Bashiok on Fury and the joys of forum moderation

Posted 15th Jun 2009 10:19 PM by Flux

Bashiok has returned for a third day (days one and two were formidable) to the Barbarian’s Fury thread, and added one more tidbit to his previous revelations.

Blizzard Quote:

Can you reveal which ability it is that costs more than 1 globe? And how many globes does it cost?

Bashiok: No, and nope.

They’re now called fury orbs though, so let’s stick with that.


In a non-game revelation, Bashiok enjoys laying down some forum mod pwnage (yes, we can see your IP#s) on a nub.

Blizzard Quote:
Thewitcher/Blackstarting/Ultra01, posting on different accounts to reinforce your own statements is considered trolling. When you return please be willing to stand behind what you say without having to resort to creating fictitious supporters. Thanks!

Fury orbs just as I suggested, muahahahaha! I’m the most powerful user on diii.net! (spirit of Highland3r, leave this body raspberry)
But seriously, what’s the point of knowing the costs of abilities right now? They’re likely to change anyway, and the abilities themselves aren’t even final…

I’m going to go ahead and stick with fury balls. It just sounds more barbaric.

Fury globes or fury orbs then.

But hey.. we just can’t have “fury balls”

“And the mighty and virile barbarian closed in to the minions of hell, his great and long “sword” raised up high from the sight of his gruesome foes.. he then drew power and courage from his (fury) _Balls_ and “sprayed” death unto the forces of evil”... wink

@ Mikeztarp - I used ‘orbs’ too so it was meeeee, me I tell you!  I never liked globes - I would remind me of “show us your globes.  ooo err misses” whenever I read it.

As for moderation, we even have a rule in our 10 Commandments on that very subject such was the prevelance of it.

(People who talk to themselves used to be burned at the stake as witches; we still hold to that belief system, here at DiabloII.Net wink

“Orbs” may be the shorter and thus more logical word, but I find it pretty awkward to type. It’s like my left hand is doing all the work and I find some of the key press transitions, like b -> s, just horribly unnatural.

“Balls” is easier to type, at least if you’re using one of those curved/ergonomical keyboards.

No, I’m not very serious and yes, this post is useless, but I’ll keep saying “balls” just the same.

Fury balls!

Hahahahaa!! Wow that crass and juvenile moron got completely owned being called out like that by Bash; that whole thread was completely ridiculous.

Oh man so hilarious just how badly he got burned.  TY for posting it, made my day smile
