So wait are you shunning rainbows? Its not technically a rainbow its just a spectrum of light in the mist. Its realistic. Besides, rainbows are pwetty:cute:
yeah, were losing the classic grid inventory system =( no more time spending dropping, rearranging, and picking back up all your items just to fit that one charm in
I know this first area is kind of bright and very not Diablo.. but realize that this is one area. ONE. 1. Uno. Ichi. etc.. Blizzard flushed out the Diablo world (a farcry from my floating island map yesterday) and there are going to be plenty of areas. If you choose to return to Lut Gholein.. well look at that it is sunny and bright. Go back up north to what is now called the Dreadlands.. it is dark and gloomy and whatnot. Just have faith people.. Blizzard will deliver on making this game dark and grimey.. just to make the game more realistic.. the whole world isn't going to be dark and scary.
Do you honestly think they are going to have the whole game in darkness? When the time comes and your fighting Diablo, it isn't going to be all rainbows and lollipops. I'd imagine they would have it setup in the sanctuary, even grittier and darker than seen before. I don't see anything wrong with a little wide open brightness here and there.
look there are area's where mabey there should be brightness, like 20 years after evil has left, and there outside in the daytime? hmmm seems ok to me, now yes facing diablo, in a dungon, or as evil takes over the world damn straight they better make it darker.
New classes being just a remake of old ones, with new clothes and new skills that, basically, do the same as the original one. (yeah im talking about the WD/Necro)
On the other side i cant imagine diablo without a elemental caster(sorc), a ranged class(zon), and a warrior of light(paladin), strange huh?
Well...blizzard managed to keep this a secret for 4 years, i'm sure i will not be disappointed.
Get real, folks, the diablo you all knew is dead, a few years ago i said right here in this forum that D3 had a pretty good chance of being blizzard first bust (i was flamed to death ofc), and what you know, its not even beta and its already looking that way.
To bright? Do you expect the sun to shine less? If you don't like the "brightness" there are brightness settings. Did you say they are catering to younger players? Did you see the carnage? It will definitely be a M game. There will be very dark places. Trust me. You people worry too much. The game will be EPIC, stop complaining.
Only thing I can agree on at this point is the graphics. They need to be a bit darker and more 'spooky' than they currently look. Even in the monastery, there should be more grays vs blues. Honestly if they don't get changed, it wont keep me from buying the game...
And as long as they put in a ton of items with unique graphics
I'm not really a huge fan of the Witchdoctor design. It actually looks a hell of a lot better on the concept art @ the official diablo3 site than what they showed in game.
There was a portion of the demo where a circle of cultists sacrifice three half naked chicks who explode and the meat of their flesh spins around and slowly layers onto a skeleton to become a lesser demon, who explodes vaporizing the cultists. When he finally died all his flesh was flayed back off of the bone. I'm not sure how much more dark and gritty you can get than that.
Where was that part in WoW again? Sorry guys you're just unappeasable. There is no game for you.

Pfft, you'd see that in your average episode of Hannah Montana - it's so childisih.
I didn't read this whole thread but I agree with a lot of the complaints:
-needs to be darker
in the environment panel today they said they were trying to maintain a dark horror look. looking forward to see how they follow through on this.
-graphics look like "WoWtoons"
please oh please god make them change the cartoony graphics! I think they said something about addressing this in the e-panel today. (fingers crossed)
-limited classes
I would like more classes, but I'll be happy if they just bring back the zon, the pally, the assassin, and the sorc.
-only 4-5 players in a game at once
WTF! well, as long as they keep the limit to the same as the number of different classes there are. I want to be able to see every class in the game at once.
-loot system
At first I was super pissed, but I guess its not that bad, as long as its only on bosses, and not everyone gets the same loot.
-health globes
GoW anyone? not a big factor tho... i guess I can live with it... but it seems like the game would be way too easy. and whats gonna happened to life leech?
my last point of bitchery that no one else has mentioned: WTF was that magic hammer bs spell the barb does in the demo?!?
seriously... the bar is dual-wielding axes, then suddenly outta nowhere a giant fucking magic hammer... then bam as soon as it hits the ground its gone...wtf?! :mad:
I'm bothered by the fact the game has been in development for 4 years and is still in it's early stages, I'd rather have not known about Diablo 3 if it's going to take another few years to release.
They did that with Diablo 2, perhaps it's tradition.
A year maybe two years, fine, but the game is obviously not even at the stage to announce it will be in alpha in 3 years.

They said they aim to release games 1 to 1 and a half years after the announcement.
D3 has undergone several radical changes and Blizzard North closing up shop probably didn't help the pace of it.
To those of you NOT complaining about the game don't bother to read this post.
To those of you who are... I can hardly believe you have the nerve to critique a game that you've been waiting for for roughly what? 8 Years!? A game that you have just seen what? MAYBE 1% of! Not to mention that the game at this point is still in development, and more than likely won't be released for another 2 years. Personally I say be glad you're getting a Diablo3 at all!

It is different.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
