The problem is that every angsty teen out there thinks "dark" refers to nothing besides the literal brightness level or amount of blood on the screen.

It's just that d2 has low saturation, just like brood war, which means sc2 and d3 look more colorful when in fact they are not. They are just more saturated.

Dark (Atmosphere)

Shiny Art style (Be speific, do you mean shiny from spells or from back ground? etc

DONT DO THIS:

This game is gonna be lame its gonna look like WoW and not a dark game like I want.
Look for the flaw that lost the game not the flaw in the game.

Your kind of killing the vibe here man :D
People want to know about updates or a friendly talk about the game. Why are you trying so hard to rip on the game we are waiting for with a lot of excitement.

Just skimmed through every post since the 17th and haven't noticed it posted so here's a quote from Bashiok on the beta release date and it being before September.

That's weird, they originally had the exact quote in their Inferno article and then pulled it out and only quoted "When it's ready." in that new mini-blip thing. I think his original quote on Kotaku was "by the end of September" but I didn't copy it down.

Anyway, to set expectations straight, beta in August is unlikely. But it shouldn't be too long after.

So yeah, expect beta within the next few weeks.

Why don't you get over the fact that not everyone is going to like the same art style as you?


LOL hypocrisy much


Care to explain how? I never claimed my opinion was objective fact or told people not to share their views on the art style just because they might disagree with me.

outside of maybe the desert parts of act 2 D2 constantly had a very dark feel to it.

Right, this. Unless you count Act 3, which was a freakin' jungle. And I guess Act 5 was all sunlit outdoor areas too, and - oh crap, so was Act 1, wasn't it? Still, Act 4 was pretty dark. The parts of it that weren't blazing fields of lava, I mean.

So... the parts of Diablo 2 where you were inside of a tomb or something were pretty dark, at least!

Because when someone says it has "a dark feel" they mean "man, it's so hard to see without ambient light!"..
Brood War has been a part of our lives for the last 12 years. No, we don't want change.

When i say dark, i want bodies mangled on the wall, corpses impaled on sacrificial altars, health potions instead of orbs to add suspense and fear of dying, obligatory blood drains along the floors, walls made out of victims, enemies bursting with guts on death (corpse explosion etc), a lot of devil/satanic themed decor, and i want the butcher to yell something into my ear in full surround sound at completely random intervals throughout the game.

i just do not understand why you expect same out of a game every single time.it is funny. so you want always dark places in a game that you are going to play for hundreds of hours. same looking places that always has a lot of corpses and altars around and no variations.

and most of you want d1 remake multiplied with d2 remake. and low gamma and brightness settings that you can't turn higher.

i can only say LOL and ROFL.

Potion-spamming is about as far from "suspense" as you can get.
And we haven't even seen screenshots from the end-game for example, so you might get what you want.

It's not the colors that bother me it is that it looks as scary as Barbie horse adventure in every game play and demo video out there, they could paint the place in fucking rainbows, as long as they have evil fucking bunnies that are insane and rabid. The skeletons and monsters don't give a scary feel anymore than a fucking whack-a-mole mole does which is in large part due to their given animations, the overall feel of the game in the context given and lastly their wow place holder looks.

That is a lot of grinding, however, you are assuming that drop rates are going to be similar to D2, but really we dont know anything about how much any item, gem, or rune will be dropping, maybe they are super plentiful(which would be annoying).

Blizzard has just put Chinese farmers to the test.

I'll be perfectly fine with level 5 gems though.

But when I get a Shako equivalent I will be tempted to pull out my credit card.

I bet the very first level 14 MF gem will be worth as much as a car.

That gem maths been done many times before, not sure how you managed to spend 10 minutes talking about it. On a side note, there is almost 100 percent chance blizzard will fall to casuals and change how it works.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

Of course drop rates won't be anything at all like Diablo 2 are you serious?

That guy is bat sht insane if he thinks i will take that long to get a single highest quality gem.
