Standard of Heroes

[Anarazium]

Can you tell me what is that, if someone know ?

It's level 90 only, has no bonuses and seems ... useless ...

Shall I drop it ? Shall I trade it with some unique, or shall i keep it for myself ?

Thank You :)

[2.0]

It's just a trophy.

Nothing more.

[Todd]

Indeed They Decided "Hey Lets put a Useless req on an Item so we can piss off other players by Making them think it does somthing!"


Wow...That was long >.>

[DK_MelMan]

You can put 13 SoH on the cube, to make a SoJ! :P

[Baraccus]

You can put 13 SoH on the cube, to make a SoJ! :P

Hahaha, let me borrow 13 from ya and i'll try it ok :)

[JaBaSh]

You can put 13 SoH on the cube, to make a SoJ! :P

It works only if you had pressed "Perfect Gem" for 666 times before cubing!!!

:D

[N V]

It works only if you had pressed "Perfect Gem" for 666 times before cubing!!!

:D

thats for cubing the pgems!

you must sell 666 selffound sojs (and the game will know if its selffound or not) to vendors before trying to cube the standard of heroes. you will get 1 soj :D

[DK_MelMan]

Hahaha, let me borrow 13 from ya and i'll try it ok :)

Then I wanna have your cube, if it really can contain 13 SoH! :D

[N V]

i had 13 SoH. only it wasnt in my cube o.o

i could get it and place it in a cube though>_>

[IronNuts]

I'm sure it does SOMETHING. I made a thread about this before they cleared the forum or what not. It looks a lot like the symbol for those annoying little bastards.

like I said. I'm sure it does something. I have 8 or 9 SOH i'm only saving them till we do find out. then... i'll be wealthy... or really poor. :D

[N V]

for now it does absolutely nothing except for being a trophy. might be changed in a future patch. but we all know the chance of getting a patch....

[JaBaSh]

When you drop one in front of Diablo Clone, he's impressed you already survived a much larger threat that him alone, and drops dead imediatelly with 2 annis instead one... [/end lame joke]

Actualy it's really what NV said; it's just a trophy.

[Skullcaptain]

So that you can put it in your stash and see how many ubers you pwned.

:D

[N V]

:D



that is kinda exactly what it is :D

[Pigeon Poop]

I don't even pick them up any more. Collect too many of them and they just take up space. I dropped a pile in a 'brg free' game once and they went wild trying to pick them all up.

I do like what Jabash said. Thats the best one I've heard. Drops dead, ha, thats funny.

[Phoenix13]

I know wha the Standard of Hereos do... Makes people ask stupid questions.

[DarkPrinceLoki]

it gives people who camp by the ubers [while other people are killing them] something to accidently grab instead of the real prize (torch). that way they can complain:

"z0mg! w7fbbq! N0z fa1rz 1 w4nn73dz t3h t0rch!!!5h1f7+0n3!11!"

[N V]

you shouldnt be doing ubers with people who would try to grab your torch in the first place ;)

[Omnicide]

Yes...thus is the purpose of a password in the game. :3

[Habit88]

^^the truth is spoken(last two posts)

[DarkPrinceLoki]

what if u have a group of "friends" doing it together, but one decided to be greedy?

[Skullcaptain]

You have to be selfish at a certain while of time.

;)

[N V]

if you provided the keys and your "friend" decides to take the torch, is he really that good a "friend"?

i would say no.

[Apokalyptus]

It's a "merit badge" worth nothing, but lots of scams stating it's worth something. Don't be fooled.

[aznmatt001]

hmmm...they say u need 13 SoH??? well...u can only have a room of 12squares in the cube. Therefore, it is impossible to make a soj with 13soh..lol noobs..

[N V]

Ever heard of sarcasm....? Guess not....

[Archerdoom]

We all know Blizzard likes to screw with us eh guys?

Maybe in a future blizzard game there'll be a cheat code:

"The Standard of Heroes doesn't do anything" [/inside joke]

[Skullcaptain]

Starcraft 2 Instant win cheatcode: sohdonothing

Something like: thereisnocowlevel

;)

[N V]

Something like: thereisnocowlevel

;)

And when you write that it opens a super secret cow level with cows being lvl 110! And all got might, fana, conviction, extra strong, extra fast, light encanted, fire enchanted and cursed!

