Why I think Blizzard had released D3 already

Because I'm playing it right now. Oh sure, the cover SAYS World of
Warcraft, but it is D3, no doubt about it. Points to ponder...

1)There is a quest in a barren desert-like valley with a waypoint near
by. Your job is to go down into a tunnel system (and there are several
to choose from) called Uldman, and collect a headpiece and a staff. You
must then combine the two and form a super-staff that you then place in
a socket. When you do, bright light shoots out and opens up a secret
passage. You then fight a lone boss that is really big and fast and
chills you with frost spells. No joke, did this last night.

2) There is a weapon in the game called the Tomb Reaver. It has a
special skill on it that when activated makes you spin around really
fast like a tornado and god help any monster close by to you when you
do. It has this cool mini-tornado animation to it.

3)I bought a bow last night. A moderately rare one called SkyStrike.

4) I have seen a mini-Diablo (with the words [Lord of Destruction]
written over his head, about 100 times so far.

5) Staff of Jordan weapon. Too close for comfort

6) Even when you are ridiculously high in level, low level monsters
still try to take a swipe at your if you come near. Oh they have no
chance of hurting you at all, but still quite annoying.

Anex.....Explodeazon, I did a /census command last night. I'm in the
top 5 ranked Undead Rogues on the server *starts to do cabbage patch*
go me...go me...it's my birthday...go me. (not really my b-day btw)

thats the thing about blizzard that i hate the most. they find a good
concept and continually change the form and the name of the games.
first example that comes to me right now - starcraft - zerg cannot
build over normal lands only land convertted by them and their
hatcheries/ warcraft3 - undead can build over bliss i.e land converted
by their minions and their death forthress... and their are many other
examples like these if you take the time to look closely at the
blizzard titles...

I agree. I was thinking (rare)... the resources needed to support this game
and the steady income earnt will prevent Blizz from releasing another major
title for a long time and this is kind of a Marriage of Warcraft and
Diablo2. If there is a major title released in rpg, perhaps it would be on
the Starcraft side.

My oldest toon is only 26 so I have no knowledge of blue or purple items
apart from those I see in the WTS chat. :)
A Windforce would be nice, and how about the sound the bow makes... I love
it.... *creak thwat!*

I wish I could have gotten a Collectors Edition, I would have loved a
mini-diablo pet.

> 5) Staff of Jordan weapon. Too close for comfort

Hehe, the new currency!

Yup, they seem to be able to land 100% of their hits even if they're 10 or
15 levels lower than me. Though I 'm a cloth wearer, perhaps it's different
for mail/plate wearers. Are there any "diablo-like" penalties to defence or
block rate when running?

No really, well done! *whispers* "horde scum*

Stu.
*They nerf the Priest's Mind Soothe because it allowed them to avoid
content, yet they ignore the rogues ability to do just that. I just don't
understand... was 5% of the server population too many Priests? Are they
actively working to make priests the most painfull class to level? (All
rhetoric, just having a whinge.)

*pats Stu paternally*

I know, I know. */emote spits on alliance*
I think they did it so that Priest/Warlock party combinations wouldn't make
the instances too easy for them. Think about it, they would rule. */emote
spits on alliance*

which reminds me of a funny incident. We were guarding crossroads when a
bunch of alliance palys started taking pot shots at the guards. My warlock
buddy Mind Controlled each one right into the guards! It was great!

With the Collectors Edition of World 0f Warcraft you can have a free pet.
All the pets are about 1 foot tall and either a replica Diablo, Zergling or
Panda Cub.
Gimmicky but still pretty cool.

Stu.
*There is a Guild on Llane called "The Panda Brigade" Tabard is a paw print.
:)
I presume they are all collectors edition owners.

Do they help you kill stuff like a merc? Can they die? Are they useful at

I think it was an easy out in concepts for them....reusing properties from
an earlier success. Certainly not a D3.

Nope. They're strictly NPC, Panda Cub will probably fall asleep while the
last of your hit points is consumed by an Elite pack. :)

Isn't Diablo technically the Lord of Hatred? The Lord of Destruction is

Yeah, with the correction you've already been given, but "Lord of
Terror" wouldn't help them sell other games ;-)

Oh, lord. Having to deal with Duriel is enough to make me want to
avoid the game.

Heh. Should be a mini-Baal; Diablo was lord of terror, not
destruction.
