Absolutely agree, Merc1138
As I said, Nostalgia is a powerful bias. I'm sure these people played Diablo 1 or 2 back in the day, but it has been years. They forgot about all the bright skills like chain lightning, meteor, nova, lightning fury, poison nova, firestorm, armageddon, phoenix strike, lightning trap, torch procs, insight aura from their mercenary (blue sparkles and a white cloud), charged bolt procs from lightning enchanted uniques, the list goes on. Diablo 1 had chain lightning, nova, firewall, fireballs, etc, as well. Also there are those hiddens that ooze yellow when they die. They also forget about the lush green fields of act 1 (where many of us killed cows for an eternity), the bright sands and arcane sanctuary of act 2, the fiery lava and colored oblivion knight bolts from act 4, and the ice fields of act 5 (and of course everyone skipped act 3, the only act without any colorful environments). Plus the desert in D3 is considerably darker in palette than the desert in D2.
Exactly, people forget that this is what Diablo 2 looked like:
