<p>Sing in Silence: /* Added https to The Dark links */</p> <hr /> <div>A &quot;mod&quot; refers to a a &quot;modified&quot; version of a game, usually a player-made version of the game with various added features or gameplay changes. Such games are generally referred to as &quot;mods.&quot; See the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_%28computer_gaming%29 wikipedia modding page] for useful background info about modding computer games.<br /> * &quot;Mod&quot; is a common [[Reference|abbreviation]], and can also often refer to a forum or chat room moderator.<br /> <br /> ==Diablo Series Modding==<br /> <br /> There is a long history of modding the games in the Diablo series, with Diablo 1, [[Hellfire]], Diablo 2, and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction all having been the subject of numerous high-quality player-made mods. <br /> <br /> Modders have been somewhat limited when working on the Diablo games since the sprite-based graphics are very difficult to modify or augment. Clever modders have found ways to modify existing graphics, and even add new ones (there are countless new spell graphics in the Median mod), but this is a much more complicated process than re-skinning characters or creating new levels in most 3D games. As such all Diablo mods still use virtually all of the original character and monster graphics/animations. Modders may be able to remake Diablo 3 in much grander fashion, when that time comes.<br /> <br /> The Diablo 3 team has consistently stated that there are no plans to support modding in Diablo 3. (There was virtually no mod support in Diablo or Diablo 2 either, until the v1.10 patch made modding the game considerably easier, and fans persevered nevertheless. It's assumed we'll see similar efforts made on Diablo 3.)<br /> <br /> See {{iw|Mod the Mods page}} in the Diablo 3 wiki for more details and official statements.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Playing Mods Online==<br /> <br /> No mods for Diablo or Diablo 2 are playable over Battle.net. While some mods are single player only, most are fully functional with multiplayer, and all active mods have forums where users can meet up to arrange TCP/IP or LAN play sessions.<br /> <br /> The multiplayer functionality of future, hypothetical Diablo 3 mods is in question, since Blizzard is unlikely to support TCP/IP play with their future titles. (Starcraft 2 will not.) Programmers in the community will likely work to crack this feature and enable online play without connecting to Battle.net. If/when this is managed, mod makers will surely take advantage of it.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Diablo and Hellfire Mods==<br /> <br /> ===Varaya and Khan's===<br /> <br /> The first Diablo 1 mod to gain widespread popularity was made by [[Varaya and Khan]], two German Diablo fans who created their own upgraded version of the game. They soon took their modding skills further by creating a partial conversion, giving Diablo a Middle Earth theme, with numerous items, monsters, and locations inspired by Tolkien's ''Lord of the Rings'' series. This mod was expanded upon and updated numerous times once Hellfire was released.<br /> <br /> The V&amp;K mods are no longer maintained or updated, but playable versions can still be found and downloaded. See [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=715948&amp;highlight=varaya+khan this forum thread] for more details.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===The Hell===<br /> <br /> The Hell is another Diablo/Hellfire mod that adds greatly to the original gameplay experience. It's much more difficult than standard Hellfire, reworks the items and monsters entirely, and greatly changes the character balance.

<p>Sing in Silence: Current mod version updated</p> <hr /> <div>Median XL is a popular Diablo 2 [[mod]] authored by [[Brother Laz]]. <br /> <br /> ==Blizzard Notice==<br /> <br /> Median is popular and technically proficient enough that it was commented on by some of the Diablo 3 designers during an interview at Blizzcon 2009. [http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/pc/games/156898.Diablo-III/features/133759.20090831.BlizzCon-Diablo-III-devs-discuss-design-decisions-direction-depth-drops/]<br /> <br /> ::'''''GamePlanet:''' Have you guys ever played any of the mods that you get for Diablo II, the likes of the Median XL mod? Have you heard of that?<br /> ::'''Kevin Martens:''' Oh yeah, I played that like crazy! I love it!<br /> <br /> ::'''''GamePlanet:''' So have you taken any sort of inspiration from some of the changes he has made at all?<br /> ::'''Kevin Martens:''' You bet! It kinda hit us a few months back, people started playing a lot of it and brought it in and we took a look at it. There's some things that people have done with that game that I think are exemplary. He's done an awesome job actually of monster placement and creating combat scenarios where monsters tend to 'bleed in' from the outside, and take a combat situation that at first seemed like it was something you could handle, and then suddenly grows into something that is way out of hand! And it creates these really awesome moments. He came up with some really novel monster abilities and skills and stuff. It's a terrific example of a mod.<br /> <br /> ::A lot of people will look at Diablo changes that we make sometimes and say &quot;if you do that you'll ruin the game!&quot;, and then here's an example of somebody who's changed almost everything about Diablo II, but somehow preserved the game, you know, it still feels a lot like Diablo II! Even though lots of things have changed, including the health system -- things that are like, totally taboo, don't change that or it's over! And yet they did it. So that's a terrific example of exactly the kinds of forward thinking that we like. I don't know how he got half that stuff in there! In fact I went back and I asked one of the original artists on the game, how did he do that?! And they were like, I don't know! (laughs)<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Median FAQ==<br /> The following is copied from the official Median site.<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;big&gt;'''Welcome to the Median XL wiki'''&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> A '''Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction''' mod, created by '''Brother Laz'''<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> ==What is '''Median XL'''?==<br /> <br /> '''Median XL''' is a '''mod''' for '''Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction''', created by Brother Laz.

A ''mod'' changes the game itself, and generally speaking one of the main aims of a mod is usually to make the game ''harder''. The changes may be very minor and insignificant (e.g. changing caps to look like afros), or major (e.g. giving monsters new skills).<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Median XL''' is a mod which makes extensive changes to many features of the game, including the character classes, monsters, and items.

''What does this mod do?'' and ''Where do I start?'' are common questions which will be addressed with brief, to-the-point summaries.

<p>Sing in Silence: Vulpine =/= %PDR, &amp;melee only.</p> <hr /> <div>{{Item navbox}}<br /> =Introduction=<br /> <br /> Prefixes Occur before an item name and only one per magical item. Like Suffixes and Other Modifiers, Prefixes have a list of modifiers they can and can not occur with. Similar quality modifiers are found on the same item, as they were in Diablo. One added complication is that Rares, Uniques, and Item Sets list all of their modifiers by effect, and they can mix and match prefixes, suffixes, and other modifiers freely, so it's difficult to tell what exactly is giving the item a given property.<br /> <br /> Rare items can have up to three prefixes, but only one from each family of prefixes. Magical items have one or none. Magical items have a 50% chance of a suffix only, 25% chance of a prefix only, and 25% chance of both. <br /> <br /> * No prefixes will occur with others from the same family on the same Rare item. So if you got +%Defense on some kind of armor, you would get either Sturdy, Strong, Blessed, Glorious, Saintly, or Holy, but never more than one on the same item.<br /> * Alvl (Affix Level): This figure is the level of the affix. The Ilvl of an item usually is equal to the maximum possible Alvl. For example a sword dropped by an Mlvl 50 creature would have an Ilvl of 50, and the highest affixes possible on it would be Alvl 50.<br /> * Clvl req is 3/4 the highest Alvl on an item. So a Rare with with four mods, Ilvl 8, 22, 30, and 70 would require Clvl 52 to equip.<br /> * Note on item types: Armor = Body Armors and Helms; Weapons = all damage-inflicting items except Bows, Orbs, Scepters, Staves, and Wands; Bows = Bows and Crossbows<br /> <br /> <br /> '' ''<br /> <br /> =+ points to Attack Rating=<br /> <br /> {|<br /> |-<br /> !

