Locuts, toads and bats, all part of the jungle man aesthetic
Poor bats... being summoned just to be burned alive and so their burning corpse can land on top of an enemy

Sep 18, 2008Genesis posted a message on Diablo 3 Bestiary: Dune ThresherPosted in: NewsQuote from "Ivaron" »6. Crater Assault Troops? Does that mean they're assaulting the Crater (doesn't make much sence), or that they're the assault troops seen near the crater?
My first thought was that they're coming from Hell via a portal in the Arreat Crater and they're assault troops (assaulting Sanctuary and whatnot)
Hence, Crater Assault Troops
In the Cinematic trailer you see a giant half mountain/half crater that two soldiers are looking at from a distance on a castle wall. Then just after you see an army of Crater Assault Troops -
Jun 28, 2008Genesis posted a message on WWI Teaser Day 6Although I know theres going to be an announcment at wii08, and strongly believe it could be Diablo3... I think that little "horn" shaped object in the corner could just be the frozen throne... you know, the big tall icey tower from the end cinematic of WC3: TFT where Arthas ascends its steps and the exterior crumbles away to reveal a tower throne...Posted in: News

Nov 5, 2007Genesis posted a message on Diablo 3 Fake TrailersWhat programs do people use to create fake trailers?Posted in: News
They get all the footage from other places but how do they assemble it?
I dont need a big detailed description but it would be nice if someone could just point me in the general direction.
Edit- this may be necromancy, but i thought it would be better to ask here than make a whole new thread - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

The Reapers
History
At the beginning of time and when all existence came into being the abyss swirled chaotically; empty, devoid of life, or so it seemed, in a permanent vacuum, serving no purpose until Sanctuary came to life and bore man upon its surface.
Mans soul was easily tainted by evil and for every man that took upon these corrupted thoughts and committed immoral acts the abyss pained, for these dark men’s souls never reached the abyss but were reincarnated upon Sanctuary and born again.
The abyss lusted for their punishment, their torture and their terror and thus created life deep within itself to reach out and bring back the corrupted souls and imprison them within the darkness.
These creations called Reapers formed deep within the chaotic abysmal plains by the abyss to serve the abyss in its purpose, a random creation so it would seem when studying the abyss from the mortal realm. Some Horadrim mages who studied the Reapers felt that it was to create equilibrium of chaos and order within the abyss itself and others felt that the abyss was living with a conscious mind.
When the Reapers came into being their souls swirled around in the abysmal plains waiting for guidance from their mother, the Reaper’s swore under an oath called the Oath of Servitude to do their mothers bidding and be her eyes, her ears and her arms upon Sanctuary.
We, the chosen ones swear only to serve the abyss in servitude for eternity.
No Demon, Man nor Angel shall interfere with our task ordained to us by our mother.
No Demon, Man nor Angel shall escape their punishment if they are found deserving.
No Demon, Man nor Angel shall sway our minds or corrupt us to do their bidding.
And so the Reaper came to the mortal realm of Sanctuary, unable to take physical form it is theorized that the Reapers possessed their first victims to take physical form, stealing their bodies and sending their souls to the abyss. Taking human form the Reapers blended in with the masses serving their mother the abyss with no human the wiser for centuries until the Horadrim were formed. Legend goes that the Arch-Angel Tyreal located a Reaper and asked for help from deep within the abyss, the abyss rejected Tyreal’s plea at first for it meant that Angels were interfering with the abyss’s greater goal, but eventually the abyss agreed.
The deal made was that if the abyss conjured a device that could bring the three Prime Evils back to the abyss then the Arch-Angel Tyreal would use this in the mortal realm to capture them. Thus the Soul stones were created and passed on to the Horadrim, only a few Horadrim elders knowledgeable of where the soul stones came from and of the deal that had transpired. Within the soul stone a small piece of the abyss exists, a vacuum that draws in evil and imprisons it within the stone, if it is broken then the souls within the soul stone are sucked into the Greater Abyss.
History - Post Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction
Now that the three Prime Evils souls exist within the abyss’s eternal prison the Reapers have a duty to keep them imprisoned inside the abyss, for it brings the abyss even greater pleasure to embrace chaos upon her bosom than it does to terrify the souls of man.
Class Description
The Reaper uses his powers over the abyss to conjure chaos on the mortal realms at his command, he is adept at reaping mans souls and forcing them temporarily do his bidding before sending them into the eternal abyss.

heres something i came up with in about 30 minutes.
Class - Reaper
GENERALLY Reapers were spawned from the abyss during the creation of sanctuary to take human souls to heaven or back to the abyss (if theyve been naughty). The Reapers came to sanctuary at the begining and laid low doing their jobs, secretive, not associating themselves with anyone else or grouping in any areas (BASICALLY evenly spead out over sanctuary and no one knows they exist really) Reapers have learned to control (although not very well) the Chaos magic that surges throughout the vacuum of the abyss and also other magic stuff that comes with being a reaper and reaping souls etc etc (someone could rewrite this and expand with fancy diablo type language if they want to)
Some skills.. some would belong to a "Chaos Magic" skill tab.. some would belong to others .. maybe an Abyss tab or a Reaping tab.. iono
Max Level* Chaos Blast – The Reaper summons a blast of chaos directly from the abyss and fires it at his enemies. 80% Chance to do X amount of damage, 10% Chance of Backfiring, 5% of Failing, 5% Chance to suck enemy into the abyss resulting in an instant death.
Max Level* Chaos Nova – The Reaper summons a shockwave of chaos directly from the abyss that expands from under his feet outwards, this shockwave of chaos energy damages enemies. 80% Chance to do X amount of damage, 5% Chance of backfiring, 10% Chance to knock back enemies.
Max Level* Chaotic Blade – Imbues the Reaper with chaotic powers from deep within the abyss which even he does not know how to control. With every successful hit 80% chance to deal X amount of damage, 20% chance of backfiring.
Max Level* Oath of Malice – AURA - Chaos energies from the abyss seep out from under the Reapers feet at his command, damaging and shocking enemies. 90% chance to deals X amount of damage to surrounding monsters, 10% chance that a piece of the monsters soul will be sucked into the abyss thus slowing the running/walking/attack speed of the monster.
Max Level* Solitude – The Reaper tears a small hole in the fabric of reality creating a tiny hole that leads directly into the abysmal plains trapping an enemy for 3 seconds, can cast every 10 seconds.
Max Level* Death Sentence – CURSE - The Reaper curses the enemy, he swears to take the enemy back to the abyss with him. When the enemy is cursed under death sentence and dies the Reaper gains X amount of mana. Enemy is slowed by X% for X amount of seconds
Max Level* Reapers Scythe – The Reaper raises his scythe and tears a large gash in the fabric of reality opening a hole into the abyss large enough to sustain itself for a longer period of time. The vacuum of the abyss sucks all creatures towards its centre including the Reaper himself. Lasts 3 Seconds, can cast every 20 seconds. Deals X Damage during the 3 Seconds..
Max Level* Chaos Mastery – The Reaper gains an understanding of Chaotic energies from the abyss and learns how to gain power from these energies. For every successful Chaos attack (Chaos Blast, Chaos Nova) The Reaper gains X amount of mana, For every unsuccessful Chaos attack (Backfire) the Reaper loses X amount of mana.
I will probably end up expanding on this and writing a shit load like archie but at the moment im really tired. also seeing if any of this could tie into the diablo lore/story/history
