You might have read through the Diablo 3 Basics page and every single article, interview and panel in the Media Coverage Archive, but you will still find that there are so many things that Blizzard have not said about Diablo 3 yet. We could give all this information out if we just had the right question to ask Blizzard…
Are you at all interested in getting your questions through to the D3 Team? We have started an “Ask Blizzard” thread in the Diablo 3 forum, and we want your ponderings, opinions and questions!
Bookmark this link, and whenever you get a brilliant question to bring forward to Blizzard, share it with us!
We have updated the main pages of both the Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 to be slightly easier to navigate, and also easier to update. We hope you like it, and you can improve it by posting suggestions of what wiki links we should add on the two front pages for easier navigation. You can post in this news item, or on the wiki “talk pages” (D3, D2). In addition, they both got updated with new Featured Articles, and you should take the time to read everything there is about the Wizard Skill Trees (Conjuring, Arcane, Storm)! You should also take the opportunity to to read up on the mysterious Horadric Cube with magic recipes to make crafted items, as it likely won’t appear in the same shape in Diablo 3.
In the Diablo 3 wiki, there are updates on the Skill Runes, Character Attributes, Undead, Animal, Demon and Object type monsters. Other updates include the massive Media Coverage, a new Multiplayer article, the Prime Evils, King Leoric, Basics, Diablo, Sanctuary, “Reroll”, Barbarian, Pablo DeSoto, Adria and the popular Other classes article among a lot of other new additions.
If you are in the least interested in helping out in the Diablo 3 wiki (that also handles the lore), you can now access some of the original lore material from the Diablo Manuals, which are transcribed so that YOU can help making lore entries! Check out the Diablo I Manual and Diablo I: Hellfire Manual. The Diablo 2 ones will come up very soon. In addition to using the content, don’t be afraid to edit in links to other wiki pages from the manuals. It’s all part of easier navigation!
The Diablo 1 & 2 Wiki has also received several new contributions from DiabloWiki members. The continued work to get the Prefixes and Suffixes is progressing fine and more lore is added to the wiki. You can see changes everywhere, such as monster pages like the Goatman, Leaper, Scarab Demon, Saber Cat, Giant Mosquito, Tentacle Beast, Thorned Hulk and Mummy.
The Strategy section is growing slowly, and as categorization of the Diablo2Wiki is improving, you’ll find several more that are already added to the Amazon class (and other classes). The most recently added strategies to the wiki are “Clvl 99 in Record Time”, “Flux’s Javazon Guide”, “Muling Guide”, and “Premium Bow Comparison”.
A big thanks to Bandreus, Zero80, Shayagor, Widus, Perplex, Mizantrop, Pubrulz, Wisdomseeker and Solomir, who have spent time in making the best Diablo source on the net even better for all you who read this. Don’t be selfish, make sure to join in and help make DiabloWiki even more packed with D3 stats and Diablo Universe lore! Even 15 minutes of your time a week will make a difference!
(Azymn, Melianor, where are you?

I’ve just done the draw for the latest Pal Giveway (a little later than expected) and the winner is Furyan who wins himself a smart official Diablo III T-shirt. These aren’t on sale anywhere so they’re particularly rare. Well done to him and keep your eyes peeled for the next giveaway for site subscribers.
Update: The chat went well, with over 200 fans asking questions of 4 staff members and 1 volunteer, all of whom got some play time at BlizzCon. We typed non-stop for more than an hour and a half, answered about 70 questions, and didn’t get through anywhere near all that were asked. If you missed it… you’re in luck. Just click the Cover It Live window below and read the full transcript.
With so much interest in this one, we’re going to run these chats on a regular basis (and at a variety of times, so EU readers don’t have to stay up all night), and will post times and details soon.
On the back of the recent indepth play reports by Flux and other various Blizzcon reports we’ve written there is to be a Diablo 3 Q&A session held on Live Chat. As the name suggests this will be an opportunity to ask questions of those who have been lucky enough to play Diablo 3 and speak with devs.
We invite all site visitors to the chat Q&A which will begin at 7pm PST on this Wednesday (5th Nov). You do not need to be a site member or chat room member, you simply click on the chat window on this very page which we will post in a news item on Wednesday. If you have questions about the chat please leave them in the comments (after the jump). Thanks.
I have continued a bit in Flux’s efforts to bring back a lot of the information that was available on Diabloii.net back in the day, and also repaired links so that any old links pointing at them will be redirected to where the content is located today. The following five (quite massive) entries are now available on DiabloWiki.net:
For the Diablo 3 content updates, the big news is that we just added perhaps one of the most important entries, Diablo. DiabloWiki contributor Azymn has just started the Diablo article and with the first basic info it’s a great start for the rest of us to fill it up.
If you are at all interested in the backstory and lore of the Diablo Universe, the new Books section is a great source of the books written in Sanctuary (an article that has also received updates) and is growing by the day. This is not to be confused with the actual novels, such as the Sin War Trilogy.
Other important updates in the Diablo 3 section of DiabloWiki includes:
During the last week we have seen a big number of updates on DiabloWiki, helping to make it the number one Diablo source for Diablo 1, Diablo 2 or Diablo 3. You can be of great help by just adding images, or helping to polish the language. Small edits are greatly appreciated and if you help out even more you could make a name for yourself in the Diablo community! Credit to the following users for updates over the last few days. Azymn, Shayagor, Melianor, Mouseman, Elmer92413, Widus, Solomir, UnknownCosmoS, CampbellSoup, Bandreus, Hemlock and HegemonKhan. Thanks you guys, a Wiki is a community effort that everyone has use for!
We’re going to commence a new feature—weekly D3 community podcasts—in the immediate future. Podcast veteran Kym is going to handle the production and recording, but he’s looking for some co-hosts. We’re also planning to feature regular conversations with forum members and newsmakers on various issues about D3 and the community, so if you’ve got some ideas or would like to help out, short of actually co-hosting, speak up. We hope to eventually feature some conversations with Blizzard employees, but first we’ve got to walk before we can run (or teleport).
Check this forum thread for Kym’s initial post about the Podcast. He’ll be watching it and getting in touch with anyone who is interested, so reply there if you’re interested or have ideas, or you can PM him directly if you prefer.
Please be patient.
Regards,
The Diabloii.net/Diii.net Team
A quick heads-up that we have changed a couple of URLs for our Diablo 3 BlizzCon coverage which has come about due to CMS changes. The BlizzCon Index page can now be found here and the BlizzCon Live blog on this page, Make sure you have those bookmarked!
As usual you can expect some great BlizzCon coverage here on Diii.Net, watch out for our video interviews, panel videos, articles, analysis and more throughout the show. We’ll also be kicking up our Live Blog direct from the show floor in time for the opening ceremony on Friday morning. If you’re not going to BlizzCon and want to join in the fun, make sure you bookmark the Blizzcon 2008 Live Blog which we’ll be getting underway around 10:30AM. The blog will be available across the network and our experts will be bringing you their opinions on the announcements/news as it happens.
We’re now packing up to fly out to BlizzCon from the UK and US members of the IncGamers sites will be joining us on Wednesday night. Keep your eyes on the site, it’s going to be an exciting week!
