WoW has many GOOD features that makes it pretty much one of the MOST sucessful MMORPG, if not the most.
So i don't see whats wrong with bringing WoW things into D3. Hell, WoW borrowed things from D2 such as sockets <.<.
Don't buy the game if you think its gonna be "bad" because of some red and blue colors and borrowed WoW features.
I dont mind them borrowing some good WoW features
What I do mind though is them borrowing WoW's artstyle
Wilson didnt say he took the Warcraft art to the Diablo franchise. He said the obvious:
if there are any good things in WoW (or other games) that would help increase the overall experience of Diablo (gameplay and more), they wont hesitate to include it. With their own creations its even easier.
Actually even the Blizzard art team admitted to it. Several times. The fuck are you, retarded?
they said there are "some" similarities but they NEVER said "diablo will look like wow" in fact...they said wow's graphics were too cartoony for what they wanted in diablo.
I say wait until the beta is released to make an absolute judgement. I felt pretty good seeing the screen shots for HG:L. Then I played the demo.........:(

They've also admitted to borrowing from D2 for WoW - as well as from other games for both - so your argument of guilt-by-admission is purely inane. I have no doubts that StarCraft has also had its share of giving to and getting from other games. So... who's retarded?
It makes a lot of sense to start with a brighter world and have it darken as the game progresses. I could really go for a sensation, from within the graphics, that things are becoming worse over time. I'm all for it.
Of course, I didn't sit on bnet like a junkie for punishment while Blizzard focused its attention on WoW. I didn't allow myself to get caught up in the D2 crowd's growing jealousy of Blizzard's primary focus on WoW. I do believe that the SC crowd suffered almost as much inattention as D2. I, like most of the friends I had made, were finally displaced by the terminal unruliness and rudeness of a more-than-fair percentage of D2's unscrupulous, battle.net, hack'n'bot/PK crowd - not by Blizzard's inattentiveness. Therefore, I do not carry the WoW hatred that often rears its ugly little head around here. I've seen several cases on this forum where the WoW hatred has just been totally superfluous.
And what if the next gameplay video is just like what we saw in the first one? Why not address that issue when it actually becomes an issue? Why do you feel it necessary to consistently attempt to evoke paranoia?
Although I (given my sense of humor) would find destroying a field of flowers while fighting the Lord of Terror in a sunny meadow to be hilarious.
Over confidence is the rot.
Amen to that!

it's just gonna start another war on graphics
Maybe they could make the meadow level a mod or something for people who wanna good laugh while trying not to die.

But otherwise I am more excited for the new classes and spells.
Making Controversial points one post at a time!
I really hate your sig >.<
Then they would have to change the name of the game to Legend.
That's pretty much what happened in that movie.
Words I hate in Gaming Culture:
Epic

...worse? nothing about the old video was bad, but that doesn't change the fact that they can make the game 300% better until they make the next vid.
and no, nothing can change my mind about this game.
