Quote fromthey already mention in the official site about the reanimation process of the skeletons.
saves them the trouble to explain how a skeleton was summoned without a corpse around.
how crappy would it look to leap/smash them (after their death) and remain as if they arent there?
I dont mind how it is and their explanation is pretty good to me. Grass isnt the same, you cant throw it off cliffs and it cant move around as corpses can.
cry more because apparently you cant do anything else.
It would look less crappy than having them fade after a few seconds, thats for sure! Knocking ragdols around was "exciting" many years ago now, why should immersion and theme be kicked out so a barbarians hammer can always magically toss the bodies around. =/

Sonic, game companies rarely care about people making mods of their older games on their new engines, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain since they never plan to remake their older games. If the team intended to make money then thats a different story.

Its gone because I deleted everything off the url. I'm over it, Blizzard has stated its stance, and while I don't agree with it, it is after all up to them. They had a great style and atmosphere in the previous games, and I don't see the logic in getting rid of it. While some of the things they have said are total crap (like the previous style "not working" in 3d, when really its just a personal preference of theirs to go for this "epic" look with immense unrealistically shaped and lit dungeons) I can also see why they made some of the choices they did. The petition has voiced the opinions of many, but in the end they are convinced the Warcraft style is better than the Diablo one and there really is no way to change that. I hope the game turns out well and at least some changes are made, mainly the armor, since that stupidly shaped stuff is pretty much the only thing that would actually put me off playing. I am also tired of the constant arguments and such, and those signatures are only fueling the fire now. They served their purpose to get people to sign, and no doubt they helped, but I'd say its time to move on!
Anyhow, I may be back after release, besides its probably better to try and move on and forget about D3 and hopefully be pleasantly surprised come release rather than hang around here spoiling parts of the game and being disappointed.

and here is a gothic dungeon.
Now might I ask why the image you just filled the screen was relevant... at all..

I was thinking about doing some more images, and maybe polishing that one a bit so I will take what you said into consideration and probably do ones like you suggested if I do more. However to me the solution seems simple enough, if you have a destructible wall, put a couple of torches on the pillars beside it, not only illuminating it but also drawing extra visual attention to it. If you have a looming monster in the dark, have it pass under a candelabra, or a shaft of blue/green lighting coming from a shaft above, looming in and out of the darkness looks good. If you have ghouls climbing walls place a few strategically placed torches on the walls so they are illuminated as they pass by, but aren't constantly bathed in light. To me catching glimpses or short views of something coming towards me is a lot more un-nerving than watching it steadily advance in full light. But yes, images or even videos would obviously illustrate this better.
However having said all that and that it is possible I am a fan of the light radius, and ghouls climbing walls doesn't work with the old light radius system, but hey I could live just fine without light radius if the environments were at least spooky.
and thanks Blizter, I am no Blizzard dev though thats for sure and that image could no doubt look a lot better, just to get an idea across I guess.

Hah, you got me, the lion statue is in there too. I am a 3d artist and yep, sorry to say that it isn't a real game but a 3d render. I will point out though that those are all low poly models with very low res textures and are designed to be game assets and would easily fit within Blizzards guidelines on making it run on old machines. Hell there is barely more poly's in there than 3 of HL2's alyx models standing side by side.

-edit- may have broken the page for those without widescreen, will make a thumbnail shortly.

The joke seems to be that the character is someone who plays so much Diablo he thinks he is a barbarian and acts out his demon killing fantasies on fruit crush lollies to watch them explode. Even thats not exactly right, but I am not sure how else to explain it to be honest, though it might help you understand?

The light isn't directly neon green in shade, if the whole place was lit by neon green lights then it would look a lot more, well, green. However there is yellow and blue light there too, it all adds to the color, and the term neon keeps getting used because its so damn bright and so saturated.

Oh ffs, do you know anything about color? yeah maybe if the pavement was painted white you would get the same hue, but the world is full of browns and grays and diffuse lighting unfortunately for you.

If they were the things you had in mind why did you start the thread by suggesting horribly lame headbanging animations?
Nice suggestions Akse, emotes like that would be pretty cool, just little things like the sort of spit and mouth wipe that the barb does while talking to Cain. Would be nice to be able to use that after PVP or a boss fight.

Gee, nice. I just started looking through the trailer again and what do you know, most of it looks like there is some seedy neon sign hanging just off screen miraculously illuminating everything, guess you should come cut my face now. Green does work well as a creepy color but not if its bright green that illuminates everything more than the actual lighting in the area.

No the logical conclusion would be that a group of people decided to make up some stuff to help them get a point across and also that during the numerous rewritings and translations that certain people who want to see patterns where there are none altered things so that "random meteor" became "angel" and "random sun beam through cloud" became "angel" etc.
-edit-
Creep, thanks for those video links, haven't seen them before and haven't had a good laugh in a while!