If the total damage is near the same, take the item with a bigger min, since you're guaranteed to do at least that much damage every time.

<p>Sing in Silence: </p> <hr /> <div>Hello Widus! I see you have done a shitload of stuff in the wiki ([[Special:Contributions/Widus|look here]]), I almost assume you have some wiki experience from before? I have just started myself to try and sort these two wikis out to some extent, and It would be nice to have someone to ask for opinions, advice or the like... Are you used to talk on forums only, or on talk pages like these as well?

<p>Sing in Silence: </p> <hr /> <div>The likelihood of a specific item to be chosen to spawn, out of a group of equally valid choices.<br /> <br /> For example: The game decides that a Unique Ring should drop. &lt;br&gt;<br /> There are many possible outputs. Nagelring's higher rarity (283 in cLoD) as compared to, for example, Raven Frost (188.7), makes it the likelier of the two to drop.<br /> <br /> Rarity is expressed as items per 1000 items of that type, e.g. The Stone of Jordan is listed at 18.9/1000. This means that out of 1000 unique rings dropped that were high enough level to be The Stone of Jordan, 18.9 would be, on average.<br /> <br /> {{stub}}</div>

<p>Sing in Silence: </p> <hr /> <div>==Contributions==<br /> Hello there, Singer! =) Nice updates on [[Ethereal]] and the [[Snotspill]] article. It's short, but informative on Snotspill, and naturally just a miss in the Ethereal article that needed fixing. Is this your first wiki edit, or have you contributed to other wikis in the past? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 12:50, 8 December 2008 (CET)<br /> <br /> :U there? =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 19:04, 1 April 2009 (CEST)<br /> <br /> <br /> == Re:Contributions ==<br /> Oh, hi!<br /> And thanks.<br /> <br /> You'll have to (well, not *have* to) excuse me. I'm new to all things wiki, be it etiquette, interface, syntax, etc., so I'm very much still figuring things out.<br /> (Which is why I did a couple of edits in a row. Did something, then saw on another page a way to do it better, or somesuch. Don't recall anymore :p)<br /> <br /> I've more or less figured out BBCode, but this is my first wiki edit, here or anywhere.<br /> <br /> I've been lurking (unregistered) around here on and off for a while (lots of good info around here =) ), noticed the [[Snotspill]] (and later the [[Ethereal]] article) and those seemed an appropriate (introduction and) &quot;birthday present&quot; :p<br /> <br /> Actually, this is the first time I've been able to log on since then.<br /> It kept giving me &quot;bad username or password&quot;. :\<br /> So sorry for not responding before now.<br /> I just got the notification today. After the trouble logging on, I was rather surprised.<br /> : Oh. I was trying to log in with the &quot;quick login&quot; (pair of boxes, top right of diii.net's main page), except that that's for the forums. Which are separate from the wiki. As the wiki's main page says. &lt;br&gt;<br /> :Now I feel stupid :S<br /> <br /> And, uh, as you may have noticed, I tend to talk alot. &gt;.&gt; &lt;br&gt;<br /> (Edit: Ooh, hey!

I just realized that &quot;History&quot; means that ''every single change'' made is saved. &lt;br&gt;<br /> Which I guess is a good thing, but it means I'll have to be a '''lot''' less trigger-happy with the 'Edit' button. &lt;br&gt;<br /> (I'm used to forums where edits aren't tracked if it's the last post...)) --[[User:Sing in Silence|Sing in Silence]] 03:46, 2 April 2009 (CEST)<br /> <br /> :Hello again!

I'm very glad you fixed that talk help page typo, everyone else must have just missed that during the last 9 or so months it has been there! =) Never hesitate to change such a thing, rather change to what you think it should be, and leave a question on the talk page of the article, if you're not sure. =)<br /> <br /> ::Well, I'm betting that no one else here really needed to look there any time recently :P --[[User:Sing in Silence|Sing in Silence]] 18:51, 2 April 2009 (CEST)<br /> <br /> :As for talk pages, it custom to date stamp every single edit you make, so even smaller clarifications etc, just use the &quot;:&quot; to indent it a bit, and stamp it.

