Light radius is "there" and there is no explanation for its existence. Your character has no torch but, no lantern, no medieval flashlight. But light radius not returning was one of the major complaints about D3.
I didn't know you had a PHD in demonology.:rolleyes:
That's a reasonable point. Given that all the characters have some type of magic power, enchanted armor/weapons, etc, it's much more understandable to have a light radius to me.
As a side note, it's nice to discuss things with someone who is civil, has constructive points, and a sense of humor (not that you aren't either Dae). Time to watch the olympics though.

"Because "half-assed" is not a "style"." - DragoonWraith, champion of character customization and legimitate art direction in D3
Red is a color of evil. Greenish/blue, however, is a scooby doo tactic at best, and a direct WoW transfer at worst.
Authors throughout the ages, great authors, authors like William Shakespeare speak about the color green and it's reference to evil, poison, eeriness, and the like. It has always been this way and it will always stay this way. Certain greens evoke a sickly feeling when people see them. And what does angel do? He compares green lighting to scooby-doo.
Shows how much he knows about what he is saying.
We have a guy saying that making things green is a scooby doo "tactic" (whatever that means). And even went as far as to call it a "WoW transfer" as well when many, many, games use greenish lighting in their level designs.
Green aura in D2 meant that you had been poisoned, perhaps the creatures in that dungeon had been poisoned with some other foul concoction that exudes a green aura, its not outside the bounds of a fantasy realm such as sanctuary. I still don't see why green aura is a no go, I mean would red aura be ok?

Yeah murder, honestly the red looks much better. It could at least be tied in some way to the torches.
Edit: I'm going to guess that all of creepsville's posts in this thread after I've ignored him have been personal attacks directed against me and anything I say. Oooooh how I wish I could see them =P

If the red and blue shots work then the green one does as well. I wonder what the green haters have to say about that...
It's just lighting. Questioning it's source, especially in a fantasy game, shows a willful intention to not suspend your disbelief and therefore you won't allow yourself to be immersed in the game. Blizzard didn't fail to do their job - you did. And if you can't suspend your disbelief then why are you so into fantasy games in the first place?

This doesn't really make sense, it doesn't really make sense and isn't backed with reasoning on why.
Dont get me wrong i LOVE the direction of D3, but just b/cuz some don't like it right now doesn't mean that they are bad fans or "failing to do a job" what???

Reread what I said and read what you responded with. When did BAD FANS come up? Do you even think before you type shit like this?

Yes i do. You implied it, and if you didn't intend to then you should have taken into consideration how someone else would take it. The logic there would be "Not doing Job as fan"="bad fan". So go ahead and overreact to what everyone says. Rofl, your so damn hostile towards just about everybody.
You gave an opinion with no basis, you never explained "why"

"You this and you that! You did this! You implied this!"
Stop.
I didn't imply a thing.
Stop trying to rationalize a connection that isn't there. Don't think that using the word "logic" gives you a leg to stand on.
I don't have to back up what common sense gives us. Part of any fantasy is suspending your disbelief. It's up to the viewer to decide to do so or not.
So let's get back on topic instead of you trying to cover that you can't comprehend what I'm typing most of the time.

Rofl, its not making a connection that isn't there! Its on you for not taking into consideration how I would respond.
And thats just your opinion, it's not common sense, maybe to you but not to others. I dont think Fantasy games qualify in a category for common sense. Some people, a lot of people feel that it's up to the designers and that there are graphic designers for a reason. On one end yes it is a fantasy game and a lot of it depends on the interest of the player but at the other end, this isn't D&D the board game. Its a VIDEO game, the ambiance brings so much to the game that people have a right to complain if they feel the graphics and lighting do not suite the game no matter how monotonous the complaints get.

Saying that I said that people are being bad fans and then connecting things that aren't there to come to a "logical" conclusion that I am claiming that people are "bad fans" IS connecting things that aren't there. It is what it is. Stop trying to rationalize it. Stop trying to worm out of it. I think you simply didn't get what I posted and that's not a bad thing,... until you start putting words into my mouth.

This is what I said. I will explain it to you as if you are a child so that you will understand:
If you aren't willing to suspend your disbelief then you can't appreciate the effects of a piece of fantasy media.
I said this in reference to people complaining that the green light in the game play video "has no source". The light works. To question it shows a distinct pigheadedness to question things just for the sake of complaining and a total lack of suspending disbelief.
EDIT: And suspending your disbelief when viewing a movie or fantasy is common sense. It's something we have all agreed upon as a race. Either you do it or you don't. And look at how much thread we just wasted because you misunderstood me and went off about how I need to back up my opinion...ha. Just let me have my opinion on people who are so close minded that they can't stand the sight of creepy green lighting in a dungeon.

Fine, have it your way. i will reword everything i just said but it will still be the same thing.
The way you came off is as if those dumb fans are not good at being fans of Diablo because of their lack of ability to as you put it "suspend disbelief". I'm not putting words in your mouth, I'm telling you how it comes off. It's like analyzing a literary work. You can get soo many things from it that might not actually be there by the intent of the author.
And at this point the amount of thread wasted on arguing about how or why complaining about the graphics may be dumb boring and or old is more entertaining than watching another 50 people throw in their two cents with "I HATE THESE GRAPHICS ZOMG IM GONNA BLOW BLIZZ WIT MA LAZER SHOOP DA WHOOP IF THEY DONT CHANGE IT". Yes it gets really old hearing people complain about that, so why not argue about complaining about their complaining.
It's clear as to the direction of the art and continuing to listen to more pages about how they dont like the direction seems to be even more of a waste in my eyes.

Though the term "light radius" means it's the radius of the light.

It has always been this way and it will always stay this way. Certain greens evoke a sickly feeling when people see them. And what does angel do? He compares green lighting to scooby-doo.

Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
Lmao, I actually think the area AROUND him looks better.
Only because the red matches the flames so it seems appropriate though.
I see the point though, one color is really no more silly than another.
Now, the original:
It just looks better IMO.
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
Lmao, doesn't look that bad either for some reason... just the cold dark kind of feel for a dungeon.
Dunno why the green erghs me.
Try a green overlay on the regular screenshot so I can see how different it looks please?
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
I meant no sarcasm in my previous posts, was actually being serious.
The green one... isn't bad, just isn't how I'd want to play the game. If the WHOLE dungeon looked like that.
The red just looked like the appropriate light for that fiery hammer, the blue just gave the feeling of a cold dreary dungeon.
The green, I didn't really get a impression from that, good or bad.
The current some green is a better option all in all.
Love your signature by the way.
I give you... gay disco bar lighting!
I love my siggy, its so spatially efficient, and cool on so many levels.
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.
Lmao. Nice.
Yeah murder, honestly the red looks much better. It could at least be tied in some way to the torches.
