Please. Is this a change that would satisfy everyone? Maybe we can just finish what is already great? Could add a merc maybe. But maybe add some intros and a lil extra act map. One more quest or so. I don’t think anyone would be super upset if they tweaked a few uniques. It is not needed by me. Then again, im only trying to satisfy everyone. Maybe we should work with what we got and be happy though. Been playing this game since day 1. Not a fan of all the changes, but it has not ruined the game for me. To The sorcerers at blizzard…….we are not going to stop playing. And psychologically if you give the d2 players what they want…..they will be more likely to favor your company and buy future products. If you mess with d2 res too much…….it does draw animosity. Thanks for d2 res. I honestly appreciate that. God bless.
Modern blizzard would find some way to dumpster it as evidenced by the horrible work they’ve done on D2R and WC3R. The new graphics are ugly, and some of the classic graphics in D2R STILL don’t work properly: I’d submitted a bug report ages ago about the sorc’s (and ONLY the sorc’s) lightning skills not rendering properly as they should and it still isn’t fixed. The glow effect randomly doesn’t render like it should, yet it works fine for every other class - even ones which use the same assets like the assassin.
Meanwhile, I can boot up my OG copy of LoD, play on bnet, and the graphics for the sorc skills work fine.
If LoD expansion didn’t extend act 4 then I’m sure it’s considered finished as it is. I don’t need more story in D2R. Many rush through leveling anyway.
d2r graphics are pretty well done objectively speaking that is
Wish they would add waypoint at plains of despair. Doing terror zones have to walk/tele all the way there but it would be faster if there was a waypoint!
Objectively speaking, a remaster requires a faithful adaptation to a property. Which means that objectively, D2R’s remastered graphics are kind of trash. For a remaster to be done well, it requires:
- Actually adapting things faithfully and not censoring it.
- Not beating everyone with the ugly stick, aging them up 20-30 years, and completely changing how the people look. (Re-iteration of point 1? Yes. But also important to state)
D2R’s graphics completely change the tone and look of the game in a way it was never intended to look. Assuming you’re not being dishonest, you need only look at the original high-poly renders and concept art to know what the original team was going for. D2R’s remade graphics clearly weren’t the intended direction.
Just to be clear, objectively speaking, you are wrong. What you have stated here are opinions, come back to this thread when you have arguments.
Every act, the ppl in town talk, do stuff. not in act 4. Some old school players can see how this would be nice. Im sorry if its not a new weapon. The act is not finished dude. That would be a real remaster to me. And it does not change the game in a certain way like many things do.
Objectively speaking: If what I have stated are opinions, your claim is also comprised entirely of opinions.
Finally a good idea. Act 4 is actually so short because they ran out of time for launch so finishing it now would be actually fitting with the game.
