Diablo III

[Maes]

If it's not Diablo 3, Blizzard is doing a fantastic job of just plain fucking with peoples' heads by doing this.

[Izayoi]

Oh dear, there been this conversation about Diablo 3 ever since Diablo 2 LoD came out and it been here like forever; how long has it been? 8 years?

BTW: "Has hell frozen over yet?" was one of Death Knight's quotes from Warcraft 3. If I remember correctly.

[Dingo]

10 bucks says this is WotLK propaganda.


In the unlikely event that i am wrong, I'll treat everyone in this thread to e-coffee :P

[Maes]

One of my initial thoughts was WotLK Beta announcement stuff, but I wouldn't think that that would be big enough news to do something like this. Diablo 3, on the other hand, would be huge news.

[Cheezy]

There are some hints that make Diablo 3 very possible to be their next game

1. Diablo2 was released on June 29th. The second day of the upcoming World Wide Invitational, and the day Blizzard has their planned press conference.

2. The hidden symbols appear to be very similar to some of Diablo2's runes. The first one represents Shael, the second one represent's Hel.





3. The link diablo3.com doesn't redirect to diablofans.com anymore.

Also, for those saying there is nothing left of the diablo story, that is not true. There are 2 lesser evils left:

Azmodan - Lord of Sin
Belial - Lord of Lies

One question: Would you still play diablo for no story if it had similar game play with all the fun packed action?

For me, yeah. I loved the fast paced action of diablo II and LOD and I would still play it. Not like diablo I or II had much of a decent storyline yet it was still quite popular. Doesn't matter, not like Blizzard has made a terrible game since it's start.

People bought Diablo 2 and LOD for its story...?
I bought it to kill things and giggle happily as their blood sprayed the floor

Blizzard doesn't fool its fans, unless it's April 1st.

I said this in response for those buying the game for the story. Just checking...

I was merely reinforcing the point that I don't think many D2 players bought it for the story is all

I happen to like the Diablo story very much thank you >.>

As do I. Although slaying miscellaneous creatures and watching their blood splatter onto the ground is also quite fun in itself.

[Seditary]

Well the overall extended diablo storyline is all well and good, but there's not much of it present in the games really.

This should convince EVERYONE that Diablo 3 is coming
Seriously, the clues point right at Diablo 3.

Since sc2pod is down right now, here's a post I made elsewhere:

23 = W if we go by the letter scheming. Also, another rune is visible a bit left of center near the bottom.

I got nothin' now for what it might be.

[boggart]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest: How about a new franchise all together?

[Maes]

After some looking around, the left rune(first one) is on Frostmourne, the upper right rune(second one) is a Hel Rune from D2, and the lower left one(third one) is a Protoss clan insignia from SC2. So... God only knows what they're going to announce, unless it's just going to be a dumb WWI notification thing.

I dismissed the idea of a new franchise yesterday, but after the 3rd rune's appearance it's looking more and more likely that that is the case to me.

Time will tell, need moar pics!

[technomo12]

well at first it was good but man after becomnig godlike it is soooooo boring

i prefer SC2 than diable

I hope this is true I pray this is true . Its been too long and I dont want to get my hopes up ^o^
