Stop making troll-like posts. :confused:


See what this thread has devolved into because it has no purpose but to say "THIS SUXXORZ!"

People are insulting each other over post counts.

Why don't you and I have a conversatio nright now then, you all started by trolling me.

I think that this game is influenced heavily by WoW because they're convinced it'll make money and the art style will open venues for more age groups than adult, which is what Diablo is, an adult themed game.

It's not right for you to all expect me to express my opinion how you like it. Stop calling me a troll.

I'm telling you the truth guys, in all your stupidity you have assumed i'm trolling, why can't you see it otherwise. I'd like it if you understood.

That's my point. There is no topic. It's just a thread to say "ZOMG D3 SUXX LULZ!11"

What is this post going to evolve into, what is the point of it?

I don't care anymore, shower time ^______________^

Making your letters bigger doesn't make you cool. I have reported this thread to the mods, and hopefully it will be closed before it breaks out into a full blown war over whatever gets brought up.

I should have thought it through, people are emotional and easily enraged by a blunt response. Learn some self control maybe and get on topic?

How is this NOT trolling?... This serves no point but to incite anger and rage toward one another.

That's not my issue, more so the person who lacks abstract thought.

lol your an idiot

blizzard is obviously going to see that a lot of diablo gamers aren't liking how the game is turning out so far, so they're obviously gonna change up a few things,

dont expect the whole game to change though, they're not just gonna start over for people like you.

i personally, like how the game is turning out so far.

its people like you that are going to ruin the game.

No no don't get me wrong, I think they're on the right track it's just that a few small things are wrong in a big way.

No really i'm not trolling
I'm saying that they're trying to over epic the game and make it Warcraft epic.

The art style of the 3Dimensional generation of Blizzard has seemed a bit cartoony to me. It has always seemed that way to me, from Warcraft3 to WoW, to Starcraft2 and then to Diablo 3. The problem though, with Diablo 3, at least in my opinion is that the textures they are using are too much like the cave stylings of World of Warcraft. The castle environment that should ideally be really dark and mysterious, not colorful and energetic, is (quite obviously) cartoony, but that doesn't mean they won't change it. Blizzard has a notorious reputation of changing things quite a lot. The game really needs the color stylings that the skeptical fans are dishing out, but not to such an extreme as to take out the sensation of the environment and replace it with a gaping maw of darkness and abyss

With the dark grainy colors that everyone is thinking ideally about, things such as trees and spells and structures can still stand out and remain vibrant and resonating and regardless of how hard it might be to change the coloring to a slightly darker theme or how it might make it appear that they need to remake characters with more details. The coloring theme being darker and more mysterious would help quite a lot to convey the emotions of the game and not come off as a mini-WoW because the instances and environments in that game were trying to paint a picture of a colorful cartoony high fantasy world where racial stereotypes are funny and everything grim is surely a jest. "In living color"

The environment coloring is very important. I can think of only one example that truely stands out as an example of a missing element that compromised the quality of the game in a similar way. Command and Conquer 3, it did not have the proper music, it needed Frank Klepacki's style (They figured that out with Red Alert 3, thank god). People don't say it (hell, maybe i'm the only one) but the music in C&C3 and Generals just sucked. The Techno Industrial theme that Klepacki strung together fit C&C1-2 and Red Alert 1-2. This is in my view similar in scope to D3's issue, it might seem small and overlookable but the subtle things stand out later on, and that's where Blizzard Products stand the best, the tests of time. To make it look like the Scarlet Monestary won't help at all, it will bring into question the feeling for the game, that is why I think D3 will need the dark gothic look so the progression could be true to itself and to symbolically represent the growing uncertainty of the Diablo world and it's distinctive difference from Warcraft and Starcraft. I mean honestly why was my first thought when I saw the game "Warcraft 4 featuring Bruce Campbell as Mediev":thumbsup:

I really hope they change it a little. I watched the Q'n'A and I got the feeling they missunderstood something maybe (It's entirely possible that I'm wrong). Perhaps the Diablo teams decided to use 2d graphics with rich colors because it was, at the time, the most efficient way of making it look good and that's fine but now this is just cheap in my opinion, they have more resources than before, they were limited where they simply are not now, it's true that it would take longer but the product would be all the more closer to perfection. "Why didn't anyone mention the Barbarian Smith mentioning his idea for guns"

In the long run I see them appealing to our doubt and darkening it up. (They're giving this site extra attention it would seem) That's a 60% probability from my point of view. and the other 40? Nothing in the way of retexturing.
(Don't take this seriously but just consider it.)

I'm just blurting that out, maybe this kind of thread is over done, I appologize. I never share my views on games with others but I felt compelled to this time.

In all likelyhood they'll announce Diablo 3 a little while after Starcraft 2 and the release of the WoW expansion.

You guys are kinda being stupid about it, Blizzard lets out tons of clues about upcoming products, they leave it up to use to sift through them of course.

Facts support truths.

The truth is, as someone has said, the Diablo team is gone, the second team was mostly different anyway.

So the question is: What are you seeing that can't be explained?

3 facts confirm Diablo 3.

1: Diablo3.com was bought near the anniversery of Diablo 1 and 2.

2: They've said in the past that they don't plan to let their games go untouched for a decade (They were quite explicit on this)

3: Common doctrine in Blizzard is to shift most of the production resources to other projects once they've mostly completed the current project. (World of Warcraft began production just as Warcraft 3 was finished *Not when it was released but FINISHED*)

Starcraft 2 is in debugging right now, so that's about it.

3 for numbah 3

Despite this, however, you can't help but feel that it's going to be stupid and cartoony though..

It'll have that genuine feeling though, wont it?
