With Blizzard's 2008 Worldwide Invitational just around the corner, you know that Blizzard is gonna do something big to hype up the event. Remember the timeline thing they did last year that led to the announcement of Starcraft 2?
Well now if you visit www.blizzard.com (http://www.blizzard.com), you'll be greeted by a page which looks like an ice shattering with 3 mysterious symbols. It all began on Monday when the crack wasn't as big and there was only one symbol (the left most one) which turns out to be one of the symbols from the Frostmourne (http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1stsymbolnk7.jpg) sword from Warcraft. Then a new symbol appear yesterday (upper right) which was identified to be the Hel rune (http://img145.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2ndsymbolae0.jpg) from the Diablo universe. Today, the crack again grew bigger and a third symbol appeared (bottom left), the Protoss (http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?image=3rdsymboleg7.jpg) symbol.
With still a couple of days away from WWI, which takes place on Saturday June 28 and Sunday June 29 in Paris, I'm excited what kind of "symbols" they'll reveal tomorrow and Friday since the big three franchises has already been shown. And what will be the big announcement when the ice finally shatters... a new project? release dates for Starcraft 2 / Wrath of the Lich King? Diablo 3???
Time will tell.
-
can't wait for the announcement; I'm not far from the event but I won't be there -_-
I'll check the live streams (http://eu.blizzard.com/wwi08/streams.xml) for sure :lol:
A Diablo III would be definitely cool...
-
Yeah, there's been a lot of speculation over the new splash.
DIII would rock, but then I'm worried it'll disappoint me.
-
I think it's about Wrath of the Lich King, definitely. If you look here (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath/) at the information page for Wrath of the Lich King, there is an ice theme and the eyes look very similar to what is in the center of that shattered ice. Plus they've been talking about the expansion for a long time, so it's about time. Interestingly, when you go to http://www.worldofwarcraft.com you receive the same image of shattering ice with the symbols, but if you go to http://www.starcraft2.com, you don't. This tells me that any announcements that will be made are more than likely not about any starcraft releases. But I could be wrong.
-
^Yeah it does seem like it'll be announcement for WotLK. The eyes from the teaser matches, although not 100% perfectly, to Arthas. All this teaser and hype over an expansion of a game that's has already been announced... how disappointing.
But then again..... could it be? (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/blizzard-to-unveil-new-title-at-worldwide-invitational)
I guess we'll know for sure tomorrow.

DIABLO 3
-
DIABLO MOTHERFUCKIN THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cow:
OMFG!! First SC2 now THIS!!!!!
Gameplay is similar to Diablo I and II, 3/4 overhead view, point and click style action adventure. Demo showed two classes, the Barbarian and a new class called the Witch Doctor... kinda like the Necromancer. Multiplayer will be played on Battle.net. No words if there will be any subscription fees... hopefully not.
EDIT: Pics, trailer, and gameplay demo are up: http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/

The Witchdoctor better not be a replacement for the Necromancer, or the Druid for that matter.
But damn, I'm so fucking hyped. :lol:

Haha. Being the special individual that I am, I thought "Hey, these would make cool wallpapers at relatively little cost to my time, so why not?"

they're talking about DIII right now; check the live streams! xD
-
FUCKIN YES
Oh man this is gonna be epic.
-
Hmm... 5 years ago I would have been all over this, but now I'm finding it hard to get excited. It doesn't really seem to promise much that hasn't been done in other games...
-
DAMN......!!!!!!
DIABLO 3 FINALLY HAS A LIGHT ON!!!

Hey Avabie,
Actually, the Diablo 3 beta has just been released ! I got my hand on a beta key and I finished the beta with most of the characters so far. Also, Blizzard announced today (on the official battle net website) that the official release will be earlier in 2012. They announced some other news such as the new barbarian skills system (diablo 3 barbarian skills (http://diablo3area.com/diablo3-barbarian-skills.php) ), and the introduction of the new runestones.
Anyone here at Jphip the beta so far?
-
Awesome. Quick looking forward to playing it. No beta invite though.
-
Man.... i spent the last 3 days reading up and watching loads of videos of gameplay and explainations of systems etc.
all i can say is that..... i can't wait for it to come out ! What do you guys plan to make as your first character? (any1 here in Asia? gona play we can play together :pimp:)
Alot of my friends from home (UK) are playing it but bcuz of the time difference playing together constantly would be difficult.
I'm really really stuck between choosing a wizard or a Dhunter for my first char. The video of the Wizard and jus destroying creeps and mobs is soo crazy. While the DHunter can't nuke as fast but has more survivability.

The intro for diablo 3 came out this month!

I find it funny that that "Diablo III confirmed" thread started in 2008. Happy new year!

Ordered my Collector's Edition today. :D

-
Anyone know if you get into closed beta when you pre order a copy?
-
I pre-ordered and didn't get any info on the beta.
-
I haven't played D1 or 2, but I've played World of Warcraft since beta. Since WoW's sort of at a stand-still until Mists of Pandaria, do you guys think I'll enjoy D3?
-
Hard to say without playing it. WoW and Diablo do have a lot in common (Diablo being more action orientated), so there's a good chance.
-
pre-ordered my copy from play-asia :thumbsup

do u guys think with the original keys i have from diablo 2 i can play the 3 without problem ?
-
Seriously ?? No, you can't play D3 with a D2 key :wth
makes no sense
The Beta was only an Battle.net Auth-System bug :(
-
The Beta is open for everyone this weekend
https://us.battle.net/account/download/?show=d3
-
Didn't preorder it yet. Never played the first two.
When beta was open, I tried out Demon hunter and monk. I think I'm gonna go with Demon hunter when its released.
-
just two weeks more and I'll be able to beat the shi* out of those evil minions XD
-
D3 coming out next week. So close yet so far. I hate this feeling of waiting for something to come.

