(Also, I think it's really amazing how tribal he actually looks. Nothing too outlandishly unrealistic ftw.)

First off, we now know exactly what class and gender they will be revealing over the next few weeks.

Original Thread by EndersGameD3: New Item Sets Every Tues & Thurs!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo... OoooOoOoOoOoOOOOO... ooo... OoOooOooo!!!
I never heard that they were taking out leggings. Any idea why?
Artisan trailer has pants just below the belt and above the boots.
YOU ARE FULL OF LIES AND MISINFORMATION!!11!1!1!1
I wonder if boots all have an alternative image for him where they look like little ankle braclets/coverings/armor.
Hm.. yea interesting point.. Could very well be that they will do that. If they are going for a bare foot witch doctor. It does seem a little bit strange though, even though it fits with the image of a with doctor it's not very practical. Maybe boots just isn't included in the set that they show off here.
Let's hope it looks better from a higher camera view.
I think the same thing could be said about the lower level in all games. If you look at other Blizzard games that feature armor like Diablo 2 and WoW, you would say that the lower level armor looks really bland and unimaginative.
I would actually be kind of upset if I was wearing things that looked really awesome at level 10-20. I think it's very important that items start out looking very normal and then gain size, color, graphics, etc. as they become more powerful and higher in level.
That's my opinion at least.
I would however be VERY upset if this was the Witch Doctor's high end set. That would be a pretty big let down.
Oh I see what you did there. Making the picture work then making me look like I am mentally challenged. Ok Mr.GENIOUS!! lol
Just a thought =]
Yeah I do find your pic looks better. Good job you should work for blizz.
this exactly.
environment plays a major part to how you'll see your character. darker environment with darker colored characters and darker colored monsters (as quite a few have been suggesting since the announcement) equals to seeing nothing and enjoying even less.
Hrm... I am undone
I thought I recalled not seeing them anymore in favor of regression to Diablo II days without pants as equipment. Oh well.
That is exactly what I aimed on doing today. I have a hit list in the backstage forums. Seriously. (Don't look now, Scyber, it's invisible.)
Please tell me that was sarcasm. If I see anymore of that, I seriously might explode
You won't be able to see like any of those changes when you're actually playing (though I guess you could just use PS to put that stuff on a game character, in which case I would say your PS-ed photo has no credence since you're mixing two entirely different art mediums- pictures and live 3D), and with the in-game lighting, I seriously doubt that that slight amount of tonal change is really going to make a difference. I think it looks fine as it is.
