This shot of the wizard made me drool...
Just look at that lightning arc curve! Ohhh baby!
I love the extra emphasis blizzard put into lightning spells, because honestly, they were pretty much neglected in D2. Can't wait to start playing the sorc... uh... wiz!!
I'm loving the curving and arching. From what I can see it moves way faster and snaps into place
Unlike D2, which was the most sluggish lightning ever. Charged bolt looked like cheese puffs
I'd rather it be brighter yellow\white than blue\white though. Blue\white is supposed to be the ice color
Although I suppose blue\white is closer to real life :confused:
P.S - Actually, after looking at D2s lightning again, I'd say its basically 90% pure white, with a minute amount of blue in a few like teleport and telekinis... Its been so long I have to refresh my memory
Its been a while since I used D2 charged bolt except I do have those fuzzy cheezy memories From the bats in D1 to the cheeses in D2 to the... actually I don't think I've seen D3 charged bolt yet; I hope they implement it.
I agree. I always favoured the idea to distinguish each spell type very clearly from the rest. The red of fire, green of poison, (now) purple of magic, blue of ice, and yeah.. blue of lightning doesn't really fit the randomized pattern here. Yellow? Maybe. I can't picture it right now, but it might've worked. It's not very realistic though.

Hey, Pikachu is yellow. Thus lightning is yellow, end of story
Honestly though, I always think of lightning as yellow, even though it isn't. Blame cartoons if you wish.
The blue woks very well in D3 from what I can tell though. And even if both ice and lightning are blue, hopefully it won't be too had to distinguish the elements from each other just because of that.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

I got a few things quickly. Not saying any is true.. I hate the internet, I can only guess if anything is true.
http://www.enotes.com/science-fact-finder/weather-climate/what-color-lightning Blue lightning within a cloud indicates the presence of hail. Red lightning within a cloud indicates the presence of rain. Yellow or orange lightning occurs when there is a large concentration of dust in the air. White lightning is a sign of low humidity (amount of moisture in the air). White is the color of lightning that most often ignites forest fires.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_all_the_colors_of_lightning
Lightning comes in every color of the rainbow(Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Violet, to name a few). It's almost always white, but often it's tinged with another color around the edges. The three most common colors(aside from white) are electric blue, electric yellow, and "Voltage Violet." The color of the bolt depends on how hot it is; the hotter the lightning, the closer the color will be to the end of the spectrum. Infared, (red) which is the coolest to ultraviolet (violet), thus hottest.
In any case, I'm pretty damn sure lightning can take on many colors, and unless you want the in-game lightning to change everytime its cast, there is no wrong decision on its color.

But i want yellow D: Our damage is showed in yellow on the character's chart when it have lightning damage (while poison are green, fire are red and cold are blue). Also "immune to lightning" appears in yellow color. Thats why i think yellow lightning would be cooler.
Also with the flashbangs a previous reply mentioned - would be cool to see sparks fly. I love particle systems in games (I think Nox did a great job of using particles) and I think it would really complement the lightning strikes.
That would be coool if you cast it diffrent times its diffrent colors O_o. Also I think it would be cool if you could control your chain lightning a little more like choose who it can bounce to next if you chose or you can just let it randomly go. (It could also be more strategic that way you can take out the acolytes without it bouncing to a monster)

Choosing where your lightning go is a no to me, since thats what lightning is about: randomness.
And if we go the logical way, if the color depends on how hot the lightning is, then we could assume that when you are more powerful, its hotter, and so the color would change accordingly.
So the lightning would always be white, but the outline would be purple first, then as you gain level it gets more blue, then green, then yellow.. orange.. and end up red.
...they should just include customizable lightning color ^.^
o.O The first post is about how nice the lightning flowed then right away people start arguing about the color kind of funny lol...but hey i would prefer blue though.....:thumbsup:

does the video here http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/714955/diablo-iii/videos/diablo3_blizzcon08_101008.html not show some form of charged bolt in action? I hope it looks better in the final release but I'm pretty sure this is it.
