Next, something thats often done in hack&slash games. Have miniboss chasing you thru dungeon, u gotta run&kill mobs blocking ur way fast. If it catches up, a short fight ensues until u cripple it, then u gotta run again. And vice versa: you fight belial, reduce his hp to 50%, he escapes by charging right through walls (D3's environment interaction is there 4 a reason!XD) n u gotta give chase while mobs block ur way, until u finally corner him. This could make a dungeon run into one extended boss fight, and imo more variety than plain vanilla rushing: find boss, hack until die, the end.
Metroid Prime perfected this idea.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
Let's not be afraid to make suggestions even if we think it will be more work for Blizzard. So long as we are reasonable, let Blizz decide if our brilliant ideas will force system specs up or blow the dev budget! Let's not be shy!!

Anyway, I like the idea of monsters hunting ME down very very much. I think Blizz are wanting to make normal mode more accessible to newcomers so can't see it happening there but in Nightmare I say: Bring it on! I'll be waiting for you!

Jay Wilson has talked about how in D3 we have an invasion from hell, unlike in D2 where the monsters were just hanging around.
Since when do monsters who are part of an invasion just hang around drinking coffee? Surely an invasion means that they actively seek out a fight.
Thus, I'm sure it will happen but maybe not in normal.

So we've got over the problem of colour in D3. Great. Now let's argue about everything else not yet set in stone and help make this game simply great! Game on.
Raise system spec?? Haha neva thought this'd b an issue~you dont need mobs with 'tracking' AI etc, jus need to make it LOOK as if its hunting you! XD
e.g. mobs ambush u while u looting
a) check if theres been no mobs around hero for 10 sec
Spawn Mob in Adjacent Room, open door in between
c) path mob into hero's room...
surely that's plausible? and with that special vampire pack i mentioned, just spawn them close to hero every 5min, etc. no xtra AI required, none! there's always a cheap&easy solution! XD
oh okay, i thought u meant all the monster would be running around the level looking for you lol
yes, I could see how this could be very plausible. now... just get blizzard to do it. gl.
Soundslike a really neat idea. I definately want the AI to be improved. It didn't seem to change much from 1 to 2 so I think it'd be great to see some bad guys actually seem to have tactics.

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
Monsters suddenly breaking through a wall to get at you is cool.

Thats been done so far, example games:
Gears of war, Resident evil 4, and Conan just to name a few.
