Official Diablo 3 discussion thread

[Diablo3]

1. Most of the original creators of the Diablo franchise have moved on (ie left Blizzard
2. Diablo and his siblings are all dead and the Worldstone has been destroyed
3. Hell took a heavy beating in D2
4. Blizzard are currently more concerned with World of Warcraft and after that, SC Ghost




1 - Whats does them leaving have to do with anything? You dont think other people can make story lines to continue on, or create images of barbians? or to think up new items? There has been many franchises where the creator has left and the company brings out new titles. Hell, even different companies create games for franchises owned by someone else...

2 - Take a look at how Diablo ended and how they twisted the world around to make Diablo 2. Its very simple to make up new story lines. Anything that has to do with there not being a story line so there cant be a diablo 3 for an argument is a joke. So what if all the original creators still worked at Blizzard, they wouldnt have been able to make another one because they left no openings in the story line? I dont think so.

3 - uhmm ok

4 - Ghost is done for, and blizzard has more teams that have confirmed they are working on 2 projects...


I think its time for you to remove your "no chance of Diablo 3" sticky... lol

Its up there because we were tired of "OMFG PROOOOOOF OF DIABLO 3" and they post that picture in your avatar is sole proof. Its a fake, its been proven fake, and it will continue to be fake until blizzard makes a comment saying that they are making diablo 3.

Relax there buddy, I never said once the little picture in my avatar was proof =)

[Neo]

I wrote up an article (haha, to see if I could) about rumours on diablo III over at d2p. I thought I did a pretty good job on explaining a few possibilities and showing possible proof for Diablo III.

I'm interested to know how you intend on keeping diablo3.com? You realize that Blizzard would have very little trouble getting that domain from you? All they would have to do is file a domain... report... thingy with ICANN :P

I would definetly suggest you have a backup.

EDIT: And i didn't really agree with the sticky that blue made way back when I was still running these diablo forums, I made a point to edit it a few times.

[SilentBob]

Someone please explain the point of creating this thread to me?


NeoEdit: Unfortunetly you may not have known that the last head of Blizzard North gave an interview where he said he was (along with the others in his new company/group) were looking forward to Diablo III.

Blizzard will make a Diablo III, and its fine to speculate on it, but there are no certain things, no set dates, no beta stuff floating around. Right now you should focus on WoW or SCG as Blizzard Games. :)
And if you feel like criticizing a post read the entire thing and then make a post/thread concerning it.

I'll give the thread creator till midnight my time (5 hours from now) to respond and then I'm closing this.

[dʞ]

Don't close it, just chage it to a D3 Discussion thread and then go from there, sticky the thread and let people fire back and forth ideas but limit it to one thread. That should save everyone a lot of hassle.

As for me, I'm pretty sure I posted on these or the SCL forums a while ago about the job opportunities at Blizzard, what they were hiring for and where it all pointed. Straight for DIII, whether they have started work is unknown but I'm pretty sure thats what all the positions were for.

Uhm, because he disagreed with the sticky post, and because he couldn't respond to it, he decided to post a new thread?

To close like one of the only few active threads currently in the Diablo forums seems like an awefully bad idea.

Fair enough. I'll leave it unstickied for now since there isn't much chance of it going away for a while yet. Once it gets more traffic I'll put it up top.

It seems that he disagreed with the first half of the sticky post and didn't read your edited portion which is pretty much the same thing as what he said: It's been mentioned and it could happen, but nothing's concrete.

But mostly the title ticked me off a bit.

Edit: Fuck it, it's stickied.

Other than the fact that Diablo III might become World of Diablo, no, not much.

ZOMG worldstone = portal to a parallel universe with more monsters and demons to fight...

wewt creativity.

[whitedragon8903]

alright, so lets give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that blizzard is in the process of making a diablo 3 (which i think will NEVER happened, but it would be nice). Even if they are working on it at the pace which blizzard makes games we will all be dead by the time it is released.

[Proceri]

And don't say those two lesser evils will be part of the sequel since they're only LESSER, in other words weaker then Diablo and co
Those 2 lesser evils overthrew the prime evils. And if they wern't so power hungry.... the war may have ended.... in hells favor.

Now Diablo 3 probably will have a long coming....because the same team that made Diablo 1 and 2 made WoW and is now making WoW: Expansion. Minus those who left obviously.

[Neo]

I still say a prequal game would be really bad ass.

Like one set during the Sin Wars.

