Diablo 3 Release Seite – Finsternis Droht, Helden Steigen Empor.

• Jede Woche ein neues Klassen-Spotlight: jede Woche wird eine der fünf Klassen mit Hintergrund-Informationen, Fertigkeiten usw. vorgestellt.

• Exklusives Ingame-Siegel: jede Woche, wenn eine neue Klasse freigeschaltet wird, kann man einen entsprechendes Siegel erstellen. Wenn man seine Battle.net-Daten eingibt, wird man zudem später die Möglichkeit haben, diese selbst erstellten einzigartigen Siegel im Spiel für sein Banner zu verwenden. Wichtig: um alle fünf klassenspezifischen Siegel freizuschalten, muss man wöchentlich ein Siegel erstellen – nachdem das klassenspezifische Siegel eine Woche “aktiv” war, wird der Editor dazu jeweils wieder geschlossen.

• Wenn man einen Banner erstellt, kann man ein Bild von sich als Hintergrund verwenden und nimmt damit am täglichen “Hero of the Day” Contest teil. Hier hat man die Möglichkeit, ein vom Entwicklerteam signiertes SteelSeries Diablo III Mauspad zu gewinnen.

• Inhalte freischalten: nach und nach werden Inhalte der Seite freigeschaltet (ausschlaggebend hierfür ist die Teilnahme an Contests, das Teilen und Liken von Inhalten usw.).

• Kunst Wettbewerb

Während diese Woche der Dämonenjäger im Helden-Spotlight ist, warten wir natürlich mit Hochspannung auf die Vorstellung unseres Barbaren!

Hier der original-Post auf der offiziellen Seite:

[bluepost]The Diablo III launch site is now live! The “Darkness Falls, Heroes Rise” site will reward you and your friends for preparing to face the impeding demonic invasion and rising up as the heroes of Sanctuary. You’ll be able to find new information, videos, unlockable content, contests, a banner customization tool, and your chance to win five exclusive sigils for use on your customizable banner when Diablo III launches. Venture to New Tristram, seek the fallen star, and fulfill your heroic destiny.

Exclusive In-Game Sigil

Each week a new hero will be unlocked on the site, beginning with the demon hunter. During any class’s week, you’ll be able to customize a banner displaying an exclusive class-specific sigil. By entering your Battle.net account information, you will earn that class sigil for use in Diablo III after it’s released. These sigils are only available by customizing a banner on this site during a class’s week, so don’t miss out. As the promotional campaign will move on to a new class each week, the previously unlocked class sigil becomes locked. You can only earn the current week’s class sigil*, so it’s important to come back each week if you want to earn all five.

Mark of Valor

While customizing your banner, you have the ability to upload a picture of yourself instead of using the provided art, and then submit it for approval to be displayed on the site. Approved images will be automatically entered in the Hero of the Day contest, which will award one person each day with a SteelSeries Diablo III mouse pad signed by the development team. See the Hero of the Day contest rules for further details, or begin customizing your banner now.

Unlockables

You can help advance the progress bar on the main page to unlock exclusive content by participating in the Art Contest and the Mark of Valor photo customization activity. You can also make progress by sharing unlocked content and player-submitted art and photos from within the site by clicking on the “Like” or “Share” buttons. We’ll be unlocking all manner of exclusive content, including interviews with the Diablo III development team, culminating in a truly epic unveiling once the progress bar reaches 100%.

Gathering of Heroes

We’ll be unlocking a new class every week, unveiling new artwork, an exclusive video showing the class in action, and a new short story featuring that hero.

Art Contest

The Portrait of a Champion art contest challenges artists far and wide to depict one (or more) of the Diablo III classes rising to meet the challenges of the demonic invasion. Artists who instill the essence of the campaign’s theme — “Darkness Falls, Heroes Rise” — in their images can win some impressive loot! Prizes include ASUS monitors with 3D Vision kits, ASUS video cards, Antec Diablo III computer cases, and SteelSeries peripherals. See the Portrait of a Champion Art Contest rules for further details, or enter now. We’ll be adding approved images to the gallery up until the deadline, so keep an eye out.

We hope you enjoy interacting with the new site and encourage you to come back at least once a week to see all the exciting content we have in store, earn each of the exclusive in-game sigils, and check out all the player-submitted artwork. If you have any other questions, please visit the FAQ, and let us know what you think in the comments below.

*There will be a short grace period shortly before the game’s release where you’ll be able to make up for any sigils you might have missed.[/bluepost]
