While every patch has a great potential to improve the game, it somehow manages to make it worse every single time
My biggest concern about the game was that it is going to be made too eazy too quickly, and we are almost there.
Sunder charms had to be rarer than gheeds, they are not. This alone is ruining the game on a level that is gonna be unplayable.
Cold sorceress is boring as hell from day 2 of ladder as it clears everything with no gear and p8 with little gear.
Hammerdin is still op
Terror zones only make people play them solo, which incentives solo online play even more then before.
My predictions is that by next ladder we will see the true death of this game as long term players that loved d2 will quit one by one

This for me changes nothing
Players farming solo was already a large part of the game
It was just bosses and cows and chaos Pindle etc
Now they just added TZ to the list.
For me TZ are a nice welcome addition minus the arguements to be made for Xp gains and loot drop

Ah yes, because robotic braindead grinding (human-bot project) is challenging, not just time consuming and stupid.
Great patch, best in D2’s history.

You are grinding tbe same crap with this patch, you have no point there
Ah yes, did not know Terror Zones are equal to doing csbaal/ nihalathak 23432423432432 times.
This patch literally allows you to play the game with Terror Zones.

This is a really strange opinion. I am not sure if you understand how powerful she becomes with the proper gear AND sunder charm. It is obvious to everyone that the game is getting boring too easily now. They should do something about it.

I think terror zones have been a good implementation. But the cold sunder, and the principal behind what sunder is supposed to do, is game breaking – and you explained why. Ladder is already over for me because I have no need to gear up another character to farm countess or any other area. My cold sorc can steam roll everything with ease in mediocre gear now. I can only enjoy games if I am playing them efficiently, so just ignoring this dynamic, and rolling another character for no reason is not an option. I can only min/max. And I’m not alone. They need to get rid of these sunders.

It is clear as day, the bosom requires not the suckle for milk.
Sorry, watching house of dragons.
The game is now dogcrap. There is no challenge whatsoever, those that do not wish a challenge revel in being born 99 and never dying.
Please christ, make a LoD mode.

If they fixed cold mastery to be at 1/5th and nerfed hammerdin while having sunder charms be rarer than gheeds, i would have loved this season.

What the hell are you talking about? Her power is unchanged, only difference is that you can run other content you were locked out from before because of immunities.
And also completely useless because majority content would be locked out from you becsuse you would do little dmg to cold immunes.
Thats the whole point, thats how it is with the other builds. Why the , do you want to clear the game with no effort?

I dont know why you ask me that. I didnt claim there is no effort. You say that.
Just because you can damage monsters doesnt mean game is easy. Difficulty of game is mostly created by what monsters can do to you together with hell penalties.

2.5 is literally the greatest patch in D2’s history, it added so much freshness and rekindled my love for D2. I know this is the opinion of the majority too. End of.
Blizzard really outdone themselves this time, hopefully more good changes in the future.
Also Immunity is tedious, tedious is not difficulty. Actually fighting the Monsters (especially in TZ) is the difficulty, not skipping them. Common sense is getting as bad as the drop rates in these forums.
Yep, keep on driving them to make uniques drop like sunder charms, then you will end up with 1 week seasons and 4 months of dead game
It’s too bad no one is asking for that, beating that strawman feels good? Better drop rates does not mean going from one current bad extreme, to the other extreme.
You mean kind of like Purist Season 1? That was miserable and I quit after a week or two.
I’d rather have drop rate crybabies quit than them ruining the game cometely

Luckily your say has no value, as we are proven to be way more valuable than Purists and D2R is for us.
More changes coming and we will keep asking, get used to it or go back to D2: LoD.

Thats been covered a hundred times. You can make change without making the game trivial - 2.4 is a fine example of this.
Honestly, i appreciate you do not wish a challenge, and just want to win. I get that, everyone needs a win once in a while. But for the long term, you need some strife before the win to get a sense of achievement.
Fast food is great, but you dont eat it everyday.
