    Quote from OmniNom

    So I'd like to make my one millionth "I totally called it" post about Leahblo, because frankly I have no other claim to fame. Whether or not you lesser folk acknowledge my awesomeness is up to you. But my thread on this was the FIRST.

    *puts on sunglasses*

    I'm gonna say no to Leahablo and yes to Adriablo...

    posted a message on The Soulstone plot, who's doing what
    I am actually wondering if the black soulstone is the opposite of the worldstone...

    Ie the worldstone came from the being of complete good.

    Therefore why wouldn't there be an equivalent evil object...

    posted a message on Will Diablo Take Over Leah's Body?
    So if we are going to let the speculation run riot....

    What about Diablo taking over Adria...

    Dark wanderer spends a night with Adria, Adria becomes pregnant... Leah is born... but within Adria Diablo placed a small portion of his power... instead of transferring to a weak and new born baby it instead stays with the powerful witch.

    The Lore team said Adria is dead but it did not say how... and essentially being turned into Diablo kills people...

    is there a monthly fee to play d3 like wow????

    No, they have stated a number of times now that there will be no monthly access fee. I think that they are hoping to use the RMAH to pay for some of the server costs.

    Where is the info coming from that he is the angel of wisdom? The sin war trilogy doesn't describe him but rather mentions that...

    A visible shiver ran through not only Meldeln but also the rest when the angel Malthael spoke. His voice brought nightmares of death to Meldeln -- a permanent, empty death.
    WHATEVER THE CHOICE, IN THE END IT DOES NOT MATTER FOR ME ..... I ABSTAIN.


    Now, one could speculate that this means he is the angel of death but nowhere in there can I fathom how we got the angel of wisdom from that. Also is this the outdated reference you are talking about?
    Is there some other source that I am not aware of?

    Malthael the angel of ...

    In some places he is described as the angel of wisdom, in others the angel of death.
    Which is it? Even the wiki seems to alternate between the two.

    posted a message on I need Help! (English Techniques)
    Quote from Nightblaze1

    Ok now all I need is one more.

    I just need:

    "This wasn't the place I remembered. Empty bottles and cans of beer littered the table..."

    I was thinking of colloquialism but this technique is only used in the word "wasn't"...

    This to me reeks of reflectivism with a bit of descriptive language thrown in on the side.

    Please note I am not an english teacher and I took my HSC well over 10 years ago now.

    posted a message on scripted fights and carebears?
    For people saying that PvE is too easy and not a challenge... I draw your attention back to post nerf instances in WoW. It took people 1 year to get past the first two giants in MC... I won't mention 1 hour lockout vael in BWL or unbeatable C'Thun.

    So how does this relate to Diablo... well basically the designers of the game can make scripted events as challenging or simple as they desire. What blizzard is going for these days is something that is accessible to the majority of players with more than one brain cell. As a mainly PvE player I get really frustrated when things are changed to make that content more simple... I truly hope Inferno is ridiculously hard... but I am doubtful it will be because then it would limit the replayability of diablo for the majority of players.

    One of the main reasons I dislike pvp is due to the differences in latency (now supposedly d3 does away with that so maybe it will work)... if someone has 50ms and you have 400ms you are at a distinct disadvantage even if you are a better player.

    The whole calling each other names because of someone's preference while playing a game for fun is completely stupid. Do you go to a soccer match and start calling the players scrubs because they don't play football? People need to get over themselves and stop basing their self worth on making others feel bad.

    posted a message on Fixed the girly barb
    Quote from Bahamut185

    Ok so I was looking through some images and I came across the "nude" fem barb. I looked at her in sections trying to figure out why she was so unattractive when I noticed her proportions were off slightly so i took a crack a shooping her to pretty her up, here are the results.

    Shes not going to win any beauty contests but I wouldn't mind receiving "death by snoo snoo" anymore
    Not sure if it was on purpose or not but her breasts shouldn't have been that far down

    Edit: I might have made them a smidge bigger as well but whos counting

    This is in no way a comment on your photoshop skills (which I am sure well outweigh mine), but it appears to me that the only difference here between the two pics is that the one on the left is wearing a push-up bra and the one on the right is not.

    I'm sure if you look at real world women (note: not ones with breast implants) that their breasts will do exactly the same thing depending on the type of bra they are wearing.

    posted a message on Bashiok comments on Opt-In Numbers
    I wouldn't call it interesting but rather informative... although not very informative. A slight correction though... its not just wave one but all beta opt ins... and even that doesn't have to be very much. I have no idea how many F&F and press passes went out but it probably isn't a terribly huge number... all bashiok said is that it is more than them...
    For example (making numbers up)
    F&F - 50 people
    Media - 100 people
    Contests - 50 people
    Total = 200

    Opt in invites sent out - 201 ... statement true (Total amount likely to be more than this)

    The general perception is that not many invites have gone out... without knowing the actual numbers from F&F, Media and Contests we still cannot say how many have gone out... it may be substantial or it may be negligble.

    It is a community managers job to keep the community happy with the company... by saying this but not giving details Bashiok has assuaged some people's issues about invites and made it sound like a large number have gone out.

    And for some reason Australia is not allowed... but there is Austria so I guess that is close enough.
