinished game:

Quote from name="Michael McWhertor" »

From graphics to gameplay to interface adjustments, Blizzard seems to have delivered with Diablo III. The game looks fantastic, dripping with atmospheric detail and gorgeous visual effects. But honestly, it's the user interface changes that are most exciting. Blizzard has made the process of looting and equipping much more efficient, letting the player focus on the action.

Whether or not all of that is true, though, remains to be seen until we all have our own hands on the game.

To wrap this up, you can see some of the screen shots taken during the event here: http://www.diablo-3.net/gamescom-gallerie (thanks to popez), and here are two YouTube videos (compliments of Mackan and Tech):

If you happen to stumble across any of those lovely gentlemen (or ladies), please be sure to give them a good positive rep point for some truly awesome finds! I know I will. And, Bashiok is providing a thread on the Battle.net forums (viewed via our Developer Tracker here) with links to reviews about the Gamescon coverage, so keep checking that around the clock today for even more articles on this wonderful event.

You can see the original thread created by m0n0x1d3 here with many good information contributions by other posters.

Probably not. But I'm paid up with all the right people.

Yesterday i posted this with a little, I mean, a LOT, more swear words and it got removed so if it does again i'm done with this bullshit to be frank.

Well, Frank... my request that you tone-down your outrage was entirely reasonable. It's not the game's fault that you can't always get what you want.
Every one of us who play this mod have to deal with the same randomness; we all have things we want to find, but have difficulty finding them, yet you are the only one since this thread's inception to throw such an immature hissy fit:

Quote from "eternals" »

Also i am so FREAKING PISSED OFF today... I found a very high ancient scroll and i've been hunting around for ancient scroll 49 and i got the shitty faggot 48. Fuck this game, out of all my heart fuck it. I also spent HOURS fucking farmin countess on p8 because i found out the only increased rune find in game is by increased player levels and I GOT a fucking WHITE RUNE EVERY TIME. So this game can fuck it over i'm almost done with it really..

If you have a problem with me politely asking you to please keep that level of discourse out of this thread, then, by all means, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Good day, sir.

I'd like to see Andariel or Lillith done by you.

ie full frontal?

btw if male and female humans are honestly trying to kill eachother, the male is not going to be distracted by the female's bum, no matter how stunning it may be

odonthe1st would you do a version with a skirt if blizz won't take it as it is?

Before even another moment had passed, the creature was upon them. Its wicked sword arched through the semi-darkness and slammed into an unanticipating Darrian, his reflexes unable to account for the weight of his heavy weapon of choice.

Even as the demon's sword impaled his chest and sent him hurtling back in to a rotting, ancient pillar, the vile creature grinned insidiously.

Darrian struggled to his feet and fixed his hands upon the handle of his massive weapon, "In the name of Torm I cast this demon back to the Nine Hells!"

As his hammer fell throw the air, a distant enchantment echoed throw the shadows: "Praeses, Alia, Fero!"

Darrian's hammer stopped as if it had crashed into wall and then become stuck in it. His eyes contorted in confusion and surprise, "What new devilry has this creature summoned?"

A man slid out of the shadows to his right, robed in brown, his thumb and middle finger fixed on his temples, his right hand extended toward the motionless hammerhead. His hands then fell, his concentration broken, and he looked hard at Darrian, "The demon has said that your anger feeds him- do not raise your weapon upon him just yet-"

Darrian nudged him away, "Who are you- no, you do not concern me. Go about your business, there is a demon to be slayed and a wizard will not step in my way!"

He slung his hammer once again throw the air and in to the robed demon. He was tossed aside like a rag doll in a hurricane, tattered, blackened robes and bits of shadow collapsing and hurtling to the ground.

"See? There is no beast that can withstand my hammer!" laughed Darrian haughtily.

As he spoke the demon raised itself from the dusty floor, growing taller and larger than before, a thicker darkness and twang of terror upon him this time. His sword seemed somehow more solid and flickered with a wicked black lightning. His eyes grew brighter still, and he laughed.

Lol. Wow, you're being very subtle there aren't you, bard? Yeah, I clearly know nothing about web design - which is why I was hired as the lead designer for this entire network and have designed numerous other sites over the years.

Just because I don't about one specific Firefox addon means I'm extremely limited. Get a clue, will you?

As for looking it up, that's not my job. It also isn't my job to know everything about web design or Firefox addons or Javascript. If it doesn't work with this site, that's nothing to do with me, nor is it my fault - or my duty to solve. It's not my program. Saying that I should be responsible for a program that I did not make or even know about before today is kind of ridiculous.

Besides, this thread is not for questions about Firefox addon compatibility, it's about the updates I've been adding to this site - which I designed, thank you very much. If you want to criticize my skill or knowledge, feel free to get off the site that I designed.

In my entire life, I've only found 6 women attractive. Now, that's not to say I haven't met a lot of cute girls, but in order for a girl to be attractive to me, they have to have a lot more than that.

For instance, a physically attractive girl that thinks shes too good for everyone isn't my type and I wouldn't date a girl like that.

The girl I'm attracted to now isn't what most guys would consider insanely gorgeous but to me, there is no girl more attractive. While this girl is cute (amazingly cute if you ask me), thats not what attracts me to her. She's smart, shes into video games and comics, she has this dark side I can't really get enough of and she's all around just an awesome girl. But if all she had was her cuteness, she would just be another girl to me.

When I'm in a relationship, other girls don't exist to me in the way they do to single guys. I don't go to restaurants and check out other girls, I don't go to the mall to look at girls while I'm shopping with a girlfriend and I never ever consider cheating because when I'm in a relationship with someone, that person I'm with is the most beautiful person in the world and no one, no matter how hot they are can compare.

That's just me though.

Stormcat should have been there on the list, i vote for her but as for this list i vote for Chaos.

ha OTC you can read me like a book, but i wasnt saying fuck this gay shit i was saying what a fucking fag. if you really care about what people think about you on a site theirs a prob. do you have any real friends, is that why you seek approval from some random ass people? STOP BEING A SOFTIE MCFLURRY and i sorta almost dont feel bad about calling you a fag now. are you going to talk to your mom about your feelings when your done reading this?

you make the mistake of judging me, without knowing a shred about me. i dont need your approval, or anyone elses. i was just curious about whether i was being too harsh on fags such as yourself. and these arent random ass people, many i know from diablo and true, their friends over the internet. but friendship is true whether its in person or on the internet. they tell me about their struggles, and i tell them about mine. i met my best friend over the internet, you know him as Thasador. not because its easy to do it over the internet, but because we have so much in common that we ended up being best friends because we understood the other so much.

i have tons of real friends, do you? would your friends stab you in the back? mine dont and would never. as for being a softie mcflurry, i never even hinted on being soft. im not soft, im quite the opposite. a softie would never go around telling people how it is and standing for what he/she believes. call me a fag, idc. i know that im not one, and i have substancial proof to back that up. are you a fag? your very quick to call others that. i might mention it every once in a while, but most of your counterattacks have the word fag in them.

im hispanic, i grew up under two mexican parents. my culture runs very deep in our family, and i take much offense that you would bring my mother into this. i dont talk about your family, you dont talk about mine. if you do, its going to get very nasty. bring my mother into this and your asking to be kicked out of this place.

i dont know what your problem is. all i ask is an apology and you cant even do that? you would rather fight than admit you were wrong? and you are wrong, there are plenty of us that agree with me on this. swallow your pride and admit you were wrong, and are sorry. thats all you gotta do. and then never go to that thread again.