Though it must be spammed at least 100 times in a row before it happens.... :eek:

[Taurean]

Hehe that would be crazy ...

[zaiura]

This may sound like a dumb theory, but I think they patched Standards in because they have something to do with Diablo 3. It kinda makes sense to me. They finally release a new patch right around when work on Diablo 3 got restarted. The patch was just to keep us busy on Diablo 2, right? Sleight of hand and stuff. Personally, I think it might let a high level character transfer over to diablo 3 (with or without items?) so that players don't have to start from the beginning. I think it makes a lot of sense >>

oh well. bye.

[N V]

It doesn't do a thing except looking pretty, and when did blizzard inform us they have started working on D3. Yes I said started since I don't think they ever announcen that they where working on D3 so the rules out restarted. If you have a link to info about that from blizzard it would be great though. :)

[Skullcaptain]

I don't think they will put time in d3 as Wow is very profitable to be invest in now.

SoH will be just an easter egg in the game..

they're hiring quite a few people for a top secret project here:

http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/

Lead 3D Character Artist - Next-Gen MMO
Lead 3D Environment Artist - Next-Gen MMO
Lead/Senior 3D Character Animator - Next-Gen MMO
Technical Artist - Next-Gen MMO
Lead 3D Environment Artist
3D Background Artist
Environment Texture Artist
Senior 3D Character Animator


Earlier this year, Blizzard founding member and senior vice president of product development Frank Pearce told Gamasutra that the company had created a workforce titled "Team 3," comprised of about 40 members separate from the Starcraft and Warcraft teams.

True, all I can really do is speculate, but unless they're making a new franchise entirely, all logic points to diablo 3 because starcraft 2 has already been announced. Like I said. 1.11 was to keep us busy to "top secret project" gets finished.

Still just a theory though.

[N V]

Interesting links you have there. It's still only speculations as you say, and I won't get my hope up until they make an official announcement ;)

[Rotta]

Well... Too fast announcements aren't good... you never know how much there will be delays in the making of the game
and too much Hype isn't a good thing

[zaiura]

But there's like almost 0 hype out, because this is the only information available that can be interpreted as related to Diablo 3. but it does make sense though, right? I'm not crazy? :D

[N V]

*creapy voice* Of course you are crazy..... CrRrRrrrrAAaaAy!

:D

[Krystobal]

CRAZY?? Did someone say CRAZY?? I was crazy once they put me in this rubber room.
Rubber Room, Rubber Room, I hated that Rubber Rooom. That Rubber Room drove me CRAZY??.

CRAZYY?? Did someone say CRAZY??

(yeah that could go on for days)

SOH's were originally created to become part of passive ruststorm. By having one it would activate a scan of that character each time you entered or left a game. Torches and SOH's were meant to be found by only the most dedicated and Elite players in the game.

In trial runs it was found that 92.6% of people who could possibly get a SOH would be using duped and or hacked items, knowing or unknowingly.

Blizzard realized that if they did this most characters would lose key gear and most likely quit playing because of this. Also they felt it would increase the business of online dealers because people would try to immediately replace their items. For these reasons Blizz elected not to implement the scan aspect but kept the SOH anyways.

[Skullcaptain]

So you mean that SoH helps blizzard to track down players with legit gears and duped grears?

Where did you read this? I have never heard of this, and to me it sounds totally ridiculus. You can do ubers with items worth a handful of pgems, so you don't need to be an elite dedicated player to beat them.
Could you post a link to where you read about this?

Yeah that pretty much sounds like bunk since passive ruststorm runs everytime you leave and enter a game. Seeing as that is the case there is no reason to have a "bugged" item in the game that would do what??, help run the ruststorm while playing. Have to give that idea a FAIL!

[Ares]

You asked, I answered. No reason to get upset just because you do not like my answer.

Facts;
1. My ex. was a employee/graphic artist for the great Blizz.
2. She is under contract stating she cannot divulge any non-public information about Blizzard, its games and or it's employees.
3. Most Blizzard employees are under similar contracts.
4. I am under no such restraint, as we are currently divorced.