<p>Sing in Silence: </p> <hr /> <div>In any wiki, it's important to communicate between the contributors, and for this reason, we have '''talk''' pages.<br /> <br /> ==What's a Talk Page?==<br /> A wiki contains a lot of talk pages, and these are the central place for discussion on the cooperative project we call DiabloWiki. Every page has a talk page, and they are there to discuss that particular article. They work like a posting board, just like on the {{wl|[http://forums.diii.net/ Unofficial Forums]}}, but with the difference that every contributor can edit everything, and everyone can see all changes. There are three types of talk pages:<br /> <br /> * '''Article talk pages''' - Just like the talk page for this help page ([[Help talk:Talk]]), they are made to discuss the content and planning on the article they belong to. Everything from minor suggestions from new contributors to advanced pre-planning of entire projects relating to given subject can be discussed. When you &quot;[[Help:Move|move]]&quot; an article, the talk page will follow suit.<br /> * '''User talk pages''' - These pages have another purpose than the article talk pages in that they are just small guest books for each member in the DiabloWiki. The pages are used for general chit-chat or discussing projects. These are as formal or informal as the owner of the talk page prefers.<br /> * '''[[Talk:Community Portal|Community Portal talk page]]''' - The main &quot;board&quot; for over-arching discussions in DiabloWiki. Larger issues go here, similar to some of the ones in the user talk pages. New, old or re-planning. This is the hub for the wiki.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==How to use a Talk Page?==<br /> Talk pages are not complicated at all. It's just a matter of editing, write a message, sign and save. Besides being made in a wiki-format, it's very much like a forum. There are a couple of things to bear in mind though:<br /> <br /> * '''Always sign your comments!''' Just add a &lt;nowiki&gt;--~~~~&lt;/nowiki&gt; at the end of anything you write on a talk page, or click the &quot;Your signature with a time stamp&quot; tool in the formatting toolbar at the top of the edit page. Mind you, don't sign things you write in normal articles!<br /> ** Some people sign on a lower row, some on the same. Either way is fine. Just sign.<br /> * '''New topics on bottom, replies to topics on bottom of topic.''' New topics are placed at the bottom of the talk page, and you reply to others' comments by adding your reply underneath them.<br /> ** New topics deserve a headline. Add &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;==Headline==&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; over your topic.<br /> ** If you are discussing something with diverse sub-topics, you can make sub-headings. These sub headings go on the end of the current discussion (but above older ones further down). Add &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;===Sub-Headline===&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; over your topic.<br /> * Replies should be &quot;indented&quot; to show which comment you are replying to. Use &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;:&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; as the first sign on a row to indent a small level. Use &quot;&lt;nowiki&gt;::&lt;/nowiki&gt;&quot; to indent more, etc etc. This will create a logical &quot;tree&quot; of replies, and you should keep to that.<br /> ** Reply under the previous comment that you want to give your opinion about.<br /> ** If you want to reply to an earlier made comment, make the comment under all other comments, but with only one indent more than than the post replied to.<br /> * Keep a conversation on a specific topic on '''ONE''' talk page, so it's easier to follow.<br /> ** You can also invite your friends to continue the discussion somewhere else, like on the page you are discussing about (example: talk about how to organize headlines on the [[Wizard]], is logical to have on the Wizard talk page rather than a user talk page.<br /> * Generally refrain from asking &quot;support&quot; questions in terms of non-wiki technical troubles as well as gameplay. Use the {{wl|[http://forums.diii.net/ unofficial forum]}} for that.<br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> Obviously, these examples uses one and the same contributor for all comments, and normally there would be quite different contributors, but this is how a talk page can look:<br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:150%; color:white;&quot;&gt;Health Orbs&lt;/span&gt;<br /> ----<br /> Text about [[health orbs]], either how to format it, or what focus to have on the actual article would go here. As an initial post it could be a suggestion or even just a question. Generally refrain from asking support questions. Use the {{wl|[http://forums.diii.net/ unofficial forum]}} for that. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 12:40, 27 August 2008 (CEST)<br /> : In this case the first reply is just a short comment. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 13:35, 27 August 2008 (CEST)<br /> :: The second reply is also a short comment, and contains quite few words as well. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:10, 27 August 2008 (CEST)<br /> ::: The discussion continues and the Health Orb organisation is starting to take form. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:15, 27 August 2008 (CEST)<br /> :::: This is the seventh post, note the time. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 23:19, 27 August 2008 (CEST)<br /> : The fourth reply is not relating to the others, but directly to the original comment. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:49, 27 August 2008 (CEST)<br /> : The fifth reply is also a short one, for the first post. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 21:23, 27 August 2008 (CEST)<br /> :: The sixth one is a reply to the fifth one. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 21:43, 27 August 2008 (CEST)<br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> This would be the text you'd see in the edit window:<br /> <br /> == Health Orbs ==<br /> Text about health orbs, either how to format it, or what focus to have on the actual<br /> article would go here.

Sing in Silence https://diablo2.diablowiki.net/index.php?title=Ethereal&diff=9978 2008-12-07T23:25:57Z

