When I sat down with lead “Diablo III” designer Jay Wilson last week to talk about the team’s design choices and his thoughts on fan-altered screenshots, he told me that Morrisroe was the one who spearheaded the franchise’s design changes. Specifically, I asked who we should blame for the rainbows. Wilson said:
“If you want to blame anyone for the rainbows, you’d blame our art director Brian [Morrisroe]. Because Brian is more the person who drove the art style into where it is. But it didn’t really come directly from him. What he brought to the art team was concepts and ideas — the idea of contrast, the idea of using color more, the idea of going for a more stylized look. Because what we were looking at before was more photo-realistic. Really trying to get something that looks like a painting — that was his goal. But the actual result of that came from the art team. And a lot of the environment guys, and some of the texture artists, they’ve all kind of chipped in to try and get the feel of something that was very unique.”
When I read this I thought It's good that he Quit, or as I believe got sacked and was told to say he leave on his own account. Blizzard doesn't like to show weakness, they wanna look firm in their decisions without getting swayed by the fans outcry.
Who in his right mind leaves Blizz in the middle of such major project to build his own company with the state of the market today. Couldn't he wait some more? who knows, They should interview him and not Blizz about it, maybe he'll spill the beans.
And If he leaves in the middle it's not going to help his resume :rolleyes:
Anyway ppl Ignore to what he "contribute" to the art as stated above. It can't be bad to get new perspective to stuff after all his good doings /sarcastic off
Why not elevate someone within Blizzard to the job if it's not a major role still? If the art direction is completely done with why not to...? The answer I vote for that it's not over & done with, expect some changes.

Do you see any elements in any of their games that can make you say "this I want in WoW/Diablo/SC" ?
Do you feel that blizzard will take over their old titles? make new one?

You don't know if the chat panel will show what everyone got, so How will it hurt if you Don't know what someone else got?
If he's your friend he will tell you, if no you can trade for the item via cash/other item, or not at all.
all in all you still have to get lucky in the end. It's like solo just more cooperative and without the scams.
And about the graphics I still hope for at least darker theme, that's what? 1-3 days to arrange? not so hard imo.

Did you play ever old rpg's as warrior with high int? mage tank with low dmg?
It's exactly like that, your char is your char do whatever you want with it.
What if some very big strong guy want to be a mage will you prevent him because of his physics?
