Diablo Drought

D3nick: /* Listing of ''Diablo Droughts'' */

The '''Diablo Drought''' is a community name for a period of time in which very little new information is released by the [[D3 Team|Diablo III team]]. These periods may also include a lack of communication from the Diablo CM, [[Bashiok]].

It has been noted that ''Diablo Droughts'' have led to increased bickering among fans on the official Diablo III forums.

* '''[[BlizzCon 2008]]''' - '''present''' (10/2008 - 02/2009) :(

==Additional Information==
It's easy to see when information has been plentiful and lacking by looking at the [[Media Coverage]] of Diablo 3.

D3nick: /* More Updates */

==Category==
The work on the [[Official Diablo 3 Website]] is of excellent quality! And you added older updates as well, so I say it's brilliant! =) The pictures go very well with it, and they look symmetrical. I am most impressed for such a new wiki editor ;)

One thing though, you're not assigning it to any [[Category]]! You can probably figure out a good category for that page if you take a look at the [[Help:Structure]] page for a sec. I can think of 3 categories it would fit good in. Do you think you can figure those out? =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 16:22, 12 December 2008 (CET)

:Thanks, and sorry about that, I've slotted the page into what I think it best is classified under. --[[User:D3nick|D3nick]] 16:10, 12 December 2008 (EST)

:: Hehe, no need to apologize at all! =) We're all here to help, and none can come to a new wiki and know all the little quirks they have, regardless of previous experience! Did the above structure link make any sense to you? =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 12:55, 16 December 2008 (CET)

::: Yep, I figured out where my new articles should be going. I'll be following that closely as I add more. As for this article, I'll keep it updated and slot it in any new categories as necessary. --[[User:D3nick|D3nick]] 1:01, 17 December 2008 (EST)

:::: Cool! You might want to note the fact that it was a HUUUGE Diablo Drought for the last 5 years before June! ;) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:28, 19 December 2008 (CET)

==More Updates==
Hello! I have been seeing some great additions by you in the last month or so, that's really great! =) One thing I just though of for the [[Official Diablo 3 Website]] (btw, I made [[Diablo3.com]] a redirect to that page) is to link to the Diii.net news item that reported on the update. You don't have to link older ones if you can't be arsed to find them, but newer ones. What do you think? =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:17, 12 January 2009 (CET)
:Hello again, I've been trying to keep up with this stuff, but school has been at the top of the list lately... As for including a list of links referring to the news item that announced the page updates, I'll go back and add that stuff when I have some time. Thanks for the suggestion! --[[User:D3Nick|D3Nick]] 21:94, 16 January 2009 (EST)

Arreat Crater

D3nick:

[[Image:arreat_crater.jpg|Arreat Crater...|thumb]]
'''Arreat Crater''' is what remains of [[Mount Arreat]]. It was created approximately twenty years ago when [[Tyrael]] destroyed the [[Worldstone]] to prevent [[Baal]] from corrupting it. It is a smoldering ruin of fire and rock located to the west of the mountains of The [[Dreadlands]], and north of [[Bastions Keep]].

== Events Regarding Arreat Crater ==

Not much is currently known about the events surrounding '''Arreat Crater''', however, it is thought to be of major importance in [[Diablo 3]]. It is depicted in the [[Cinematic Teaser]], as well as on the [[Official Diablo 3 Website]] world map.

Soulstone

2008-12-16T04:14:33Z

D3nick:

[[Image:soulstone.jpg|Diablo's soulstone on the Hellforge...|300px|thumb]]
A '''soulstone''' is a magical artifact in the Diablo universe which is used to contain the souls of the three prime evils. The heroes of [[Diablo 2]] were tasked with destroying two of three of these magical artifacts, while the whereabouts of the last is unknown.

Each soulstone belonged to a specific prime evil:
:* [[Diablo]], Lord of Terror - Red
:* [[Mephisto]], Lord of Hatred - Blue
:* [[Baal]], Lord of Destruction - Yellow (this soulstone was damaged and its largest fragment could not contain Baal entirely)

== History of the Soulstones ==

The '''soulstones''' were created under the direction of [[Archangel Tyrael]]. They are thought to have originated from [[The Worldstone]], which was deep within [[Mount Arreat]], which was destroyed by [[Tyrael]] to prevent Baal's corruption of it from bringing any further evil to the world of [[Sanctuary]]. The explosion created by [[The Worldstone]] destroyed [[Mount Arreat]], leaving [[Arreat Crater]] in its wake.

== Scattering of the Soulstones ==

The [[Horadrim]] were charged with keeping the '''soulstones''' after they had successfully captured the three prime evils. They took them to three different locations within [[Sanctuary]], in order to isolate one prime evil in the event that he should escape.

