There has been so many arguments about Diablo 3 being compared to World Of Warcraft and I don't blame them because I've said this before , They're tiny things like make Diablo feel like Diablo and big things likes that make Diablo feel like Diablo. Blizzard needs to understand they cannot be lazy and take ideas from World of Warcraft just because it's a good idea. The game of course is in 3D , birds eye view and should be like a major graphic update from Diablo 2 LoD with some major changes and same items from past games cause it's been 20 years since the three prime evils got defeated and realisticly people are asking to put god damn guns. That is the most idiotic thing ever. What's the point of a gun in a game just think REALLY hard and if your iQ is 50 then don't worry about it, just pray for no guns.

Another thing that is upsets me is that they are taking icons from World of Warcraft to Diablo. NO NO NONONONONONONONON , They need to be designed just for Diablo 3. They need to stop being lazy or i'll make the icons for them for free cause this is getting out hand and they need to ask for ideas from diablo fans mostly then listening to there advisor who just make stupid ideas just because it's there "JOB" . The Fans who play Diablo right now at this moment since the game has been released are those who know the game at best by experience.

If your a player like me who has played the game since it has been out and from here then you understand a change can be a very...critical thing and changes why Diablo the game has always been the highest rated PC game of all time and why the game it self makes you crave to play more.

I'd like the icons to be in dark grey on a bright grey background with some subtle shading (sort of like the look of D2 runes). That way they'd be a lot prettier than the ones in D2 without taking away from the atmosphere.

Q u o t e:
Post reported cause that is really not needed man. I don't whats your problem.

---

Wow, you ruined my day Mr. Trigger Happy! lol!

You reported me because I thought that your thread sucks. Oh well, life goes on.

Your post still doesn't say anything interesting OR relevant, OR, for that matter, anything that hasn't been posted 1000 times. So I'm not sorry for expressing my blatant boredom after reading your boring post.

Stop being an emo kid and grow up a little. If you actually have a point to make, make it, but people like you coming here to whine that D3 looks like WoW, and needs that, and that DEVS did that wrong, and so on and so forth, just tells me that you have 1- too much free time, 2- no confidence in the developers, 3- a need for attention...

My point, and I have reiterated it many times in many thread, is that people like you give a review of a hypothetical system THAT IS NOT YET FINAL. You criticize icons, textures, bla bla bla, not realizing that during DEVELOPMENT, it is faster to use already existing images/textures to test the CODING than designing ALL the textures before hand and then testing the game.

So hey, feel free to feel stupid right now, because you fell in the same stupid hole as many others, criticizing something that is still not final.

I may as well report you for TROLLING at this point, it would be as stupid as reporting me because I didn't think your post was interesting.

Q u o t e:
About guns:

If they have Renaissance armor (Gothic Plate Armor), they should have Renaissance weapons (Hand Cannon and Arquebus). I'm not sure why people hate guns so much. It's not like you can really survive too many more Amazon's arrows completely piercing through your chest than you could survive bullets.

---

people hate guns in diablo because they are thinking of laser guns and ak-47's. they dont realise that guns were around in the 12th century (hand cannons, etc) and in the renaissance age. i agree they should have guns in d3 tho.

Thanks Bashiok for stating the obvious, clearly some people still don't understand that games that might be 1 year away from release don't represent the final product.

Oh by the way, do you have a release date (I hate to put estimated release dates in my posts, that would make it much better to have the official release date...)

No?

:OP

Now let's see if mr little troll has the balls to come back and argue that the artwork is indeed WoW related ;) That would be interesting!

Q u o t e:

This is the Wizard Talent Tree thats I based my argument from.

http://diablo3x.com/classes/wizard/wizard-talent-trees

I'm not certain if this is the offical skill "tree" for diablo 3. Anyone can confirm it?

---

Personally it looks like someone cannibalized the WoW talent builder and didn't change the artwork, it doesn't even have a tree structure showing prerequisites and such so I would be highly doubtful as to any significant level of accuracy or authenticity.

If it's not from Blizzard, it's not official. That is just a fan mock up.

Edit:
Acastermalbis, there probably won'y be prereqs since, unless a change has been made, it's number of points a tree, not which skills you put them in.

---

Q u o t e:
Wow... well you're obviously very excited.

Uhm, well out of all the things you said I guess I could probably talk about the icons. All of the Diablo III UI and icons are created by the Diablo III team, mainly our UI designer Mike Nicholson. We're not taking any art from other games, it's all created for Diablo III. It should also be noted that everything seen thus far should be considered placeholder, a lot of the UI has already changed fairly significantly.

---

By UI do you mean just like character and inventory windows, and/or the action bars and your health and mana orbs?

whats wrong with action bars?

just because WoW has action bars doesnt mean D3 (which will have action bars im assuming) is like WoW. Did you know guild wars had action bars too? and pretty much every other MMO?

No. Reread the OP again. He has a valid point. There were no guns in D2, and only 20 years have passed. If they did put guns in D3, it will be at the very beginning of gun technology with long reloads, poor accuracy and the gun just as likely to blow up in your face. A lot more than 20 years would have to elapse to get past this stage.

When did they ever mention guns? Besides, guns could have evolved on Xiansai, which is pretty secluded from the rest of Sanctuary.

On the other hand, I would PREFER it without guns. Please don't put guns and steamcraft in the game!

On the third hand, stop being negative about WoW features in Diablo 3. They won't put the WoW features that are stupid into D3, so no point in getting upset over it!

I never actually said anything was wrong with them O.o In fact, I play WoW and used to play GW. I was just wondering if they were changing that sort of thing when Bashiok mentioned they were messing with UI stuff, which I do believe would include the action bars, which is why I mentioned it.

Why would they mention something that didn't exist?

I much preferred the bow, but Molyneux at least had enough sense to say that there was a gap of 500 years between Fable and Fable 2, allowing guns to be invented and become advanced enough to be playable. And if guns are going to flood the world of Sanctuary, it sure ain't happening in 20 years. Even claiming that some obscure nation might have had them all along doesn't cut it. Too big of a change to the setting over too short a period of time would still be a valid criticism.
