1. If they remove attribute points, the game should be boycotted
2. A Diablo Fan both hates and loves with a passion THE "TETRIS" inventory.
Ask yourself when you look back on D1 or D2 what do u remember first?
Then you'll realize, what needs to stay the same in D3
If they remove attribute points they will replace it with a better system, cause lets face it, attribute points are not the "best". I trust the developers to be intuitive and creative
I don't really care how I carry my items, just that I can.
Blizzard screwed up with WC3. I don't understand nor find acceptable a blind fanboyism of Blizzard. They have made several successful titles, but it's just a company and they can screw up just like anyone else, and I think that Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 will both be mediocre games.
Quote from "Corwyn" »
I played WC2 to death, never even touched WC3, never gave it chance with graphics like a children's book.
Really? I thought WC3 was a great game. It might not have been the best RTS ever made (SC), but it was/is a solid game with a better than average storyline. The graphics didn't detract from it at all for me.
And, I mean, the graphics of WC1 and WC2 were very "cartoony". The cinematics might have been quasi-realistic, but the actual units and building were done in a very cartoony manner.
Blizzard Entertainment in all their safe marketing and neutral coloring, have killed the spirit of Warcraft and maybe even Starcraft 2. Diablo 3 is almost salvagable but we need to go out on the offensive asap, the petition isn't going to cut it, a heavy emphasis on the alienation of the community by this choice must be clear to them.
An aggressive and forceful approach maybe, but that's just a loose thought.
All I can say is... wow. And I don't mean World of Warcraft, I mean "wow", i.e. the sound you make when you see or hear something that stuns you and leaves you speechless.
Is everyone on this site like this? You do realize you're talking about a video game, right?

Beginning to hate all the people complaining about the Art Direction.
Im so mad with the way the attitude of making it a "fast paced" game is being implemented. Nothing wrong with fast paced, but the way in which they are doing it is resulting in the stripping of components of Diablo that make it what it is. Make it "easy", fast paced and brainless for all of us with ADD who can't pause every once in a while and regroup - that would cause us to lose focus and attention!
No, we must have seisure-inducing color flashes without stop to maintain our attention. We dont want any challenges. Even when you're just standing there, have the weapons spew lightning and flames, in case we lose focus of the game. Take away the slotted inventory.. that would challenge those of us unable to stack a shelf at home with books or pack a travel bag for vacation. God forbid you have to stop every once in a while and actually LOOK at the items you found. Honestly I am sick to my very being. Its like taking something precious and special, and trampling all over it. Blizzard I think used a team of WoW developers make this game. I understand their money came from WoW, but Diablo gave money for Wow to be started, too! The state of this game fails in so many aspects in my view.
The thing is, these things are deliberate changes on Blizzard's part, not accidents, or things that need more work, or the inability of their staff to implement things. They did this on purpose!!!
People say "inventory does not make Diablo" or "Graphics do not make the game", or "Diablo is not about this or that". But you know what? There comes a point where so many things add up that soon we are talking about a game on our hands that is _not_ Diablo. The scary thing is, a large number of people seem to not want a Diablo, but a World of Warcraft with the theme of Diablo. Maybe because people wish Blizzard made a World of Diablo instead (Diablo themed, but like Wow) ?
Personally I will keep watching what they do to the game, but as it looks, I think this title is not going to be something I play. The agony of it will render me unable to even look at it.
I, as a WoW player (thats right Ive been a longtime addict), wish WOW had never happened. It has spread into Diablo like a plague, a malignant cancer. We think Blizzard can't fail? Well for what its worth this is going to be one title that I will not have the privilige of enjoying.
Maybe I am overreacting, but the more I watch the gameplay video the more I feel this way.
I for one am not on the bandwagon of "even if they dont fix it i will still buy it"
This is just me though. I am sure many disagree, but just throwing out my thoughts on this for what they are worth. I cant not voice myself, its too much to keep inside!
LOL at you. YOU just like all of US have seen 20 minutes of gameplay. take a chill pill homie!
Another complaint based on "Guessing" what the game will be like in 2010 or 2011.
Why don't you guys get together and design your own D3! Apparently your "opinions" will make a game better than Blizzard can make theirs.
really, where in hell do you pull these outrageous claims of a release on 2010 or even 2011!! two and a half years after announcment!! jesus christ get a clue
Pretty soon, the threads are going to boil down to a bunch of emo children crying and saying they are going to end it all if Blizzard doesn't change it to how they want the game.
+1 to whoever told them to make their own D3.
Let Blizzard make theirs.

Who have said that? That's right, none. It's you who feel hurt, or so it seems, because someone else percieved it different than you did. I don't anyone is trying to tell anyone here that they're blind and lack a perception of things, atleast I hope so. In the end this all come down to opinions and definitions.
LOL he was joking. you know...a joke... ha... ha. Some poeple on this forum may god have mercy on thier souls. i swear.
I think this attitude of pre-emptive bashing should be seen in all aspects of our society.
If your professor sees your rough draft and doesn't like it, he should fail you, even if the final paper is to be due 3 months later. Cops should be able to ticket you because your car looks fast. Movie reviewers should write full movie reviews from the movie's preview. Because based off of a 20 minute gameclip we can discern every single solitary aspect of the game and thus have all the knowledge required to write a proper in depth review. The sad part is none of these "critics" seem to have much to say about actual game play other than, inventory icons.

I don't mind normal being easy, the challenge comes in later in nightrmare and hell, and i have a feeling they will havea 4th difficult level in diablo 3.
i will be playing hardcore, so an easier first play through is much appriciated.
We didn't even have forums, communities, complaints, opinions and feedback from people back in the day, and Blizzard still produced TOP NOTCH products for us gaming geeks!
yet another complaint thread. i'll say this and be gone. methinks is one word.
and i'll add this: TRUST BLIZZARD! have they ever done you wrong yet?
WoW :(. An MMO based in the Warcraft universe that somehow managed to not appeal to me and, despite me trying my hardest to like it for a year hoping it would get better it simply didn't? I don't see how they could do it :(.
No matter how much you moan and complain here, you are just one person. I'm sure Blizzard would change to attract tens of thousands of new players rather than keep you or the other 5 people who agree with you. This isnt Diablo 2, this is Diablo 3, there are things that are going to change because it's been 8 years. I wont comment on graphics, but changes to inventory and weapon graphics are welcomed changes for me. Without stuff like this, D3 would be D2, just more story and better graphics.
