Like I said, Day and night should be implemented, like d2 had, but also morning and evening, and the shadows change around as the sun goes across the sky, almost like real time.
In terms of monsters, I think it would be cool to find werewolves at night mmhm
And one night a week you can find Dracula and the King Werewolf fighting (like that movie..) and if you manage to kill both of them you get something super cool.

Ah, vamps would be neat too. I'm guessing they'll be back again in this game.
hmmm, but I wonder if a nighttime boss would work at all. Probably not, but I think Cathulhu would make a good candidate, although he has nothing to do with Diablo.... oh well, random idea.
i like all OP's idea's awesome.
yet somehow i dont think the game would have to go through overhaul to achieve these effects! it's just ambient lighting control in the game's program code that could be altered, with a timer embedded.
D2 had night/day/ and morning. although you couldn't exactly see it, having deckard say 'good morning' always gave the game that credibility of submersion.
I also like sparks' idea about the lightning, although i would tie that idea to certain levels.
EG:
Say your on a quest up a mountainside, a mountain of storms, maybe. or even a siegebreaker/any other uberdemon with lightning strike.
now add that to destructible environments = awesome trees blowing/bursting into flames etc etc etc.
(remember, the coolest features haven't been revealed yet)

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
Cuz everyone knows rainbows don't happen in real life, huh?
Well the whole argument was that given the angle, the rainbow wasn't possible so Blizzard just added it for the "prettiness". Which I disagree with. The angle is wrong but I noticed in the D2 opening cinematic there is a rainbow that shouldn't be there either, but oh well.

It's just a rainbow.
Yea, well if they fixed the angle, then it would be more realistic. But I suppose they aren't that anal about it, which would also explain the stylized tree in the one picture... and nah, something like that shouldn't ruin the whole game for anybody, honestly.
i actually thought this was a good idea, night time in the forest will be filled with all sorts of monstrosities would begin to hound you from all sides and a lot more undead ambushes.
I think during the night when you cant see as far you should get the feeling of well....
Ok imagine your walkin along the forest lookin for beasties to slay to gain that last lvl before you go to bed and as your walkin along that yellow brick road sudedenly you hear a bark. Your like oh its nothing then suddently wolves surround you on all sides they come in so fast you jump and like "OH MY GOD! IM SURROUNDED WHA T AM I GOING TO DO!" You start clickin like mad throwin your fire bomb unleashing your wall of zombies are whirwinding threw them. You kill them with 1 health left and your like "JESUS THAT WAS CLOSE!!! I GATTA BE MORE CARFUL DURING NIGHTTIME GAMEPLAY!" Then your all wide awake restoring your health and like "IM WIDE AWAKE! IM GOING TO PULL AN ALL NIGHTER NOW! THANK YOU NIGHT TIME THANK YOU WOLVES I LOVE YOU BLIZZARD."

Wow, I love this DesmondTiny.
That's definitely a passionate player. I can visualize myself acting out every word.
Add me to a list of contact Tiny for when Diablo III comes out.

Over confidence is the rot.

I feel the same. Every suggestion is natural.
But with rain, there's rainbows. Uh oh..