[[Mephisto]]'s soulstone was taken to a [[Zakarum]] temple in Kurast. Mephisto was able to take control of his '''soulstone''', which eventually led to the corruption of the uppermost ranks in the priesthood of the Zakarum.

[[Diablo]]'s soulstone was taken to the [[Horadric]] monastery in [[Tristram]]. The monastery was abandoned when the Horadrim who, having no quests left to undertake, faded into legend. The '''soulstone''' was rediscovered by [[Lazerus]] - a high priest of the [[Zakarum]] - and awoke [[Diablo]]. It is thought that [[Diablo]]s awakening was indirectly caused by Mephisto.

[[Baal]]'s soulstone was taken to the depths of a desert temple in Lut Gholein. Baal damaged his soulstone before he was imprisoned, and thus the largest fragment was not adequate to contain him. [[Tal Rasha]] offered himself as an extension of the damaged '''soulstone''', and Baal was contained. He was later freed by his brother, [[Diablo]] (The [[Dark Wanderer]]), who was accompanied by Marius. Marius held Baal's '''soulstone''' until Baal later retook it.

Tyrael

2008-12-12T21:59:13Z

D3nick:

[[Image:Tyreal_bare.jpg|Tyrael|thumb|300px|right]]
'''Tyrael''' is an [[Archangel]] and a member of the Angiris Council, who defied heaven in order to teach the [[Horadrim]] how to seal the [[Prime Evils]]' souls into [[soulstone]]s, thereby trapping them for eternity. He was captured by [[Baal]] after he failed to stop [[Diablo]] releasing Baal but was eventually freed by the adventurers of [[Diablo II]]. He returned to the adventurers in the [[Pandemonium Fortress]], the last bastion before [[Hell]], to offer some assistance.

When it was clear that Baal had permanently corrupted the [[World Stone]], Tyrael decided that the only thing he could do to protect Sanctuary was to destroy it. The destruction left [[Mount Arreat]] as nothing more than a crater, and dealt a devastating blow to the [[Barbarian]] tribes, who saw it as their life duty to protect the World Stone.

Tyrael has been missing for the last 20 years, and nobody has heard anything about him.

D3nick: /* Diablo Drought */

==Diablo Drought==
Hello D3nick. I did laugh a little at [[Diablo Drought]], it's funny and tragic at the same time. We all want more info about Diablo, and it IS like a Drought, hehe! I think it was a great initiative to make the article, and I hope you don't mind me editing it a little to fit the Wiki style and form. =) Is this your first edit to a wiki? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 12:35, 8 December 2008 (CET)

: Got your message =) You seem to have picked up on a lot of details already, and you're able to sign posts as well, something most people miss the first time =) The only thing I can think of is that we usually reply on the same talk page as the original post, so you reply to messages to you here =) Also, we generally leave messages at the bottom of the page. You can always leave me a little message like "I replied on my talk page", so I get a message from the wiki when logging on.
:
:Anyway, I also saw your [[gold]] update and it looks super so far =) We can possibly add a little more, from bits and pieces here and there, but not much more at the time being. Are you interested in lore at all btw? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 10:29, 10 December 2008 (CET)

:: Right... I wasn't sure the convention about replying, so I guess I'll just learn as I go lol... About lore, I am interested, actually, and I want to help out with this stuff I think rather than sit around and wait for D3 to come out... That way the time might pass faster, hopefully. I also noticed a lot of repeated material/pages here that have pages in the Diablo 2 wiki. Is there a way to interconnect or redirect between the two wiki's? Or are we stuck copy and pasting? --[[User:D3nick|D3nick]] 11:48, 10 December 2008 (EST)

==Redirecting to the Diablo 2 wiki==
This page (along with others) practically mirrors content in the Diablo 2 wiki. Temporarily, I've pasted in content from the D2 wiki, because the page was blank after I attempted to redirect to it.

Anyone figure out a way to do this?

Mount Arreat

D3nick:

It is said that when the world was very young the tribes of the Northern Steppes were given a sacred charge. Somewhere deep within the great mountain, Arreat, lies a source of great power, crucial to the well being of all humanity. The tribes act as guardians of this artifact, and through this sacred duty, have shaped their way of life in observance of this power.

Gold

2008-12-09T03:58:00Z

D3nick:

'''Gold''' will be currency of all [[NPC]] merchant transactions in [[Diablo 3]], and is promised to have value in the player economy. It is more than likely it will be required to purchase new [[items]], to [[repair]] damaged equipment, and to obtain other necessities. Gold is readily available; [[monsters]] drop it constantly, it falls in showers from [[chest]]s of all types, and loose piles of it can be found scattered about the ground in various dungeons.

