I think terror zones are a fine idea in theory, but it being a big pain to play the game up to level 95 is a way bigger deal than the difficulty getting to 99. Top priority should be inventory stuff and this includes classic, not just LoD. Classic is currently borderline unplayable except for online on PC, where it’s still a big pain. The lack of ability to transfer items anywhere else makes SSF your only option.

The best feature you had was a shorter ladder season. Was pumped to hit that timeframe because that meant season 3 starting close to between holidays xmas and new years when a lot of people have off and need to get away from family. I appreciate the effort, but wish we did PTR’s middle of a ladder, not delaying the next one. The fact we are rushing this one like this makes me nervous this is the last one. If so we need to get the QOL stuff people have been asking for and allowing modding for non-ladder.
Just throw in some more immune balances, charm stash), stackable runes/gems, /player 8 on bnet (no one is actually team mfing anyways), fix some of the wonky AI’s, and let us show an item preview when making a game instead of typing in stats in a text box.
Excited for solid dates and the updates! Thank you once again for reviving this glorious game.
I guess no news again today… 
Lets gooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

The same guys that complain about Non-Ladder not receiving the same treatment as Ladder are the same guys that will end up buying Ladder Only Runewords from websites or trading for lesser Ladder Only Runewords rather than putting in the work to grind the items themselves. Terror Zones are reserved for the players that put the work in. Ladder has been the end game since it’s existed. Consider yourself lucky that they have even remastered the game and done a damn good job at it.
With all due respect, this is not true at all. I’m wondering if you’re new to Diablo 2. Ladder has never, ever been considered the end-game of D2. Not ever. That’s like saying hardcore was the end-game. Most people played non-ladder back in the day, especially when leveling was so much easier with cows. Ladder is simply an alternative play mode for folks who want to race to 99 and/or have a fresh economy less saturated with dupes. Ladder is a mode of play, like hardcore. It’s not the end-game.
Moreover, claiming that non-ladder players are the only ones who spend real money buying D2 items is patently absurd. D2jsp is just as active for ladder, if not more so, than non-ladder. Non-ladder players have always had access to ladder-only runewords because they transfer to non-ladder after each season. The ladder-only runewords happened to be the best items in the game also.
Finally, your assertion that ladder players “deserve” Terror Zones because they “earn it” is absurd. Except for during the first few weeks of a fresh ladder, there is no material difference in difficulty between the two modes. Eventually, the ladder’s economy grows to such a large extent that the novelty wears off. Terror Zones trivialize the leveling process to such a large extent because they substantially increase the xp earned per hour versus Baal runs. This says nothing of the massive affects Terror Zones have on the economy. Rare items are going to be so much more common because you’re going to be able to MF in places like Cows with lvl 99 mobs.
If ladder players are the so-called elite as you would claim, why do they need an easier lvling system and improved mfing? Ladder players will get to lvl 99 in a fraction of the time it takes non-ladder players to do so. Ladder is now the easy mode.
Pez just told me on TikTok he apologize to not answering. he is at swiming pool and right after he has to record the next week apologize message about not reset yet. so may be he gonna message us tomorow to apologize, but not sure.

Just as I expected, looking like a Thursday post unfortunately.
“Good things come to those that wait.”
-Said the person not waiting on anything most likely. 
Bear changes were a huge buff. They went from having one single build that just abused a broken mechanic to having multiple options now
Looks like another Wednesday update… Can’t think of any other company, much less a billion dollar one, that consistently waits till the day before an update is due to give any information at all about it.
Keep in mind that the game is 20 years old, it’s probably not that easy to change things. Imagine yourself restoring an old building, you have to be careful about changes otherwise the whole house will collapse, same with this game!
We should be thankful for they fixing D2? they do this for free?

Keep in mind that PoD and PD2 have exponentially less funding and staff and yet do way more in way less time

Yea except that their “fixes” tend to break the game and make it worse, especially for pvp. Sure if they want to add qol, even new content go right ahead. But NO ONE asked them to change existing fundamental mechanics of the game
Tech debt has been removed in remaster - Oh u want to debate still? Look at PD2/MEDIAN XL- get back to me, If high priced DEV Team/s can’t do what 2-4 people accomplished as a passion project mod, then blizzard has more issues than we know and from the looks it, the issues are def. there - including as sidenote, look at what BT mods been doing and progressing.
Yea…

They need to slowly ruin D2R so you will have to play D4 when it’s launched. D4 is way more profitable than D2R
It’s not that hard to comprehend
poe is built in 2011, a much more modern game platform than d2 from 1998. Poe and Poe2 are bought by one of the world’s richest game companies - Tencent, they have alot of devs and money.
Tencent is a very large Investment corp. - Entertainment is just one of their divisions.
However, GGG was owned AND built by them SELFS for many years.
But King was talking about PoD/PD2/ and ill throw medianXL in there, they are Diablo2 MODS w/ Online play/private server hosting, Yet they have done more with their modding of diablo2 than all of D2R team has done, I mean blizzard entertainment didn’'t even remaster it as a studio - Vicarious Visions / a activision sub moved /merged into blizzard in 2021.
I mean just look at what BTNeanderthal has done with his mod on D2R for single player, Adding mass changes//colors/tons of other stuff, bigger cube etc lmao – Blizzard can’t even get Terror Zones down done in a timely manner.
Unfort. i wonder how many Vicarious Visions 200ish employees are around and how many DEVs work on D2R before their put on diff. projects.