Assumptions;
1. Members od D2.com wanted to know the truth about SOH's.
2. I would not be attacked by people who asked the question I am trying to answer.

Results;
1. People will believe what has been fed to them and disagree with truth when spoken if it does not follow their trained beliefs.

Epilogue;
There is no link to this information as it is not public information. I used to have access to my exs online blizzard employee account, which was where company memos, general business, and much of the banal company matters were and are discussed. Since the divorce She has obviously changed her PW.

There are answers to many questions here where the best answer I have read are indeed just fallacy, The reason for the chat gem, The SOH, The second gate at the Monastery. All of these things were designed with a intended use current or future. The fact that you do not know what it is DOES NOT mean that "It does nothing".

All games have similar things. Why do you think there are patches and bugs?

BTW; Passive ruststorms are rarely run or you would see many more items that mysteriously poof.

[N V]

Wow. And you think I will believe that? serously? Want more attention do we?

[Ares]

Wow. And you think I will believe that? serously? Want more attention do we?

I really dont care if you belive me or not.

People will believe what has been fed to them and disagree with truth when spoken if it does not follow their trained beliefs.

But I must say you are doing a fine job of proving my point.

[Taurean]

2. I would not be attacked by people who asked the question I am trying to answer.

2) It sounds ok to me, although as long as i don`t see any link to a genuine answer by the producer of the game OR anyone who have checked this, i won`t rest 100% sure of your answer.. But i do to a certain point.

[N V]

EDIT: Taur posted before me, but my entire post is aimed at Ares, just so there is no confusion about this.

You really do believe what you have said don't you?

Everyone can make up stories of how someone they know is/was an employee at blizzard, and I have seen it more than a dozen times over on this forum alone. Why should I believe you?

And that point is? So far you havn't provided me with anything but empty talk, and can't backup what you say.

[Taurean]

N_V)

I still do not believe that the formula i have provided actually works, and i also, clearly, know that everyone can make up stories and coming up with answers taken out of thin air. But i for one don`t take everyone for a liar, and until ppls answers are proven wrong, i give them a chance. That goes for everything in life ...

That goes for my formula, too (It`s actually not my formula, but someone on another forum). Until someone gives me an SS with the recipients within the cube, i can`t turn down the idea...

The best thing would actually be if i didn`t make this thread, and tried it out for myself x) Even though it might take another month.

[N V]

I'm all for giving people a chance, but I would rather believe what 2 moderators on Blizzards forum said about the SoH than some guy claiming his ex wife was a blizzard emplyee, and never have I heard the rumor he says about the SoH, but I have heard many others (uncluding several well respected members of the d2 community) back up the claims that the SoH is nothing more than a trophy.

EDIT: this (http://www.diablo2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1603) is the thread you created. This is a different one ;)

[Taurean]

N_V)

Holy smokes ... Again i fail ^_^ Sry for thinking this was my thread, i will edit that. But quite careless by the person making this thread without a 2 or II at the end.

I won`t "bump" my old thread before i`ve tried the combination..

I do agree that i believe respectable members and forum moderators more than strangers - as you wrote ^_^

Wouldn't call it fail, since everyone can make misstakes ;)

And perhaps the guy who created this didn't notice your thread (though its no excuse for not using search ;))

I could try it sometime too, just don't have the needed runes or the gem >_<

Thats also why I didn't give him a chance since he couldn't back up anything he wrote, though I havn't done either I will do so if he asks for it.

[Ares]

thats for cubing the pgems!

you must sell 666 selffound sojs (and the game will know if its selffound or not) to vendors before trying to cube the standard of heroes. you will get 1 soj :D

OK slick prove your statments.

[Yesca159]

I think it has to do somthing other than just being a trophy, I know no idea what but scanning or inventory come on now.....

[N V]

OK slick prove your statments.

From the Battle.net forum. (http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?fn=d2-general&t=1312543&tmp=1#post1312543)


I repeat, there is no known use for the Standard of Heroes small charm.
On this matter, I am going to quote the Blizzard forum moderator MicahW.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
The Standard of Heroes is a trophy you get for having completed the patch 1.11 world event.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


And if you don't believe MicahW, Blizzard forum moderator NickJS said this:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q u o t e:
They are merely trophies. If we ever release a future patch hopefully we implement a "trophy case" to put these in. Available in Maple or Oak. You could have your friends over and show them off!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is absolutely nothing that suggests it has a function besides looking pretty. All rumours that say otherwise are products of someone's overactive imagination, or a pitiful scam attempt. Why it has a level requirement is unknown.

