    this game's cow level should be essentially Candyland, full of rainbows and unicorns and stupid cute ponies and fairies and everything.

    Then you bust in and murder everything horrifically.

    Actually the Blizzcast interview unlocked on the reveal site made hints at the new Cow level having to do with the slain former Cow King being restless in death. So perhaps we'll get zombie cows!

    So... if you kept your RMAH credits on your account, could you use the credits to buy that shirt?

    If the writing from SCII is any indication diablo will burst from deckard cain's body and shout "stay a while, and die!"

    That's many levels above SCII's writing. I'd make them hire you to finish out the expansions if I could.

    I'm, like, a Tower Sentry-level of influence though. Not even a tower nearby.

    Diablo and his minions were just being controlled by an evil force contained in the stones. Once you destroy them it turns out he and all the demons, zombies and fell beasts are pretty cool dudes.

    Well played.

    I can't think of a better way for all of us here to cooperate in the beginning than somehow combining crafting efforts. There is going to be a major gold crunch until lvl 60 probably, and the majority of the costs will be upfront costs for leveling the artisans.

    For example, there is a sweet lvl 27 Master Great Axe. Cost for one roll: 1354g and some mats; cost to level your blacksmith to be able to craft it: 65,000g. And it only spirals out from there.

    An easy and reasonably fair method would be if the really eager crafters identified themselves and agreed to craft for the non-crafters. The non-crafters would bring the required gold and materials for their desired item, plus extra gold for the services that the crafters would then reinvest into leveling the blacksmith.

    If you don't get any bites here, you should check out D3 sanctuary. theres alot of D3 clans forming there looking for just that. Also some of the streaming D3 teams on twitch.tv.

    Well the angels wanted to wipe out Sanctuary as well. You can thank Tyrael for them not doing it.

    I'm still convinced that shattering the Worldstone made Tyrael batshit loco. At least that's what I'm hoping happened. Everything is his fault, really.

    Nope, he made the best of a bad situation. The Worldstone being corrupted would have been an automatic win for the demonic forces. Sanctuary would have become a permanent outpost of hell. Tyrael not only blocked that, he also removed the Worldstone as mankind's power limiter.

    In other words, while demonic forces have easier access to Sanctuary, Tyrael just gave the human race a MASSIVE advantage. As in, in theory they can fight equally with angels and demons like the Nephelim used to be able to.

    I think it's sort of laughable people keep expecting Tyrael to be evil. I mean, can't we just have one good angel? Really? Is that SO terrible?

    THAT would be the biggest plot twist. Tyreal isn't (totally) unique. Heaven is largely pretty cool and been busy assaulting Hell/whatever this whole time and when things start going to shit and all the Demons start pouring out of the ground, who follows them out but some pissed off Angels and things get really crazy.

    But yeah, I'll settle for Tyrael being on the level.

    Yes.

    Basically, if it's not human and in Diablo, I want to kill it. (and then take its stuff.)

    Edit: although I am curious about the worldstone as a limit on power stuff. I don't recall reading anything about that, and would love to hear more.

    Funneling resources to a dedicated crafter is a really good idea, by the way. I'm going to level up my crafting anyway, to be honest, and I don't mind helping everyone out. I see a lot of different numbers referring to the amount of gold (along with a certain number of things like "Tomes of Secrets" and "Pages of Blacksmithing), and it's obviously a lot easier for the group of us to collectively spend that amount of resources to level a dedicated crafter than it is for us each to individually spend that amount of resources to level one up ourselves. I'll be doing Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting all day erry day.

    Yeah, there have been some changes made to the nature of
    Undeath and stuff. As I understand it when something particularly spoileriffic is in the area, shit just wakes up. All the undead and lots of big unpleasant things in the cathedral are back because of the meteor. Prior to that it was pretty quiet.
