Quote from "SlickSTi" »Jay Wilson has already explained it. Jesus christ do you read anything other than your own posts? The game started out dark and they revised it several times. Jay has explained exactly why and it makes sense.
Quote from "SlickSTi" »Jay Wilson is still the lead designer and he has stated that the current art direction is working and the team is happy with it. All you can do is speculate as to what happened to the old art director. It could be literally anything including him pinching an intern's ass and getting canned.

Quote from "Flamingdts" »It is possible that they're changing the art director. But as Blizzard has already stated, they will not change the art direction, so I don't understand why they would change the art director after stating they have decided to keep the art style.
Could there be more than one art director who mentors different groups of artists? Say one art director is in charge of character design whiles another is in charge of lighting and other environmental effects.
Whatever Blizzard is doing, I'm sure its good. But I'm not willing to wait another year for D3 to come out though :(.
Quote from "Eldius" »
Note: Has anyone else noticed all of the environment artist jobs listed?
Quote from "Karjalan" »You are as ignorant as you are selfish.
However if they do completely change the direction of the art, the game will probably be delayed by another year.... Not to mention theres the possibility it gets worse.
Quote from "Kokoro" »I'm wondering if the current art director (Brian Morrisroe) has quit after all that critics concering the art direction or they are just extending D3 team ? Or perhaps a new art director for D3 expansion is needed (they mentioned about exp. in some interview recently)?

Quote from "illinvillain29" »Well let me ask you this......are you going to play as the barb? if so why would you have a problem with the necro POSSIBLY being an expansion character? By buying D3, by your logic, you are in part paying for something you have already experienced with the barb, AND possibly any other characters that may make the move from D2 to D3, pally, zon, etc......granted you get something new with D3 via WD, graphics, gameplay.....i'm pretty sure they will add new features to the D3 expansion sort of like LOD did (Act 5).
Quote from "Ronkis" »dont know how many times ive said this now but, to everyone who are happy with the way it is,
as you dont care shit that it doesnt look like Diablo you wouldnt care if it changed either.

Hmm not really, those are pretty valid reasons.

1. I saw this stuff about "health orbs".
2. This dark cultist page here and it looking exactly like a WoW undead mage with the right gear, and it having the same exact spell casting animation as the WoW one also http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/world/bestiary/darkcultists.xml
3. good graphics but just weird cartoony stuff in there that... really didn't need to be added to it.
4. No necromancer, and this "witch doctor" having the same skills as him almost... cheap knockoff...
5. Barbarian and his HUGELY glow affected weapons. I was rather repulsed by it.
6. Weird spell affects from barbarian, I mean I know hes magical but damn... He is not a Mageknight or a paladin.
So my reaction when I actually went to the diablo 3 site and heard about this stuff, i was from 1-10 a 15 probably in joy. Right now I'm at like a 5.

No, they said they were going to try other ways to implement it into the game. They never said they were going to make 3D corpses stick around because they said its too much work for the engine. "aka bloodstains" Or something 2d.

or they could just put the health bars on the side somewhere or the top of the screen or something. Its just too much putting them right on your character. It would be cool if they added missing limbs and stuff and cuts but I think that might be too much burden on their engine. Considering they cant even deal with 3d corpses stickin around for a bit.

They could just have a cursor animation so when you mouse over an enemy it changes instantly or something, and just have the health bar at the very top of the screen like how it was for when fighting a boss. I keep watching that goblin part with the barb in the gameplay video and i cant stop thinking how annoying those bars are.

they should get something else, like a cursor animation, those bars are in the way
