I know this is a very touchy subject so I wont go into what I mostly hear on the forums.
Anyway I think the colors are great but what would make the colors more epic I think would be to darken the colors you know. Instead of royal bules you go midnight blue. Not so much pastel but more dark oils (Sorry professional artist here )
Actually I love the name witch doctor and I think the name fits with both the game,lore, and style. If I can remember correctly in Act3 you had to kill those little and bothersom tiny people. I also believe that their was a creature that ruled over tham called a shaman aka WD but to ovoid people screaming WoW they called it the Witch Doctor.
Personally I dont see what all the fuss is about the name WD I think the only other names you could actually call this class is either Vodoo Doctor but it wouldnt work since people would end up calling VD . It also wouldnt work to call it a Shaman for the reason of WoW since people are so very well scared of WoW it seems.
Actually I think the barb used the skill cleave as he now has the skill as well.
On the note of why the barb has no armor at the beging and being the same barb from d2 is simple. You are starting over and it wouldnt be fair if all you had to do was pick the barb to be granted full armor and epic weapons. At that point no one would play any of the other classes first. So if they wanted to throw some story of why he is armor less he could have just wanted to rebuild the barb lands and settle down, but when the meterior struck it did a kind of Thor thing that draws the new heros to it.
When I saw the D3 barb I didnt see a weaker version of himself. I saw an older,stronger, and meaner version. In D2 the barb couldnt smash the ground with his weapons and cuase an earthquake to destroy his enemies (sizemic shock). And If my memory serves me right that the d2 barb couldnt smash his foot on the ground and nock people unconsious(sp?)
I think the barb most likely went to meditate and go back into training. The female barb could be his wife, and tought her how to fight as well. I also think that good ol' T saved the barbs mind as well for incase baal came back. Since his stone was not destroyed.
well as a interesting suggestion I think it would be cool if they would alow you to chose the characters race. But the way it is now suits me just fine.
Well the way blizz as stated that loot works - Note they have kept this pretty very sketchy for now - But what little they have said is it works like this
1) You and your friends kill boss
2) Loot drops randomly
3) The loot you see if yours - makes it more fair and will stop pick up mods
4) You tell your friends what you got and see if anyone needs it or you can mule it
4a) You keep it becuase no one your playing with is friends and you save it for a latter char
It just doesn't, at least to me, make any sense whatsoever if this is supposed to be the very same barbarian as in D2. Did he just mysteriously loose.. well.. everything about himself? From the same region, tribe; Sure. He's essentially the same kind of barbarian. But he can't be THE same barbarian.
Well you wanted my source so here you go in the first min of the vid blizzard tells you that its the same barb
Also It took a lot of time for me to find the same video again so I hope you give me some credit on that instead of saying something with out backing it up
So wether you agree with blizz or not its the same barb (note I'm using a regular speech pattern threw the all reply)
Well In one of the vid interviews they did say that bop and boe items wouldnt work in this game becuase its not an mmo. So I dont think you have anything to worry about.
Well the blizz guys did say that the barb is the same bard from d2 and that they were going to try and tell his story threw the game with what I imagine being class spec quests.
But I have to say if the skills we saw on the gameplay trailer are just a taste. Man I can't wait to see what else the d3 barb can do since he will be my first pick
I really like the way the WD looks, and if you look up some vodoo masks that are used in real tribes some of them are crazy scary. I do however take your bet and raise you 10 that its going to be a very deep south african voice
But For me I think their is to much attention to the looks in games and not enought attention on gameplay these days.
I think it would be cool to see some crazy vodoo spells like shrinking heads till they explode. Im really courious to see the what else the WD can summon on...spell casting zombies perhaps
I dont think we will see magical attributes to the barbarian but I do think we will see much more strengh sided attributes. Like the sizemic slam. However I would like to know if they are going to keep the fury skills becuase it was crazy cool to see my dual swords swinging like crazy.
to be honest I thought the graphics in D2 were shit. You can't see anything which is why they didnt work on the look of the game becuase you cant really see anything. Scary game? not really I never got scared I was never afraid of going down one path or another. I played the game for the story which I thought was cool and the gameplay not becuase of the crapy graphics.
The colors are fine, the out side enviroment is fine to since its 20 years after D2 in which nothing has happend accept the people rebuilding. The rainbow is a natural thing that happends in any light. Bunnies,chickens, and cows were in D2 and I wanted to kill all of them. The game D2 was very colorfull altho with darker versions of the colors.
I think the only reason people truly complain about D3 is the extreme wait between D2 and D3 which meant that people had insane expectations. Sorry but games that are photo real are boring. Not to mention that the textures in D3 are most likly not in their yet.
I agree with the OP 100% people need to chill and wait a few months before we even see what the game will actually look like.
