Diablo

The real stars of Heroes of the Storm are all the different characters from the varied Blizzard franchises you get to play in one hectic arena.

New skins and mounts for Heroes of the Storm's upcoming Eternal Conflict are previewed.

From this whirling nightmare, this bloated ruin of the first evil's corpse crawled the demons. The Burning Hells could in a real sense be said to be the blackened corpse of Tathemet itself, and at the center of the Hells lies the Black Abyss, from which rose the Great Evils. Essentially birthed from the seven heads of Tathemet, there were the three Primes -- Mephisto, Baal and Diablo -- and the four Lessers.

One of the core tenets of multiple Blizzard games is the immersive role that the player assumes within the game.

I wrote a post about the WoW Token, and the comments had some interesting ideas. One of them was that we could expand what the token does - you could extend the token or make a new token for things like character transfers, race changes, faction transfers and so on. Allowing people to use their in-game gold more flexibly and allowing people to select the kind of services they spent their real life money to trade in, especially after the initial burst of token activity is over and most people that are going to do it have bought game time.

For today's Know Your Lore, we're putting on our tinfoil hat and speculating about the nephalem of Diablo 3.

For the Diablo III players among us, some news - this Monday, March 23rd, there will be a live question and answer with several of the developers on Diablo III, talking about the next patch and season for the game.

Despite the presence of Uldyssian and his followers, it was merely a chapter, a small one in a saga that links us from the creation of the world of Sanctuary to the present day. One cannot discuss the Sin War without discussing nephalem, for in a way, the nephalem are far more important to the cosmos than Sanctuary, Inarius or Lilith. More important than the Archangels or Prime Evils.

I was having a discussion about Garona Halforcen the other day because of her status as the first legendary follower, and the person I was discussing it with told me flat out he didn't care about the story of World of Warcraft at all

Of course I would. And one of the things I've learned in playing D3 with my wife is, ranged players will get you killed. No, really. They don't pay attention to the battlefield, they gleefully drag you face first through every pack in existence, it is a constant series of terrifying moments playing with one of them.
