I KNEW IT!
Not the spoiler bit, but that the female wizard was voiced by Grey DiLisle (Azula from Avatar). Perfect fit, IMO.
The rest...must resist spoiler. Must...focus...on...work.

And then the lag. BOOOO!
But seriously, how can anyone play in this? My game would pause for about 10 seconds everytime I shot and killed a zombie with my poison dart. I gave up before I even got in the New Tristram. -

Personally, I'm going for fighting heaven to primary be in the expansion, because Hell moved first. Or, it would because Heaven moved first, but Hell made the overt move and so the heroes go after them.
Either way, if they set up D3's story correctly for an expansion (and does anyone think there will not be an expansion?), then they could easily flow from fighting Demons to fighting Angels without the story being split into two "campaigns" that are just barely connected, story wise.
If that is Blizz's plan, then I hope they have some foreshadowing in the main game involving hunt down angels. It would be a great side quest (even more so if it is hidden and so if you don't find it, then you don't have a blank in the quest screening telling you as such). So we would either fight a few low level Angels, or at the end you find out the bad thing the quest is trying to fix was caused by an angel, not a demon. -

They said over and again they don't want traits to be under-powered or boring... then things like +Gold find should NOT be a trait. I really hope it's not....
Unless, of course, just maybe, gold is actually...I don't know...useful? Because, if you actually need gold, maybe this is worthwhile? -

TheDFO posted a message on The Cosmology of Diablo: Angels and DemonsSo, I'm new here, but not to Diablo by any means (I do believe I was around to by D2 and LoD when they were knew, but that was awhile ago). And sorry for the necro post, but it somewhat fits my missive on the Angel of Death issues.Posted in: News
Anyway, I feel you all are taking "Death" as a MORTAL human would (understandable, I doubt any of you are immortal aliens), as in, "shuffle off this mortal coil." Basically, dying is something unavoidable. I very much doubt that either the Angels, or the higher up Demons, would agree. It might be a possibility, but not a necessity of living, like it is for us flesh piles.
Think of it more like this: When you clean up some space, and you find something that doesn't fit, you move it. But if the thing that doesn't fit also doesn't fit have it's place anywhere, you get rid of it. You throw out trash, swat bugs, flush waste, etc. To an Angel, Death might mean the complete erasure of time. Malthael may simply be the Angel in charge of removing things that do not have their place in the Angels idea of Order (well, at least those things that can be removed by a single angel). They felt that humans are/were abominations, and thus should be DESTROYED, as in cease to exist, erased from all of existence.
That would probably make Malthael the Angel of Death, Oblivion, Nothingness, or something else. He could possibly be the opposite of Baal. Instead of wanton destruction, he would govern the excise of unwanted things. The surgeon who removes tumors, if you will. It could also be said that he's the opposite of Mephisto, what with the orderly remove of that which does not fit being about as far from Chaos as you can get. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

First off, there are some cheap, busted ass ferrari's out there. Top Gear did a cheap car challenge with ferrari's and one of them bought one for something like $1500. Yes, a lot compared to the price of a game account, but less than what a ferrari might be worth.
Second, I guess if the price is high enough, this won't matter.

Other than that, the size of the health pots seems to be an issue. Are they greater or super pots? They just seem so much bigger than the stamina pots.

So...we're agreeing on what this whole buying/selling accounts issue was started for - that BoE won't cause mass buying/selling of accounts with high level items. Which is what Daanland predicted would happen.
Or, at very least, it won't reach the same level as it would in other games where you can have as many accounts as you want for free (D2), or as many as you want as long as you pay the monthly fee (WoW).

That's what I was thinking.
What would be nice is several battlechests set up as different era's of games. So you might be able to get one now that has Warcraft 1 and Diablo 1, plus the SNES games blizz made, or one with SC1 and D2 + LOD. And maybe another that's SC2 and WoW.

Alright then. That's fun.
But that seems to support my argument, as in order to actually make a business off of selling these things (which seems to be the majority of sellers, but I could be wrong), you need a ready supply of accounts. If you only get one account per game, then you need to buy a new game for each account, right? So unless there is a way around that issue, then no one will really be buying accounts, unless they "loan" accounts to special trainer sites that do the hard work for you.
And I very much doubt Blizz will make it possible to legally get new accounts for cheap.

@Daanland - you're right, it might be able to get CD key's for cheap. But that seems unlike that blizz will let people buy the game (which is what getting a B.Net capable CD key amounts to nowadays, what with the download game client stuff) for less than the full price of the game at the time.
And if you mean like how it's easy to get a D2 CD key online right now, for one, my guess is Blizzard is going to make it hard to spoof CD keys for online play. So we're back to the illegal means of getting new CD keys that I talked about one of the ways to circumvent what I am talking about.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but MMO accounts aren't tied to a specific CD Key that is tied to a specific B.net account. Further more, these accounts aren't tied to full priced games.
For example purposes, I go back to how I believe SC2 accounts work.
If I sell you my account, I can give you my log in and password. That probably works, but now how do I play? At least with SC2, I would need to buy the full game again in order to make a new account (because, at least at the moment, you get ONE account per SC2 CD key.
Unless I'm wrong, WoW accounts aren't limited to one account per CD key, and the only way to get said CD key (legally) is to purchase another full priced ($60) game. You just have to continue paying the monthly rate for each account. D3 is going to be (Hopefully) free to play online, but not to install the game.
Granted, if you just wanted a single player game this wouldn't be true...

1) The best case scenario here, someone is tired of the game and sells you his account (but not the actual game for some reason)
2) Second best - you pay for someone's game AND account.
3) Worst - you pay for a stolen account.
Unless I'm totally off with how the accounts work in SC2, and that they will work similarly in D3, I just don't see how people will be able to reasonably sell accounts in any meaningful amounts (except the above scenarios).

You DO realize those breath masks don't actually work...plus there's the whole "getting on clothing which sticks to you for a long time bit. If it WERE airborne, you'd have three options to really survive it 1) get the fuck out of dodge, and hope it doesn't follow you, 2) hope your born immune, 3) wear a full body suit and O2 tank and/or a filter capable of screening out viruses (expensive, delicate, and clumsy).
That said, good article.

As to the wanderer right outside the docks, yeah, that's not well explained. While there are ways to justify it (some plausible, some not so much), I just chalk it up to poor communication between the cinematic team and the map team.
There were? Sorry, I never played WoW, and was going soley based on how the campaign portrayed Illidian (what with the way people responded to his particular powers)
I thought it was generally accepted that the warrior was the wanderer, the rogue was blood raven, and the wizard become the false summoner. And if they did die to the Butcher, why is BR described in D2 as a great captain in the fight against Diablo in Tristram?
Thanks, didn't know that.

But I still voted for the stygian dolls. Really, anything based off the fetish model is really f'ing annoying, whether its those packs of blow dart using jerks, the shamans, or the stygian dolls.
