Let's just postpone the game for two years, and have it all dark and scary, with no exapnded gameplay, and lesser story, ect because they had to make sure the graphics were perfect.
You act like a lighting change takes years. They could do a concept version of everything they showed in that trailer with changes to the color and placement of light elements in the environment in less than a week. Changing all the textures is not really necessary to get closer to the look people are talking about. You could get about 70% there with just he lighting engine.
Look i agree with some of the stuff, like that the sholder pads are too fricken huge, but come on, less than a week and olny a 20 minute gamplay video, in 2 area's, if i was blizzard i would be wondering if we deserved d3.
The problem is THAT THIS IS THE GAME THEY WANTED TO SHOW!!!NOT SOME GRITTY DARK PART!
This is their best!...You want to tell me that each of the acts will be totally different lightning/contrast wise? only this act will have blue/green brightness?
give me a break will you.

Sure it could take along time, remember this is blizzard were talking about, took 10 years just to announce sc2.
When you change lighting you gotta change a lot of stuff, not just flick on a switch and voila, you gotta rebalance everything to work with that light so it won't look fugly.

Haha yep. No one was really waiting that long for D3 anyway...
Blizzard has no shame in axing games. Starcraft Ghost...
do you know what would suck? if they canceled the game due to this petition. how many of you will buy the game even if its not changed? almost everyone
Yes, I'm as concerned about any one as the art direction in Diablo 3. But this whole endeavor seems utterly misguided to me.
How would you guide it? How would you make diablofans heard?

ok you people complain to much and pretty much the reason why u guys are complaining is because you have nothing else to do and u can't play the game so u got to find some little thing to cause problems about instead of waiting tho i see it has if diablo 3 wasnt announced you people would still be complaining cuz d3 wasnt announced but cuz now it is u gotta complain about the game
Blizzard has stated that they listen to their fans about things they like and don't like about their games, that they will and have in the past changed games due to what the fans have said. They are fans of their own games as much as we are.
It's obvious that the game has taken styling ques from WoW. The game is critically acclaimed and has 10 million subscribers. It makes sense that Blizzard would try to replicate WoW's success by replicating the look of the game.
However, I believe Blizzard will take this petition into account and realize that WoW players are NOT Diablo players, that the franchises are entirely separate entities and don't deserve to have their styles merged with one another. Diablo 3 will be a true Diablo game in the end.

You know what.. all that needs to be said is take a look at those SC2 pics above, also, does anyone have a ascii face palm headache man on hand?
are you people forgetting the true purpose of diablo, its not the graphics its the story behind it and the gameplay. i mean now this is jsut getting rediculous. Since when did graphics become so important that you have to bitch about every little thing. They have even said this is going to be a HEAVY storyline and quest game. Thats their main focus, to make the story itself exciting. Does everyone not care about that at all and just overlook it because the graphics arent up to their expectations.
Was there that much comlaint when D1 went to D2? D2 wasnt reall that dark or creepy at all, especially compared to D1. But thats because D2 was much more expanded. If you want to play a game thats all dark in a dungein, play diablo 1
