It’s not going to be a surprise to everyone when D4 comes out that D2R will suffer. Here’s two small proposals I think will keep the game going for ages. These can be implemented next season (5) without a problem.
- Standard of Hero’s should give users 90-95% damage reduction in PVP when taking hits by another player.
- Add a new mode torment where item drop rates and XP is much slower to extend the season and eliminate Player 8 XP gains. Player 1 vs. 8 you get the same XP. All you do is kill faster.
Ah yes, let’s further kill the already dead PvP in D2R.

Kind of weird suggestion. Its also not explained at all how will that help. I am really confused.
D2R mainly suffers because of botters. Not pvp not having enough dr% or gane not having tirment difficulty lol.
at this point i just have to be happy we had season 0 and season 1…
i’m either, quitting diablo completely or moving to LoD. these devs are so bad.

you make it playable other than just 1 lucky kill hit? pvp is so broken because everything is overpowered. 90-95% might not be the right number but taking full dmg makes pvp boring.
1.10 made pvp boring. so i dunno, i think playing around with some numbers to make it actually interesting would be the way to go but let’s be real. nothing is going to happen .
I do not really think D2R will suffer much from the new Diablo 4.
I am not sure the new game will be that much appealing to old timers like myself who enjoy the simplicity ( simple and small numbers ) , simple skill trees and straightforward itemization.
For instance, I played Diablo 3 for awhile but as soon as D2R arrived, I simply lost interest in D3 and uninstalled. Just not a fan of Rift, Torment, over the top stats and damage/HP that reach in the 100k and more. Zillion grades of jewelry and crafting and special items. Just too overwhelmingly annoying.
I prefer simple stupid like D2R but deceivingly fun and addicting.
Anyway, just because of battle pass and mmo style content, I am gonna pass on D4 entirely.
Which is why you don’t.
@OP, to clarify, are you asking for all pvp damage to be reduced by an additional 12%, or for the 17% of your damage you do deal to be reduced by 95%?
Because they’re both bad ideas, one is just worse than the other
d2 classic 1.06 and d2 lod1.09 handdown with also pvp
Blizzard just does understand how to make a good RPG anymore. They confuse what items… and classes are. It’s just that same terrible D3 design. I don’t want an item to define my spec… I want my spec to define the items I need.
