Do we really want a pure remake?

What bots? What skill stacking? You speaking to casual player here. I never played on hell and never saw any skill-impoving charms.

You can go on BattleNet right now and see rooms all over the place dedicated to baal runs and enchant rushing. You couldn’t even miss that, they’re literally everywhere. How do you think a fire sorceress can have level 45 Warmth and level 45 Fire Mastery? Seriously. It’s quite ridiculous.

How would a charm inventory break the balance? Have you seen the charm inventory concepts D3 was going to use? Even Lack Epoch added something similar and was actually better than what D2 has. I would never assume that an entire inventory space would be what people are talking about, when you could make the space 4x4 instead. That would make the game much easier to balance.

Diablo III had good innovations. But ultimately bad overall implementation.

You know, I made this thread when I heard the announcement. Since then I went back and played a lot of OG D2 and changed my mind on some things.

  • I really really don’t want a charm inventory, that’s more than just QOL. There are significant gameplay implications to carrying different amounts of charms as well as looting different amounts of trash from the ground.
  • I also don’t want a loot filter. The itemization in D2 is very good and we don’t have screens full of trash items on the floor like we do in POE. Sifting through some garbage to find a good item is a good thing.

But I still support the idea of changing things that have awkward or tedious workarounds, for example: because we don’t have stackable runes/gems and a finite stash, we end up creating multiple mule accounts. That should be solved…

in one word yes. in 2 words yes yes
