new patch picture analysis thread

[Rekoc]

A few things I notice are:
1. Some times the party will have 1 aura while another lone person has a different one.
2.in one of the pictures the sin is at the top of the picture looking like she is teleing to the other side.
3.From the way they look, they are using most of the same stuff we use in this patch. Archon fortitude/faith matri bow for the zon, archon enigma/hoto for the palading, possible enigma/wiz for the sin.
4.The zon is ON TOP of dclone in one of the pictures. It may be just me...but since when can a bowzon tank dclone?

There are several Lily pics with corpses about to be exploded, with the mush visible on other pics. DS does 40-80% of corpse life, and the amount of life of the corpse is known [assume they're all level 90, which equals 5068 life for a 100% hp monster]. You can deduct how much life she has! [not counting fire and physical resist, but the assassin has multiple death sentry traps, which is redundant for CE, so she's using them for damage, and the pally isn't running conviction, so she's definitely not 95% resistant to elemental damage. Also Blizzard is NOT going to put in 95% physical resist. 50%/50% or 50%/75% phys/elem would be likely]

How can you tell they are death sentrys? Light traps are all the same. Also, if you look well, lilith allways have full life in all pics, so they seem to be using every kind of skill to try to damage her.
Lilith resistance is pure speculation, you can't see that in pictures.

Why is the barb casting battle command and warcry? BC is only +1 skill level so nobody uses it and it doesn't really affect a battle, while warcry does crap damage and is used mainly for stun, but you can't stun bosses. Perhaps there is added weapon damage in 1.11, like with blade sentinel and fury in 1.10? Perhaps BC now gives more than +1 skill level?

Well... sorry but I have to say it: this is a bunch of none-sense. How can you see some pics and criticize how the "actors" play?

We should concentrate on the white spots on some pics, it's the only strange things I can see. Also succubi on act1 maps? Where is the cain cage?

Anyway, we will have to wait to see with our own eyes. Almost everything said here is pure speculation and within the proper time we will see the changes.

1. Some times the party will have 1 aura while another lone person has a different one.

Auras are still active but only one shows at a time. Auras rotate and the difference between auras displayed has to do with time/distance they were casted on some players. Also if someone has more or less auras active at the same time, it takes longer to rotate thought all. Holy freeze for instance, only one player can use it, is not shared to the rest of the party.

first of all, i can't believe this is going to hit 20 pages. secondly, i can't believe it's 20 pages of "it's deth sentry" "no it's corpse explosion" "nah it's grim ward."

My two cents? There's no way they will add an entirely new area. they don't do that with patches. Ever. Also, Lilith is in the Towers or the crypts/Mausoleum. About the succubi? In 1.10 Act 5 is blanketed with out of place critters. Why not do it for other regions in hell also? You guys are reaching waaay too far on this. This is just a patch, not a freakin' expansion pack.

 

[Vakarrona]

We are entretaing ourselfs from the tedious, hacked, cheated, beated, lhamed, tired, old? 1.10 patch!

Not the corpsemourn discussion again! Exploded corpses + lightning from traps - nearby necro == 99% chance that DS is being used.

Well... sorry but I have to say it: this is a bunch of none-sense. How can you see some pics and criticize how the "actors" play?

Because one doesn't typically use random skills for no reason. The fact that the barb uses warcry on Lilith means he isn't doing it for the 100-something damage, and not for the stun that doesn't work on bosses, but for some other reason.

I won't speculate about the exact reason, but the other characters do seem to be using 'good' skills for the situation [eg. amazon using freezing arrow and not multishot, pally using salvation and not vigor] so why would the barb [with IK set and WW, mind you] use something entirely pointless?

Especially considering this screenshot shows nothing except Lilith, a barb and a warcry and there has to be a reason they posted this 'useless' screenshot in the first place.

-> Warcry has been changed in 'some' way.

Now for some CONTENT.

