Also i have to link this.

[image loading]

Graphics first and foremost need to make sense and make it able to cut through the clutter of a million zombies on-screen.

Then you can satisfy peoples DeviantArt gothic desires.

environments are great but character design is bad. especially demon hunter who is very bland, and monk that just looks plain bad in like every type of armor I've seen.

I bet there will be a MOD out there before too long, that changes the graphics too look more dark and Gothic.

It seems to me, the people who like the current color and lighting are WoW players.

What's wrong with things being hard to see? It adds challenge and elements of surprise.
Besides, it could be circumvented by having spells that cause lighting aoe effects.
Or like in Diablo 2 an aura of light attribute attached to certain items.
Thus finding items with +5 to light aura would gain value to the WoW players out there that want to see everything in bright "Friendship Is Magic" colors.

Good for them, good for me. Best of both worlds. Or maybe just have a setting modifier in the options menu.

Graphic Setting Scale: [Prison Cell Dark] - [Gothic Church Light] - [Summers Day Bright] - [Friendship Is Magic Shine] - [WoW Rainbow]

I don't think you played much of D2. When you were playing with friends that game was like a unicorn crapped a rainbow.

The first Diablo is probably a better comparison.

Same for Direct11 not being in the Beta either. The game may not look completely different upon release, but there will be much more we can do to adjust the look and possibly make it look much nicer.

Hi. We are talking about the beta, not the final game.
Which by the way isn't going to look any different.

My Radeon 9800XT (The 8x AGP cards, remember?) ran WoW when it came out like a boss. Pretty sure if I SHOWED it the cover art to D3 it would drop a turd. And I think there is a big diff between DX11 and the others.

Do you even have the beta?
The graphics on low are ez pz. I think you are trying to stress dx11 way too hard, this game is absolutely on par with something that came out 6 years ago.
Does it look great? yeah there is nothing wrong with it.
Does it look amazing? no.
Does it feel boss when you hit something as a barbarian and it flies across the screen? yup.

Well at least we can agree on a few things. I think your underestimating what all of the lighting effects will do to the game once DX11 and its graphical advantages come to the party. I mean especially when you mention things like "jaggies." That makes a huge difference.

Honestly though, I have seen streams of the game running at the same resolution as my monitor, if its pixel per pixel identical, I think I can add to a discussion of how the game looks.

I dont like how some of the environments look like a watercolor painting and how soft they seem. Other than that a more powerful engine is what I'd like to make it more detailed.

At first I was like: Hm..Diablo 3..dunno, think I'll stick with Guild Wars 2

But then they said: Demon Hunters r hot.

And now I'm blind to everything else on the game, as far as I am concerned it looks perfect.

I like Diablo 3's graphics better than all the brown shit that other people play nowadays. Don't know why people want it to be brown. It's better than the game on the video below.

All Diablo 3 proves is that you can have a great-looking game and a great art style without a huge polycount. Disclaimer, I'm in the beta.
