The top sentence ive highlited, sorry but to stick to your guns?, look what happened to HGL they tryed to stick to their guns with forced instances and crapy trading and look what happened to them, its the same with most other games, if you stick to your guns on shit that YOU yourselves want in the game, doesnt mean the 6million + people who buy your games want what you want cause atm we DONT.
As for the corpse staying and performance issues, do your home work the average gamer these days has a fricking core duo or quad core with at least an 8600+ card corpse staying on the ground is not going to effect our performance, i for one spent good money on a new computer to be able to run all the next gen games out nd coming out, so please enough of this bs performance crap and just fix it.
And as many others have stated aswell, we bloody well hope your making the game darker cause all im seeing atm with these graphics is a drawn background picture with a 3d rendered character and its pissing me off.
Oh and before i forget floating numbers?, please put an option in the game to take these off at least i dont wanna see floating numbers coming off me 24/7.
Now, what, again? Ok.
Stick to their guns - they got 6+millions customers, you are one down, too bad. Guess what - 5,5+ millions AT THE VERY LEAST like the way THEY DO, not the way YOU THINK THEY SHOULD DO. That's just bs. So, by "we" you mean "we, minority who really doesn't value a job well done". Wish they just say "w/e" to you guys.
Core duo and quad core, 8600+ card, blablabla mimimi, what? The game will be released tomorrow? Bs performance crap?! More about it in the last paragraph.
Darker game - brightness & colors off. You can do that, I believe: if you can't, just ask anybody with a hand and fingers and put on the sig, because you pseudodark wannabes are pissing me off.
Oh, and before I forget, floating numbers, performance crap, seeing floating numbers off 24/7? I finally understand it, now. So do the world a favor: kill yourself or get a life.

You may have bought a new computer, and I may have bought a new computer. Hundreds upon hundreds of us have bought new computers for that reason.
But you forget that one of Blizzard's goal's is to make games available, and enjoyable to everyone. This is why all Blizzard games will run on MAC, and why ALL Blizzard games have decently low system requirements.
The art change isn't just for that purpose either, it so Blizzard can lower the rating for D3 from Mature, to Teen. Making it available to more people.
Your blatant disregard for people is somewhat disturbing. Not everyone can fork over $1000 or more for a nice PC. Blizzard knows this, and thus they have no desire to make the game demanding.
Blizzard doesn't care what YOU want. They care what everyone wants, and most importantly, they care what they want as well. They have desires of what they would like to see in a game. You all forget one very important thing. The programmers that make your games??
I think Blizzard need to hurry there asses up and use there own judgment on how the games is meant to be. They know what the hardcore fans want, they know what the other 99% want, just do it!
They say they've spent 5 years already on the game by the look of it it's gonna be 5 more. People always sayin they'll wait as long as it takes for the game to be perfect, by that time the game will be outdated.
A good example of us paying attention though was the concern and thread about corpses not sticking around long enough. I read that thread, brought it up, and some discussion was happening on it. Later our lead tech artist Julian was reading through the replies, and got some ideas of how we may want to keep corpses on screen a little longer. Now we're playing around with some changes that shouldn't have a huge performance hit, while still keeping the corpses on screen for variable amounts of time. Hopefully it works out.
Is he talking about diablofans.com forums or just forums in general? If diablofans then I made that thread, or one of them anyway if there is more than one.

He must have read my comment in that thread he's talking about where I mentioned that Titan Quest / Titan Quest : Immortal Throne with it's advanced physics and graphics, was able to keep every dead creature on the ground, along with every item, with no slow down or performance hit for the most part, which is also in one large streamed world with no load times. But yeah, I'm glad to see they are reading our comments and actually taking it to Diablo. Atleast when Diablo 3 releases, we'll know part of it's glory was due to it's fans.

I think I would cry myself to sleep every night if blizzard lowered DIABLO 3 to teen instead of mature.... this is freakin the diablo series.. please dont cheapen the experience of its true fan base because you want it to be more suited for a wider audience.

There's a reason blizzard has a reputation for making good games; they tend to make good design decisions, and don't release a game unless it's good. They learned from Ghost not to announce a game unless it was pretty damn good already. Also, since it's 3d with physics the 50 dead cows of D2 on the ground can't be reenacted since another cow/wall falling on top of that pile will force millions of interactions, each of which needs to be calculated, about 100 interactions PER BODY. Put it this way, it takes a day for a supercomputer to calculate a car crash interaction; there's A LOT of variation when it comes to physics simulation.

so many people are saying that we all should just trust blizzard because they always make a good game. well, in that sense I do trust them... im sure whatever comes out next year with the diablo title will be good and fun. however, what i think all of us "fanboys" are worried about is not that the game won't be good... its that the game just won't really be in tune with the diablo series.
sure there are different audiences now then there were 10 years ago, but blizzard can literally make any game it wants for every audience... this next, and hopefully best, installment to the diablo series should be a true diablo in all its glory. just enhanced and built upon, not changed or tampered with in any way.
but, the team making the game has changed and i guess so has the direction of this great series.
i trust blizzard to make a great game.. i just dont know if i trust that this game will be a true to the diablo series.
i didnt mean that as in no 10 year olds would play... i meant it like if its teen instead of mature (as D2 was).. then clearly the content of the game will show that.
"Starcraft announced summer of 96, it was released summer of 98.
Diablo II announced July, 1998, it was released July 5, 2000
WArcraft III, announced August of 1999. Released July 3, 2002.
World of Warcraft, announced September 2, 2001. Released November 23, 2004."
using this, we're lookin at prolly 2-3 years here :/
*snip*
at least make some kinda option that you can shut off critter kills. you know, some ppl are very sensitive about that kinda stuff. critter killing doesnt belong in these kinda games. it changes the whole game dramatically.
No, critter killing changes your feeling of the character dramatically. You want to feel like your char is baddass? Kill a bunny, its free and bam, your char seems badass (well, mentally). Want your character to seem nice and lovely, then don't kill the critter. Its all up to you really; they're not in any way forcing you to kill critters, they're just letting you do it if you want.
Hell, if you feel strongly enough about it, you can roleplay your char as some super-nice person who doesn't group with critter killers. I don't really think anyone else would mind?
They wouldn't make D3 rated Teen, for one thing there is bloody explosions(critical hits), head bitten off by boss, and plus a game being rated M doesn't stop kids from playing them. Look at all the people who play grand theft auto games, those games are terrible(strippers, bad language, killing people, etc.) but people who are not 17 play them. I don't find a change to a Teen rating to be a valid concern as it is not likely.

It seems like they still have A LOT of work on this title..
And i mean, a lot..
It seems like they havn't even started to make so many things in the game, seriously, it looks like they just have been started working on the game like just couple of month's from now or at least half a year.
Diablo 3 is graphically and artistically great, there needs to be variety in the game, instead of only plain and dark areas!
+Wouldn't it be better and more interesting if from a sunny beautiful day, mist starts covering the screen, rain starts falling, thunders and lightning striking and it starts to darken, instead of constant dark!?
