As it is right now, Diablo Clone spawns on IP addresses which people use to game the system and spawn clones only on off-realms. People are spawning clones on Asia to keep the value of Annihilus charms excessively controlled. I suggest that the system be modified to make it so that the same amount of games get a spawn, but rather than it be based on IP, instead, spawn it on random games when the correct amount is sold. This would prevent gaming the system, and makes it so ordinary people get a chance at these.

Your characters are Global, it doesnt matter if you spawn clone in US, EU or asia. Spawning clone in asia has nothing to do with control over it.
Why would someone sell 120 sojs for one anni, and a bunch of free annies to randoms?

Not true, they are still hosted on IP addresses and are not global. See d2jsp discussions regarding this subject.
It is true, you can change your region on the launcher and play the exact same character on any region. Which makes it possible to trade with people everywhere in the world. I’m on eu and have traded with alot with americans.
I dont use that scam site. Nor do i care about it.
Yes they spawn clone on asia IP, so what? These annis are still Global, they are not region locked. If you want to participate there are groups who do selling together to spawn clone.
But i still agree that it should be changed. I dont likd the controll summoning. It should be random ad it is in D2 plugy.
Join other cooperating groups to get anni and stop cry for random games so maybe you can get your hands on free anni.

This is probably the best system, random.

IIRC the original method of spawning Diablo Clone was in order to drain the massive numbers of duped SOJ’s from the servers.
With new servers comes new loot. No mass duped SOJ’s. No Raven Spirals. Etc.
So yes. The method of spawning DClone needs to change with the modern changes. Selling an item that never drops anyways for the random chance at spawning a DClone that you may not even be able to kill is a little ridiculous IAH.

It should definitely keep with the spirit of why it was instituted. That was to get rid of an overwhelming supply of duped SoJs. So whatever spawns dclone now should be in high supply as well.
If duping is fixed, why should the old system stay in place?
Because annis have become part of the meta.
what makes you think there isn’t an overwhelming supply of duped sojs in D2r? hahaha…you sweet summer child. If Classic WoW had flying zg bots and teleporting hacking black lotus bots, what do you think is going to happen behind the scenes in those private games?
Apparently the IP address games are capped at around 250? So that mean’s only 250 Annis go out at one time? If that’s the case how the does this system even make sense? There are dozens of IP addresses. That means the Anni count should be lowered to around 3 - 5 IF they don’t want to change how it functions. That way when you sell a SoJ you HOPE someone else sold one on this IP OR that someone else will see the notification and sell theirs shortly after, but no one should be able to use a 3rd party tool to track the IP address.
Ideal: change it to 1 in 5 chance to Spawn Uberclone on Soj sell or spawns randomly in hell games.
Why 1 in 5? Because this stays in line with the RNG theme of the game and getting an Anni should be a “holy s***” moment (which is the whole point of the screen shake in the first place).
I’m willing to discuss this further if anyone thinks this is an unfair proposal.

The currency was for duped soj’s back in D2 it really does need to change.
Random chance to spawn from just doing things in the game would be great but we know the purists wont want that but the same moronic purists like QoL changes.

D2JSP, where you can buy anything D2 with real money. D2JSP is the napster of D2. keep giving them money for dupes.
My biggest suggestion to the blizzard team would be to change it to chance of on fridays at 0730pm pacific time or eastern time for your game you are in to have a 1/100 chance of spawning. Instead of this stupidity of peoples egos and stupidity of not being a gaurentee of dclone. 1 soj = HR or so, so that about 80 High runes worth of stuff to get a stupid chance at a charm barring some stupid server issue which have been plentiful.
My suggestion would be make this more like an event for games and to put into perspective of a timed thing to where everyone has fair chance at spawning said clone.
I still have yet to even see stones of jordan sold to vendor on d2r i assume because im bugged and blizzard hates me because they aint me. Granted the blizzard team is highly incompetent seemingly so with d2r bugs and the obvious release debaccle. It is my hope that someone on the team understands changes are actually needed and not to let californian agenda ego to dictate how they feel.
You say dupes but we technically get an annihilus from a dupe it self.
it has everything to do with it. if there are obvious queue issues. Then lets say you are lucky and your game crashes (with about 75% crash rate seemingly whenever drops start improving a crash seems to ensue for some reason)
