Tyrael is MOVING!

Posted 11th Dec 2008 11:54 AM by Leord

This could be an indicator of upcoming content additions or just a small graphics update but the “wings” of Tyrael on the official Diablo 3 site have transformed from elegant white “tentacles” to fiery, smoky tendrils. Seeing as how the Diablo 3 logo got some pulsating smoke emanating from behind it, it could very well just be a web graphics update, but it’s still interesting to speculate if it’s “just” that or possibly a major change coming up…

This is how it looked before:

So, what do you think? Web update or a sign that we’ll get new info soon?

DiabloWiki.Net contributor D3nick also made a new entry in DiabloWiki for the official site, that we’ll be updating with more changes in the future: Official Diablo 3 Website

He lists the following things to have changed:

  • Tyrael now has vastly improved glowing wings.
  • An ambient sound was added to the main page.
  • The navigation bar now emits a red fog/mist from the main Diablo 3 logo.
  • A loading bar appears above the selected language indicating completion progress for that page’s navigation bar.


You can join the discussion in new Diii.net member crimson’s thread about the official page changes.

Thanks Collateral Damage and crimson for the tip!

He’s smoking, in preparation for bursting into flame and falling from the Heavens down through the Tristram Cathedral?

Interesting, could we be closer to the Diablo 3 Release Date than some think?

I mean, it will come after SC2, but I guess StarCraft 2 Release Date is soon as well

How, why, assigning meaning to it… to me, the upgraded graphic speaks for itself

Oki, speaks for itself? What do you mean, what does it say to you that I can’t hear? =)

Blizzard knows that people analyze every detail when it comes to d2 so in my opinion they wouldn’t do something without having something backing it. At least a possible clue as to tyreals role in the game?

Hmmm I wonder if he has an upturned sword or cross on his chest…. he only need to get of that dang d3 logo!
I don’t think Tyrael’s evil, (yes I’m obsessed with this!) I think it’s Imperius… it has to be, if not he has to be in the game! But if it’s not then imagine this… the game comes out…. I’m expecting Imperius, but it’s Tyrael…. oh well, either way I’m still going to be shocked!
PS- check out the lore/story line boards for some info/theories!

I don’t know what it means, but Diablo III website is beautiful.

You can download some of the web content with firefox.
Right-click on the lower part of the page, select the “view page info” option from the pull-down menu and the go to media and voila.

Or, you know, they updated cause they wanted a cooler webpage graphic?

But who am I to get in the way of internetborne conspiracy theories? An insignificant trollspeck, destined to float forever in the ocean of speculations.
