Why wouldn't you want them to change it? They would keep the exact same colours, gameplay and skills you just would have a higher detailed texture for everything. Don't like it? turn down the settings.. I dont see why blizzard needs to gimp their games because mom can't pay for your graphics card and ram.
edit- Also why does it seem like the character is in a spotlight no matter where he is , he illuminates the exact same amount.
Believe it or not, games before WoW used Bags...they're quite a common Fantasy RPG element.
And before that games used tabs to pass between 1st inv to the 2nd, your point is?
Why copy from WoW and not other games...(wow use socked like places in inv to put bags in unlike other rpg's)
Everything in wow used to please the majority, average in all categories and not best in anything (IMO) I very much deslike wow approach and attitude and it's blindly followers.
I prefer diablo to copy from other, older and successful rpgs than WoW(Torment,Baldur's Gate etc.)
Dunno call me wow basher but after playing it 6 months the "magic" is over and it become did this done that, maybe It's just me.
Mom can't pay for my graphics card and ram because I'm not some Kid who lives with his parents...
And go play D2 again, or D1...the character always creates their own light...
Clearly if you knew anything about D2 and D1, you knew there was items with +% to light radius... in D3 demo however it looks like the character is lit up the same amount no matter where. If he was in a pitch black room you could still see him
Yea I too believe we can judge better with second sets of pics/videos, hopefully improved with some elements mentioned in the "whiners" posts.=P
Anyway I think they need to post new update fast or ppl will lose hope.
Can't they see the game stand in the balance between being the game which lives for the next 8 years and a game which will be played 1 run and be put on the shelf.
True, but in the demo, you can clearly see he is extremely illuminated, to the point where it looks like he is under a spotlight.. but who knows maybe he is?
naa Light radios goes hand with hand with dark theme background remove one and you should remove the other cause it's useless.
thats why I hope they bring back the LR.
Good point about the flow of the game, but to the RP'ers and other players of the d1 and d2 (not the " I have to get to lvl 99 rush my char mule items!!!" kind of player) i believe that light radius was an added bonus to the game.
So then they are going for gameplay over graphics. I strongly support gameplay > graphics , but possibly adding bump textures
edit (hit refresh for some reason)--- will increase the overall look of the game. The gameplay looks great btw from what we have seen, but it does feel like the barb attacks a little too slow? but thats alright
Well I can understand stuff like Dim Vision in D2 (which could be very good if you were playing something a bit different like a Melee Necro), to limit the light radius of monsters etc. But without stuff like that I just think having a very limited field of vision slows the game down personally.
I'd rather they keep the dark theme in the backgrounds etc but have everything illuminated enough so that I can see the background and any incoming monsters rather than having a low light radius so that I can't see the lush backgrounds etc.
Oh but this is all the fun! can't you remember the times when you walked into the tomb and was little worried to enter the room cause in the other room you almost died and your merc died...:X you can't see ahead so it brings out the fun. now imagine it with d3 capabilities, pure awesome. shame for now it wasn't implanted cause the LR is not present. you can see it by not having shadows.

The game is in alpha and I would not consider the graphics shown in the demo to be final. It will probably end up looking more near to Starcraft 2 considering they are using the same engine. We just need to give them time.
And I am so sick of the warcraft refrences that I want to stab some of you all in the face, but I will restrain myself because you are allowed your opinion and I am allowed mine. The problem is a lot of you are too damn stubborn and yell over those who may have a valid argument. You all remind me of Glenn Beck. There! I said it....
I agree that was fun, but it did take away from the flow of the game. Which seems to be a primary concern for the Devs at the moment.
I think they'll add more monsters arriving from out of nowhere (ghouls and skeletons from the Demo Vid) to compensate for this, as this would have the same sort of effect, not knowing whats going to be in the next room, it looks empty but then ghouls scramble down the walls and swarm you.
as I see it the "flow" doesn't get hurt by it, if only a little.
The game isn't going to last you 3 months of constant lvling (per difficulty) so what's the point in hurting the flow a little...Im not playing god of war I want it a little more. and D2 was fast imo how long it took you to finish normal? or nightmare? not long huh.
well if you know you have the right eq to handle anyone you won't be so afraid to enter anywhere.

I don't know what game you were playing, where It's about beating the game, and then you're done, but it sure the hell wasn't Diablo 2.
Aside from beating it once to get the Cube, it was all about the loot, and Cows of course, MOOOOOO lol.
PS. If you're not obsessed with loot hunting, and maxing a char potential by doing so, not to mention PvPing, as well as crushing monsters with your newly found power, Diablo in general is probally not the game for you lol, but I never knew anybody who didn't like to hunt for treasure.

Dude I played D2 for a long time...What I meant here that you complete the game very fast on each of the difficulties so the flow is very fast as it is next time read him/her and my reply first before assuming stuff, I said nothing about grinding for uber items. D3 team want it faster on behalf of other aspects of the game like Radios light and dark scary background, It has now health orbs what it need faster gameplay than this for, Isn't it enough?
keep the scary theme for ppl who are fan of this style like myself.
I want Diablo not Titan Quest.
DRIER, what do yo u think of the model in the last picture of the barbarian in your signiture.
Quote from "DRIER" »
inventory screen?no,you misunderstood my point..
diablo3's arts style should be more realistic instead of these above....good comics looking huh?Unfortunately...
Honestly if you don think these look good... go play everquest too so you can get ur ultra realistic armor sets.

Lol, I suppose if that's the case then it does look like wow, but then again, so does every other game ever made.

You realize that WC3, WoW, SC2 and Diablo3 use the same engine with minor twitches?
