Diablo 3 Petition: What’s your view?

We all had an idea of what game was being announced in Paris and it turned out to be Diablo 3, now after everyone has had time to look at the game it seems that many gamers are not happy.

With a Diablo 3 Petition started this week and thousands of signatures to back it, what’s your view on Diablo 3 and the Petition?

The reason so many gamers joined the Petition was because of disappointment that the Diablo fans are feeling, they are not happy with the artistic direction of Diablo III.

The Petition wants to show Blizzard how many fans are unhappy with the current art style of the game, they do not like the Cartoonist art direction, obviously influenced by the Warcraft universe, Diablo isn’t Warcraft.

Fans are looking for an independent and renewed artistic direction, not a recycled art direction taken from the Warcraft world, Diablo never was meant to be as cartoon’ish as Warcraft, they shall have independent and distinct styles, this isn’t.

Let us know how you feel about Diablo 3, do you like its artistic style and have you signed the Diablo 3 Petition in protest?

Diablo 3 Debut Gameplay Teaser Trailers and artwork

A few days ago we spoke about the rumors that were surrounding Blizzard and about the rumors surrounding Diablo 3. Well it looks as though all those rumors which started of from a Splash Screen were in fact true. It seems as if Diablo 3 is coming and those guys over at Game Trailers have gone made and are treating us to a huge amount of content to wet our appetite.

The new game is going to be massive, which is why Game Trailers are giving us a huge amount of debut gameplay teaser trailers, as well as some cool looking artwork. There seems to be something for everyone, here is a list of just some of the gameplay teaser trailers and artworks that you can watch.

Debut Artwork Trailer , Here you can Enter Diablo 3’s fantastic gallery. Barbarian Cleave Gameplay, When the odds are stacked against you, this powerful strike is your equalizer.

These are just a sample of all the latest trailers and videos from the new Diablo 3 game from Blizzard, and more are being added all the time.

Diablo 3 is Coming: Blizzard splash screen and fans connection

All Blizzard fans can think about is rumors that Diablo 3 will be announced this weekend, the reason for such rumors is on the Blizzard home page. It seems that they keep changing their Splash Screen. This weekend sees the starts of Blizzard’s 2008 Worldwide Invitational, which is being kicked off in Paris, France; it is assumed that they will host the official unveiling of Diablo III.

As yet there is no official information on this, so why does 1Up believe that this will happen. Well they have mentioned how Starcraft II was unveiled at the Invitational in Seoul, South Korea last year, and it is with that evidence that Diablo 3 could be unveiled this weekend. 1Up, believes in this so much that they have decided to give us five reasons why they assume that Diablo III will launch at the weekend.

Firstly we have that Blizzard teaser splash screen image, many thought that is was most likely for Wrath of the Lich King, it seems that there is no conclusive proof that it is for that game. DiabloFans has been doing a spot of detective work, and they have discovered a number of interesting facts. When you look closely at the image that was visible in the ice, you could clearly make out a ruin that resembled a Hel Rune from Diablo II.

However it seems that there was yet another update to the image yesterday, and you can make out a rune resembling the Akilae Tribe symbol from Starcraft II. It seems that Blizzard is really playing with our heads right now. It seems that there will be a couple more runs showing up today and Friday, so expect to be confused further.

So do you think that Diablo 3 will show up at Blizzard’s 2008 over the weekend?

WoW Release Today: World of Warcraft Season 4 Arena Gear

Some games are big and then others are just extremely massive, World of Warcraft falls under the second category and although it was launched back in November 2004, it is still the biggest MMORPG when we look at monthly subscribers. Today will see the launch of World of Warcraft Season 4 Arena Gear; this has been a Tuesday that many online gamers have been waiting for.

Blizzard have been focusing hard on the new expansion and in doing so they did make a mistake in our opinion with the new season 4 armor. This is what one blog said about the new armor and World of Warcraft season 4 “I’ve been waiting for this to happen, and it finally has. WoW’s season 4 arena gear is out this Tuesday. This also means that season 2 gear is now available for honor. So anyone thinking about buying a welfare epic soon, it would be best for you to wait until Tuesday.

Apparently, the new season 4 armors looks are a bit lackluster, but that’s not really the point of the armor anyway. The stats are where it all is. I heard that all sets of the same type will look the same, I.E. all clothies will look the same, rogues and druids will look the same, shamans and hunters will look the same, and paladins and warriors will all look the same”.

Would this really bother you in today’s update and if not why?

The mad dash to a rating of 2200 will begin today and are you ready for it? Even if you aren’t the arena type, today can still give you good things in the form of Gold and profit.