The white dot mystery is solved The white dots and the 'skeleton' are the first frame of the exparrowexplode.dcc animation.

This anim is used for exploding arrow, meteor, fireball, vampirefireball, 'distraction start' and 'distraction end' [missiles probably used for the azn's early Lure skill], imp fireball, 'imp spawn monsters' [huh?], 'exploding javelin' [one of those weird unused elemental javelin missiles], dragon tail, fists of fire, phoenix strike, armageddon AND DIABLOGEDDON.

Sorry.

Its getting to be this many pages because of posts like yours and this one here

 

[XorcistXorcist]

I don't see a necro in 3&4 but somebody is definitely using corpse explode either from charges or Lilith uses it.

The assassin is using Death Sentry, which shoots lightning and explodes corpses.

And you definately wouldn't be the first person to say that. Or the 41st for that matter. Read the rest of the thread please :thumbsup:


As for the aura questions. Maybe they will be brining back aura flashing? That would explain why peeps have different aura's.

Just an idea.

My guess is that Lilith will be added to an underground level, with an entrance possibly implimented where the mausoleum used to be in Diablo I

If you'll notice, it looks like the room where Lilith is standing only has one entrance and one exit. You can't see the entire room, though, and in the last screenshot where the barb is soloing, near the bottom of the screen you'll notice a very narrow passageway. Possibly where some loot is hidden?

The only place I can think of that has only one entrance and exit, and uses the skin that the room Lilith is in, is where the Countess is located. The Countess may also be being replaced with Lilith, seeing as how the concept behind each character goes hand in hand.

(The Countess slaughtered the rogues, and in some cultures Lilith is loosely translated into a night demon that kills children and pregnant women)

It looks to me as if the paladin is flashing between concentration, and salvation for resistances (you can still do this in 1.10, it's just not as effective as in 1.09.)

I also happened to notice that the amazon is infact attacking lilith (you can see the red life leach swirl around here in several screenshots), so is the barbarian, as you can tell from the swinging animation he's in in nearly all of the screenshots, and you can also see blessed hammers in a couple of the screenshots, yet in every screenshot Lilith seems to be at or very near full health. Yikes...

The Assassin is also using a strangely colored dull orange armor. Maybe it's just the lighting, though, but this could perhaps be a hint of a new unique armor?

Another thought on salvation is that one of the mercenaries is using it (either naturally or granted from an item), since it seems to be on some of the characters when the mercenaries are alive, but isn't there when the mercenaries aren't around.

Just a few simple observations.

lilith imo has to be a world event

she cant be just another quest monster or something thrown somewhere

But she has to be spawned different because where the barb is soloing is near an exit, and it looks as though it is in the tower. And I don't think he would lure her all the way down there?

i think she spawns there in the middle of the star shaped fire

more info on Lilith

I was cruzing around the Arreat Summit looking to see if I could find any more info on the new Demon but couldn't see anything. Then I decided to type her name in where Diablo clones is in the browser address, and hey presto I got a page - but it disappeared a few minutes later - but I got the screenshots to prove it and the cool animations she does. Just like Andy though but still cool - oh darn I forgot to save the page and her animated gif oh well... enjoy what I was able to grab.

He was probably running for his life. His allies are nowhere to be seen, he's poisoned, and he's desperately trying to stun her.

It's really hard to believe they'd make a page with that many grammatical and spelling mistakes. Which makes it much more likely it's a pshop.

again guys just a warning to keep the spam outta this thread and to stay on topic...just in case you don't know what that is, take a look at the title of the thread..."new patch picture analysis thread"

aragorn has been asked to take a look at the crap that is being posted here

now.....the above is very interesting...if the animation has so many uses it is strange that nobody picked up on it even rtb was stumped...the "imp spawn monsters" or the sin skills listed may be the most logical choices....what is your source for this info brother laz?

Because you normally have only 1/25th of a second to see this part of the explosion. The most logical choice is Diablogeddon btw. His source: The .mpq files.