-Neo

[Proceri]

Neo of all the crappy, horrible, upsetting ideas that was not one! That is one kick ass idea actually.

Maybe being one of the enlightened ones that sees the hell vs heaven and you pick a side(or automatically be on heavens?). Be one of the mages that tracks down baal to fight him.

[Neo]

Heh.

Well that was my second favorite idea for D3.

Personally I want to see D3 feature Tyreal prominently -- and like some kind of decade or centuries long conspiracy between heaven and/or hell, or Tyreal and everyone else.

Like, secretly, he was paving the way for himself to take over Hell and become all-powerful and stuff. I dunno.

But the Sin Wars would be fun because it would allow diablo + bros to come back, plus we could get to see newer classes (perhaps?)

-Neo

[Proceri]

Maybe a story that shows possible talks between Tyreal, Azmodan, and Belial. Where when Azmodan and Belial would attack heaven after sending the prime evils to the mortal world Tyreal would do his best to empty heaven into the mortal world in order for a share of power? Just a thought to go on with yours.
Although I do doubt Tyreal would decieve heaven....

I do see how the story could be continued. We don't know the exact effects the worldstone being destroyed will produce. There are two more lesser evils.
Most of all...........
The war is not over.

Didn't I bring this up a looooong time ago?


Bah, I hate when forums die, along with all my evidence.

[flamling2]

the main difference i see between the warcraft series and diablo series, is diablo u kill things quick, and warcraft things take 4 years to die....As long as they dont fuck up the "lots of blood and death from chainlightning or hammers" part, im happy.

[Proceri]

Warcraft is fantasy that has elves, goblins, etc... and no heaven and hell.
Diablo is dark fantasy that has demons & undead and a war between heaven and hell.

[The Weird One]

The idea of a prequel is probably one of the best ideas I've heard... It could easily be set also.... but has Blizzard really made a prequel to any of their games... even though Diablo has a huge gap (hell I played the first and second diablo game and don't fully understand it)... and remember if u played Hellfire it is NOT considered a part of the Diablo storyline... It is possible that the lesser evils know a way to russerect Diablo and his brothers but there are problems with that idea... and in the diablo world there are many possibilities of the lesser evils becoming even more powrful... there are hundreds of possibilitys to happen for a sequel to diablo

I think I mentioned it before you :P

Anyway what I want from D3 is to play from the other side. To be honest, Hell has absoutly nothing to throw at us any more.
I mean all the Prime Evils were owned within a game and its expansion, what can the two remaining Lesser Evils do? All they'll do is become the new Pindleskin

[Proceri]

The two remaining lesser evils pwned the Prime Evils sorry to say.

(hell I played the first and second diablo game and don't fully understand it).
I completely get it. All that happens at the end of Diablo is you travel east and slowly turn into Diablo as he consumes your soul. This is happen because you shoved the soul stone into your forehead.

[blue.rellik]

Oh really? Is that stated that those the Lesser Evils beat all 3 Prime? Or did they get the help of all of Hell?

[goliath]

hell has taken a huge damage at the end of D2 but i would want a new Primary Evil in the Hell. Like TYREAL!! you may say it riddiculus but it would be perfect. Under the affect of Three primary evil, a fallen angel could be a great aid for hell... think about a completely black tyreal with red aura...

or i'm just crazy:suspect: :D...

[Meatloaf_man]

well technically all the demons that followed diablo were angels at one point, even diablo... well, thats according to this illyad kinda thing called paradise lost that i just heard in rather great detail from my english teacher. apparently lucifer, who was gods right hand man or somethin like that, was chosen after jesus and was pissed off cuz of that (aka byelsebub,diablo, devil). he then rallies some other angels and creates hell and from there on its all like that... god smites his ass off lol, and yea.... all those hammerdins mustve rly hurt.... ouchzors.

I believe that is wrong, Diablo is a fantasy creation remember.
Since the Beginning, the forces of Light and Darkness have engaged in an eternal war: the Great Conflict, whose victor will rise from the apocalyptic ashes to hold sway over all creation.
-From the diablo 1 manual.

