My question is, whether or not the art style is changed/color pallette altered.... are you really not going to play anymore? If that's really your main beef with it I think Blizzard doesn't have much to worry about...
I think it's fine if we reach a medium between darkness and color, not just being plain ugly.
That is what a lot of us are trying to do. Except other people don't know how to leave us to it. Instead a lot of them come off with:
"Shut up noobs."
"Stop your whining and don't buy the game that you've been waiting 8 years for."
"Stop being emo and gothic. Wrist-cutters."
"Try shopping for Cradle of Filth and HIM merchandise, instead."
I don't think anyone has said so far that they want the game to be 100% black and white.
500 signatures? I don't think Blizzards going to change their game for a very vocal minority. If it was thousands maybe, but 500, most likely not.
I'm not worried about the gameplay god damnit, I'm worried about the gfx
It's not warcraft-like. It's fantasy & Gothic themed. Both games are in the same time period (medieval). So they will have some of the same architectures (dungeons, castles, rustic villages, gargoyles, etc.)
Now, on the graphical look. If they came out with a 2-D interface they would be crucified for it. I can already hear it... "it's too dated... too old... so 90's."
Have you seen the video from the Art department on how they came to this look & feel?
It hasn't even been 24 hours since the petition was posted. In a week, there should be more than enough signatures to get the point across.
Blizzard is going to sell 1 million units in the first year of the game being released.
How much influence is a couple thousand on a petition going to make?
More power to you, but they seem to have very methodical in their feel of the game. According to the video I watched (see my post above)- this is their 3rd generation of the stylized look of Diablo 3.

So was DII, DI, Warhammer Fantasy, Medieval TW, Lord of the rings, Age of Conan and so on. Still, somehow, I don't remeber WoW being an influential part in their development.

I agree on that one, 2D, as much as I like it, is dead, 3D can do just as good, their 3D models and environment are plenty fine, they just need to make it themed right both in colors and in architectural stile. Happy statues don't really give it credit and neither do rainbows.
This thread is so depressing. A company creates something it really wants to make in a style it likes and people demand they change it.
I tell you what. Go make a game that you like and then you can play D3 if you want to or you can choose not to buy it in protest.
Could you be any more of a brat making a petition to change a game that isn't released and you have no part of? Guess you should have applied for all those jobs for team behind Diablo 1 and 2 all these years.

Who is Blizzard making the game for Shere Khaan? Surely not themselves. Let the Diablo community decide. It's so easy, I'm telling you. What sets Blizzard apart and the reason they make such great games is that they have allowed the gaming community decide in the past. You must not have been there.

The petition has only just begun...
They are gaming gods and shall strike down upon you. I think whatever they do with the graphics will be fine, I just want good gameplay.
Hopefully you can, though at this tine I doubt there is such info.

A lot of users are signing it.

Willing to help xfers/mods.
True, they haven't even shown later areas of the game though. That's probably one of the best point's I've heard lol.

But as far we know they just started an invasion. It not like in one day the worlds gonna look like its been raining blood and fire.
So was DII, DI, Warhammer Fantasy, Medieval TW, Lord of the rings, Age of Conan and so on. Still, somehow, I don't remeber WoW being an influential part in their development.

Yes, but that doesn't mean the people that were already there couldn't at least contain the demons till heroes arrive.

Ya but the demons would have to be there for awhile for the environment to look ravaged and gloomy
