Why does Diablo 3 combat look so slow compared to Diablo 2?

What did Blizzard do to the combat? Looks like everything is in slow motion. This is based on YouTube videos of gameplay footage I have seen.

Because you won't be able to put 9999999999 points into dexterity and stamina and watch how your character swings at godly speeds.

Because the animations in D2 were just a bunch of sprites moving between each other.

No runewords with attack speed / cast rate ... probably ... yeah ...definitely !

i think is because most of the footage is from low lvls.

Because those are low levels and a very small portion of Diablo III, Diablo II is also slow at low levels.

I don't think it's slow motion, combat looks a lot more fun than in previous Diablo games.

I hope there's run speed at least. MythPro1

While it was awesome to own on all the creeps because I was moving 10,000% faster than them, it doesn't really make for a really balanced game.

Also how often in diablo 2 would you enter a room and then have all the creeps magically appear on you?

Based on my experience playing the beta, it doesn't feel any slower than D2 was in act 1.spittis

OH GOD! LOOK GUYS(and gals) IT'S SO SLOW, THE GAME IS RUINED!

Sigh.

This, also I am sure Higher difficulties will be faster as well. Though I could be typing out of my a#$ on that part, lol.

Okay, so let me get this straight. Diablo 3 has:

• Slow combat
• Online connection at all times (even single player) requirement
• Too bright colors (some say WoW look) compared to previous Diablo games

Wow, what a great game! :roll:

Could they possible ruin it more? Maybe throw in a monthly fee?

WoW look? Definitely not. I had been playing Diablo 3 beta for few days now and it's absolutely fantastic. The game speed is fine. It's worth the wait, Blizzard knows what they are doing and it seems very well balanced.

Absolutely can't wait to pick it up.

its about the same
