I think the game is resembling Warcraft simply because Blizzard designers are learning a lot from the game mechanics specifically behind World of Warcraft.
They're expanding the color palette most likely to assist with the pacing of the game, and that constantly shifting contrast ("first you're in a really bright desert, then you're inside a really dark pyramid") propel that sense of progress that players have as they move through the game.
It's one thing to have that gritty, dirty visual style in a dungeon instance that's supposed to last for an hour or two, it's another to have that exact same gritty visual style for the entire several hundred hours that you'll be playing the game.
One of the ways that playability is enhanced, and monotony is prevented is by having that really extreme sense of contrast, as well as the bright color palette.
Furthermore, I understand that most Diablo players don't want a color palette that looks like it was extracted from a Night Elf starting zone, but by the same token I feel like Blizzard wants to reach out to the millions of folks in the WoW contingency that might want to start playing Diablo for the first time if it looks and feels like something they are already very familiar with.
The leading is off.
If this is what the Production Designer made based on what the Art Director wanted, you might want to consult with Creative to see what kind of spacing to use.
The ban isn't because the Nerf guns look like fluorescent SuperSoakers, it's because some of them are fairly accurate replicas of actual guns.
Think of the following conditions: 1. You're in a university classroom 2. Somebody walks in brandishing what looks like a small firearm 3. You have milliseconds to react 4. ??? 5. VTEC JUST KICKED IN, YO
For people not directly involved in the game, this scenario will, at best, be an unpleasant distraction from academics.
A bat flapping around is really very conspicious because of the way it flaps around.
Also, they need to equip the solar-powered bat with solar-powered recon devices and solar-powered flashlights.
I first got into D&D in 5th grade, and it has taught me much over the years, such as learning about other cultures and their mythologies through Dieties & Demigods, Oriental Adventures, Monster Manual, etc.
Good bye, Gary, may your travels be safe, wherever you are, and may all your rolls be 20s.

Don't you think she's curious about what the President's schlong looks like?

Moments lost in time. Like tears, in the rain.
Electrodes would be a much needed improvement! All I have is a pointy twig with which I make holes in the punchcards.

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time.

The moon's easy enough for a first target, we'll get to Wolf-Biederman skill levels after a couple of years!
