new patch picture analysis thread

well it still looks like the tower in the black marsh to me thou.
It COULD be a new area looking alot like it.

the more I think of it the more things I can come up with.
watch the movies and learn I'dd say.
the whole classic - lod story coming together
classic - d2 ended with cain giving key to tyrael OH NO WAIT! its diablo!! cain died.
lod - nothing said, diablo beaten, now we have his brother baal on our hands.
no?
 
Road to hell is paved with good intentions and a lot of rumors...

D2 Classic ends with Marius giving the soulstone to "Tyrael" who turns out to be Baal. Cain is nowhere in the picture and Diablo is dead by the time we see Marius hand over the soulstone.

On to the D pics...


In 111-ss03 you can see balls of fire with no tail. They also seem to be flying out in a regular, circular pattern. This means that they are coming from Volcano as opposed to Armageddon, which D Clone does not have. In fact, in looking closer I can see the mound of rock raised by Volcano right under D's feet. I was ready to say that they have either changed D Clone or created a new version, but why would it be under D if he had cast it? Let the speculation on weapons with charges of volcano or god knows what else start flying.

In http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/screenshots/111-ss03.shtml, right at the top just by Diablo's life bar, there is a druid. This would explain the white lights (Spirit of Barbs). Also, Doom has CTC Volcano...

if he was using a spike wouldn't it be raised above his head?
pic 4 and 5 are the only ones that could show the pally using a weapon but it is just too dark to see

Of course, he could be carrying something heavy with +str charms...
 
Ok I think it is safe to assume that the corpse explosion is coming from the Assasin's traps, the Barb is not wearing corpsemourn, there is no druid in any pictures, but there is a volcano, and someone is using open wounds (not a new aura).

Someone mentioned something about the paladin using a fire resist aura. He is not. That is the barb's shout...look more closely.

Someone said there is a druid by D's lifebar, that is an amazon, look closer.

And for some commentary on the 1v1 barb vs. lilith picture. Would it not make sense that the barb was running along minding his own business when Hazzah!, he ran straight into her boobies, (keep in mind he has exp in his bar in this pic), and she poisoned him. He is now taking massive dmg from the poison and has some exp. At this point we can infer that he screamed "oh **** i need help" thus everyone else came running right before he died, losing his exp. There was probably alot of moving around done throughout the course of the night which explains the change of scenery. And lastly, i know this is not a speculation thread but honestly everyone is entitled to and we are just adding to the discussion.
 
I don't know if you guys noticed or not ... but the 4 screens noted at battle.net are not the only screens available ...

Sorry if this was pointed out already. Please ignore this post if it's already common knowledge.
 
I don't think this Diablo will be as powerful as Diablo Clone, I see his Gheddon in many pics, but I also see mercs in many of the pics. Either they really, really souped up those mercs, or this Tristram Diablo is weaker than Diablo Clone, because even a merc that has better gear than most players falters pretty quickly before the anni dropping fiend (thanks to the boss summoning/hireling penalty...perhaps that's removed/lessened).

As does Destruction, and perhaps one of the new items/runewords gives it as well.
 
I don't think that the UD we see in Tristram is supposed to be green, naturally; I believe that he is actually poisoned, and someone had a long poison duration, and got a screenie of it. But you never know. But by the look of the pictures, that's not a green-spawn color. Poison an enemy, and you'll see what I mean. Or put an emerald in a sword. Or something like that.
 
Did neone take into consideration the volcanoe could be from a doom weapon that one of the mercs could be useing seeing how you could use that runeword in a polearms and it is quite strong
 
Both of you who just posted, this was already said several times in the thread, read through some of it before posting already made speculations.
 
pally in pics

Cannon Fodder said:
I've been looking closer at the Pally, trying to figure out what purpose he is serving. In the pics he is always facing D, which suggests that he is casting something on D and has not simply run away from him. But as far as ranged pally attacks go, there is pretty much only holy bolt, hammer, and FoH. Strange that we never see any of them. The other strange thing is that I've looked pretty closely and I can't see a weapon in the pally's hand. he could be using a wiz spike and I just can't see it, but I'm pretty sure there's nothing there. Anyone else notice this?

the pally was using hammers agaisnt lilith. but during the battle against diablo...he wasnt doin anything...maybe the pics were taken when he didnt cast his hammers. i dont kno. also look at pic ss-05..a pic of liliths fight. at the top of the screen it shows a CE. BUT. there are no death sentries casted. also barb has full IK so we see that he cannot have courpsemourn on to cast CE. no1 is using bonehew either. in the same pic, ss-05, you see a scubbi. it says in the d2X booklet that many believed that they were whiped out during the battles under tristram. maybe this is a screenshot of underground tristram.
 
My turn :)

http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/screenshots/111-ss01.shtml

Poisoned DiabloClone with Armageddon active, and one missile of his LBoD, but he's in the wrong animation for that. That's the casting animation for Armageddon/Firewall/Prison. HeWith the Clone surrounded like that, it's likely that he'll just fire attacks and don't move. And that's definatly OW on either the mercs or the amazon. The cold puff is problably from the merc with Salvation aura, or the IK barb.

The barb is using full IK, and in a whirl, but the 1.10 whirl animation is not shown and the skill icons are not red.

http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/screenshots/111-ss05.shtml
Definatly his Firestorm attack that making the screenshot look so full of fire.

http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/screenshots/lilith-ss01.shtml
Seems to be one of the Countess' Cellars.

Freezing Arrow, and it shows that Lilith is immune to chill.

http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2/screenshots/lilith-ss05.shtml
I'd say she spawns Succubi. And there's at least one Death Sentry active.
 
RTB the master helps out again ;)
A note though is that on the picture when the barb is whirling the potions are red.
 
Found a post made by an employee at blizzard:

"Will you help save the sanctuary _again_?"

Meaning we have already saved it once at least.. Dunno how this helps anything though ;D
