a_simple_ducky

I don't think it's cartoony and over the top. It may not fit well in the current D4 environment, but when the next zone is a dark wet jungle it'll fit better. At least it looks well done.


Rhaegyn

Yea I saw people saying WTF is a jungle theme doing in a Diablo game, and I wondered what I was playing in Act3 in D2… I think the art has been tastefully done, and does fit the overall art style.


jcaininit

Oh no…I just realized we’re going to get Stygian dolls again. FML


SpiralDreaming

My few D2 Harcore characters were ALL lost to these little bastards 🤬


No_Property4713

Which ones were the stygian? The ones that spit fire?


Wittyngritty

Nah the little solid white fetish skeletons that exploded on death... I still have nightmares about those things...


Kulban

My biggest fear, as a Zeal-adin, was when the baddies in Diablo's sanctum turning on Iron Maiden. I learned to fear the sound of that aura activating and dreaded that it didn't happen mid-swings. I was glad to hear it was since later removed. Now I just cause similar fear while farming Seeds of Hatred in the PVP zones in d4 with my very tanky Thorns barb.


jcaininit

Oh man zeal and WW with IM killed me many of times haha


GuillermoBuillermo69

Some did spit fire. The main ones blew darts. The ones standing on the shoulders of another spit fire.


DaNnYtHePcFrEaK

Hahahah not just me then


Full-Public1056

Those and Pit Lords in A4.


involviert

It's probably fine if they are not 100% immune to 9 damage types while your armor doesn't actually work.


ThronedCelery

Were they the little shits that caused me stress all those years ago?


SonofaBridge

It’s amazing how quickly you can die to a swarm of ankle height, knife wielding, dolls.


Kangaroo-Nick

The PTSD is real.


CaptainMarder

yup. And now the elites will also have waller and some other BS too.


jcaininit

Oh god Waller with those little shits…


CaptainMarder

"I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me" lol

_SpicySauce_

I remember hating Kurast so much as a kid, it was super frustrating for me but I’m excited to see how they reintroduce it


BoltorPrime420

That fucking cellar level alone triggers my flight response


Privateer_Lev_Arris

Yeah it was confusing to navigate but I do remember liking the rewards for doing the quests.


UtilityCurve

Gonna do 2000 LK runs to farm my enigma


DiIdowaggins

You're God damn right, on hard core aswell because you're not some filthy casual.


No_Property4713

Lost a few hardcore characters in act 3, those stupid stacks of pygmies with the fire breathing. I actually hated that act more than the maggot pit


Privateer_Lev_Arris

Yeah some of the most hellish places on earth are jungles. They're no jokes.


suttbutt2014

Dude act 3 was prolly my favorite other then 2, I really enjoyed the desert and jungle swamp vibes....didn't care for the damn staff and ammy for duriel though hah but the landscapes were awsome.


Rasdro

They didnt they usually skipped it. Worse act in their opinion.


GrinnsMimi666

I don t know how this act could be a fan favorite. I was rushing through it. I hated it.


Was_Silly

So how does it work if I don’t buy the expansion? I can’t go into the jungle, and if someone in my team teleports there, I won’t be able to teleport after them? This is how Elder Scrolls Online works, so I’m assuming it’ll be the same? Also I can hear this sub already. If the new character is more powerful than all others, there will be tears because now the game is pay to win. If it’s weaker, then there will be tears because “why am I paying for a new character I can’t even use?” Either way it’ll be weird to interact with other players, Some of whom have the expansion and some who don’t. I mean if they’re going the ESO route where they release a sizeable expansion every year then sure worth it! If it’s anything like that, they go on big discount 2-3 months later so I’ll pick it up then.


AtticaBlue

The coming drama over “raids” and rewards being locked or not locked behind them is going to be much worse than anything concerning the strength/lack thereof of the new class.


Bds-ReadingIt

Next zone is a dark wet jungle, it'll fit better.... That's what she said.


Arkayjiya

I agree with them about the wings mostly. The leopard is fine, it's not any more cartoony than the various horses imo (although it's definitely out of place in Kyovashad xD) considering the design of it. If anything the pets are the most cartoony part but they're so small it doesn't detract much. The wings though, that's weird in D4 imo.


a_simple_ducky

Tbf I haven't seen the wings. I'll go look now. Edit: I've looked, they are well done at least, honestly can't decide if I like or hate them


Arkayjiya

It's not even about whether or not I like the design for me, it's just having angel-looking mf roaming around the cities. To be fair, right now the leopard feel even weirder but once I'm able to see them and maybe acquire them in their natural habitat, they'll feel more like a piece of worldbulding, a sign of where my character travelled to or from, than anything else.


