It's humor... and not at all "hate" in my opinion.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

I didn't see any ponies. There were mufti-color horses all over the place, and I even saw a zebra, but no ponies! No problem!

[Starshine 16,334]

Hey, in lots of games you can kill some horses. Even in Age of Mythology you can kill lots of pegasus

 

Unless these colourful horses got a cutie mark, it's not a problem

 

E: Just finished watched the video, friggin hilarious

 

It's just a reference. You can't really hopes that Blizzard set the horses as NPCs. It's either items or wild mobs

Pink and Purple Unicorns? Enemies named "Midnight Sparkle"? And "Nightmare is Magic"?

if it was just horses instead of cows and they weren't clearly alluding to MLP - fine.

But they are.

I find this more awesome than anything else. Remember Diablo has always been a violent series, and they would not risk loosing a fan base just to 'hate' on us. So no, expecting anything else from them than this is wishful thinking.

[FLARE 952]

I think it would have to be a little bit more targeted to be considered actual hating on this fandom.

I personally see it as more of a joke as it is vague.

[Tenshinohana 264]

It's a joke, I believe. And the reference is more to the G1 and G2 ponies by the look of it. This is kind of an overreaction for this, or so I think ^^ If they do something like this, it doesn't mean somepony hates it, right?

[WildCard 1,037]

I am also not too happy about this level. I like Diablo3 but not really it's "humour"

[Rainbow_Crash 92]

oh cmon its obviously generic cunning blizzard... they just want the game to be known more and use that joke

[AJHunter 265]

I don't see why it should matter. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even game devs.

[Nas 2,873]

...and to think that I trusted Activiison all this time..... –_(

 

Oh well, I don't hate them now, I just kinda like them a little less....

Obviously the made it look that way to not break the copyright from Hasbro. There is mini-boss monsters with the names Midnight Sparkle, Nightmare is Magic.

 

On topic, i don't mind this at all.. I think it's funny that Blizzard take references from all kind of media.

[Glaceon 793]

Im not going to do this level.

[Viscra Maelstrom 3,718]

this is less Blizzard hating on MLP and targeting hate towards the fanbase and more of Blizzard taking a stab towards the fans who thought that Diablo III were too cartoony looking compared to its older games. so then they went the "oh, cartoony? okay fine then here you go, have some cartoony." route.

 

of course they reference the show with stuff like "Nightmare is Magic" and "Midnight Sparkle", but i really think they're more taking a stab at the fans who found the game's artstyle to be too cartoony than taking a stab at the bronies with that level.

[Tenshinohana 264]

I actually find this even more amusing after this...

 

Well, everypony doesn't have the same humour, alright~

[Vicke 3,189]

As everyone have stated, This is a joke!

A simple joke. Blizzard dont mean any ''harm'' to us bronies.

Instead of viewing it as hate, view it as a shout out. It won't seem so bad then.

[Flow 1,629]

It seemed like your implying that you view all girly stuff as MLP:FIM, but the names, not offending to me. Anyways I would find this actually fun

I'm the last person who would ever imply MLP:FiM as "girly" ~ maybe you never saw my profile or my welcome post, but I grew up with the G1 ponies. And I have stated several times how weak and pathetic and boring they were.

@ ALL - "hating" is not a literal term here.

You are all making it seem like I think that Mike Morhaime shouted down, "Let us kill My Little Ponies in our next game - Devs make it so!"

I think not. I worked for Blizzard. I know how they are.

& the fact is that if they wanted to push back or whatever you wanna call it - against people calling it too cartoony - they could have chosen plenty of other cartoon - styles to emulate.

Maybe some of YOU are the ones overreacting - to the title of the post.

 

Yes I understand it's a joke. So was my title. I was more offended over this video on youtube -

 

 

 

BE WARNED THIS IS REALLY GROSS - WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK AND PLEASE NOT BEFORE OR AFTER EATING!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However, I just don't find slaying unicorns and watching their blood and guts pop all over the screen as very funny, especially when they are oh so obviously making fun of MLP.

I play World of Warcraft and let me tell you, plenty of their player base could use a little "Love and Tolerance". A LOT of it.

 

I'm just saying - Slay demons, fight Diablo, hell you can kill critters all day long, but ... "you better think before you laugh at the Pink...ie Pie!"

Just don't mess with my ponies.

Realize that in trying to provoke My Little Pony fans, they garner attention to themseves. "Any publicity is good publicity."

This is true.

[Flow 1,629]

Well, I don't want to be mean, I take back my words

[yehaaa6 60]

seems like the OP is being a bit sensitive... remember that Diablo 3 has been in development for 11 years and that before FiM existed then MLP was just a crappy girl's show to sell toys.
