How certain can we be that these aren't just translation errors?
Well.. A lot of them. And uncannily thematic ones?
Yeah okay I got nothing, I hope this is right, because it'd be awesome.
MIND BLOWN!!!
omg i can;t wait to kill midnight sparkle!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Cloudy Skiesy ube hatn
jk i hope so 2
Ponies!?
IN MAH DIABLO 3?
*Suddenly vomiting rainbows*
lolwut XD
anyway, sounds awesome :P
no way some of these are coincidence
OH MY GAD
I´m gonna buy Diablo 3...
All of a sudden the increase in coloration in Diablo 3 makes perfect sense! :D
8|
More than enough incentive to buy the reboot of my childhood favourite. Where am i going to get the time to play all tha GAIMZ?!
Tentacle Horse?
...
Not going to say it.
I especially like the bad guys:
Midnight Sparkle, Nightmarity and Nightmare is Magic...
I now have interest in Diablo 3.
Bring on 2012! Cause that's when the game will likely come out
@Select Few
I see where this is going.
Great, now I have to buy Diablo 3...
@Select Few
Tee hee, such a dirty mind.
If only Diablo 3 didn't have such invasive DRM.
I wasn't really seeing it until Midnight Sparkle, Nightmarity and Nightmare is Magic.
Awesome.
I would love to know how this came to pass.
Awesomeness overload!
*implodes*
Ponies? In MY DIABLO? It's more likely than you think.
Midnight Sparkle!
lol i remember the secret cow level, didn't you need a peg leg to get there?
Awesome! (never really played diablo)
but seriously i dont think that just anything with the word "pony" in it means it will have anything to do with MLP but i hope it does that would be awesome, anyways nice find
Diablo 3 just became tw-
no...
not gonna say it...
...Secret Pony Level? I might just have to get D3 afterall!
Color me doubtful. While I would find it humorous, and more than a little bit cool, if it was true... I simply don't trust it since it comes from a Chinese client. They have such lax copyright laws there, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the end result of somebody messing around with the code. It might even be just a giant scam.
If the leak had come Blizzard (straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak), I'd be more than willing to believe it. I'd even be comfortable if the leak came from Korea. But I just can't put my full faith in a leak from China.
Not even ponies can increase my anticipation for Diablo 3 because it's already maxed out.
Wow, that's rather cool. Now it's making me kinda want to pick it up as well.
"Tentacle horse" Oh my...
ponies in diablo great
.... if its a secret level I'm gonna go with code names ...
that said ...blizzard was never above pop culture references =P
Well there was a pony meme attached to Blizzard from way before MLP:FiM. (Something about somebody wanted a pony for a mount in WoW, got it promised by a dev, and it never happened.)
However those badguy names at the end! :D
"Tentacle Horse" Rainbow Western - Rainbow Dash?
Mindnight Sparkle - Twilight?
Nightmarity - Rarity?
I've seen enough anime to know where this is going.
I TAKE BACK ALL THAT I SAID!
Blizzard, take ALL of the time you want! THIS makes up for it all!
I'll wait until somepony prooves shows me Pics/vids of these levels...
Then we'll see if Blizzard can have my money...
Well it's not final until we see it in the game. Best hope it's not a hoax or gets removed from the game due to this leakage. Should be cool to see when it finally comes out.
with the crazyness that blizzard has done...and the random goofy tie ins(panda express even) this would NOT suprise me one bit..they tend to enjoy spoofing "in" things at the time of a game..you just have to look hard for them
and something tells me modding diablo3 into a pony form wouldnt be all that hard..god knows the level building(if the engine was user friendly) would be simple enuf
I feel safe in saying that if this is true, it is the most awesome thing to ever happen to anything Blizzard has ever done.
I knew Diablo 3 would be incredible, but now? I'm at loss for words. If this is legit, it will reinforce my love for Blizzard times infinity.
I was already in the boat of "can't wait for D3"... now I'm even more. Sheesh.
I am still kind of doubtful, but it would so very epic if it was true. Secret Pony Level? Why yes. x)
i think my life is now complete.
I included a link to the actual leaked MPQ files, guess that didn't make it here. http://wowbox.tw/d3/index.php
Of additional note is that one of Diablo's 4 IDs in the monsters section is MorganPony. Possibly a little developer in-joke?
To be fair, I can't verify if the leak is real myself or a huge, elaborate troll, and I did caution Sethisto of that.
Nightmare State of Mind, by Jetfire, Nightmarity?
Bwah?!
I thought it was just vague references but then I saw stuff like Nightmarity and Generosity of death and things...
Epic.
@Dusty
not just rainbow dash I feel like its a reference to all these RD/AJ shipping fics XD
@Monster Hunter Brony
You clever pony. I never realized that.
Could we also assume then that Midnight Sparkle may be a reference to Luna Twilight ships? If only a loose reference.
Holy shit, and I thought I was already as hyped as I could be for DIII...
@colt classicYup, go back to town and stick Wirt's leg in the Horadric Cube.
I hope this is true. I've been waiting for Diablo III, and this really would make the wait worthwhile.
Maybe the rewards are the elements of harmony!
now I want it now even more!!
*Preorders AGAIN*
Damn you blizzard, you've just made the wait almost as worse as the wait for Season 2
*Mind blown*
Honestly, seeing pony references stuffed into a Blizzard game...this is...unbelievable.
I week ago I was fiddling with the idea if Blizz would ever put pony references into WoW or D3, but a second later I was "meh" and totally sure it will never happen.
Once again, I stand corrected, ponies pwn and take over everything.
Sidenote: I haven't read all the comments here, sorry if this has ben pointed out already, but I'm somewhat confident the secret level will be about slaughtering ponies, not saving them :-/
As awesome as this is, and how much I want it to happen I kinda don't believe it.
It's from a random guy on reddit from the Chinese client. Not the most trustworthy of sources
Seems legit.
If this is true, this will be awesome.
Well before MLP:FIM even aired, I remember complaints about there being a rainbow in the background of one of the levels, and that things were a bit too brightly colored. I find those complaints highly amusing now, for some reason. ;)
Also, knowing how Blizzard loves to stick pop culture references in its games willy nilly, I seriously wouldn't doubt that they'd do this. :)
Final Boss is Fluttershy. If you kill her, the universe shoots you for committing such a horrible crime against all things kind and loving.
It seems like Diablo just became 20% cooler! (sorry somepony had to say it)
But I don't play video games made after 1998 (1995 if I can help it)so you guys will have to tell me about it.
Now I really cant wait for this game to come out. Midnight Sparkle boss fight sounds like a multipony fight as well.
This...this may be enough to buy the game even though it forces you to play online.
Midnight Sparkle = Fillystata reference?
Also, whoa. Everybody said that Blizzard was a kickflank company, but I didn't expect all this much. Way to go!
This is exactly the way stuff always leaks out of unreleased Blizzard games, and this is exactly the sort of thing Blizzard would do. It's almost certainly real.
Eh, Blizzard had all of my money way before this happened, if this turn out to be legit then it's just an extra bonus. (A really really cool extra bonus but just that)
NOOOOOOOOOO! *Sobs*
now i need a new Computer
my body is ready.
@Select FewHmmmmm....slendermane maybe? >:D
I... don't know what to think right now.
Blizzard isn't cool enough to do this. It just isn't.
>NIGHTMARITY
Moo, moo. Moo, moo moo moo.
Good times, good times.
Not only are the names clear references to FiM characters: Rainbow Western (Rainbow Dash), Midnight Sparkle (Twilight Sparkle), and Nightmarity (Rarity); but Midnight Sparkle seems associated with an attack (?) called "Nightmare is Magic" (Friendship is Magic), and Nightmarity has "Generosity in Death", both of which correspond to their special talents in the show.
So much for the Diablo 3 rainbow haters. Blizzard knew that friendship is magic before FiM even came out! So. Awesome!
And here I was planning not to buy Diablo III because of the DRM... Oh well! Who needs money anyway?
I would love if this was real. Guess I'll have to buy a new PC so I can play this when it comes out. Was planning to wait a bit, but not anymore.
I was thinking of buying Diablo III. Then I found out about Path of Exile.
Sorry, Blizzard. Your craftsmen are in another castle.
At first I thought "That's no way that will happen". Then I remembered this: http://www.diablowiki.net/Art_controversy
Now I'm not sure... I don't think they will have those names, though.
Saw this when it hit Reddit, was fairly ho-hum till those boss names...then I did a double take, and started grinning from ear to ear. :D
My friends make fun of me for watching ponies, now there's ponies in our D3. Man... I wonder what they're going to say.
ahahahahahaha, PC gaming...no, snap out of it, you aren't on /v/ anymore
Rainbow Western?
Anyone else thinking some sort of Applejack-Dash combo?
My brother is anti-pony and loves diablo. I bookmarked this page on my iPod just to mess with him when he get's better.
I wonder what Rainbow Western means? I would think it could be some kind of combination of AJ and Dash.
Anyways, I hope this is legit. Its the First FiM video game easter egg I have herd of.

This was taken around 2008 of October, It's no
wonder was the secret cow level will have ponies
If this is true I will buy this game and hunt this level down! it will be conquered!!
I THINK the origin of this is the "Diablo III way too colorful" mess way back when the first in-game footage was released. They made a Pony Diablo III shirt for their employees for a convention some time later in mockery of the complaints.
If the secret level grew from that in-studio joke, then it predates Friendship of Magic - which doesn't mean, however, that there aren't some bronies running around in the studio who will take the opportunity to put some references in.