<p>Sing in Silence: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Item_navbox}}<br /> ==Introduction==<br /> <br /> Ethereal Items are found only in the Expansion. &quot;Ethereal&quot; is not a modifier, it's a type of item flag, similar to Superior or Socketed, that can occur on all types of items. Ethereal can occur on normal items, but also magical, Rare, Unique, (but not Set), any type of item in the game that has durability.<br /> <br /> '''Never Ethereal''': Rings, amulets, bows, crossbows, or on the always indestructible Phase Blades ([[../weapons/swords-elite.shtml|Elite Crystal Swords]]), or any Set Items. Unique items that are Indestructible as a special property will not spawn Ethereal either. Sets being never-ethereal is assumed to be a bug.<br /> <br /> Ethereal occurs on about 5% of all weapons and armor. It is both good and bad.<br /> <br /> * The good is that it raises a weapon's damage 50%, and an armor's defense 50%.<br /> * The bad is that it lowers their durability by 45%, and the real kicker, it makes them un-repairable.<br /> <br /> So an Ethereal weapon will potentially have the biggest damage of any weapon in the game, but it wouldn't last long. Armor can be usable indefinitely with Ethereal on it, depending on how often your character gets hit, and the added Defense can help, but very few characters select their armor based on it adding higher defense, and the ones that do are the ones who need higher defense, I.E. they are getting hit a lot.<br /> <br /> Ethereal items are always found with full durability, unlike normal, magical, and rare items. Of course this full durability is about half the normal, but instead of finding say 23/50 Field Plate, the ethereal will have 27/27 when found.<br /> <br /> Ethereal items with charges do not spawn with full charges, and the spells can not be recharged except with a [[Horadric Cube]] recipe.<br /> <br /> Ethereal items calculate the 50% defense or damage increase on the base item, and that is then modified by any mods on the item. This makes for much larger improvements in defense/damage.<br /> <br /> ==Ethereal Appearance==<br /> <br /> Ethereal items on the ground have a dark gray name, just like socketed items. You can't tell a socketed armor, helm, weapon, or shield from an ethereal from the name tag. Obviously if the gray-text item is boots, belt, or gloves, it's going to be Ethereal, since those items can't be socketed. Bliz has considered changing the colors, such as making Ethereal slightly lighter grey, but this hasn't happened yet. Perhaps in v1.10. You can't see any indication that a magical, set, rare, or unique item in Ethereal from the name when on the ground.<br /> <br /> In your inventory Ethereal items are transparent. They have the same colors from affixes as other items, but they'll always be somewhat see-through. You can [[Ethereal Merc| see one here]].<br /> <br /> ==Ethereal Bonus Calculation==<br /> <br /> Prior to v1.09, Ethereal didn't add that big of a bonus, since the 50% was just tacked on at the end. If you had an Ethereal [http://www.diabloii.net/items/armor/armor-excep.shtml Ornate plate] with 440 Defense base, the Ethereal would act like a +50% enhanced defense modifier, and you'd get 220 more defense. Not a bad bonus, but you can get up to +100% on Rares, and +200% with Godly on magical items, and in those cases the bonus from the Ethereal is just a small part of the total defense.<br /> <br /> It worked the same way on weapons, if you had a [http://www.diabloii.net/items/weapons/swords-excep.shtml War Sword], 8-20 Damage, Ethereal would add 50%, or 4-10 damage. If the item were Cruel, adding 300% damage, the ethereal bonus would be just a small portion of the 350% total.<br /> <br /> This was changed in v1.09, so now the Ethereal 50% bonus applies to the item's base stats, and is then modified by any other bonuses. For example: in v1.08, Ethereal just added on like another 50% enhanced damage or defense, so a 200% Godly Ethereal Sacred Plate with 600 base def armor would have been basically 250% defense, so 1800 normal or 2100 Ethereal.<br /> <br /> In v1.09 the 50% Ethereal works on the base, so the 600 would become 900, and then get the 200%, yielding 2700 Def, a 600 defense improvement in this example. The bigger the +%defense or damage bonus on the item the bigger the improvement from Ethereal to normal.<br /> <br /> For a weapon, if you had a War Pike, with a base damage of 33-178, and 300% enhanced damage, it would do 132-712. If this item were Ethereal it would be 49-267 base, and the 300% damage would make it 196-1068. A huge improvement. Of course the problem is that it would only have 13 durability.<br /> <br /> ==Item Durability Loss==<br /> <br /> All types of armor lose durability when you are hit by monsters or other players while wearing the items. Different pieces of armor take durability loss at different rates, as listed below. Armor does not lose durability when you take magical damage.<br /> <br /> The following odds assume you are wearing all types of armor listed. If you do not have a given type of armor on and the game rolls that armor to take the durability loss, you do not lose any durability.<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt; Armor: 23.1%&lt;br /&gt; Shield: 23.1%&lt;br /&gt; Helm: 15.4%&lt;br /&gt; Gloves: 15.4%&lt;br /&gt; Belt: 11.5%&lt;br /&gt; Boots: 11.5% &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Shields lose durability when you block successfully with them. Shields do not lose durability when you Smite with them (your weapon does). If you have no equipped weapon your Smite will not cost you any durability, but it will also be very slow, since weapon speed influences Smite speed.<br /> <br /> Weapons lose durability when you hit things with them, at a rate you are probably quite familiar with from play experience. Weapons also take the durability loss when a Paladin uses Smite. Throwing weapons lose from the stack when you use them for melee, at a reduced rate compared to regular melee weapons (about 1/6th as often).<br /> <br /> If you don't hit anything with your weapon, (as with an orb or staff or wand used by a spell-caster) the item will never lose any durability. So an ethereal orb is just as good as a non-ethereal one.<br /> <br /> ==Merc-wear==<br /> <br /> Ethereal items are best used on your hired [[Mercenaries]], since their equipment never loses any durability. [[images/ethereal-merc.htm|Your Merc]] will enjoy the added defensive boost, or the extra damage, and can use that item forever. And the gear doesn't sell for much, so you aren't missing on a great profit by not selling it instead. Ethereal weapons are very good for mercs, and if you find some nice ethereal unique armor or helm, you can use it until it's down to 1 durability, then put it on your merc where it will remain useful indefinitely.<br /> <br /> ==Selling Ethereals==<br /> <br /> Ethereal ruins the selling price, cutting it by 75% or more. You can still get pretty good gold for ethereal armor or wands/scepters/staves/etc, the really expensive stuff, but not weapons or most types of armor.<br /> <br /> Anything you sell that is ethereal is gone; the NPC merchants will not display it for repurchase, even if they have room in their window.<br /> <br /> ==Self-Repairing==<br /> <br /> An item can get Ethereal as well as one of the self-repairing modifiers, and will last forever if you don't use up the durability quicker than it repairs itself. If you use it up completely, the item will regenerate durability, but will still be unusable. The key is obviously to take it off or wait in town to let it regenerate, if it's getting really low.<br /> <br /> ===Self-Repairing Throwing Items===<br /> <br /> These will refill themselves, but if they go to 0, they are ruined. The counter will refill, but you will not be able to equip them again. Ethereal Titan's Revenge are a popular item, but you'll need at least one spare stack of javelins to switch to when the Ethereal Titans get low.<br /> <br /> All self-regenerating throwing items work the same way, in that they go to 0 and become unusable, even as the stack regenerates. It's just that non-ethereal ones can be repaired (for 1 gold) and all is well. Ethereal ones are broken forever.<br /> <br /> ==Superior Ethereal==<br /> <br /> This is possible, and the Ethereal is calculated after any +durability from Superior. So a 50 durability item with say 12% bonus from Superior would have 56 durability, and that would drop to 31 with Ethereal.<br /> <br /> =Ethereal Items with Charges=<br /> <br /> Neither the item nor the charges on the item can be repaired, so once you've used up all of the spell charges, they are gone forever.<br /> <br /> ==RuneWords==<br /> <br /> Ethereal socketed items used to make a RuneWord will still be Ethereal, with the normal bonus and lower defense, and unrepairable. There are no RuneWords that use Zod in v1.09.<br /> <br /> ==Imbuing Ethereal==<br /> <br /> This is not a good idea, since the Ethereal stays on the item even once it's been made Rare. Unless you are very lucky and hope for a self-repairing mod, or have Zod runes to spare, don't do it.<br /> <br /> ==Socketing==<br /> <br /> You can socket a normal ethereal item, and it will remain ethereal, and gain sockets just as a non-ethereal item would. <br /> <br /> ==Cube Recipes==<br /> <br /> Ethereal swords used in the 3 chippy recipe do not remain Ethereal. Ethereal items used in the 3 perfect gems recipe do not remain Ethereal. They emerge as normal items of their type, no longer ethereal. However this will (of course) reset all of their mods, so you can't do this to de-etherealize something useful.<br /> <br /> ==Crafting==<br /> <br /> Ethereal items that are crafted will become normal items, not remain ethereal.<br /> <br /> The rule of thumb is that anything using a cube (crafting or other recipes) will turn an ethereal item normal, and remove the bonus damage or defense on it. Just imbuing or socketing with Larzuk will leave it ethereal, since there's no cube involved.<br /> <br /> ==The Zod Rune Bug==<br /> <br /> The [[Runes Alphabetical#zod|Zod Rune]] (#33) makes anything you socket it in indestructible. This is the only way to fix an Ethereal item, and as it would retain the damage or defense bonus from being Ethereal, you'd have an indestructible item with higher than normal stats.<br /> <br /> Zod in Ethereal has been bugged several times, and is currently this way again. Inserting a Zod into an Ethereal item with bonus durability will ruin the item, making it drop to 0 durability. However, zod in an etheral item that does not have bonus durability will make the item indestructible.<br /> <br /> For example, The [[Unique Maces#baranarsstar|Baranar's Mace]] has +100 durability, and due to the bug can not be Zod'ed properly. [[Unique Axes#messerschmidtsreaver|Messerschmidt's Reaver]] has +25 durability, and will break if you Zod it. However [[Unique Axes#hellslayer|Hellslayer ]] has no bonus durability, and will therefore become indestructible if you Zod it. The same is true for the [[Unique Body Armor|Unique elite body armor]]; Gladiator's Bane will break if you Zod it, but Arkaine's Valor will become indestructible.<br /> <br /> ==Fixing Ethereal==<br /> <br /> There is no way to make an Ethereal item non-ethereal and retain its original stats, other than using the Zod rune, and it is partially bugged, as the above entry details. You must socket the Zod before the item goes to zero durability. Once it's gone to zero durability there is no way to bring it back, and Zod will not help then. There is nothing else you can do to change an Ethereal without changing the entire item. Adding a socket, personalizing an item, etc has no effect on ethereal.<br /> <br /> ==Iron Golems==<br /> <br /> Ethereal items used to create the Necromancer's Iron Golem look different than normal Iron Golems. The Golem gets bonus stats, and is transparent in the game, much like Ghostly champion monsters. Golems you can see-through are cool.<br /> <br /> ==How Common is Ethereal?==<br /> <br /> Common, but not that common. It's said by Blizzard to be 5% of all item drops, but since it can't occur on various types of items (bows, xbows, jewelry, set items) the actual amount is less than 5% of total item drops. You'll see something Ethereal every game, often several of them a game, but it's only really noticed when you get it on a Rare or Unique. Pre-game there were lots of worries of great Rares being ruined by Ethereal, but this is very seldom an issue. So few Rares happen to have a good combination of mods, especially with Ethereal on them also, that it's just not something to worry about. Ethereal Uniques are much more often a problem, since most Uniques are pretty good now, especially all the Exceptional and Elite ones.<br /> <br /> ==What Does &quot;Ethereal&quot; Mean?==<br /> <br /> To quote the dictionary:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt; 1 a : of or relating to the regions beyond the earth&lt;br /&gt; b : celestial, heavenly&lt;br /&gt; c : unworldly, spiritual&lt;br /&gt; 2 a : lacking material substance : immaterial, intangible &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Not that any of this really matters in the game, it's just a cool word Bliz chose to fit the idea of bonus/no-repair weapons.&lt;br/&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Items]]</div>

