So guyz what do you think it going to be Heaven vs Hell an epic battle bet .My questions is can blizzard do it is a lot to do yo Heaven vs Hell, Diablo, baal, meth, vs lesser man its going to be sweet.
In the Diablo series, we learn that the three Prime Evils were kicked out of hell by the Lesser Evils. Now, most of you are probably thinking that Diablo and friends were roaming the mortal world with actual bodies. However, this is not the case. When they were kicked out, they lingered on the mortal plane as spirits, more or less due to the fact that the Worldstone doesn't allow them to enter the mortal world. The worldstone dictates that as long as it stands, the forces of Heaven and Hell cannot envelop the Earth.
The Prime Evils lingered as spirts, and influenced mortals. It wasn't until the Horadrim sealed them away in the Soulstones that they were truly trapped and gone. However, they were still able to possess people. Mostly, the ones with a weaker will. Lazarus was the first, and by his corruption Diablos Soulstone was shattered (But not destroyed), and Diablo was free. However, Diablos essence was still tied to that Soulstone. He could not physically manifest himself on the mortal realm if it did not exist.
When the Hero in the first game killed Diablo, his spirit could not return to hell because of the Soulstone. As per the novels, a demon cannot truly be killed, only sent back to where he came from. Diablo was trapped on Earth, and had to exert himself over the Hero as well to return to power.
At the end of Diablo 2, when we shatter kill him, and shatter his soulstone, we remove the thing which ties him to us. Without the Soulstone, he can only exist in Hell.
HOWEVER. The Worldstone. The worldstone served as a barricade for the agents of Heaven and Hell. As long as it exists, no one of the two sides can intervene on Earth (Unless by other powerful magics, of course.). Tyrael destroys the Worldstone because it is the only way. The corrupted worldstone that Baal had created would have simply allowed the demons of hell to spill forth on the Mortal plane. The difference being that the Heavens would not be able to help the Mortals. With the Worldstone shattered, Tyrael is basically setting in motion the second Sin War. Which is probably what the third game will follow...
ALSO: Without the Worldstone, Diablo and the other Prime Evils can go between Earth and Hell at will. They are no longer dependant on the soulstone: For Diablo, this means that his character will be missing and iconic detail. I'm thinking it's entirely possible he's changed his look to accomodate.
... Okay, wow. That was longer than I thought it would be. Er... So... Yeah. My knowledge of the games lore isn't entirely correct, so I'm sure a few things I mentioned are off... But, that's my theory as it stands.
TL;DR version: Diablo doesn't need his Soulstone anymore because the worldstone was destoyed, and that lets him and the other prime evils enter the Mortal world at will. The agents of heaven can do so as well. Diablo 3 will probably focus on a second Sin War.
I love how you all are freaking out that its been 8 years .... StarCraft fans waited 10 years for an announcement and it will be nearly 12 before the game is out. SC is more popular than diablo and still played worldwide on professional circuits.
I would absolutely love the drama if its not announced or its an MMO !!!
- GL fans
OMG your a dumdass you no why stacraft is played at the wpc because its a real-time not a rpg really stupid post
Maby the teaser is there to reveal a fan art contest winner. Did they ever say they were revealing the new game in the teaser or did everyone just assume that? Mabe th Panguine was 3rd place. 2nd place is in the Teaser and 1st place is going to be announced at WWI?? Just a thought.
hey thats a good point bet why all of this waiting and hyping for .One contest winner
bet then again remember they did this last year and you no that or something like this.
So its luck how would be no as fans what they are doing. They can make what ever they made and change it as there doing right now like everyone said.Bet really it all come down to the WWI this teaser can say anything so .
just playing remember Blizzard can use anything change anything .They can change that warcarft 3 undead skull into diablo head it can be done if they want to it looks kind of like him anywas.
