wow i was a bit excited for diablo 3, but now after seeing those snippets of the wizard class i am REEALLY FUCKING EXCITED.
the Sorceress was my fav class in diablo 2, so id expect the wizard to be good too. The stop time spell looks insanely awesome!! i cant wait for this.
Sorry if this has been discussed, i used the search function but didn't find anything.
Should what gender you choose for your character have any other effects other than the way the character looks?
Today i was thinking about the gender selection that D3 will have, and i thought that it might be cool if your choice of male or female could be influenced by more than just the way it looks.
What i was thinking is that males could do slightly more physical damage, and perhaps females could have faster mana regeneration rates, or healing rates? or something in that area.
This could open up room for some interesting builds...or on the other hand make the game confusing and make all players biased to one gender (e.g everyone picking male barbs because they do more phys damage)
Anyway, what do you guys think about this?
(also id like to put in a poll, but i dont know how to do it yet, so it will be up later)
wow the new Deckard Cain looks about a million times better than the old one, seriously. It's funny, because in those new sketches of Deckard Cain he looks more human than that 3D model from the Diablo2.
i do care for graphics...but the look of the game is much more than just graphics...
the graphics at the moment are amazing...the way that the water looks when the barbarian walks trhough it, the lighting in the outdoors area, etc etc.
what i want is for the characters to look more like a human, less like a cartoon. i want the waepons and armours to look like something you would really use to hack off demons heads/defend yourself from demons, and not an overly large cinder block breastplate or enourmous hammer or something like that
i would gladly wait another year for the game i want.
if its anything as good as Diablo 2, ill still be playing it in 10 years. Therefore i really care about the visuals of the game...because its either wait another 6months to 2 years now, or, wait another 8 or so years for diablo4
i voted it looks to cartoony. but id also like to see more grays/darks in the dungeon areas.
the characters look really dumb wearing those really big armours and ridiculously large weapons. i want the armours and weapons to actually look like what they are meant to.
One of the big attractions for me in diablo 2 was how sexy the female characters looked in their armours. (id often use worser armours just because they looked better). with what ive seen of the current diablo III graphics i just dont get that.
Also the atmosphere seems to be lacking, and i think it is also because o the cartoonish looking characters/monsters. the first time i went into the catacombs in diablo2 i actually felt scared...there was tables with women on them that were ripped in half at the torso....monsters would just come out of the darkness and attack you...
with this sort of art style im just not gonna get that vibe. ill be a sad sad panda if blizzard dont change the D3 style
Id like to see some kind of telekinetic/psionic kind of character.
his/her skills would include being able to pick up debris off the ground with their mind and throw it at enemies. also gather smaller debris and have them orbit around the character for a time, at high levels effectively making the character a walking tornado, with rocks and boulders damaging enemies when it hits them.
Also able to possess a monster and control the monsters movements for a time (while the actual player remains stationary)
what do you guys think?
(sorry if this has already been suggested but i wasnt going to read through 166 pges)
I have to say after messing around, the really major problem about the current graphics is them being washed out... Notice how in my "manipulations" the colors remain warm and strong, so all you guys screaming "we dont want a grey game", can shut up now, its now about being grey
I just hope Blizzard sees this...
I really like these manipulations, the foliage in the environment stands out more, its sharper.
the real problem for me is the size of that warhammer or whatever it is the barbarian is wielding.
honestly...in real life would that be a good shape for a weapon?
i totally agree that the graphics we saw in the gameplay trailer are totally un-diablo but im not excactly sure what it is that makes me feel that way...
When i first played diablo 2, and walking the the cathedral i actually felt scared....there were remains of bodies on tables that were torn apart at the torso and i remember thinking that it was grotesque.
But when i watced the gameplay trailer, even as bodies of monsters were exploding i felt like it was just normal. the element of realism...the grossness....the goryness just isnt there. it feels like it is acceptable to watch that.
Imagine if the sort of things happening in the trailer (the cultists summoning up those demons, monster corpses exploding) happened in D2? even with its 2D graphics or whatever it would look REALLY terrifying. it would look real, it would look scary. i would be thinking to myself "holy shit that is gross, no one should be put through that, nor witness that"
I really hope that blizzard reconsider their direction in regards to the look of the game. if it turns out looking like it does in the trailer ill be quite dissapointed.
Hi guys, this is my first post, but now that i read this forum pretty much everyday i thought hey why not join in the discussion.
my thoughts excactly VanCrackin.... when tyrael destroyed the worldstone it prevented Hell from entering Sanctuary, however, the forces of Hell could still enter Heaven. There has been a war in heaven and hell for the past 20 years and this is why nothing has been happening on sanctuary.
Now i think Hell has gotten the Upper hand...and the forces of hell can now flood into sanctuary via heaven in the form of...a meteor?
Also could it be possible that a corrupted heaven could find a way to resurrect diablo?