The day has finally arrived! Has anyone played yet? My friend was bugging me a lot last night at the 2am server launch. I heard it was nearly impossible to log on.. Being in development for 10 years, I hoped there aren't any glitches xD Will probably try to play this weekend.
-
^ I wanted too but couldn't, it won't past the updating setup files page :banghead:...then it also prompts diablo 3 temp folder can't be created :angry:
-
I finished Act 1 as monk last night. XD Still getting used to the new skills/runes thing. Hopefully I can grind for a few more levels tonight since we might have work on the weekend. :sweatdrop:

How is the Wizard character? Is it pretty much the same as a Sorceress? I was always fond of my druid in Diablo II :cry: I would walk around and act like I was an air bender >_>

Takin it slow, finally finished Act II. The cinematic between acts are amazing.
Here's my monk with his fabulous pink pants

kinda, but the wizard uses a whole new sets of spells and magics so far the ones I find really useful were the ice beam like (which was like a freezing lazer), then a spirit ball that explodes upon contact (really helpful when going against many opponents), a somewhat similar power to pein in naruto anime (you blow projectiles and enemies away)...
I haven't unlock all the powers yet since I'm only playing during night time (got work during the day), but for me the wizard is really a powerful range character..give it a try :)

-
any of you guys experience buying stuff from the AH but then it didn't show up on your stash/inventory???, I bought a quiver and a cloak for my DH but when I look at the item in the completed auction to send it to my stash, the stuffs I bought didn't show up :shocked ...I just hope blizzard would fix this if ever its still bugged :angry: :banghead:

Korean government raids Blizzard over Diablo 3 complaints
The Korean Federal Trade Commission raided Blizzard's Seoul office on Monday as part of an investigation into consumer claims that Blizzard has refused to refund Diablo 3 to eligible Korean players.
The FTC says it suspects Blizzard of violating Korean law on electronic commerce and commercial contracts, and it gathered documents and other evidence relevant to its investigation in the raid. Some Korean players were frustrated with Diablo 3's server issues at launch and asked for refunds, which Blizzard denied, citing its sales contract terms, The Korea Times reports. The FTC considers these terms to be disadvantageous to players.
"We have received many complaints from Diablo 3 users," FTC spokesman Kim Hyung-bae says.
Another angle the FTC is investigating is whether Blizzard should be held liable for its "ill-preparation" in regards to player traffic, The Korea Times says.
On that note, who has a raid tonight? Oh, the Korean government. Right.

The Butcher was down within a Minute on Inferno with 4 Players, but I must farm some Gold in Act 1 first for better Equipment
-
How's everyone doing after the new patch? :P
I'm still can't solo Inferno Belial so I'm back to doing Warden-Butcher runs. I never catch some of my friends online at the same time so we can kill him and get to Act 3. I started getting lvl 61-62 items with pretty decent stats (avg 40+ resist all but no added dex or vit so I end up selling them). Still haven't sold anything yet in the RMAH though :lol:
The new friggin repair cost rates are driving me to near bankruptcy so I bought some gold find gear that could still roll through Act 1. :lol:
-
so, anyone still play this game? Everyone in my friends list hasn't been on for at least 14 days now =P
I feel like i'm stuck in act 2 inferno. I can't buy anything cuz they're priced so high. i really don't want to farm for hours just to get 1 item... i'm tired of act 1 inferno and act 3 nightmare runs. I dunno, sometimes i feel like there's no reason to have inferno mode.
I started a barb, its like level 54 now.
-
^ I'm still playing it once in a while to farm some gold and to check if there are any cheap stuff worth buying in the AH lol. Most of the people in my friends list also haven't logged in for quite some time. :/
btw, the profiles feature is now up on the Blizzard site.
Here's the monk I'm playing:

Not sure if it's still currently showing the GF/MF gear so the stats are a bit bad :lol:
I definitely need more dmg and loh but i'll have to sacrifice some all resistance items for it.
-
oh, cool! here's my wd (and my other chars that i play once in a while)

-----
so, i like the 1.04 patch =) I think it will make me play again. i'm gonna try using pets again.
-
I just started playing the starter version. I never played any of the series before, or any games like this.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing.
I'm really enjoying it, though. Nice atmosphere, decent gameplay. Skeletons ain't got shit on my monk, son.
-
Finally beat inferno last weekend, unintentionally :P
I was just trying if my gear can handle act 4, next thing I know I was already at Diablo. The monsters in act 4 were easier than the ones in act 2 and 3. I did die quite a few times and had to sacrifice the Neph valor to swap to Mantra of Evasion for better survivability.
Now I can focus on farming to get better gear with MF/GF. Most of the legendaries I got after the patch aren't that good. :lol:
-
D3 was a let down. I mean that game was really good.. then it got really hard ... if you didn't spend a lot of time playing it... everybody eelse was waaaaay ahead... I guess im just complaining.. but the game was imba in the beg... they fixed a lot of those things.. but i eventually left to play WoW again.
-
lol i finally beat it in inferno after they give you the choice to chose the monster power it was ridiculous ghom shoots his gas everywhere and cant even move it was impossible without good gear but most you find are complete garbage i had never once found anything good just a shoe with good resist that i manage to sell for 30mil my brothers zerk with decent gear still dies and ive been only finding legendary with my lower lv alts wtf
