The promotional site {link no longer active} for Diablo III is now live and lets fans seek evil and expose the shadowy horrors of our world, and share and earn rewards. Designed around the star that has fallen near the town of Tristram and the heroes who seek out its meaning, the site enables fans to interact with various features to move the progress bar forward and unlock new content. Produced by the Ayzenberg Group, each week a new class-specific activity will unlock allowing fans to earn five exclusive in-game banner sigils to display Diablo III characters across their social graph.
The five playable character classes in Diablo III, the barbarian, witch doctor, monk, wizard, and demon hunter all believe the falling star to be a sign of great importance, and are each heading to the small town to investigate. Every week of the promotion, we’ll ask you to take on the role of one of these classes and, in turn, you’ll be granted a unique sigil that can be used to customize your banner in Diablo III.
The banner is a customizable flag that shows off your achievements and progression when playing Diablo III. The sigil is the icon that can be placed on the field of the banner flag, and the five sigils that can be unlocked through this promotion are completely exclusive and unique. Mark of Valor includes the ability to play with a fully functional version of the banner customization tool, similar to the one available in Diablo III.
Throughout the promotion, each class section of the website will progressively get unlocked every week and stay unlocked. In-game class sigils, on the other hand, have limited availability and do not stay unlocked. The week that a class unlocks, only that class’ sigil will become available via Mark of Valor, until the next class section unlocks and its respective sigil takes its place. If you missed a week, don’t worry, there will be another chance to earn your favorite class sigil later in the promotion, but please note that sigils are only available for a limited time. May 18 will be the last day that you can earn an in-game sigil.
After selecting a background image and customizing a banner using Mark of Valor {link no longer active}, you will have the option to submit your creation to the “Hero of the Day” contest for a chance at being recognized for having the most epic representation of that week’s class. Each day, Monday through Friday, one of the eligible Mark of Valor {link no longer active} photos will be chosen by us. If your piece is selected, you’ll win a signed SteelSeries Diablo III QcK cloth mouse pad and be recognized as Hero of the Day. Hero of the Day contest submissions will close on May 10.
Advance the progress bar and unlock content by participating in the Art Contest and the Mark of Valor photo customization activity, as well as by sharing unlocks and player-submitted art and photos within the site by clicking on the “Like” or “Share” buttons.