Oh really? Is that stated that those the Lesser Evils beat all 3 Prime? Or did they get the help of all of Hell?
Considering it says:
"In their ignorance, the Lesser Evils began to believe that the Three were afraid to continue the war with Heaven. Frustrated by the cessation of the war, Azmodan and Belial saw the situation as their chance to overthrow the Prime Evils and take control of Hell for themselves. The two demon lords made a pact with their minor brethren, assuring them that the wretched plague of humanity would not deter the ultimate victory of the sons of Hell. Azmodan and Belial devised a plan to end the stalemate, achieve victory in the Sin War and ultimately ride the bloody crest of the Great Conflict straight into the very arms of Armageddon. Thus, a great revolution was set into motion as all of Hell went to war against the Three Brothers...

The Brothers fought with all the savagery of the Underworld, and to their credit, annihilated a third of Hell's treacherous legions. In the end, however, they were overcome by the Horned Death led by the traitors Azmodan and Belial. The Prime Evils, weakened and bodiless, were banished to the mortal realm where Azmodan hoped that they would remain trapped forever. Azmodan believed that with the Three set loose upon humanity, the Angels would be forced to turn their focus upon the mortal plane - thus leaving the Gates of Heaven abandoned and defenseless. Those few demons who still pledged allegiance to the Three Brothers fled the wrath of Azmodan and Belial, escaping to the realm of Man to seek out their lost Masters."

I believe hell was divided. Because at the end, at the 3 brothers banishment, there will still demons who pledged allegiance to the three brothers. Few however due to the fact that there was just a civil war.
I would however agree that the prime evils would have been outnumbered.

[blue.rellik]

Thank you for dismissing your earlier post. I didn't deny the 3 were beaten, I was saying that the 2 did not defeat the 3

Well of course not hand to hand combat. There was a Civil War and they won. Influence can mean a lot more than power.

So as long as they retain influence, they can retain order in hell, thereby being much more than pindleskin.

[Nex-Atomic77]

Blizzard has said Diablo series is not over yet and they will probably return to it at some point. the ending of LOD when Tyreal talks is proof enough that something is comming up eventually. Why would blizzard give up on such a wonderful game anyways? Diablo is technically older then warcraft and that series got 3 games so Diablo will get its turn. Its only a matter of time. and yess the diablo team is looking for new people if you haven't noticed.

[The Weird One]

Awesome this thread was russerected from the old depths of BF. Thank you mods you are the best!

The chances of D3 are pretty likely. Apparently there are 3 unannounced projects, one of which is probably D3 obviously.

Just in case someone sees this thread again and decides to make up a good idea for D3 always remember hellfire was not made by Blizzard and its storyline has been completly ignored by Blizzard also.

For all the nay-sayers that think D3 is impossible, think of the hundreds of possibilities for D3. When you thought it was over the hero was possessed by Diablo and Diablo became even more powerful because of the hero. There is a lesser evil loose, even though the lesser evils are not as powerful, they seem to be much more clever then even the Prime Evils. Plus there are probably ways for the lesser evils to become even stronger, like I said hundreds of ideas :D.

Thanks again mods! or admins... or... someone else hmm...

[Mike]

My old, old, OLD theory for D3 was to have the human world essentially shattered after the destruction of the worldstone. Essentially, humanity would be reduced to guerilla bands of scavengers and nomads that scraped a living and evaded wandering packs of demons. If I recall, the idea of the Worldstone being destroyed meant the prime plane would meld with Hell. The heroes would be charged with recovering pieces of the Worldstone and reassembling them in order to bring about a mass exorcism of demons and return the balance of the worlds.

And who knows about the fate of Diablo and his brothers? All it takes is a little writing finese and the Three can be back to cause some havoc. All these little shards of worldstones would be perfect for disembodied essences to inhabit....

Apart from the story, I'm more worried about the gameplay. I really want to see them keep the 3/4 view, instead of opting for the tired MMO 3d style. That view is so classic to Diablo, I just can't see any continuation of the series without it.

I love Diablo 1. I love Hellfire... I love spirit in this games.

Diablo 1 is a murky game... the creeps, fear,dread.... Forbidding crucifix in monastery... People in town who are asking God - how it can be possible?... Evil is everywhere...

I'm afraid that Diablo 3 will be game without this everything. Blizzard can't forget - in games the most important thing is what I feel - not what I see. "NVidia - means to be played" - I don't need this. I hate this. Why? There is a simply reason...

Diablo 2 has too many colours... Like a fairy tale :(:(:( .Diablo 3 cannot be such a colorful !

Darkness...
Darkness...
Darkness...

