I generally like what I saw. I voted that I thought it was great how it is, but that's not entirely true. I do think it needs a bit more work, that was just the closest answer to how I feel. I really am not worried about it being less "dark." I just think there do need to be places that are just really dark. The end levels should be especially so. I mean, when I was fighting in Hell in D2 (before the expansion) I just remember thinking, wow, this is an awesome change from the last three acts, especially the second act, that was very bright. I could feel the sun beating down on me in that act.I think some of the art might need a bit more detail too, but those are things I believe will be coming with more work on it in general.
I really like the move to a more abilities based combat system. I think with an abilities based combat system, it is lending itslef to a lot more variety in gameplay, which means people will be able to have different styles of play, and one of them won't just be right and the other wrong, which was how it was a bit in D2 (not entirely though). I think if we were given the diablo 2 system now, we'd be really unthrilled about it. It works great, but it's really just click away. I really hope that respecs are possible, as long as they do make some sort of way to make it so you can't just respec all the time.
Something I forgot, the "how it is" and "how it should be" photos are not right. They are all just darker, that's it. That just means you have to turn down your contrast in the game, then it'll look good to you. Do that then. Some of the things I really liked about the new look are the way you can see several levels below you at times. I can see getting really freaked out running along a ledge or something like and seeing the drop be like 5 floors or something. That, I cannot wait for.
