Official Diablo 3 thread

[elNarr]

This forum needs moar Diablo talk I miss it.

This.

The last act will probably have Belial that we will have to kill.
Baal could also be possible, because his soulstone was never broken.

I am really looking forward to the world after worldstone's break.
This will mean that we get a hole new aspect to the game, most likely new 'classes' or talent-like builds that change the whole image of the class ( not like normal specs, like a paladin being a zealadin / hammeradin for example - instead, getting a whole new 'view' on the specific class that changes them tremendously ).

For example, a paladin can master some of the dark/necromantic arts (lore reasons - paladins failing at crusade due to worldstone breaking , etc ) . Simply, adding a new spec tree basically.


I sincerely hope that this won't be made out as a 3rd-person RPG / MMORPG, but instead , from the bird-perspective just like Diablo 1 and 2.

 

[Kaination]

Maybe since Baal's soulstone was never broken, he comes back and creates newer demons, and maybe recreates diablo stronger then before.

I agree with LegendarY. I hope it's bird-perspective.

Ya I was really hoping they stick to the Diablo 1 and 2 view of things and not go all Warcraft on it.

There is this game called Mythos that is ment to be like a 3d clone of Diablo in a lot of ways, anyone played it?

owww gameplay

Here's an interesting post I found on the WoW forums.

It's Diablo 3.

Hel Rune

We got 04.jpg, 15.jpg

hopefully the next few days it will be 09.jpg 01.jpg 02.jpg 12.jpg

D _ _ _ _ 0

Hell Freezes Over Cheesy hopefully we get all

http://sc2pod.com/ has the whole thing, already updated for more info of the theory

Original Theory:

The url of the images begins with us.media.blizzard.com/232309/

Why 232309? If we assume that the numbers correspond to the letters in the alphabet we get 232309=WWI ... ring a bell? World Wide Invitational
23 = W
23 = W
09 = I
Anyway the "hidden" picture is called 04.jpg. (http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/04.jpg)
My guess is that tomorrow we'll see a picture called 09.jpg, then on Wednesday 01.jpg ....

Today is 04.jpg = D
if Tomorrow will be 09.jpg = I (if its not, maybe not diablo at all Tongue)
Wednesday will be 01.jpg = A
Thursday will be 02.jpg = B
Friday will be 12.jpg = L
Saturday will be 15.jpg = O (June 28 WWI 1st Day, Good to announce here also.)
Sunday will be 3.jpg = 3 or three.jpg or whichever. = (June 29 WII 2nd Day, and B-day of Diablo, more better to announce here.)

Since blizzard made released .15jpg it still holds up!

I agree with LegendarY. I hope it's bird-perspective.

Diablo can't come back anymore, his soulstone was destroyed in Hellfire.

We could get a bunch of new , more powerful demons instead as you just said.

 

[Damaera]

04 and 15 combined:

 

[elNarr]

That looks awfully a lot like Tuskarr, but that's just me i guess..

 

[Damaera]

I have a feeling that the bottom left is going to be the last image.

 

[Gama]

could be but also tuskarrs dont have flappy hands and fur around their necks

Blizzard prob are just screwing with us and the image will turn out to be Wotlk

 

[Damaera]

Another interesting post.

First "rune" on the left: looks like a Sheal rune: "shall"
second "rune" on the right: Looks (should say: IS) a Hell rune: Hell

Shall Hell

Tomorrow: Fal rune (Shall hell Fall) ?

Taken from Diablo II unoffical forums.

Inverted version of the 'teaser' :

You should see a lot of hidden runes now.

EDIT:


Also, a theory :

Since Tyrael destroyed the world stone, it could be possible that he got possessed / corrupted and that shapes him in to a demon.

Conclusion : Tyrael might be the prime evil. A wild guess, but still.

Came up with this :

That's from the last minutes of Diablo 2's ending scene.

Resembles the new 'teaser' quite a lot, doesn't it ?

 

[Damaera]

Very interesting picture I saw.

 

[elNarr]

This should confirm it.

Then there's this, not sure if it's real :

 

[ZeroNightmare]

I think there was some theory on this forum a while back that Tyreal gets corrupted by the world stone.

I believe the term is isometric.


And I really hope this has NOTHING to do with Lich King. I will cry many tears if it is.

 

[Brosiris]

i'd lol so hard if it wasn't diablo 3

Ah, thank you for correcting me, hehe.


And no, why would they mess Warcraft universe together with Diablo's?

 

[Damaera]

I might add, it's on every site that blizzard owns.

 

[Damaera]

Double post, blahblah.