Activision has a strong console background, so Ghost may be finished yet.</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:D3-fakebox01.jpg|thumb|250px|Nicely done fake D3 box.]]Whether the next game in the series will be ''Diablo III'' or ''Diablo Online'', it's clear from numerous hints and bits of information that such a game is being worked on by a full design team at Blizzard. No official word has yet been released, but it's widely accepted that a third game in the Diablo series was well underway at Blizzard North by 2003, when massive employee turnover and (rumored) quality problems with the title created major delays. A new team took over the project after Blizzard North was closed in 2005, and work continues at Blizzard Irvine.<br /> <br /> This page compiles all publicly available information about the game, from rumors to official comments and denials, and you are encouraged to read the information here, follow the links, and come to your own conclusions.<br /> <br /> =Timeline=<br /> <br /> A very brief chronological history of important dates in the development of the next ''Diablo ''title.

Numerous Blizzard job openings offer positions on, &quot;the team that designed ''Diablo ''and ''Diablo II''.&quot;<br /> <br /> =The Rumor Mill=<br /> <br /> Aside from numerous small rumors about Diablo III, most of them clearly speculative and hopeful predictions about impending announcement/release dates, there have been a few major rumors, the accuracy of which remains to be determined.<br /> <br /> ==Early Work Trashed==<br /> <br /> [[Image:D3-fakebox02.jpg|thumb|More fake box art.]]It's known and confirmed through private channels (though not officially by Blizzard) that the version of Diablo III the Diablo II team had been working at Blizzard North was dumped and the game's development was essentially began anew, from scratch, in late 2003 after Blizzard North was shut down. Why the new Diablo III team didn't continue on with the initial version of the game is unknown; the new team might have wanted to do their own game, the original version might have been too similar to what WoW became, or too similar to what Diablo II was, or it might not have been very good. That's what Brian Crecente reported &lt;sup&gt;[[#References|2]]&lt;/sup&gt; on Kotaku on August 8, 2005:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> I just got an interesting update about Diablo 3. Rumor has it that the current work on Diablo 3 was canceled and that the game is going to be completely reworked. My tipsters tell me that Blizzard North's work on the game was, to put it kindly, below expectations. While this is mildly disappointing, it's nice to know that Blizzard still so zealously guards their name.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> This news does help paint a broader picture about the closing of Blizzard North. I'm not saying the two incidents are related, but they may be.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Diablo III Takes Place in Heaven==<br /> <br /> The next big rumor about ''Diablo III'' turned up about a year later. As the tale goes, a Blizzard employee named Chris Hartgraves left the company in late 2005, and promptly spilled all he knew about ongoing projects at Blizzard. In an email posted on a World of Warcraft fansite forum&lt;sup&gt; [[#References|1]]&lt;/sup&gt; on October 28, 2005, Chris was quoted saying the following about ''Diablo III'':<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> It is about Diablo 3. Last week they had a thing called &quot;Show N Tell&quot; which they have every 6 months to all the full time employees - Anyways Diablo 3 takes place in heaven. Hell is trying to take it over and it is AWESOME looking ... I magine the brightness of heaven being taken over by the darkness of hell ... Imagine WoW but in a Diablo world in amount of size and playability ... Also, guild housing is available in this game for those of you who know about it. They should have a gameplay demo to show at BlizzCon.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> There was no way to confirm this account of ''Diablo III'', since, contrary to Hartgraves' prediction, the game did not debut at the 2005 [[BlizCon]], and still hasn't made an appearance, more than 2.5 years later. That fact doesn't do much to argue for Hartgraves' claims, and they would be forgotten by now if not for the fact that he also said ''Starcraft II'' was under production long before it was officially announced. He also made several predictions about ''World of Warcraft'' in the same email, and most of them turned out to be accurate.<br /> <br /> Hartgraves' Diablo III comments were echoed, or backed up, by an unnecessarily-obscure post&lt;sup&gt;[[#References|3]]&lt;/sup&gt; GamingSteve.com, on February 3, 2006.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> I don't want to get any of my friends at Blizzard in trouble, so from instead of mentioning &quot;Diablo III&quot; let's call this theoretical game &quot;Beelzebub 3&quot; and instead of &quot;Blizzard&quot; let's call them &quot;Snowstorm&quot;.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;Snowstorm&quot; is indeed working on &quot;Beelzebub 3&quot;. Not only are they working on it, but they have been working on this game for no less than the past four years. In fact, &quot;Snowstorm North&quot; nearly completed the game several years ago, but what they developed just &quot;wasn't fun&quot; and been quietly reworked. This was actually one of the key reasons why Snowstorm North was closed and everyone was relocated to Irvine-based Snowstorm, so that the bigwigs in Irvine could better track and follow the development of Beelzebub 3.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> ...It is true that Beelzebub 3 will be done in true 3D and it did indeed look freaking awesome. It is also true that Beelzebub 3 features a story between the conflicts of Heaven and Hell and contains a very cool feature where every single item in the game can change between a &quot;light&quot; version and a &quot;dark&quot; version. However this was also one of the problems with the original version of the game. Other than the ability for any item to visually change from light to dark it didn't affect the actual stats of the item or change the gameplay in any way. So the game has gone through a total rework to inject some &quot;fun&quot; into the gameplay and to make it feel like the Beelzebubs of old.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> The core gameplay Beelzebub 3 will play pretty much like Beelzebub 1 and 2, but the game world will be much larger and provide a much deeper experience -- many more items, more levels when you go through the game for first time, more skills, more of everything. In addition, the multiplayer aspect will be greatly enhanced from the past installments and don't be surprised to see more than a couple of WoW-based concepts to leak over into the Beelzebub 3 universe ... such as two opposing factions (Alliance and Horde = Heaven and Hell), enhanced guild functionality, and maybe even mounts?!<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> Like the leak from Hartgraves, there's no confirmation of this yet, and it's been more than two years since it was posted. The plot concept, of the game being set in the Heavens, is logical. After all, players descended into the Hells in Act Four of Diablo II, the game world's mythology features numerous battles between the Angels and the Demons, and there's constant interference/assistance from the archangel Tyrael. Most of the other predictions are pretty common sense too; of course the game is fully in 3D, and of course there will be expanded online play, guild housing, faction warfare, and so forth. Those features are all but mandatory in an online RPG these days.<br /> <br /> =Blizzard North Upheavals=<br /> <br /> [[Image:D3-fakebox03.jpg|thumb|250px|Nicely done fake D3 case.]]Blizzard North was founded by the creators of the Diablo series, and they were allowed to remain at their own location in the Bay Area since they felt they could produce better in their home location, rather than down in Irvine with the rest of Blizzard. The studio wasn't a vanity company for the Diablo team, but they remained in the Bay Area and semi-autonomous on the strength of their work, seniority, and clout. When the company's founders left in 2003, that independence was on a death watch.<br /> <br /> ==The Big Four Depart== <br /> <br /> The years of happy existence at Blizzard North came to a sudden end when &quot;the big four,&quot; Blizzard North founders David Brevik, Max Schaefer, and Erich Schaefer, along with Bill Roper, departed in late June, 2003. The first word came in a somewhat [http://www.diabloii.net/pressdesk/030630.php June 30, 2003 shocked press release] from Blizzard that morning. A [http://www.diabloii.net/pressdesk/030630b.php more official announcement] came later that day, as the big four cleaned out their offices and a media circus kicked into high gear.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;I speak for everyone in our company when I say how grateful we are to have had the opportunity to work closely with this group of individuals. Each one of them has made valuable contributions to many of our games, and we would like to thank them for all of their hard work over the years. We wish them nothing but the best and are confident that they will be successful in their future endeavors,&quot; stated Mike Morhaime, Blizzard Entertainment president and co-founder.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;At the same time, we want to convey that Blizzard's success has never been attributable to any one person or small group of individuals, and I am confident that we have the teams in place to continue creating some of the best games in the world.&quot; <br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Blizzard does not believe that these resignations will &lt;u&gt;cause any significant delays or have long-term negative effects on the &quot;Diablo®&quot; series or other projects in development&lt;/u&gt;.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> The last line of that press release was patently ridiculous, since less than two weeks later [http://www.gamespot.com/news/6071481.html?tag=result;title;0 Blizzard announced] a new Blizzard North leader, and slipped in mention (underlined here for empahsis) that the second project they'd been working on was being shelved.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Blizzard has announced that lead programmer Rick Seis will take the position of development team lead for Blizzard North. In his new role, Seis will lead Blizzard North's team of developers, &lt;u&gt;which will be streamlined into one core group to focus their efforts on one key project&lt;/u&gt;. The details of the studio's next project will be announced at a future time.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> That project was never unshelved, and is now assumed to be a forever lost game. No details have ever been released, and the only people who know, Blizzard North employees and some [http://www.diabloii.net/features/v110-play-test.shtml NDA'ed visitors], haven't talked. As for the one project, it was almost certainly Diablo III, and development on it largely ground to a halt during late 2003, when almost the entire team quit, migrating to [[Flagship Studios]] or other game companies in the Bay Area. With progress stagnating, Blizzard North was eventually shuttered and the remaining employees given severance packages or absorbed into Blizzard Irvine in late 2005.<br /> <br /> ==Why The Big Four Quit==<br /> <br /> [[Image:D3-fakebox04.jpg|thumb|250px|Tyrael on mock box art.]]The basic reason the Big Four gave for quitting has remained constant throughout the [http://hellgate.incgamers.com/w/index.php/Hellgate_Archive#Interviews:_Founding_Flagship.2C_Pre-HGL dozens of interviews] they gave in the months after the split. Here's what Bill Roper said about it in late 2003&lt;sup&gt;[[#References|7]]&lt;/sup&gt;.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Actually, we didn't plan on leaving Blizzard, but that's the way things ended up working out. Basically, we were looking for a higher level of involvement concerning the sale of the Vivendi Universal Games unit and felt we had to go as far as tendering our resignations to try and open a direct line of communication with the decision makers in France. It was difficult to plan for our futures, and the futures of our co-workers, and with no long-term compensation or employment contracts in place, we wanted to be able to interact directly with the people making the key decisions that could drastically affect our lives and workplace.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> In the end, Vivendi chose not to make that opportunity available and accepted our resignations over the matter. But going forward, we look at this as a great new opportunity to start all over again doing something we love. Life threw us a curve but, to use a baseball analogy, we're aiming to drive it out of the park. <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> Another major issue various of the Big Four have cited was that they wanted to get back to making games, rather than running a business. There were nearly 50 employees at Blizzard North in early 2003, and due to Blizzard's organization scheme and parent company, communication was difficult and the company heads had to spend far more time than they wanted to spend on management, company business, and other administrative tasks. Bill Roper elaborated on this to IGN&lt;sup&gt;[[#References|8]]&lt;/sup&gt; on October 22, 2003, when talking about their plans with Flagship:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> We want to keep the company a lot smaller. When we left Blizzard North was up to two teams and was part of Blizzard overall. That was a lot of people to interact with and maintain ties with. We ended up getting in to much more management and much less making games. We want to get back to (as close as we can) spending all day every day making games, not figuring out how to keep 50 or 100 or 200 people all happy and working together. That's one of the bigger changes.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> There has always been a great deal of speculation about other possible reasons: did they want to make ''Diablo III ''an MMO but were shot down since ''World of Warcraft ''was going to be Blizzard's MMO? Did they want to make a new game world but weren't allowed to since Diablo was the franchise? Were they lacking in creative freedom as part of a large company that didn't let them make the final decisions on their own title?<br /> <br /> Some or all of these might have been issues, but if so none have been hinted at by the Big Four, and they have been very consistent with the reasons they have given, so it doesn't seem like any controversy is required to explain things.<br /> <br /> ==Blizzard North Shut Down==<br /> <br /> August 1, 2005. &lt;sup&gt;[[#References|5]]&lt;/sup&gt; Gamespot:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;The team behind the enormously popular Diablo franchise--most recently known as Blizzard North, the Bay Area outpost of Irvine, Calif-based Blizzard Entertainment--has been officially shuttered.

