Defo agree with what has been said above about that demonic looking fallen angel. I really hope it's Inarius. Would make some kind of sense if he returned after the worldstone's destruction considering his powers were linked to the stone in some way.

Quote from "GrrrboyMC" »I'll take your word for it, although I'm looking and can't see that anywhere, either on the wallpaper itself, in the filename or above the links to download the different sizes of wallpapers themselves. Maybe the site is regional. Maybe I just can't see it
Quote from sef239 »I've been lurking this site for years but now I have finally registered. Anyways, here's an interesting comment I decided to paste from the Diablo 3 forums on battle.net concerning the (most interesting) new picture of the angel.
"It's Imperius, the Archangel of War. He wanted to destroy Sanctuary at some point, but Tyrael used his final vote to save it from destruction at the council of heaven.
Imperius' sign is an upside down sword or something, that's why I think it's him. Also, it would make sense that since Tyrael really influenced the outcome in d2, maybe he was cast down, thus allowing Imperius to descend on Sanctuary (the meteor in the cinematic?) to put an end to the descendants of the Nephalem."

Anyway, looks like the petition had an effect, after all
Quote from "ryanmax24" »im gonna laugh though if the new art director isnt happy with D3s art direction lol now that would be a kick in the teeth.
Quote from "Luckmann" »First of all, even the Art Director is a subject to the whims of his superiors; He can only act in the extent the others allow him to - he'd have a say, but they'd be able to run him over, and any artist worth their salt wouldn't take that for all too long.
Second.. do you REALLY think Actiblizz would cite "artistic differences" in the current climate, if their Art Director upped and left because Actiblizz insisted on a snuttified D3?
Quote from "liquid" »Maybe he was unhappy with what Blizzard was happy with?

I also don't think it's possible to get rid of spam completely. Blizzard just gets it more because WoW is a very popular game people are willing to spend a lot on. It's a bigger target.

I'm very familiar with the auction ending earlier than stated bug but I really don't think this is what's causing it.
I'm not saying it's not technically possible, obviously it is. Tons of old online games were plagued with exploits because they didn't preform server side checks before allowing some actions. But for it to happen nowadays would be ALMOST beyond the realm of possibility, especially coming from Blizzard who has some of the best experience with online games and exploits that come with them.
The main difference here between the canceling with the clock was that only affected your own auctions. So I guess it wasn't looked at as a big deal and probably forgotten about during testing. I don't even think it was possible to force an auction to end successfully with a bid by setting your time forward was it? This however would have to run through the server, which would mean it'd be checked (or should be like everything else) and you can't trick that.
It's FAR, MANY TIMES, more likely someone is spinning an semi-intricate hoax than for a company to actually forget this sort of thing all of the sudden, and well if for some reason it is real, then yes this is a huge problem and pretty stupid if missed.

Hacks and exploits always get out and found about quickly if they're real because loose lips sink ships as the old saying goes.

If it only works in those cases it sounds more like the clock changing thing but the server won't actually send the item when it checks to see if the data is correct.
There is almost 0% chance that a company could forget something like server side checks nowadays. That's how we see every kind of hack so it's the first thing you don't allow is data from clients to just freely do what it wants on the server. That's like, Online Gaming 101. If somehow this was actually possible and Blizzard missed something like that my brain would explode, especially since I'm sure they'd know from WoW how that works.
If it's legit we'd be seeing tons of posts and videos about it.
Now that it's been explained more it sounds like someone trying to fool the clock again to think the auction has ended so your bid would win, which in some weird circumstance for whatever reason MIGHT send out messages that the bid was lost and it's gone now, maybe for some outlandish reason it would send the messages before it checks, but there is no realistic way the server is going to say "Fine yeah, send the item.".

You can't "fool" the server into thinking anything. Because the server will check it's records first and foremost. Anything you try to do will be delivered to the server, the server will check to see if it's correct, and then send permission to allow it.
You can change client side data to make it appear like you have more gold. Or maybe even that the buyout on an item is higher than it should be, but you can't change the actual server data.
So if you witnessed it with your own eyes that's more likely. Someone changed the value to show falsely that the buyout was higher in order to trick you into thinking what you saw was genuine.

Also no offense meant to you, seeing as you wrote the article.

Too bad you'd die of a heart attack before you could benefit from anything positive in that burger. Assuming there's much anyways.

I'd be afraid to even touch that. It looks so white. I have this fear of getting white things dirty.

They've also said before though DPS isn't everything on a weapon. So what do they consider "better".
