Fans everywhere have been praying to the angels above for snippets of new information about the devilishly delightful adventure, and Blizzard have delivered by giving us a glimpse into the changes implemented after the technical Alpha. It’s safe to say the graphical overhauls are a hit.
With the Sorceress’ Lightning spell being reworked a little to look more like the original title’s version, as well as her Blizzard looking much more like the snowy rain of death that it’s supposed to, fans are over the moon with how her overhauled abilities look.
The Paladin’s icy attack has also been given a stunning new lick of paint. Holy Freeze now looks like it truly does freeze opponents, but still has the familiar charm of the original ability.
Finally, item icons have also been given some love, with the gems being given that stunning depth of color that you see when you gaze into the heart of a real ruby or topaz, and the weapons being given a bit more edge.