That speculation spiked this week when Blizzard posted a job listing for &quot;an experienced Game Designer to help lead the team that designed Diablo and Diablo II.&quot; Besides the requisite experience, Blizzard would like said designer to have &quot;Experience working on RPG titles.&quot; Given that description, the Diablo III theory would seem like a logical conclusion, even though Blizzard won't even acknowledge the game's existence. But given the Diablo series' legendary status, development of a new installment would seem to be an inevitability, if not already an open secret.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> '''Bogus or not bogus?:''' Probably not bogus. <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> In the years since then, many more such openings have been posted, many of them giving every indication that they were for a game in the Diablo series. <br /> <br /> ==Top Secret, Non-MMO?==<br /> [[Image:Icon topsecret.gif|frame]]This issue came to light in mid-2008. Blizzard lists the job openings on their [http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/ Employment Opportunities page] with an icon for the game the job is connected to. Their only announced projects (as of April 2008) are ''Starcraft II ''and ''World of Warcraft''. They have icons for those two games, and another Top Secret icon for other project(s). The interesting part is that of the 25 or so Top Secret jobs, roughly half mention Diablo II, and the other half mention &quot;Next Gen MMO. Yet '''none''' of those listings say both &quot;Diablo II&quot; and &quot;Next Gen MMO.&quot;<br /> <br /> For example, here's a typical Diablo series job listing: <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> [http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/designer-lead-3d-level.html Lead 3D Level Designer]<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> The team behind Diablo I and II is looking for a skilled lead 3D level designer with experience building levels using Maya or other similar 3D level building tools.

