As always this triggers the discussion, if Diablo 3’s art has taken a new direction, after the previous Art Director was sacked.</p> <p>I think the new screenshots speak for themselves. They’re definitely more contrasty and have plenty of dark areas. The outside areas (Act II?) are looking similar to Luth Golein, so Blizzard seems to have taken to heart the pleas of their fan base. </p> http://www.diablo-3-forum.com/topic/diablo-3-out-on-09-09-09#post-7 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 04:29:36 +0000 admin 7@http://www.diablo-3-forum.com/ <p>Now, prepare to be surprised by some of the reasoning behind this “news”. Diablo 3 release date has been a hot topic and we’ve all heard the usual Blizzard rhetoric that Diablo 3 will come out WHEN the game is ready.</p> <p>First, some background: a guy who played Diablo 2 for years got a DOL rune and experimented with it until it crushed the game. He got an error message … a series of meaningless numbers. Or are they?</p> <p> 64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39.</p> <p>So why is this significant in ANY way? OK, this is the geek part: 64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39 is hex for : Diablo 3 09/09/09. That means that if you translate the hexadecimal code, it gives you Diablo 3’s release date.</p> <p>Now, the critical part. How likely is that Diablo 2 developers knew in advance when Diablo 3 will be released? NOT LIKELY. At the same time, if I were head of development at Blizzard and I was a bit of a numerology freak… I’d pick EXACTLY this date. Why?</p> <p>Well, it’s pretty obvious. 09-09-09 represents 666 if you turn it upside down. The number of the beast! (cue the Iron Maiden song here) </p> http://www.diablo-3-forum.com/topic/diablo-3-class-wizard#post-6 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 04:26:15 +0000 admin 6@http://www.diablo-3-forum.com/ <p>Blizzard have finally revealed the third Diablo 3 character - a Wizard. As far as I can tell from the gameplay video and the class description, it looks like a copy&amp;paste of the good ole Diablo 2 Sorceress.</p> <p>The Wizard skills revealed thus far are:</p> <p> * Disintegrate - constant ray of energy going through multiple enemies<br /> * Electrocute - chain lightning<br /> * Teleport - blink about half a screen away<br /> * Magic Missile - single target damage spell<br /> * Slow Time - creates a sphere that slows down projectiles (very similar to the Protoss Mothership skill) </p>