The developers have noted '''Gold''' will have increased value and importance in [[Diablo 3]] in comparison to [[Diablo 2]].

This article is a stub, and you are free to continue writing about gold to help the rest of the community!

==Welcome==
Feel free to leave a message =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:16, 21 August 2008 (CEST)

==RE: Diablo Droughts==
Hey Leord, I got your message. It is my first time editing this wiki (I edit various work related ones, but they're much different) so if I did something wrong, or forgot to include something let me know. I did see the editing help page, but it was blank, so I figured I didn't have many constraints to work within. In regards to [[Diablo Drought]]s, I was extremely bored while studying so I decided to coin a term for the [frustrating] lack of news we've seen the past couple months. I find myself refreshing diii.net about 10-15 times a day :(

Cheers, and thanks for the corrections.

==Signing posts==
Hi Leord: I got your message but I am not sure about the best way to answer to you. In fact, editing this post is the only way I could think of. How do you make sure there is a new message tag that pops up on your account when I send you a message? Anyways, yes I am currently trying to update the prefixes and suffixes data on diabloII wiki. I am not that experienced with Wiki (I work trial and error mostly) but I have been playing Diablo for 5 years so I know the game pretty well now. (unsigned: 08:33, 26 August 2008 [[User_talk:Widus|Widus]])

: Cool! Well, take a look at this talk page, this is basically how to do it. Just remember to sign your posts on talk pages, to make it easier to see who posted =) Just make any edit on my talk page, and I'll get a small notification next time I log in to the wiki. To reply, just use ":" in front of the text, like I did here, and make a new headline for new topics. Make new headlines on top. We can keep discussions on one page, instead of flip-flopping here and there, and I assume my talk page will become quite busy, so lots of interesting things will be dealt with here ^^ I must say that you seem to be doing fine, and the prefixes and suffixes are important parts of Diablo, so great Kudos to you! Feel free to come back here and ask me for anything, small or big, I'm here to help =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

:: Great. Thanks! [[User_talk:Widus|Widus]] (11:51, 28 August 2008)

==Question about signatures and Diablo III fact page==

Hello Leord!

Should I sign every page I edit? I understand signing the user pages and so on, but lots of times the edit can be only a small one and I don't want to take credit for it by signing the whole page. Could you clear this one up for me? When should I use signatures?

Also, is there a Diablo III fact page yet? The kind of page which collects all the interesting facts about the game: release date, number of acts, playable character classes, game engine and so on. Not an in-depth article, just a quick "fact sheet" so people won't have to search all those little pieces of information all by themselves across the wiki. As the [http://www.boomtown.net/en_uk/articles/art.view.php?id=16571 recent boomtown article] tells us there's going to be four acts and confirmes once again that there's five character classes, it might be enough to start such a "fact page", especially when the news are that the barbarian is the only recurring character class. --[[User:Mouseman|Mouseman]] 08:41, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

: Hi Mouseman. You should only sign talk page edits. As for any other page, they would be cluttered with signs everywhere, and we're doing this as a communal project, so everyone's edits (that are not vandalism) are welcome and appreciated.

: The fact sheet is a great idea, and while we don't have one, I'd post it in the news even if you did something out of the [[Fact Sheet]]. I think we have the official sheet laying about, I know Flux mentioned it in the news recently, might be in the [http://www.diii.net/articles/ Diii.net articles section]... Something to start from, and add to. Probably not that advanced, and the Boomtown article might be some cheat sheet help as well. =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

== Minor Edits? ==

Hi Leord,<br/>
Question for you: does flagging an edit as minor yield some advantage when dealing with the revision history? What is the threshold for determining whether an edit is a minor change (i.e. is there a convention or is it mostly for typos)?<br/>
--[[User:Azymn|Azymn]] 08:29, 23 August 2008 (CEST)

: Good question! We currently do not have a convention for it, and the main reasoning is to be able to hide it in the [[Special:Recent Changes|Recent Changes]]. So, for right now, please do check it if it's minor, but if you don't, it's no biggie. I'd say that typo changes, or changing a word in a sentence to make it easier to understand is placed as "minor". =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 14:37, 26 August 2008 (CEST)

== Horodric Cube ==

Hi Leord. You left a coment on [http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/index.php?title=User_talk:Nickshanks my talk page] but I can't recall what changes i made (they are not listed in the page history!). I wrote a Mac OS X editor for D2 characters. And sometimes actually play the game. Is there anything you specifically need help with? [[User:Nickshanks|Nickshanks]] 12:00, 17 September 2008 (CEST)