For instance, when the Blizzard North exodus began in mid-2003, several key members of the Diablo II team formed Castaway Entertainment. One of the founders, Stefen Scandizzo, said the following [http://castawayentertainment.com/about.html in his company bio], with an underline for emphasis.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> Stefan joined Blizzard Entertainment in 1998 as a level designer. While at Blizzard, he developed key functional elements for ''Diablo II''’s random maze generation and also created much of the dungeon layouts using both his artistic and programming skills. He continued his level designing in ''Diablo II''’s expansion: ''Lord of Destruction''. &lt;u&gt;In 2000, Stefan started producing 3D monsters for the character team for an unannounced upcoming sequel&lt;/u&gt;. Stefan worked for Blizzard for five years.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> This same point was made by Michio Okamura's biography when he left Blizzard North to co-found [http://www.hyborealgames.com/ Hyboreal Games] in December 2005; his bio was similar to Stefan's, in that it initially said his work at Blizzard North was on an &quot;unannounced sequel,&quot; before the wording was changed to &quot;unannounced project.&quot; Given that the only games Blizzard North ever released were in the Diablo series, and that we now know Warcraft and Starcraft games were being worked on by teams at Blizzard Irvine, it's pretty clear that the only other possible game world to set a sequel in was the world of Diablo.<br /> <br /> ==2005: Blizzard Centralizes Operations==<br /> <br /> On August 1, 2005, shortly after shuttering Blizzard North, Blizzard issued a press release hyping the event.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;We're looking forward to having our PC development teams together in Irvine,&quot; stated Mike Morhaime, president and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. &quot;In addition to improving our efficiency as a company, the relocation also represents an opportunity for all of our teams to have regular, direct input on each other's projects.&quot;<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Blizzard does not believe that these changes will cause significant delays on any of its projects in development. The company released its subscription-based massively multi-player online role-playing game, World of Warcraft, at the end of 2004 and is continuing work on StarCraft: Ghost, its upcoming tactical-action console game set in the award-winning StarCraft universe. Plans for future products will be revealed at a later date.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> Optimism about faster progress aside, ''Warcraft III ''wasn't a great success, ''Starcraft Ghost ''was delayed, reworked, then put on indefinite hold, there's still no word about the project(s) that were underway at Blizzard North since 2001, and ''Starcraft II ''wasn't announced until late 2007. With that record, it's safe to say that if ''World of Warcraft ''hadn't become the most profitable video game in history, things would be pretty bleak around the Irvine offices.<br /> <br /> ==2005: Rick Seis Bails Out==<br /> <br /> Rick Seis was named the new head of Blizzard North and project lead on their unannounced project in July 2003, shortly after the turmoil kicked off by the departures of the &quot;big four.&quot; Rick remained with Blizzard North until the offices were closed and work on '''Diablo III'' was halted in mid-2005. He left Blizzard rather than move down to Irvine, and joined over a dozen other ex-Blizzard North employees [http://castawayentertainment.com/news.html at Castaway Entertainment].<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> REDWOOD CITY, CA – September 6, 2005 - Castaway Entertainment is proud to announce that former Blizzard North studio lead Rick Seis has accepted the position of Technical Director and lead programmer for their current unannounced project.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> There were many possible reasons the head of Blizzard North's version of ''Diablo III'' might not have wanted to continue heading up the project in Irvine, but few of them were encouraging for fans who hoped to see the game released sooner rather than later.<br /> <br /> ==2005: More Blizzard North Departures==<br /> <br /> Many other long time Diablo team members left the company in the wake of Blizzard North's closure. Most joined Flagship Studios or Castaway Entertainment, but a few others struck out on their own. Eric Sexton, Michio Okamura, and Steven Woo [http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:Is-Xf09jwv4J:www.hyboreal.com/press/112805.pdf+hyboreal+games+Michio+Okamura&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;cd=4&amp;gl=us&amp;client=firefox-a formed Hyboreal Games]:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> San Carlos, CA (10/31/2005) – Hyboreal Games announced today its formation as a new development studio dedicated to creating blockbuster video and computer games. The company is establishing a new best-selling game franchise by applying the proven formula of mass accessibility, addictive game play and longevity through re-playability. Hyboreal Games was founded by Eric Sexton, Michio Okamura and Steven Woo, all industry veterans and former developers for Blizzard North where their contributions were essential to the success of the highly acclaimed Diablo franchise which has sold well over 13 million copies worldwide. <br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2005: ''Diablo III ''Soundtrack Recorded?==<br /> <br /> On April 27, 2005, a musician from the Czech Republic mailed fansite Diabloii.net to report that he'd recently been [http://www.diabloii.net/newsupdates/archive/arc9.php involved in a recording session] for the Diablo III music. <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> I am musician in Czech Republic. I play not with one orchestra but with many depending on work. I have recently been to Bratislava in Slovak Republic for recording sessions with local Radio Symphony Orchestra, where we just recorded music for Diablo 3.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> I did not find the people from Blizzard in the studio, but composer (Uleman?) was there and conductor was named Kirk Trevor, I think he is from England but he conducts in Bratislava much and also in some other cities in Czech Republic like Zlin.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> The music is again, like in Diablo 2 expansion, very much based on Wagner. In Diablo 2 expansion there are many plases in Act 5 that take directly from Wagners opera &quot;Tristan and Isolde&quot;. This time for Diablo 3 there was music similar to Wagner operas &quot;Lohengrin&quot; and also &quot;Siegfried&quot; from Ring cycle. But this is not so bad that he takes from these things, almost all movie composers borow Wagner music, like Williams for Star Wars and others like Nino Rota who made music for Fellini's films.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> So now when Diablo 3 is finished I must buy, maybe I will hear all my mistakes (I play percussion instruments).<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> This news could not be confirmed, but the musician signed his real name, he had a Czech email address, and some searching through the Diablo II credits revealed that the music for that game was recorded with the same symphony in the same location.<br /> <br /> ==2005: D3 at Blizzcon Rumors==<br /> <br /> Wild rumors about the supposed content of Diablo III leak out shortly before the first Blizzcon in October 2005. See [[#Diablo_III_Takes_Place_in_Heaven|the Rumor Mill section of this page]] for full details. As of April 2008 These rumors remain unconfirmed and undenied. The source of the rumors was correct about some details of ''World of Warcraft ''and ''Starcraft II'', but also claimed that ''Diablo III'' would debut at Blizzcon in 2005; a prediction that is now 2.5 years off. And counting.