Ah, that makes more sense 
Good question.
Agreed. Llama is super out of touch with the general d2 community. Not everyone spends their every waking hour playing this game. I think he was even suggesting nerfing the exp benefit of the TZ because he thought 99 would be reached too quicklyā¦ 
Give me a break. Even with the bonus it would be a challenge most will never complete. D2r devsā¦pleaseā¦ Donāt take what Mr.llama has to say as representative of what the rest of us want. We want gem/rune stashes (making them stackable even) more stash tabsā¦hell,even infinite stash tabs. I have 10 mules and it feels clunky and frustrating.

The d2r dev are out of touch with the players base. Stacking runes/ gems, buffing bad builds, introducing new uniques, introducing more mid runewords, escaping from dependency from infinity, etc. You are just picking what you want not what we wantā¦sad

Exactly what i stated above and more - Donāt forget Item Loot Filter being wanted since day 1 and blizzard devs will act like its hard to do when PD2 Etc have already done it in a pinch lmao

Also, who says this will even become available on non-ladder when s2 ends? Itās not like new runewords that carry over. The ladder-only thing makes no sense at all.

This describes the problem with PEOPLE and not the game. PEOPLE invent whatever āmetaā their virginity-fueled minds conjure and the same āhardcoreā virgins then group up, kicking anyone who does not comply out.
Thatās why solo or friend play is preferable to many (if not most) players vs playing with randos. You donāt have to chase the Enigma, have perfect stats or play a āmetaā if you play on your own (or with friends), for pleasure.
If someone finds that they have more fun playing the game with spreadsheets and chronometers nearby - power to them, but thatās not how most people play. It shouldnāt matter how this group of āeliteā virgins play D2R and it shouldnāt impact the game, considering theyāre the minority by all metrics.
Will cheaters / banned players be removed from the ladder standings?

As a console player and someone who played the original diablo 2 on PC for 15 years plus, quality of life is WAY more important than ānew contentā and I agree the terror zones IF they are staying should be hell only but again QoL updates would make me much happier. Canāt even communicate on console, itās broken, you need to fix it, please.

Can we stop it with the ladder exclusivity?
I really donāt care to chase that 99 on some dumb score board. I have a life to live outside the game, so I play for pleasure, which means that Iād like to keep finding cool items, trading and making and leveling more characters as I find/make build-enabling items for them. I understand that playing from scratch and āfresh economyā are appealing to many, but obviously not to others. I play solo or with missis/friends, do a bit of trading and thatās been a jolly good time since the game dropped last September. If anything - Iād like a higher character limit, because Iāve reached mine ages ago (various builds + mules).
Terror Zones sound fantastic to me. I donāt have the time or the patience to keep grinding Baal, nor do I have the urge to join random peopleās games (outside of trading). Having a rotation of maps that have increased monster levels for exp/drops is MASSIVE for solo players and I canāt say that Iām against it one bit, considering the alternatives.
Ideally - TZs and ladder runewords should appear in SP, while Iād be ok with just the TZs making it to non-ladder. Ideally Iād want the runewords in NL too, but letās give the kids something to salivate over so they play the fresh game again, thatās fine.
Obviously Iām personally not bothered when the next season starts, but find it funny how others canāt wait a couple of weeks. Itās obvious that whatever the next upgrades are (TZs being the major one) - it makes more sense to nail them and THEN do a season with it all working properly. Being utterly incapable of waiting a couple of weeks for a better experience is just ludicrous, thereās no debating that, so those people can just be safely ignored. The game wonāt die because Joe Compulsive couldnāt get his same-as-before ladder fix 2-4 weeks earlier.
Hammerdins got a mention here as well. Smells like a potential nerf? Iād be SUPER careful touching that, because while the hammer damage is relatively big - the vulnerability of being stationary for a long time casting (without the Enigma) and the pattern the hammers follow (truly annoying, cāmonā¦) make this build not as pleasurable to play as something more varied and mobile, like a javazon or a sorceress (IMO, anyway - and I love my pallys!).
To sum it up:
- TZs are fine and I welcome this new way for us filthy casuals to reach higher levels on our characters playing solo.
- I donāt feel like hammerdins need touching
- HIGHER CHARACTER LIMIT ON BNET (seriouslyā¦ if youāre gonna force us to mule stuff because nothing stacks - increase that limit. Also the current limit isnāt really enough to cover the character+build variety and a couple of mules anyway)
- More SP and non-ladder content, please. Not everyone gives a toss about the ladder. TZs are a must for NL!
- Donāt sweat the S2 start time. Do it when itās ready and proper. The nerds can wait.

blizzard is a small indy company witch canāt give to players even a ladder reset once every 4 month, iām not talking about any really new content or desired QOL changes. Terror zones are joke in turms of ādevoloping new contentā coz itās not a new content itās a joke and this joke hold us from getting S2 start coz even with that joke they canāt be in the schedule.
Pathetic

SURELY you are patient enough to wait a little bit for a more exciting and better S2ā¦ rightā¦?
Throwing your toys out the pram yelling āI want new ladder NOW NOW NOW!ā isnāt wise in this case.
If you want to grow your peepee and have a āfresh startā - go start your own āladderā in SP, see how hardcore it can get screwing around for a rune drop when you canāt trade 
Totally agree that we could stop with the ladder exclusivity
But then there needs to be something attracting people to play ladder
What could it be?
Actually itās pretty easy and already tough of
Multiple ladders
With these kind of activities you could have
-
a pvp leader board
-
a exp leaderboard
-
a bounty leaderboard
-
a super Unique hunting leaderboard (both quantity of kill and level of empowerment)
-
a circles of hell depth leaderboard
-
a % game clear leaderboard
Add Ssf to this and people care so much more about the integrity of those ladders
I dont like the idea of 45lifers and 451scs being more common in the future due to Terrorzones.
Also I dont like Terrorzones to be the new thing to reach 99.
Both these changes alter the game too much.
Easy solution
, cap Terrorized Areas at lvl87 and give other incentives like increased mf and drop rates
current playercount(x+2)
mf +100
25% chance for a shrine to spawn as superchest
thx bye
As much as I want the tz to bring something fresh, I agree. Iād be fine pumping out another season and waiting for the update if need be. This can give the chance to sp and nl players getting tz too.

Yeah Iām also in the boat that this isnāt what was most requested or even needed. Currency tab and loot filter are the top two feature requests, and buffing unique items to actually be competitive with runeword is right there with it.
Donāt nerf one personās fun just because someone else doesnāt like it. Boost the others to be effective and fun on their own. Also, this absolutely should be on non ladder as well.
My controversial opinion is to either remove or severely limit immunities. I think they were the start of build diversity being limited. Keep champions or elite enemies with the immunities if you must, but Iām just not a fan. Of course, my first two points are far more relevant and important for me.

i agree! iāve got a fair few NL characters in the mid to low 90ās from before ladder started and will gain a few more once season 2 starts (as iām sure a lot of us will). Itād be great if terror zones came to NL as iād love to push towards getting a handful of these to 99 now that this feature makes it achievable.
