    You Sir, Are a moron.
    The petition is essentially about IMPROVING the graphics, hopefully in a way that doesn't put back the release date too far.
    Its also to improve the atmospheric & ambient visual effects in the game to keep it more in sync with the Diablo universe. Stuff like hanging bodies everywhere, blood pentagrams on the floor, etc etc.

    And now I'm going to re-quote you on something.


    Its utterly rediculous to say this.
    1. Becuase you have no idea what the petition was about in the first place, thus do not understand peoples motives for signing.
    and
    2. Becuase the graphics that we have seen for D3 are pretty outdated now anyway, due to blizzards aging visual style, a remnant from WCIII.

    LMAO! :D Pretty much the best sig ever. I lawl'd.

    Light radius is crap. It makes no sense that I can't see monsters 10ft ahead of me.

    You pretty much just described Diablo original.



    And yeah, I pretty much say "pretty much" pretty much all the time, pretty much.

    I do not regret signing the petition, however it was for different reasons. First, possibly because there was no light radius. You could see things from across the screen, but I am pretty sure Blizz will add that later, due to it being pre alpha and all... 2nd It was slightly greenish in the dungeons, it seemed more like a sewer, but that's still cool. Last but not least, the exaggerated armor and glowing weapons everywhere. I don't want everyone to look cool because of glowing weapons; next thing you know everyone is cool. Those are my only problems.

    Agreed. I don't think people really realize what the real problem people seem to have with the graphics. It's not that they aren't good enough, it's just minor things that if they were tweaked would fit that ideal look of the Diablo franchise. However, it's not that big a deal to me. I can assure you that come release, I'll be picking this up and enjoying it; but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to see the tweaks.
    I don't know the URL anymore, but someone had 3 'before and after' screenshots that were great examples. One was the screenshot of the Barb near a platform that seemed to be near a cliff (again, can't remember very well). The 'after' was great because it showed how just photoshop can make everything look alot more defined and darker and in my humble opinion better. The steps on the platform were more defined and older looking.

    It's a fun idea but I don't know how realistic it is.

    Wont happen on the ds. The specs of the ds are way to low for diablo 2 standards.

    Nintdendo CPU:
    One 67 MHz and one 33 MHz ARM7TDMI. 4 MB ram.

    PSP is the way to go.

    Yeah, but I own both and if you want to actually game, pick up a DS. If you wanna go to your friends and show them how cool the home menu is and tell them about all the things you can do with it, get PSP. :offtopic:

    Is there any way to get diablo 2: LoD to run on a LG Voyager? I have a 2gb MicroSD card and I don't care about cinematics - just wondering if there's ever been a hack/emulator/whatever of diablo 2 on a cellphone. Thanks ^^

    Not that I know of. But how cool would that be?

    I really don't get where all the rabid hatred towards WoW stems from. It's a pretty damn good game and it has a lot of features in it that would actually fit well into Diablo 3.

    I don't have really a hatred for WoW (other than it gets boring and repetitive quickly); but I wouldn't call it a hate. I actually own WoW and played it for some time. But just because things work well in some games doesn't mean they should be borrowed and implemented into another one. I mean, what would make games different aside from a storyline?

    I don't know how the game feels untill I have played it.

    It's like watching a movie trailer and you say "mh this didn't feel very good, I'll pass it" or do you know how a car feels like before you have taken a test drive?

    Imo big part of the feel in diablo games comes from the gameplay. Never did the graphics matter one bit in D2. They were so crappy that I didn't really pay much attention to them still the game felt good since it was so nice to play. Now these new graphics look juicy and I prolly will be watching them a lot more.

    Even bigger part of the feel is the community. If there are no friends to play with I doubt the game lasts very long for me. For example Wow I played it for 2 years in really nice guilds until they migrated to other realm which I didn't want to after that I had nothing to do in the game and it really got boring. Same thing happened with D2 eventually. When all the friends had quit I had no reason to play it .. felt like a single player after that. Now with the new ladder reset I'm back there again since many old friends came back and we started playing.

    Many things go into the feel of a game. Ss you said the community and gameplay, but one thing, in my opinion, that sets the atmosphere more than anything else in a game (or with your example, a movie) is how the graphics are and how it looks. Playing old 8 and 16-bit games doesn't come close to the feel and atmosphere of when games went 3D.

    And is there something bad about it? Good things should be used, bad things - not. WoW borrowed many things from Diablo 2 and still noone said they have something in common.

    Not that there's anything bad with it, but I don't want my games spilling into each other. I don't think game companies should have games that are alike. Different projects, different franchises, different games. But these are just my opinions.

    And what were the things borrowed from D2 that went into WoW...?
    ... Besides "runes".

    Support Blizzard..? Is Blizzard hurting for money or a recovering drug addict? Maybe a war veteran?
    I can assure you that Blizzard's feelings aren't hurt, so it's alright.

    I posted on another thread nearly identical to this one; but I know if I post a link to it, none of you will go to it to read the other side of the story, so I'll just quote myself:

    Quote from "AManWhoLikesHisMetal" »
    Awww man. All this time I thought I was a true fan of the Diablo series and Blizzard.



    As you can see by my sig, I support the thought that people have on the graphics/textures/art. This doesn't mean I'm not a Blizzard fan or that I don't trust Blizzard. And just because I'm a long-time and huge fan of Blizzard doesn't mean I have to be a fanboy and trust Blizzard on an anything-goes basis.

    I own every Blizzard PC game except for the WoW expansion. And having played WoW and seen all that Blizzard has shown on D3, I do believe that they are somewhat trying to implement things from the WoW success into D3. And for one to think that that's not possible is pretty ridiculous if you know anything about the WoW success and what it did for Blizzard. Remember, Blizzard isn't cutting a 3rd Diablo just for the fans. They want sales, and to get sales, appealing outside of the already Diablo fans is a must.

    The opening post of the thread spoke of the "feel" of the Diablo series; people aren't upset with the look of D3 simply because of just the quality of the graphics, it has to do with the feel of the game that the graphics give. So this "you're not a fan of Diablo and Blizzard, asshole!" type attack every time someone mentions the graphics is pretty idiotic considering it's quite the opposite (or atleast for me): I support the petition and the overall thought on the graphics because I'm a fan, because I love this game franchise, and because Diablo is the game I've logged the most hours on of any other game I've ever played (between that and the original EverQuest).

    This whole arguement and taking sides thing is pretty retarded. It's a choice of opinion. MTV "agreeing and sticking up" for you doesn't mean shit; because for every person that's on "your side", there's one that disagrees. And because there's such an uproar on both sides, expect to see a compromise come release; ICI.

    you know. i have never played hellfire and havent found it anywhere so.. plz enlighten me on where i can find the lost chapters in my diablo story

    Alot of the "lore" added by the Hellfire expansion wasn't recognized by Blizz. So don't worry about it too heavily.

    Quote from "Yolkzz" »
    I look at the fact I paid $5 for runescape at one point and D3 > Runescape so therefore I would go up to 10 here is my little mathematical equation.

    $5 = Runescape
    $15 = Wow

    $5 < $10 < $15

    I wish this was in the "I'm calling it" thread so I could call it in there, but I'mma do it anyways.


    ICI:
    This is the dumbest fucking way of determining any kind of number ever, let alone a fee charge. It's not our fault you paid $5 for sound to a shitty game that's already free... and shitty.
