I have never been worried about the art direction until I saw these new screenshots. The monster textures are faux shiny and all of the edges on the environments are rounded and soft. It really looks like someone dropped a demon hunter in torchlight -_-. I have faith in blizzard, so fingers crossed that all of the graphical settings are turned down or this is an earlier build before everything was polished.
If you would have read the earlier posts someone said that it was cropped from a magazine picture and blown up.
I did read the other post and understand it is out of PC gamer. If you look at the level of detail in the player character models they look on par with what we are seeing in the beta but the surrounding area and monsters are not. If it is an issue of blowing up the picture everything would have had the same level of distortion. You really shouldn't assume things because when you do you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me" :-D.
The amount of complaining of "hurr looks bad, durr horrible product" is annoyingly high in this thread. And as per your "ass out of u and me" quote, maybe you should make reference to it when you think about how bad the quality will be in the final product.
So much anger. Usually I am the one saying just have faith to those preaching gloom and doom. I am in beta and can attest to the fact that the game looks and plays amazingly. I just think there are things that don't seem up to snuff in the screenshots that were posted. Blizzard doesn't let anybody take pictures of screens at blizzcon because the crappy image quality will be miss construed as the actual product lacking in quality. These shots were released to pc gamer by blizzard so they made the choice to make these images public. Now don't go all "jaded nerd ragey" on my again because so far it seems like you are just looking for a fight but these images are not a good representation of blizzards product. All i am saying is "I have faith in blizzard, so fingers crossed that all of the graphical settings are turned down or this is an earlier build before everything was polished."

Ahhhh I should have posted the pics I took last night I had some cool ones of the giant tree creatures. But alas I'm at work today and for some reason they only show up as an outline on my work pc (which is obviously far less "powerful" than my main gaming pc at home.) Anyway, I thought I'd post a few I took from my work pc. I haven't played the Beta yet so I don't know what enemies are or aren't in the Beta already. I also had a great Gargantuan pic on my home pc lol.
I'm playing in Windowed mode on my 2nd monitor because I should be working on servers instead of taking D3 pics lol.
OMG seeing Mawdawc looking all gold and glowy with his two throwing axes bring back memories. I seriously can't wait for this game Q motherfucking Q. Thanks for the monster pics, please bring on anymore you can get.
When the calculators first came up I immediately went with a similar build but I do agree with ockain. You need something that will be more useful and quick in strike 1 and 2 than EP.
I feel like it should definitely dmg and possibly stun the hero. The only problem is that ranged classes can trigger some these traps from a distance and therefore get out of the way. At least in early game the melee classes don't have a means of getting out of the way quickly. It could be seen as placing an unfair disadvantage to them.
We DON'T know, we are only going off what are people are saying, and what the blue posts are saying. This is all we can interpret from the posts. And yes I do think people who got in would be trolling the forums. From what we see we can say that invites did not go out for opt-ins yesterday. If you have your own opinion thats fine, but don't make a flame war of it just because you take other peoples posts differently.
Until we can actually see that opt-ins have indeed received invites I'm gonna believe they haven't actually gone out yet.
If anyone got flamed here it was me(not necessarily by you), you should read through some of your earlier posts in this topic, they're not really what i'd call "different opinion friendly"
Thanks for understanding that we dont know thou, that was the message i was trying to get through, even thou i apparently didn't make myself clear enough on that.
My threads were always completely based on complete assumption as to what the blue posts and the status of the forums meant. At no time was i rejecting what other people thought. This is just what everyone else interpreted from the posts as i did. If someone else found something to contradict me i would of changed my information.
Holy Shit do you seriously have 140 post after being here a week. The more you talk without something useful to say the less impact your voice has when you actually do make a good point. Not trying to hate I just think it is odd that you think you have that much worth saying.
When I look at this video, I feel like I'm ages old, like some heavy burden was lifted from me. The end of the journey is upon us, Diablo Fans!
I'm sure gonna miss waiting for this game.
I can't agree more! I mean, I hated the wait, but I will miss it. When I think of 2008 when the Wizard was announced, and everybody was like "Yeah, the two other classes will be revealed upon release" Then the Monk came in 2009, and the Demon Hunter followed. And now, we are here; and the wait will soon be over. I'm proud that I'm a member of this community. All praises to Diablo, Lord of Terror, and survivor of the Dark Exile!
God knows my productivity at work will get better... or will it. If they have mobile AH it could potentially get worse ROFL.
Thank you blizzard its nice to see something new. At the same time damn you blizzard for reinforcing all of the self entitlement issues the majority of kids on the internet have these days.