Avocado Entertainment’s Closed Beta Test of WindSlayer MMORPG

Avocado Entertainment (CEO: Sungjoon KIM, www.avocado-inc.om) is planning a second Closed Beta Test of a 2D horizontal scroll type casual game called WindSlayer, which is being developed by Avocado Entertainment for worldwide game users.

In WindSlayer, you will travel within a beautiful land called ‘Beaurinatia’ to become the finest/strongest adventurer. The interesting story and speedy actions will attract/peak any gamer’s curiosity. In addition, the various key handling will stimulate a gamer’s fingertips. For example, when hunting a monster in a PvP zone called the ‘Battle field’, a gamer will need to develop their own unique and accurate keyboard controls, as well as various combinations to gain the appropriate techniques in order to successfully fight off their enemies.

Like arcade games, the basic skills are present, including as power attacks, non-power attacks, double jumps and the use of defend keys are present in WindSlayer. Besides the uncommon skill for a causal MMORPG, ‘catch and push’ can be found within the game. This ‘catch and push’ skill leaves your enemies in a defenseless state within at closed distances. Also, the rhythmical combination of the basic skills like power and non-power attacks can make for stronger combo attacks. A gamer can enjoy more interesting playing techniques by using such skills at lower levels when monster hunting or when facing PvP combats.

While the characters job can be determined at level 10, a gamer at a level 5 or higher can enter the PvP zone ‘Battle Field’, by following the pop-up instructions by pressing the ‘F’ key on the character. This encourages a gamer’s participation within the PvP zone to utilize the WindSlayer features, such as the various actions and controls available.

A gamer with different game tastes can choose from three (3) various types of PvP modes within the Battle Field. (1) A gamer can play with other players who have a similar skill level in a ‘limited level’ mode, where the gap between the player levels is limited. (2) Anyone can join the ‘unlimited level’ mode regardless of their skill level. (3) In the ‘equalization’ mode, the levels and stats of all gamers are equalized to level 40.

In addition, there is the option of completing a quest. Team matches and cute characters can be introduced as well as some additional features found within WindSlayer. A match system consists of team matches, death matches, stealing flags, etc. and supports up to 10 on 10 matches. The backgrounds and characters are designed like animation. There are about 250 various quests available within the game.

A high level gamer can also help a beginner through the ‘mentoring system’, which is a reinforcement community of MMORPG, on how to best play the game. The gamers making relationships within the ‘mentoring system’ will get rewarded by bonuses for being a part of this system.

A gamer is to choose one of six (6) jobs with gorgeous accessories to choose from for their character at level 10 for hunting, but can also complete their character with their own uniqueness and skill. Moreover, a gamer can make a ‘relationship’ with close friends and help others experience all the elements and fun found within the game.

For more information about global client downloads and other related information, please refer to the official WindSlayer global website (windslayer.net) or KIPA’s global service platform, Game and Game (gamengame.com).

Solution for Age of Conan error code 103: Update did not complete

A huge number of Age of Conan gamers were not very happy recently, as they were receiving error code 103: Update did not complete. Well it does seem as if there is a solution for this error, but that fix in itself has been causing headaches for some Age of Conan gamers. Many have not been able to get the fix to work properly, so one member from the Age of Conan forum has posted a guide to this fix.

Here is his guide to getting the fix for Age of Conan error code 103, it started with him getting failed with error 302. Here is what his answer was “So I deleted the RDB/RDBHashIndex.bin , and re-run AoC and it went and got it again, then it started patching.”

He then added “Check your patcher.log (should be in root folder of AoC) and open it in WordPad and go all the way to the bottom and see what file caused the patcher to hang and delete it before running the updater.”

So keeping it simple you need to go to your AoC Root folder, go to RDB Folder and delete the following file: RDBHashIndex.bin. You then need to run the patch again; this should then solve the problem.

It seems as if some people are still having a little trouble, one guy deleted the wrong file, and he now has to wait another 15 hours to download a 15.3 gig file. Just remember to take your time, as you do not want to make the same mistake as the person did above.

Door Game is predictably irrational: Flash game is causing a stir on internet

Not too sure if any of you have heard of the little flash game called “Door Game” but I will tell you about it anyway. This game is causing a massive stir on the internet as we speak at the moment and this is why you should know about it.

The object of the game is to basically score points by clicking open doors and then clicking on the goodies (Rewards) which are behind them. The strategy of the game all depends on you and you must choose between three doors and pick the best one that holds the best reward, but be careful because switching between doors has its price, oh yes you have 50 allotted clicks to open the new door.

The best thing to do is play the Door Game which is predictably irrational; this is a flash game with a difference. Please do let us know if you have played this game and what you think of it?