== Class and Skill formats ==

Hi Leord, good to see you on the liveblog the other day. About the character/skill pages: now that we have a bit more info on characters and skills, I was thinking to rewrite the character screens and skill lists so they're more consistent, and hopefully present the data we have now a little better. I figured I'd wait a few weeks for all the new info to trickle in before doing this, but wanted to run it by you to see if that approach is too drastic or if you (or Flux or Elly) have a strong idea of how you want them laid out. I planned to make some temporary pages for preview purposes. Thoughts?<br /> -- [[User:Azymn|Azymn]] 05:16, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

: That sounds awesome! I know they need reworking, and never be afraid of playing a bit with the wiki. I recommend making test pages on your profile page. Just do it like this: [[User:Azymn/Barbarian_skills]], and we can discuss it there as well. Make sure to poke me, in case I miss the updates in the recent changes page. --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:07, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

==Message==
Hi, Leord. You left me a message somehow. I'm still getting used to using this here wikithing. I'm glad you liked my edit in the jewels section. Some of that looked like it was written by a 7-year-old, but I felt like it'd have been too much effort to fix up properly. --[[User:Doctorjorts|Doctorjorts]] 17:51, 3 October 2008 (CST)
: Ok, do you mean it's too much mess to fix at all, or just that it was a bit bad? --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 18:18, 14 October 2008 (CEST)

==NPCs page linkup and greetings==

Hi again Leord! The NPCs page isn't linked properly in the main page pull-down menu. I don't know how to forward pages so I was wondering if you could do it? So the category:Npcs page should be forwarded to category:NPCs.

I was kind of bummed that you didn't mention me in the main page news when you thanked people's effor on the wiki ;) Did you forget me so soon? :) Well, anyway, I try to polish the [[NPCs]] page yet again and do an edit about Adria the witch today. Probably will be inactive after that for a while, though. Keep up the good work!!--[[User:Mouseman|Mouseman]] 09:41, 25 October 2008 (CEST)

: Thanks Mouseman! I fixed that, and you can look in the [[Help:Redirect]] page for help on how to do that in the future. I'm really more interested in fixing the actual menu links than making redirects, but they are usually good as well, so thanks for being so astute! =)

: I blame the wiki for not crediting you, as it only shows some 500 edits max in the recent changes. ;) I only said thanks to the last week or so worth of contribs, but I added you to a "friends" list of mine, so I haven't forgotten about you! You're still one of the best contribs ;)

: Even if you don't have time to bring in contributions, try to take the time to check your messages (or mine), and post suggestions and opinions on the [[Talk:DiabloWiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal talk page]]. Even if you don't personally do big things all the time, it does help others to feel the wiki is alive =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 11:53, 27 October 2008 (CET)

==Message==
Hola Leord! How's it going? I hope that everything is well :D

This wiki is very nice/informative and should be the bible for the Diablo series. I'll be checking stuff out and correct spelling/add info or fix stuff...I like to lurk :p I think that this wiki is headed the right way and people are helping out a lot to fill it in.
--[[User:Shayagor|Shayagor]] 17:19, 25 October 2008 (CEST)

:"Like to lurk" huh? =) I understand if you don't have time to do bigger things, but just crawling around pages and adding your opinions to discussions like the [[Talk:DiabloWiki:Community_Portal|Community Portal]], messages here, or on individual pages for pages. It really helps to make the wiki feel more alive, even if you mainly help with the polish, such as spelling and numbers. =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 12:06, 27 October 2008 (CET)

==Tal Rasha==
Leord, thank you for your compliments on my Tal Rasha article. I am new at this so thanks for editing it with links and categories. I appreciate it. I am quite interested in Diablo lore. I will probably do a few more of the pages that the main page of the wiki lists as wanted. Thanks for the help. --[[User:Centipede_t|Centipede_t]] 11:18, 10 November 2008
: Made the reply on your page, just in case you missed it =) --[[User:Leord|Leord]] 17:12, 11 November 2008 (CET)

Diablo Drought

2008-12-08T01:54:55Z

D3nick: diablo fans are impatient

== '''Diablo Drought''' ==

A period of time in which very little new information is released by the Diablo III team. These periods may also include a lack of communication from the Diablo CM, [[Bashiok]].

Below is a listing of ''Diablo Droughts'':

* '''BlizzCon''' - '''present''' (Mid-October - Mid-December)

It has been noted that ''Diablo Droughts'' have led to increased bickering among fans on the official Diablo III forums.