I rathere believe Ernir quoting 2 of the bettle.net forum moderators stating it's nothing more than a trophy than someone making up what it does with a story of how your wife was an ex employe and that you had access to blizzards secrets/unannounced stuff.

Very interesting, but knowing Ernir (Which I do, probably better than you) was the one to say this does not make this true. It is just a statement of something He said that He read. As far as the Mods at Bnet, they are comparable to the Mods here. Typically spewing their own agenda and personal bias while secretly deleting what they do not want you to read.

So your argument proves ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It is no more plausible than what I stated.

Yea I believe his word over yours....

[Ares]

Allow me to reiterate because apparently you did not read what I said or simply choose to ignore it. I would highlight certain parts of my text but as it is all as relevant as the rest a complete quote seems pertinent.

Please read each word and understand it. For you previous response addressed nothing that PROVED your statement. It was merely saying that you believe person A over person B because of Bias.

[N V]

I read all of it (and understood it), and yes what Ernir says is just a statement, which doesn't make it true, but that mods, Ernir and at least a dozen other people on various forums says it doesn't do anything goes further to prove that it doesn't than 1 guy saying it does. There are plenty of rumors going around about what the SoH does, but each and every time I see that, others come along and say the same thing each time. It has no known effect, and until blizzard says otherwise I'm going to go with the crowd of people (including Ernir that you know so well) in that it doesn't do anything.

[Ares]

aight then.

[halone]

ok listen out all now i am telling what it is for.. u have to use it in the cube as the other ubers but only at a certain time... it is when uber diablo or.. d2 clone comes in a game when u killed him and taking the anni u go to the town and u cube 1 anni 1 torch and 1 soh in cube then u will see why there is a d3 coming out gl finding a game with uber diablo though lol this is for real guys try it out!

[Vile]

u cube 1 anni 1 torch and 1 soh in cube then u will see why there is a d3 coming out

Totally true.

Baal has kids.

True story.

[fuzzydoggy]

ok what i heared is that when ur leval 90 it dosent take away xp when u die but i dont know...

[N V]

That's totally true! And at lvl 95 it gives a 100% bonus to experience, and when you reach 99... you can fly! :rolleyes:

[halone]

[QUOTE=N V;73434]That's totally true! And at lvl 95 it gives a 100% bonus to experience, and when you reach 99... you can fly! :rolleyes:[/QUOl

But that would take away from killing power... which is a huge thing in PvP :D

[fuzzydoggy]

how do they fly oooooo nvm i know lol but ok now that i know i gota get 2 leval 90 lol but how do u no at 95 u get like flying???

[fuzzydoggy]

how do they fly oooooo nvm i know lol but ok now that i know i gota get 2 leval 90 lol but how do u no at 95 u get like flying???

[halone]

oh ya and if u do ubers before u at lvl 90 and u lvl to 99 with the soh then blizzard will give u a free account with lots of free stuff both runes unike and stuff thats why people lvl to lvl 99 thats why they are rich ;:D

[N V]

how do they fly oooooo nvm i know lol but ok now that i know i gota get 2 leval 90 lol but how do u no at 95 u get like flying???

Seems my sarcasm wasn't that obvious afterall :rolleyes:

We're just having fun with people who believe that. I think earlier in this thread it was said several times that the SoH doe absolutely nothing. At least for now that holds true.

[halone]

there is something u can do with it.. i allready said that u can use it in the cube look go and check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvhZCXehnNY

its all true did u not see the barb in the movie :D

Lol

Sorry, but its not a real movie. If it was true, it would be all over the sites about Diablo 2.

well Seems my sarcasm wasn't that obvious afterall

[Vile]

Lol No it wasn't. Hard to tell because people actually believe that stuff :p

[halone]

hehe yup so it is

[zonhunter21]

When I first started playing the game someone included it in a deal while trading. LOL. I was such a newbie!
