"Wilson also assured me that the environments will get darker as the game progresses (what’s out now are early stages of the game), and the team is still in the process of “smattering the world with dead bodies and horrific skeletons and things like that” along the way."
That's what I'm talking about. I bet the final version will be great.:thumbsup:
I kinda like how the petition people try to turn it around on those who disagree with them.
"No, you guys are the ones bitching!"
Hahahahaha.
Damn, Veritech did you even have a response for me? I knew you didn't know what you were talking about. D3 deals with dark themes and demons. It's Dark Fantasy. Cheers.

I actually played starcraft a year or so before diablo came out. I LOVED it, and when my bro got diablo 2, he wouldn't let me touch it cuz i'd "mess it up". But I saw him playing it a lot, and even though I never played an rpg before that I figured that if it was made by the guys behind Starcraft, it has to be good.
So when the expansion set came out near my 11th birthday, I bought that bitch and my bro finally let me play. I made a necro, summoned my ass off, and the rest is history. Immediatly fell in love with the whole thing, community, gameplay, graphics, mood, all great. And I've been waiting on this for what seems like half my life now.

I'm not responding to you because no matter what I say you attempt to spin it into an argument.
Oh, and dark fantasy isn't even considered a sub-genre by most writers. It's something that was made up by some people who read too many vampire novels. There are no differences between fantasy and dark fantasy, both can be just as dark and horrific as the other.
canceled my order of diablo 3 now, and 7 of my friends (all i know who pre-ordered it) has done the same.
now we have to wait 10 more years for the (hopefully) real diablo 3, wo-ho..
So I guess I'll see you and your friends on release, same nick I suppose? If I do find you in the Bnet2 lobby I am going to remind you of this, strongly

You can't answer my questions? Do you even know what spin means? I even asked you multiple times to explain your quote about Blizzard resorting to making D3 high fantasy and you can't even back it up.
yeah....!!! finally people against it can stop pissing everybody off.
are you out of your mind? people complaint about the silly art, not people who liked it
its the other side that started flaming us for beliving we could change things for good before it was too late
i have no problem if some people like alot of color or the sytilised (huge) shoulder pads
but i think the fans have the right to be heard, thought if blizzard are happy with their green light coming out of nowhere, its ok, they are also in their rights, but they are going to piss off many fans, to bad
seriously, what most infuriates me is not the art direction has taken, its the lack of respect between the both sides
putting the whole art issue aside, the there are plenty of features that are gonna be so great in the game. I believe that once we start playing the game we will feel that the game's over all enjoyment will dwarf the art problem (if it could be called a problem at all).
why would we play WoW 2 when we can play Diablo 2?
man i knew it.. was so afraid before they announced it that they wouldnt be able to live up to it..
we preordered it because we know what blizz have done before to other games, how they have changed
things for the better and made awesome games by change, and we hoped they would do the same for "Diablo 3"..
if they arent interested, we arent interested
2 other online friends also canceled their preorders, only know 1 still that havnt canceled it haha
(i know some more online who preordered it but havnt spoken with them yet)
well, see you in D2
edit: ofcourse, i cant say i wont buy it anyway, cos i might, but this really turned me off..
really didnt think this of blizzard, im extremely disappointed
Still makes me laugh that here we actually have somebody who wont play this game which is bound to be great just because he's not able to get over the little issues within the very first part and 20 minutes of gameplay.
Exactly, you give Blizzard none, they give you none in return. Although:
"2 and a half years ago they were developing the first and second versions of the art with the whole modern grim and gritty look. But with all the targets on screen it became difficult to see what was actually going on and that the light radius from previous games wasn't working in 3D."
is hardly the same as "Fuck you", it's more like saying "we tried and it was didn't work, get over it". Thats already a shit-ton more than I've seen any petitioner give Blizzard.
i was refering to the lack of respect from the people defending the new art style, and you have to admit that the first flame came from this part becouse they felt attacked becous we were offending their almighty blizzard
we gave no respect? come on, you are saying they cant get an advice sometimes? blzzard is just a bunch of humans as we are. They choose to take or not the advice.
teh petition was the best way of voicing our opinion and advices. /im glad we got a response at least, the petition acomplished its objective, in my point of view, i just find the result very sad.
but then comes those people who believe in blizzard as if they were some god that knows everything. Indeed blizzard is a experienced games developing company, but remember:
the people making diablo 3 are the people who made wow or are either totally new(im not saying they dont have any talent). Te team who made diablo 2 and 1 are gone
now tell me wtf is wrong with giving and taking advices.
little issues? first 20 minutes? the whole game will have the handpainted cartoon textures and oversized lowpoly dull WoW style.
it cant change and look better the further you get, that would be just stupid, and it wont, blizzard just said it..
and the art is a huge part of the game as its everything you see.
i want Diablo gameplay in a Diablo world, not Diablo gameplay in a WoW world.
You've got a point. I never, ever wanted to play WoW because of the way it looked, nor would I want Diablo, a game I loved because of its goth and satanic themes, to look anything like that. That being said I'm still going to get the game, I'm not going to turn a blinds eye to it just because it isn't exactly what I want. Plus it's definitely too early to make a complete opinion on it just yet. I'm sure they'll release another gameplay trailer and blow our minds.
I will buy it probably. If its WoW crap I will sell it to a friend. That will only take the first 10 minutes of gameplay for me to deside, regardless of whats at the end game. The reason for this being are as follows. DO NOT READ BELOW IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE REGARDING THE ART DIRECTION OF DIABLO 3. I wouldnt want any carebears to cry.
Weapon glow affects = way to intense.
Monster textures//spell castings = copy/pasted from WoW. Example would be http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/bestiary/darkcultists.xml Clearly a undead caster, with the same exact casting moves an undead from WoW. Look at the art design pictures, its face is red, its clothing aswell looks NOTHING like the 3D model.
WoW art style = Considering the lead Art Designer from WoW works on D3. He wouldnt care what art design was put infront of him before turning it into a WoW-like 3D texture. The proof is undeniable considering the dark cultist page and other textures in the gameplay viideo.
For lack of a better term... Its unrealistic from what i've seen so far. Its diablo 3. Not WoW. Its suppost to be a fantasy game, but it was never intended to be a cartoon, cartoon-like, or cartoony, at least that was my take on the diablo franchise.
WoW inventory went straight into Diablo 3. its entire Art style looks exactly like WoW's. They also have purple texted item drops aswell in the game. (thousand pounder and seige assault dropped them).
The strange fog in the very first cupple of minutes in the gameplay video was very... odd... its like eminating its own blue/green glow. If you took all the lights out of the picture, and only had the fog to see off of you wouldnt have a problem seeing lol. The entire dungeon has a blue//green tint about it that just makes no sense. Theres enough lights in that one dungeon to light NYC.
Way to exaggerated armor, I dont really like it when the shoulder pads are able to go through my characters face.
So there not changing it? I would have to say I would honestly be shocked if they did. Because most likely they would be changing everything in the game lol. Some things it really wouldnt hurt if they changed. But if they leave it in a state that it is in currently I either wont buy it, or if I do I will probably sell it to a friend or hang it on my wall with a statement writen under it saying "most anticipated games of the century, that sucked". But if theres no change from what they showed us AT ALL, I just wont buy it.

Awesome!
:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
This proves my point, they'll probably make the game progress from less dark to more darker as the monsters get harder

Yes, everytime there is a post on the WoW general forum, I'm sure it happens.

I just wanted an explanation for your statement.
