If they keep the colors the way that they currently are than ya, unicorn it up, because i think with the current colors it might as well have some unicorns, and rainbows, and heck lets through some little happy elvs in there too...
That is of course assuming they keep going in the same direction which after this anormous petition i dont think that they will :thumbsup: good job fellas! grats on over 1000 votes.
I do agree the past Diablo games was dark, but that was because the engines back then didn't really allow good looking bright environments.
And making Diablo 3 gray will just turn it into any other game today, everything today is either brown or gray, the graphics look fine. And how do we know this place is isn't unique in the way that stuff sucessfully flourished more here than elsewhere? Other places could be very dark for all we know.
REALLY? Where are these dark fantasy RPGs that you speak of?
Who here on this forum think that RPGs currently out are characterized either by

We are not talking about making diablo grey or brown, we are talking about making diablo how it should be instead of how blizzard thinks we want it to be. its not about what we can do with diablo its how diablo should be. i think diablo should be dark and demented, too much color just ruins it. too much color makes it look like WoW. I agree on the graphics, they look great. and especially all the undead crawling up the walls in the opening scene of the video. that was badass. other places might be dark but thats not diablos style. its all supposed to be creepy in a way and the screenshot of the barb walking in the sun... that just isn't diablo...
Open up d2 and create a new character and play for a half an hour in act 1... and then look at the screen shots of d3... its a huge difference. and in my opinion its different in a bad way.
You people yelling about graphics being all wrong are extremely selfish, have you ever though that there are some people who like the current graphics? How can you people even be sure that you're the majority?

Thats your opinion. I have been playing Diablo since 96 and I am perfectly fine with these changes... I think the game looks and feels fine from what I have seen in the trailer.
Learn to not label a person because they like something that you don't, jerk.

Who sais we are the majority?? this is Diablofans.com one of 4 links posted on blizzard.com/diablo3 if that doesn't make the people of this site the majority. then i dont know what does... you have your right to voice your opinion. vote for goodness sake. but you gotta understand that these are the fans of diablo. and we are pissed off because what we have seen is not what diablo should be... we dont want WoW!! we want D3!
Well if you're not the majority I hardly see the reason to petition, etc etc, because Blizzard wont change it if the majority already likes it.
And comparing D3 to WoW is a bit harsh.
Do you have evidence that otherwise suggests that the "majority" wants to keep d3 how they already have it? because everything that i have seen is saying "Change it".
And the first thing that popped into my head when i saw that first screenshot was "is this WoW or D3?"
I prefer something in between. I don't want the game to be too washed out. Nor do I want it too dark. Diablo 2 wasn't all that dark there was in fact quite a bit of color. For example games like metal gear solid 4 and Armored Core 4 are both very washed out (They only make use of a single grayish shade of color).
I also think darkening should be location specific. For example, it should take place in the cathedral, not necessarily in the outdoors where it is okay for it the be bright and colorful. I think there are areas that are supposed to be dark while other locations can help provide a bit of variety by keeping a wide range of colors... so that we get a real sense of horror when we do enter a location that ought to be dark and scary. For example entering deep inside a gloomy forest should be dark. but upon stepping outside there should be signs of a luscious natural environment.
So the mainland should remain as is. while specific locations or Acts (like act 4 in d2) should focus on darker & gloomier environments.
I think the following picture provides a good rendition of what I'd like to see. Something in the middle:
I think that top right picture looks great compared to the top left. the bottom right isn't as good as the top but still better than the bottom left. Good job Vash.
Periodical update: 1,985 views, 91 to 44 in favor of changing graphics with 135 votes. If people viewing actually voted Blizzard may take note (of the fact that wedo or don't want the graphics to change).
My official stance: While the images are stirring, I find the game to look phenomenal in motion. With the exception of the outside area looking a little bright (contrast/gamma wise), which is obviously intentional (by comparison to the inside area), the colors are great!
This is a petition to either keep or change the current scheme of colors/effects/etc. The outcome of the polling results will represent this communities (at least those whom view and vote) acceptance or refusal of what has been presented to us.
It has been said that Starcraft 2 has incurred changes due to fan based feedback. Diablofans.com is obviously of great importance to Blizzard, so let's make a difference by either inspiring changes or asserting our approval of Blizzards current theming conventions.
Here is a continuation of what I last posted in a poll that has since been closed (This poll shall not be closed):
Edit: Your additional suggested changes (represented by pictures) are to be added to the bottom of this original post for a quick summary of visual opinions; should Blizzard ever come across this and want more information than just the poll results.
Edit: If you know who deserves credit for these edits (and can prove it), let me know so I can add it, please.
These two comparisons are by far the most compelling data. The first picture of the last set comparatively delineates an unrealistic burst of power from the Barbarians weapons; whereas the second picture drips with realism. In fact, these pictures should be the focus of such a campaign as it really supports that more than just the landscapes would benefit, drastically, from such a change.
Succinctly, in my opinion; while the blue is prettier in the first picture of the first set, the second picture depicts more power in the attack.
I'm satisfied with whatever the developers choose and couldn't stop shouting things such as "Oh my gosh!" and "Whooaaa!" as I watched the game play trailer; However, (as Blizzard and the developers seem to understand) the community which will play the game is of extreme importance not only financially, but in the satisfaction of a job well done.
Voice your opinion, but be sure to remember it is just that; an opinion.
Edit: The first stage is inside the Tristram Cathedral. This stage is great without any editing and, while it could be scarier/darker, my major focus is the spells. Considering this, the second stage is located outside (rainbow, foliage), and is reasonably brighter. The edited image seems to represent what it should look like if it were, instead, night time. There are other images that have been edited (see: addendum) which may, more accuratly, represent the outside changes. I still state, however, that the power from the weapons and spells appear far more realistic in the edited images.
Edit2: A lot of people keep stating this is pre-alpha and should be dismissed as inaccurate data. Here, they are quoted as being further along than we knew and, according to the speaker, they are intending to change the color: Stylization over realism/Don't be afraid of color.
Addendum:
there is probably Night and daytimes built into the game like D2 im pretty sure it would kinda be lame to be dark all the time. you want the game to be realastic and daark and evil well there is also a mid day time in real life were the sus is up and getting 2 scoops of raisins so yea constructive but again its too early to bitch about anything wrong with a game. hwn all we have seen is lil glimpse of a alpha.

Valid point, But that is why we are letting it be known that we dont like it now. If they keep making the game in the way that they already are and it ends up like that and nobody said anything then all we can do is hope they patch it. If we voice it now, blizz knows early and can then fix what they know we already dont like. log it now and fix it later rather than have it too colorful later and have to fix something already on the shelves.

Who here on this forum think that RPGs currently out are characterized either by
1) More light fantasy
2) More dark horror
Answer is easy IMO.