[Aya]

1. Not all of the Lesser Evils are dead. Belial and Azmodan are still alive.
2. The World Stone was destroyed at the end of LOD and we don't know what effect that'll have on Sanctuary. Its entirely possible that the three realms (Heaven, Sanctuary, Hell) could partially or entirely merge together.

[Shadow Paladin]

I really don't get the "kek" joke... Nor what "aggrod" and "LFG" means.

[SilentBob]

Kek ~ Due to the World of Warcraft linguistics engine, a Horde player saying 'lol' will, to an Alliance player, appear to be saying 'Kek'. 'Kek' is often used as a term by both Horde and Alliance, though to a Horde member, 'Kek' would translate as gibberish if used by Alliance.

Aggro
- noun To have aggro means that the enemy mobs are focused on the player. Sometimes this is done intentionally, as in the case of a tank, other times it is unintentional and undesirable, as in the case of a group's healer gaining aggro.
- adj. When a mob is aggro, it will attack non-cloaked players within a certain radius. Depending on the MMORPG being played, the cloaking can vary and be based on sight, sound, smell or a combination of these three.
- noun How "angry" a mob is at a certain player. If a mob is very angry at a certain player, it will not easily be distracted and switch to attacking another player. It's desirable for a tank to have a lot of aggro. Can also be used to describe how much aggro a player or ability generates, eg. "This wizard spell causes a lot of damage but it also gives a lot of aggro, so use it with caution".

Had a random thought about what happens after the worldstone is shattered. After reading some lore of the game, the universe is seperated into 3 Planes of existance: Heaven's Plane, The Mortal's Plane, and Hell's Plane. Without direct means of transportation, nor will to bind themselves to the mortal plane, the two lesser evils who overthrew the prime evils were still stuck in Hell. As it were, heaven and hell could only influence mankind into doing thier bidding as it was a great sin to travel to the mortal plane (hence tyraels story) in which anyone who traveled there would be damned. Now, the worldstone was corrupted by baal, but does anyone remember why baal wanted to corrupt the worldstone in the first place?

My theory is that he wanted to open the gates of hell to the mortal plane, which was bound to the pure worldstone. With the worldstone destroyed by tyrael, both the gates of heaven and hell opened and the war of good and evil plunges the mortal plane into war.

As you start your new character you have the choice to play for the legions of hell or the gaurdians of heaven.

I hope they dont make a Diablo III. If they do, chances are they will screw it up. The graphics will be updated and the 3/4view will be abandoned. The unique "build your own character" play style unique to Diablo II will be replaced with a "track" where everyone learns the same skills in a job as everyone else with little chance for customization. This is my fear.

Now if they managed to make it just as good or better than Diablo II, I could die happy. Keep the 3/4 view with an upgrade in the 3D "feel" of the game. Keep it fast paced like Diablo II by continuing to have items effect attack, casting, and run speeds. Make each different character 100% customizable with their own strengths and weaknesses, stat points, skill trees, and equipment. Balance all the jobs in PvP and PvM.

Maybe even throw into the mix an option for race and gender (I am conflicted about whether or not this should effect stats. Considering how Diablo II is, everyone seeks to make their build "perfect", so if stats were effected by race and gender, chances are you would see certain jobs overwhelmed by a specific race and gender. ie: Male Orcish Warriors - Assuming men and orcs would have more strength. Yes I know their are no Orcs in Diablo, it was an example.)

I like the idea of having to progress through different difficulties. This means that people who play for story can progress through the game without giving much thought to their character build and still see how the games ends. Harder difficulties should be reserved for people who have taken time to get great items and create strong character builds.

I think their should also be more end-game play. The ubers were a great idea, but for Diablo III I would like to see areas designed for more experienced and strongly built characters.

They should definately keep the option of "Normal" (Crappy) and "Hardcore" (Only way to play.) In their as well. In conclusion, Diablo III would be awesome if it was just more of everything we love in Diablo II.

They couldn't do bias stats based on gender for legal reasons, but they definately can base stats on race.

What kind of races would you expect to see? Actually to be more specific, what kind of clan influences from previous games could effect this game.

Horadrim comes to mind :)

Ummm.. I am fairly certain you can put base statistic differences on gender. It might not be a huge selling point, which is probably why we dont see it much today, but their is nothing illegal about giving woman an extra Charisma point and men and extra Strength point.

I dont know much about Diablo lore, I just remember owning Hardcore USEast with my 94 Lightning Sorceress. I was thinking whether or not we should keep the same classes, or totally revamp them... All good questions. Ill think about it and post later.