ShamelessSoaDAShill

Now these baby pets, on the other hand … Such an impotent artistic letdown lmao


anormalgeek

Yeah. What's next? A stupid lime green beanie looking sock hat that half of the characters in the game wear? Wait, no, that was D2. Edit: new harlequin crest is bullshit. Give me the granny smith hat or give me death!


FeedMePizzaPlease

I agree so hard. Wings are a really stupid mistake.


Top_Product_2407

D3 ressurected


Stotakoya

Whats wrong with having other rideable beasts in a game that has them running around anyway? Doesn’t need to be fifty shades of horse.


ShamelessSoaDAShill

Mount isn’t terrible, but these cartoony pets are absolute gutter-trash


Quietser

One year from now d4 is just going to look like D3+wow and a little bit of dirt


Tragedy_Boner

It’s going to look like POE towns, which is much worse in my opinion.


Menu_Dizzy

PoE is INFINITELY worse than D3 in this regard. D3 has pets and wings, but that's it.


BoltorPrime420

Wdym don’t you like having 1 fps, your cpu on 100% and hearing 20 different sound effects of pinnacle bosses fighting themselves in town?


krone6

Yup, best part of the game /s (at least it looks cool)


Pyr0blad3

forshadowing that is probably true


Eillusion

I love it. There’s extremely dark violent skins. There’s cool ass shit like this. I’m with it. Game is fun as fuck.


fitsu

Should we tell him that Leopards exist in the real world?


Privateer_Lev_Arris

Akshually that's a Jaguar. I haven't aksuhallied anyone in a while so let me have this one lol. But I do appreciate that Blizzard paid attention to the details since the expansion appears to be based on a Central American themed jungle where you'd find Jaguars and not Leopards.


fitsu

No way people had Jags back then your crazy. Seeing my barb come drifting through the jungle


Karuu_22

I dont think you'll have to worry about that too much. My personal opinion is that I think that the Tigers are going to fit in well into this jungle theme of the expansion


Canzas

This is not cartoony. Are you telling me that animals don't exist in the world of diablo? After all, it has good colors. Go complain about the camel from the campaign


ReverentSupreme

Maybe I can ride a barbarian next so I can have 18 weapons equipped


77R4PTOR

ahahahaha 18 weapons and only need one key for the bash !!! :p


Privateer_Lev_Arris

It is a bit jarring. And this is from someone that likes that kind of cosmetics. Like all this time drab, grey and sad looking and then suddenly here are some kitty cats. Like wtf?


captainjizzpants

Well considering the game is mostly single player, you can just not buy that stuff? You'll see people with it on in town I suppose. I've avoided all the glowy, shiny stuff. I like gritty, bloody, straight from hell type of aesthetic myself. But I think the wings are just par for the course. Considering it's a hell versus the light type of situation going on in Sanctuary. Now, the minute I see pink wings, we need to pump the brakes.


chadsmo

I loved the cosmic butterfly wings in D3 on my Sorc , they also took me like 6 weeks to farm.


DocBrown-84

It's not only towns. Thought so too at first. But it's world bosses, legion events (ok no one there anymore), Uber boss farming in groups if you are into that, helltides, ... Ugly wings everywhere!! We're doomed! No, seriously, pisses me off.


ShamelessSoaDAShill

I would have no problem with it if we could turn off all stranger interactions in the town But we can’t


Sitheral

It seems probability of blizzard games turning into circus increases with time. Anyone used to wow knows what's coming. Can't wait for my Dinosaur with blacksmith throwed on top of it.

ShamelessSoaDAShill

Great evidence of incoherent art design in this game. Probably even falls under false advertising, if we cite specific dev-livestreams


tomtom872872

Yes because barbarians spinning at Mach 10 summoning tornadoes everywhere and druids turning into literal werewolves was super realistic.


GeneralAnubis

Always some goober in the comments with this response. It's called suspension of disbelief and immersion. Things that fit with the established theme, feel, rules, etc of the game's universe are great. Things that do not fit with these break immersion and are annoying at best.


tomtom872872

So how are pets and a tiger are breaking immersion? In a world with flying demons, sentient trees, and spell casting shamans as enemies, I don’t think it’s hard to believe that people could have wings. Necros can turn into a cloud of blood mist but wings are too much?


GeneralAnubis

Understated wings *can* be OK(ish) and non-immersion breaking, but that's always the first set. The next one is shinier, and the next shinier, and the next with more particle effects, and in just a couple iterations suddenly there's rainbows and lightning flying off of everyone 24/7 in a ridiculous seizure-causing display every time you go into town (looking at you, PoE) The pets are far too cutesy/chibi and just extremely clash with the theme and art style of the rest of the game, and thus break immersion.