ARG NOW I WANT TO PLAY DIABLO 3
AND I HATE HACK AND SLASH
I'm a fan of the Diablo series and am pleased with the results of each release. This however is something I would not hold my breath on even in the least. There is a history about the secret cow lvl. Diablo back in 95-96 had word of a secret cow lvl that was just a lie. Blizzard heard of it and decided to put it in Diablo II by using Wirts leg and a tomb of Town Portal in the Horadric cube. You had to complete all 5 acts to get there, 4 if you don't have the expansion. The downside of the level was you could only go there once each difficulty. Don't use it, then save and exit, you'll waste that use. Just for those who haven't played yet.
The staging grounds for the imminent Pony invasion of World of Warcraft.
@Cloudy Skies
Translation? Blizzard is located in the United States--English is the original language of all their products, the only one that's never NEEDED to be translated.
@Wabefuhon - The cow level isn't single-use. The problem is that if the Cow King is killed (by you or someone in your party), you can't make another cow level in that difficulty. Most people get around this by having one character make the level, and then they leave and come back with another character and do a cow run with that. That, or they request that people don't kill the Cow King, and most people aren't douchey enough to disobey.
yes
You know something? I think Diablo III is going to be even better than Diablo II: Lord of Destruction was... And Diablo II: LOD was one of the best games I've ever played. Blizzard, on the off chance that you are reading this, not only do you have my respect once again, I fucking WORSHIP you now if this news is true. You can have ALL of my money and a disproportionate amount of my free time now.
I wasn't really convinced that this was a Friendship is Magic reference until I read:
"TentacleHorse Rainbow Western
Unique_TentacleHorse_A Midnight Sparkle
TentacleHorse_B_Unique Nightmarity
Unique_TentacleHorse_A Nightmare is Magic
Unique_TentacleHorse_B Generosity in Death"
So.....Nightmare Rarity?
TAKE MY LOVE, MY HATE, AND ALL OF MY MONEY.
http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/images/original/000/113/203/shutup_spike.jpg?1302578015
I keep throwing money at the screen and nothing is happening. :(
I haven't seen any references to Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy in the data... I wonder if they plan to eventually include clones of Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy as fightable ponies? Oh well, guess we'll find out in due time... Provided this is actually real, which it BETTER be.
Wasn't going to get Diablo 3... but this changes things.
Nightmarity is extra fitting because Rarity and Nightmare Moon have the same voice actor.
No just no. Please do not wreck diablo 3. As much as I love the pnmies they do not belong Diablo
How long until we see the first MLP/ Diablo crossover fic?
In World of Warcraft there's a Boss called Bronjahm . There's also a quest chain in which you helps a Rambo expy to defeat an army of orcs or an NPC called Lieutenant Horatio Laine from the Stormwind Crime Investigators. So yes, Blizzard had done stuff like this in the past.
However, WoW was full of pop-culture references right from the start and that’s why it works. The Diablo series was always more serious and dark. Sure there was a cow level in the second game, but it was more a nod to a popular fan gag than anything else. A secret Warcraft or StarCraft level would work better than a pony level. In WoW, on the other hand, I wouldn’t mind a “Mad Six” boss fight.
If in this secret level my goal will be to help ponies, Im will be fighting for them in first line. If I will have to kill ponies, then screw you blizzard. Hope guys in blizzard are bronies.
Rainbow Western sounds like an AppleDash combo.
Heh. Rainbow Western. Brokeback Mountain. Heh. Just sort of fell into that one. Sorry guys.
Way I see it, a level where the ponies are the villains makes sense: it has the pony references that gets bronies excited, and it has the killing ponies that gets the Brony haters to not boycott the game for containing Ponies. Because let's face it, it's impossible for haters to ignore a pony level just because they don't like it. They'd hate it just for being there. Just like everything else Pony that they can't help but complain about despite them not having to pay any mind to it.
@cplhicks
Too bad, you're missing out on a metric ton of really awesome games.
*manly tear running down face*
What...
Two generators of awesome...
Combined...
*millions of other manly tears running down face*
F*** YEAH!
yogscast showed this. that was the day i discovered that lewis and hanna are bronies. my mind was blown!
Oh god I'm crying with joy I hope this is real
Sorry, as much as I might want to see this, Blizzard is not getting another red cent from me, after banning and locking three accounts (two for my kids) because I reported someone else for hacking. "Thanks for buying all the CE since Original Release and maintaining a monthly fee. Up yours. Bye."
im fan of ponies and diablo and im so happy :D
Diablo III just got 20% cooler.
When this is really true, it would be fantastic!
I watch My little Pony - Friendship is Magic just since a few days, but I'm on the best way to become a big fan of it!
I hope that this is not a joke from Blizzard!
@Dark Summoner
This may or may not be real, but if it is real, why on earth would that mean that it isn't a joke?
I can confirm at least Nightmarity. I have a screenshot. her subtitle is indeed Generosity in Death.
