new patch picture analysis thread

OMGOMG! IT'S OBVIOUS NOW! Okay hear me out! You have to "save the sanctuary once again" right? Hello! You are in Tristram, D1 takes place in Tristram and included a explorable monastary. The patch will allow you to revisit the monastary and save it again, hence Lilith taking it over and Diablo guarding the entrance! And the reason Cain isn't there is because he could be kidnapped or even the Tristram map just gets updated after you save him. Either way this totally makes sense now!

Seems to be that ring of fire doesn't split up like it used to. Stays a solid wall.

What is slightly disturbing is, as has already been mentioned, Lilith ISNT TAKING ANY DAMAGE!!!
and if you look at the amount of used up sentries on the floor, looks like she is almost completely elementally immune (and cant be frozen).
another wierd thing, most of the chars fighting lilith are standing in the fire of the pentagon for a substantial part of the duration of the fight, and yet dont seem to take damage. this agrees with what others have said, this is probably done in a mode where they cant really die, they just want to show what she can do...
cant wait to face her!

About cain's cage: It's not there if you enter a game where the quest is done, right?
About barb's mana: He'd have plenty of mana with BO, and we don't know how long it is between pics, and he may have damage to mana like a smart IK barb.
Why do some people think this is a new diablo? Three versions of Diablo? It has to be to show how hard Lilith is.
Also, a new patch has never introduced a new area, I don't know if it's possible. The Chinese text says something about searching every area for her. Why can't it be the tower?

When it's still close to Diablo it is solid. It splits up further the further you get away from it.

You'll also notice the Full Rejuvs in the barb's potion belt. It's probably that Lilith's doing _some_ damage to them and they drink a Full Rejuv now and then, but not enough to empty the potion belt. Since he's using full IK, we know he has 4 belt rows, so he could be drinking them.

The cage may have been removed for this part of... whatever, or maybe it disappears when this DC comes out. Plus, if it wasn't Tristram, the well wouldn't be there. Oh, man, I HATED that quest in D1!(the poisoned well one, I liked the undead swarm on level 3 more
)http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/screenshots/111-ss01.shtml
Screeny 1.
Look at the belt, why is it all red around the full rejuvs?
For comparison:

I believe that simply means that some spell is cast that disables any use of belt for a short amount of time, maybe teleport?
I'm not sure though, but I remember this happening to me a few times.

i would assume it is the ww...on another pic it is obvious that lilith has cannot be frozen...yet the zon is using fa(she uses this against the diablo demon too)....now this doesn't make much sense...even with next delay a zon strafing(her secondary skill) at 9/2 (or 8/2)with a faith gmb will do more damage than a fa....unless she a/r bug on fa has been fixed and she is using a 7 or 8 frame fa(nice a/r boost) attack because it is hitting more often5Ws said:
superdave said:
Or maybe she's just a well-balanced zon who can kill physical immunes and cold immunes :uhhuh:
And yes, WW locks the belt and equipment.
And I said before, I'm pretty sure the cage isn't there if you enter a game where the quest is done.
And really, do some of you think that's not Dclone?

hi i may be new here and i knw u all need help from druids. lets talk bout ss02 as we can all c armagedon was casted long ago. i knw every one wonders about the volcano. I believe it doesn't come from D. u c, in ss04, D prepares for a spell, in ss03 D is still preparing and the volcano appears in ss03, there for it would be impossible for D to cast volcano. but one thing i wonder, the volcano disappeared very quickly. it only appeared in ss03 and from wat i knw volcano last for at least 5 seconds and D doesn't take 5 seconds to cast a spell!!. The volcano appeared in the middle of D's fire circle preperation. it last for 1 sec at most!!. but like everyone say, its a new patch. it might be a new place. and the 2 red glow in ss02. it could be a party spell thingy

I am willing to bet that DC is there purely for difficulty comparison with Lilith. Look at the photos and you will see they are the same characters (with the possibly missing Asn in Tristram) fighting both. While these characters are whipping the hell outta DC they aren't doing diddly squat to Lilith. The only thing stopping me from saying this for certain is the quesion of DC spawning. He appears in place of the first super unique you come to in a game and you cannot get to Tristram without going past Rakanishu, unless Rakanishu was already dead when they spawned DC of course.
Another possibility is a demonstration of the "party skills" some people have mentioned in the hundreds of posts I have read today, this might explain why the Paladin is using Salvation which is one of the most infrequently used auras there is and the other characters show different auras in use at the same time...I was under the impression that everyone's auras cycled at the same rate so that everyone should be showing the same aura. Maybe it is an attempt at doing something about those lazy players with a slvl 10 aura (or Warcry) overriding an slvl 20 one, albeit briefly.
EDIT: BTW I think the Volcano can be put to rest. It's already been said, but maybe it needs saying again. One of the mercs is more than likely equipped with a Doom polearm (which may account for the chilled succubus in one of the s/s too) which has a 5% ctc lvl 18 Volcano.

You seem really dismissive about the fact that the barb could be wearing corpsemourn.. if it is death sentry then why is that vile lancer thing's body (next to the assa) still intact and its not a splattered corpse?
Personally i think that lilth will appear randomly anywhere in the game and drop exclusive or high ilvl items or something, a bit like DC but it appears automatically and randomly ie. no sojs sold
If u ask me its DEFINATELY not just another boss bcoz it would be too much like andy
Oh and one last thing, whoever said it can't be in the catacombs becuase of the vile lancer which doesnt spawn there, needs to consider that the death witch thing that is seen in one of the shots only spawns in act5 so maybe lilth can summon much harder versions of any monster on the game, possibly resurrecting them from corpses like a necro would. Maybe to promote the corpse explosion and death sentry spells which arent used much.
Im not spendin any more time on it now im just gonna wait and see;
Tell me wot u think of my ideas
