@AsaTJ - What I'm getting at, is you can put fake emails that dont even exist in apparently, therefore not needing to set them up.
I used a fake name....
I think that the majority of player don't/won't care. I mean, when I first saw it, i though "it looks like diablo, just 3d". But something was off. I would like to see a darker approach to the graphics, mainly in the tombs/when it was raining. Ultimately, as long as the gameplay is all great, I'm in.
you know that changing this is a big deal.... when i 1st saw it i new it wus d3 cuz the look of it.... shit and if you do look there is a lot of blood in it already.. only thing that needs to be fixed is the big ass sholder pads, if you look at the picks some nub made closely you can tell there done very poorly; the ones they made darker
This could hurt or help the game. If they have their own direction and then decide due to fans wanting a change, it could delay the game even longer. If they do decide to make some subtle changes that would be cool, but the problem is we are looking at a 20 minute gameplay trailer and making judgements on that, what if the rest of the game is different? what if the setting gets darker and more brooding as the game moves along. I think it is way to quick to pass judgement on the art style this early. Just my opinion.

I agree 100%. Here is what I said earlier in this thread.

I think the petition was jumping the gun a bit. I didn't realize that designing a game was done by committee these days. If that's the case- it will never be done.
I hope Blizzard has the foresight to listen, but then continue down the path that is best for the game (and not for self-appointed committee members).
Because, with the amount of poo-flinging and tantrums from the vocal minority does not make for a better game.
Yes, I said vocal minority.
The game, when released, will become "Game of the Year" with over 1 million units sold. A petition is not going to stop it from achieving this milestone- nor will you not buy it when it is released.
I understand your heart is in the right place, but put down the lit torches and be patient. Blizzard is not going to fail us- all their products go through the progression. Diablo 3 will be no different.
One last thing, be grateful for what is coming- and let your voice be heard for what you also like about the game. I mainly hear the negativity- and it sounds trite & screechy.

the problem is, its not just the lightining
to my view, the textures are soft to a level that i would rather call them paint work
the huge size of the soulder pads wont change over the course of the game, they tend to actually get bigger lol
to me those open dungeons, that look like rooftops like someonelse said, just dont seem right, i liked the contrast between teh open surface areas and the clastrophobic dungeons
imo, those green and blue lights on teh dungeon are the second best (after shoulder pads bigger than teh head) example of heavy cartoonish feel
If it takes an extra year to get the character models right then so be it. We have been waiting for years for the D2 successor as it is. The old time diehard Diablo fans want a worthy successor not something that looks like Zelda or WoW. The art panel says that they wanted to make the characters look "Epic". We do not need them to look Epic. We need them to BE Epic. It actually looks better when a small warrior is battling a huge monster and wins against all odds. The armor and weapons should be in proper scale.
Just cause the kiddies love WoW graphics does not mean there is not a whole bunch of other more mature players (with money) out there that won't buy up a ton of games that are not so cutesy. Besides the WoW players will go back to that game after a short stint at playing Diablo 3 anyway. It is just too different from what they know and are comfortable with.
If you want Diablo with cute graphics then play Mythos. Please Blizzard spend the time to get this right!

Your mileage may vary...
diablo 3 will probably go over 1M copies, but 75% of these fans have never participated a community. i have about 10 friends that are fans to the point of willing spend alot of money on one copy (its really expensive here in brazil about 100 bucks.........) but all of them have no ideia about all these discussion forums, and never heard about the petition
we Are the hardcore fanbase, and they can take the petition into consideration, though the fact you can sign in several times may ruin it

didnt it work for SC2 huh?!
$100 USD? That is a little expensive. Hopefully Battle.net 2 (2nd Generation) will still be free.
All everyone wants is a great solid game that will stand the test of time.
PS: I hope Diablo 3 gets cancelled now if your going to complain so much.
What in the hells is your problem? You hope Diablo gets canceled because (15,000 and counting) people don't like the direction it's going in? You're not a fan, you're a sycophant and a sniveling apologist for Blizzard. For all intensive purposes, we've been shown a continuation of a franchise taken on by a company who had very little (if any) hand in creating previous installments. Blizzard is not infallible, yet I trust them to make a GREAT game regardless. Do you think all of this rabble rousing and hubub would exist if we were not AVID fans of the game? Of course not... stop acting so daft. Also, Blizzard isn't a damn gaming monopoly; they listen and respect their fans. They don't have their finger on the big, red, shiny abort button ready to push on the first sign off dissent.
I think the gameplay video and screenshots are sufficient enough to make a judgement on the art. Why? Because its cartoonish, its a bad version of WoW as the artwork stands. Even if we're only seeing 1% of the game, we can see what a tile looks like, what a rock looks like, what the shadows and lighting look like, what trees and grass look like. That's all we need to make judgements.
It'd be interesting to hear what Blizzard has to say about all this.
I think the game just needs some more detailed textures, and less of a light radius. If they take all the color out, people will be sourly disappointed with the results, no matter what they think they want right now.
It's wierd, I would have taught that a petition site woul have email proofing and IP checks...

Nope. They just send an email to the address. It does not have to be yours.
But, the petition is still recorded.
Barb SMASH!! :thumbsup:

That converts to $62 USD
I would imagine the game will be priced about $50-$60 USD when it is released in the US.
So, you guys are going to pay just a little more than we are.