<br /> <br /> ==2006: Diablo III Team Job Openings==<br /> <br /> February 2, 2006. Blizzard's jobs page has so many positions to join the Diablo team that [http://www.gamespot.com/news/6143594.html Gamespot runs a rumor report] on the likelihood of ''Diablo III'' being underway. See the [[#Blizzard_Job_Openings|Blizzard Job Openings]] section of this page for more details.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2006: Blizzard Working on Multiple Games for Multiple Platforms==<br /> May 11, 2006. Blizzard COO [http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/worldofwarcraftexp1/news.html?sid=6150919 Paul Sams tells Gamespot] that the company is working on several unannounced titles in a variety of game worlds.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> When asked by GameSpot if the Warcraft universe was all that's left for the company to mine, chief operating officer Paul Sams said, &quot;No. Absolutely not. We have multiple games in development, currently, they are just not announced...to the outside world--and the reality of it is--we are laser focused on what is the thing right then, but there's a ton of additional focus being put toward these other [games] that are in development.&quot;<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Reflecting on the existing franchises, Sams emphasized, &quot;World of Warcraft and the Warcraft franchise is not the last and the only franchise we are going to operate within. We have two other very, very key franchises to our company's history and to our company's future success. The Diablo and Starcraft franchises are of the utmost importance to us as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new franchise from us at some time in the future; there's certainly a desire to do so.&quot;<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> A PR rep later expanded on Sams' statement, clarifying that not only were there &quot;multiple games&quot; in development, but that Blizzard was considering &quot;multiple platforms&quot; for those titles. The spokesperson confirmed that the company was looking at both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but that a decision as to which platform might get the nod had not been made.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> Since this time ''Starcraft II'' was announced, in development for the PC.<br /> <br /> ==2006: All Future Blizzard Games to be MMOs?==<br /> <br /> June 14, 2006. Confusion briefly reigned after after media coverage of a Vivendi Games presentation reported that all future Blizzard games would be MMOs, thanks to the massive success of wow. Official refutation came via Blizzard's forums. <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> I believe this was a misquote. We haven't announced any specific development plans beyond the upcoming expansion for ''World of Warcraft'', and we don't have any intentions to focus on only one genre or platform with our future games.<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2006: Diablo Novelist Drops Hints==<br /> <br /> October 26, 2006. Fansite BlizzPlanet [http://www.blizzplanet.com/content/601/ posted an interview] with [[Richard Knaak]], author of some of the [[Diablo novels]], in which he dropped some pretty unequivocal hints that work continued on the Diablo seris.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> '''Question:''' How much of the book is creation of yours, and how involved is Chris Metzen behind the canon storyline of ''Diablo: The Sin War Trilogy''? Do you think the ramifications of this book impact in the storyline of ''Diablo 3'' the game?<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> '''Knaak:''' This is a pure collaboration between myself and Chris Metzen/Blizzard. All that is written is passed by him and the others there. This will be canon and has adjusted earlier info. The ramifications here will be used for any future project ... and I ain't writing for a dead game. :)<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> '''Question:''' So ... Diablo 3?<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> '''Knaak:''' I am not writing for a dead world ... but a world with dead. 'nuff said!&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2007: Flagship Studios Community Day==<br /> <br /> Flagship Studios held their first community day event on May 17, 2007. ''Hellgate: London'' information was covered by an NDA, but Diablo II discussions were not, and hellgate.incgamers.com and diabloii.net contributor Flux attended the event (and visited Flagship Studios several [http://hellgate.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2310&amp;cat=513 other times] during 2006-2007) and [http://hellgate.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2312&amp;cat=513 caught up] with [http://hellgate.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2311&amp;cat=513 numerous] Blizzard North [http://hellgate.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1646&amp;si=community-day-2007 founders] and employees he'd known since he started covering ''Diablo II ''back in 1998. Exact details of what they'd left behind when they departed from Blizzard North were off the record, but Flux was assured by several Blizzard North employees that a good amount of work had been done on ''Diablo III'' by the time the big four departed in June 2003, and that the project had been kicked back almost to the drawing board once nearly the entire Diablo II team left the company after Blizzard North was closed in 2005.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==2007: Third Ongoing Project Confirmed==<br /> <br /> On July 13, 2007, Blizzard VP of Product Development Frank Pearce spoke to Gamasutra about the company's third team and their unannounced project.&lt;sup&gt;[[#References|9]]&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;Our global headcount is 2,700,&quot; said Pearce, &quot;And most of that is customer service for World of Warcraft! In terms of development staff it’s probably around 350. World of Warcraft is about 135 people, 40 for Starcraft II, 40 for team 3, our cinematics team is about 85 guys. Then there’s sound and Q/A and that sort of thing.&quot;<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> When pressed for details regarding the new project, Pearce was cagey. &quot;Team 3 is working on something really awesome. I can’t give you any hints, but it’s totally awesome.&quot;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==2007: Diablo Franchise will be continued==<br /> <br /> In a video interview with IGN posted on August 5, 2007, Blizzard VP of Business Operations Paul Sams spoke about the future of their various gaming franchises, including Diablo:&lt;sup&gt;[[#References|10]]&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;Diablo ... well, it is obviously a very important franchise to us. And I would say, that as with Starcraft and Warcraft, we will certainly get back to it at some point. We are focusing currently on World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King and content associated with World of Warcraft and Starcraft II. We do have some other things in development, and we are not ready to talking about it yet, but what I can say is that we do love that franchise. And its something that we will get to revisit at some point.&quot;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> =Domain Names and Trademarks=<br /> <br /> Blizzard Entertainment owns numerous trademarks and domain names for games in their empire. These do not necessarily mean anything, especially not in the short term; they bought Starcraft2.com before Starcraft was even released. But they do give some indication that the company has an ongoing interest in developing more games in their various game worlds.<br /> <br /> ==Domain Names==<br /> <br /> A partial and growing list of Blizzard/Vivendi owned domain names and the dates they were registered.<br /> <br /> * Diablo2.fr<br /> * Diablo3.eu<br /> * Diablo3.es<br /> * Diablo3.de<br /> * Diablo3.fr<br /> * Diablo4.fr<br /> <br /> ==Trademarks==<br /> <br /> '''Diablo II: Salvation''' was a title Blizzard registered in 2000, as a title for a movie or video game.