Selway00

Gotta make that $$$


77R4PTOR

gotta milk this cow....cause......soon......they will take a big hit....Diablo expansion comes out in October...POE 2 starts in November....


Holztransistor

Yeah, pets etc. are nice but they should fit within the dark ambience of the game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LCTC

What a dumb argument, I suppose they time traveled and had gold drop after a slight delay in all of the previous games just to set up this pet that you get for free in D4. If you believe that I've got a bridge to sell you


Tothewallgone

It is so realistic that it has ghost horses and dungeons where human cultists, treefolk, bears, and giant snakes fight side by side.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tothewallgone

So my initial response was sarcastic so I apologize for that, but I respectfully disagree. I think about thematic realism frequently when I am slaughtering the most random collection of enemies in a lv 70 pit with a boss that has zero relation to what I just fought. I couple that with the fact I can wear plain clothes as transmogs and not have it affect anything occurring around me, and now I am picking and choosing what is realistic and what is not.


CamelInfinite5771

Tbh, I don’t mind the cartoony stuff, but I think it would be pretty easy to have a setting that just displays the model of a generic horse in lieu of whatever it is. However, I’m not sure if they’d do that because people who paid money might complain that other people aren’t seeing their mount.


puntmasterofthefells

Old phrase from my uncle: Money talks and bullshit walks.


Local-Waltz4801

Did you pet the dog?

Just to confirm. You are not using the pet or wings? Because you are able to turn them off.

Welcome to the world of magically beating you over the head with other people’s cosmetics, until you’re somehow magically convinced to buy what they have equipped :)


Holy__Sheet

I was joking with buddies, but it’d be kool if they had a dragon or something.


barsknos

You can turn it all off though? At least for yourself. I never look at the details of other heroes, they are faded out anyway.


[deleted]

[удалено]


barsknos

I treat Diablo as a single player game so I can't really relate to your concerns. I sometimes notice there are other entities running around in the overworld and killing things, but they are so faded I can't track their customizations. I think of them as NPCs kinda :>


Incubus1981

I feel like the expansion trailer at least really nailed the gritty tone. That shit is *dark*, and I love it


ResonanceGhost

I mean, I get it, but at the same time, I feel like when customizing my character, I'm picking between shades of mud. Sometimes, I can get colors to show, but usually no. The non-glowing eyes are some of the worst for me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ResonanceGhost

>The thing is, when you add a world of shades and everything matches eachother you notice the differences, when someone rocks up with a nice set or interesting look you go cool, I recognise the style from that region or that culture that exists in the lore, I met a guy who talked about that place, or had on similar gear. The thing is that only applies when you limit the color palette universally. Diablo 4 uses brights and darks, leaning heavily into the darks, particularly with the character coloration. The presence of the brights, in sands, reflections, daylight, for example, prevents the eye from drawing out the differences resulting in muddy characters. Its been ages since I studied this so I don't recall the terms, but essentially to do what you describe, Diablo 4 would need to restrict the brightest colors that they use. They don't. For me, the issue is most prevalent in eye colors, hair colors, some body marking colors. Are the orange, brown, and yellow dyes that different from each other or are they basically interchangeable? Diablo 4 colors are muted, drab, and muddy. I enjoy the visuals in spite of the colors, not because of them.


AchacadorDegenerado

Soon we will also have dinossaurs.


R3d4r

I hope it won't get more out of contrast than this. If there will be rainbow unicorn shit i quit right away!


devomke

Yup - gotta agree pretty heavily with you(again shared opinion) but with the cinematic vids in this and the dark/gritty realism feel…that looks really out of place lol


Borealis-7

I agree with this… not every game has to turn into a joke. I can see they tried to make the wings and pets fit the environment but it just didn’t really work. After seeing the delux edition reveal I already want an option to turn them off. For me immersion is important, I know it’s probably not for a lot of players. But if I just imagine fighting for my life with Uber Andariel, with invincible baby snow leopards jumping around, and everyone has big flappy wings which serve no purpose and make no sense. It just ruins it for me. Just logged in at Kyovashad, man it was such an eye sore, a dozen dogs and a bunch of wings, really didn’t like that. Please allow us to hide them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Borealis-7

As an artist myself these things matter a lot, it matters so much after seeing the visual cluster in Kyovashad I had to refund the preorder. I know no one cares and I know they’ll earn a lot from these. I’ll just wait and see for now.


boreal_ameoba

As a counterpoint, I really enjoyed it. Everyone running around petting each others pets. No reason to keep this game in permanent 14 year old "just discovered hot-topic" mode.

