Blizzard generated much love from its fans when it announced earlier in the summer plans to release Diablo III, the next game in their action-RPG series. However, a few fans have since expressed their concerns about the more "colorful" art style that the game will have. Diablo III's lead designer Jay Wilson has dismissed any idea of going back to a darker art style, stating that Diablo III's gameplay demanded it.

Now, in an apparent attempt to head off another backlash from fans of the first two games, Wilson has stated that the upcoming reveal of the third player class in the game could be upsetting to some as well. So far Blizzard has only revealed the barbarian class (held over from Diablo II) and the Witch Doctor class (a new class that's said to be a replacement for the old necromancer class). Wilson admits that fans of the old necromancer class aren't happy and says, "...when we announce the next class, which is quite similar to a previous class, then all those players will hate us too. You can't make everybody happy, but I think when the game finally come out players will find there's a good class for them, one they will love as much as the ones that came before." Wilson added that they would consider putting in older classes in any expansion pack to the game but for Diablo III's main release, "We want to establish our identity."