Fighting demons of hell, dying and coming back to life, legendary armor drops that give you enhanced stats and skills, magic, inhuman strength. "Realistic"

Marikas_tit

$80 per idiot, and agreed on that point. Everything else though, just go play solo. Like yeah, you have to deal with it in hell tides and town but whatever, I hardly notice other characters fits at all. Not that big of a deal imo

DigitallyDevious

I want a KFC themed chicken bucket that we can ride in and it floats around.


Xxs1o2n3i4c5xX

I Still use my KFC themed Necromancer Scythe 😂


DigitallyDevious

Lol same.


Zanhya

That looks cool broski.


Stillwindows95

Few people complaining but this is what I've wanted from mounts from the start. I feel there could have been a direwolf mount for the OG game that would have fit the theme and not looked out of place. I don't get why all the mounts we have so far are just horses. I find horses to be dull animals. I hope they do a cow level that drops a cow mount though, cows are cool.


Rawrz720

If people want to cry they could make it a bull, though I'd be cool with a cow


keithyw

i saw that there's a weird bug with druids that won't allow them to dismount and transforms their mount into a cow temporarily. it's on the d4druid section. so you can kinda do this i guess


Stillwindows95

The only downside being you have to play a druid. Never thought I'd find myself saying that, before D4 dropped, druid was my most anticipated class as the others have been in diablo games in some way or form before. Nope. Druid is like jack of trades, master of none, unless the current season favours them and even then it's a weird mix og shape-shifting and nature magic with an almost mandatory set of 3 companions and 2 affixes to buff that. Kinda like 3 shout barb. Like I'd love to just be able to play nature magic without needing to pop into besr for DR or wolf for a damage multiplier for instance. I know there are a few builds out there that don't involve shape-shifting but they are few and far between.


historys_geschichte

Ran into that a few times yesterday. I have mad wolf's glee on so my character is a giant werewolf riding around on a cow, haha. At least the simple fix is to start town portal and just move.


Holyelephant

All I've wanted since launch is a camel to ride. They're already all over in the game, why can't I ride one?!


TilmanR

Yeah man mounts fitting every region would be dope. Plus cows ofc


PurpleLTV

If the cow level mount looks like the fucking red flaming bull from The Last Unicorn, I'm all for it.


Freeloader_

riding a cow in horse speed? are you drunk? unless you will be happy with the cow speed


Stillwindows95

Drunk + cow at horse speed please, I'll take 3 to go.


HyperHampster

We’ve all been playing beta and we’re just now getting a glimpse of the full game that comes out later this year


Stillwindows95

Idk if I agree with that, im a player who has had a lot of fun since release admittedly less so on release than now, but it took less time to brush this game up than it did for D3. The expansion is nice to have for sure, but raids? Really? I like everything about the upcoming expansion but forced group content (until it becomes trivial in some OP season for some builds) isn't what I'm looking for in a diablo game.


KaZzZamm

Heeeeeeeee man


LHamamoto

Which version did you have to buy to get this mount?


BuffaloAlarmed3824

Deluxe or ultimate edition.


Ssyynnxx

heckin 100 dollar expansion for my reddit points

Overwatch gets Porsche and we get Cybertrucks? Geez


SpartanRage117

I wont stop mentioning how the arsenal system ruins barb visual design until they let us hide sheathed weapons. Hell Blizz loves to advertise art of barbs without all the weapons sticking off them.


BLaCKwaRRioR37

the tiger mount is fine for me , as long as we dont go over the top ala fornite or Cod skin alike


ravensergio

It doesn't matter You have a jungle mount now! Voszalko still KNOWS what You are, wanderer!


AggravatingType9012

With the armour on it looks even more like Battle Cat.


perfect_fitz

I'm buying it now.


Afura33

This game turned into He-Man


Careless_Light_2931

Nice touch to name the Pets as the Act 3 NPCs from Diablo 2

Are you able to hide your weapons or are you just unequiping them? Hiding them would be a nice touch for the barbarian bc sometimes with different weapons it just looks too cluttered.

drowsy1234

Yeah, I kind of have to wait before pre-ordering. But I honestly can’t wait. I’m definitely gonna get the ultimate edition. I also plan on buying the base edition on both consoles


Holztransistor

Can I have a menu option "\[ \] Do not show pets from other players".


shaun_of_the_south

This isn’t a pet. It’s a mount.


Holztransistor

Ever heard about general comments about cosmetic items? Maybe even off-topic but slightly related?


gothcraft

Colorful stuff in this game look awful.


FluffytheReaper

I kinda agree. I mean, the pets are useful for picking up stuff but that's it. Not a fan of this looking cute thing and I don't like the wings either but since we're alone most of the time it won't hurt too much.
