Bruh, all they would need to do is add a SSF box when making character, an make it so those players can’t access lobbies or have friends join them… lol playing by youeself is already built into the game. It’s literally the play button next to lobbies.
Your only complaints are that there’s no economy. The gameplay is still the same.
What you want is an economy. So, go invest in wall street. You’ll see your investments increase or decrease and can play the flipper all you want.
Well you clearly can’t read. Which was stated above already…
- Ladders don’t exist. As long as you can start a new ladder and purchase items with FG there is no real reset. FG is a currency that carries over ladder to ladder bypassing the reset. Some of us real players actually play the resets.
This alone demands a SSF mode. Now I understand why you’re against it… probably some scrub trying to protect his FG. Side note I already have investments, and I already make insane money I don’t need advice from you. There’s a big difference from making money and relaxing chillin and playing a game on free time.
this is what you seem to be missing…
you say that… and yeah blizzard cant do that…
but im assuming your GOAL here is to compare yourself to other players playing with only SSF stuff. aka having a ladder that supposedly means something in your weird definition of things that supposedly have meaning
this would mean.. blizzard would need to prevent players from bringing online items into.
which a checkbox would not do.
the “play” button next to lobby does not prevent other from joining your game… it still creates a game name and a password, that anyone can join if they know it.
it would be childs play to move an items between realm to that SSF character.
you people dont freaking think… you think “oh this is so simple” and don’t see the millions of ways a person could easily break that wide open with a modicum of effort.
your goal of SSF is a goal to have a ladder than means something at least to you…
im guessing that people brining in runewords from sell site they bought online into SSF isnt part of your plan
therefore you would need to PREVENT THAT.
which A CHECKBOX DOES NOT DO.
to do that you would need to make an entirely separate realm… which blizzard isn’t going to do.
even thing like " preventing players from joining your game"
is EASY to get around… and they dont NEED to join the game WITH you… the game just need to stay open while the item is on the floor.
you think this is some sort of “easy thing” blizzard can do with a simple change.
and yeah… if no one on the planet had any incentive to try to break it wide open… then sure.
but your going to have people trying to cheat and bring online stuff in… and until you can prevent that. its not going to happen
and blizzard would be STUPID to try to give you a system that anyone with an once of knowledge about online gaming could be broken open in less than a month.
Correct, they need to get a hold on botting, that is the biggest issue. If bott’ing is controlled, /players 8 is not needed as much. Also Act6 expansion would be to die for. Possibly an official RMAH. I am perfectly happy with trading fg atm, just not happy people are loaded with 500k fg, and can kit 20 full toons for botting every season day 1.
SSF already exists, just go play single player or play online and just do not trade lol.
What is wrong with this? Currently the only people who are making money are the ones botting. Bring back the days of D3 launch, with no to very little bots, and anyone who plays the game a decent amount can make $1-$2k in a couple of weeks. It should be like this every season. They could require complete KYC meaning ID and paperwork for every account made. 1-2 accounts per federal ID, and no accounts can map simultaneously. Most easy bot prevention. Bots can emulate people perfectly now, just look at x and other heavily botted platforms. It’s also is about balance i.e not being able to map Chaos Sanctuary full clear A4 easily without prereq items, that you can only afford day 1 because of the bots.
This is so good and is what makes diablo 2 the diablo 2 franchise we know and love lol.
If you want that, go play D3/D4/PoE, D2 has always had and always should have an economy. That is what is wrong with PoE honestly and 1 reason I will not play D3/D4 or PoE. You can not make all the games SSF with a ladder lol. That is not fair. Make it an option if anything, if you really love D2R that much, but certainly kill the botting and all of this is solved.
Why does botting make /players X online needed?
It does not, just evens the playing field a little more. I actually bought 7 accounts for this to multibox hell cows on my zon to have an advantage over people who can’t /players 8, but leveling each one, every season manually is a pain in the a$$. I have no idea the bots methods, if they just players 1 or if they players 8 with some other method late season and just have them farm different zones?
My goal is to play an ARPG that was designed with ladder resets to actually have real ladder resets. It currently doesnt.
SSF = SOLO SELF FOUND. Figured that would be obvious but apparently not. It’s easy to do. No players can join your game. You can’t enter lobbies. Nobody can give you items. If you want it, find it on your own character. Period.
That was an example of how they already have servers for each freaking player genius. it’s already built into the games design.
No, you’re confused because you can’t read and comprehend what people said and now are off on a tangent about some random stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with SSF.
Game was designed by the original devs with ladder resets, we currently don’t have that in the game. Tech evolves FG abuse broke the original design now it needs to be corrected.
… /facepalm… you can’t in SSF genius.
What concept is hard for you to understand… a SSF player won’t have access to lobbies or the ability to type in what game he wants to join… lol. This is like elementary level concept… how is this confusing to you?

You’re playing multiplayer online, find a group of friends to farm with. Boom, /players up to 8. Or play local single player with the /players X command.
You will be lucky to have 1-3 friends for such a dead game.
OK, well if it’s so dead, then why are you worried about competing with botters?
Can also KYC and only let 1 account per federal ID run /players 8 at a time. Though the russians are pretty good at forging KYC paper work now days anyways.
Hardly FG is just as bad. SSF is the only answer to counter all the neckbeards who want to cheat. The current ladder would still exist. SSF players just wouldn’t have to deal with the FG scrubs separate ladder.

Oh, an official SSF mode would be nice, yea. Though, I much prefer an economy personally, I like endgame PvP and I think its the best mode for the game, non SSF though. SSF in PvP is kinda aids, cuz you can’t minmax and are entirely based on rolls/rng. I think they both need to exist non botted economy and SSF mode.
I find it crazy how such a large number of players have gotten used to how quickly they can gear up in the game because of botters. Since Blizzard can’t or won’t do anything about the botters, they think the solution is to make the game even faster paced than it already is by enabling /players X online, which if playing solo essentially adds 21 additional difficulties to the game with increased levels of experience and drops.
99 is reached in what, roughly a weeks time now? It’d probably only be 48 to 72 hrs with /players X online.
I stopped playing after launch because of all the bots actually. I was upset by how easy it is to gear and how cheap things are now.
That’s why I play SSF… I’d like for Blizzard to enable a SSF ladder, but good luck getting them to lift a finger to do anything.

What i’m suggesting wouldn’t affect the current iteration of the game at all. It would just bring alternative ladder to players who play legit. Regular characters can continue to play exactly how they are now. An before any person wants to chime in a say they don’t want to effect the playerbase… give me a freaking break the max players for a lobby are 8 it’s barely even multiplayer to begin with.
Personally I would not play but I do see the appeal or if I did, I would play it like 10% and the game mode with the economy like 90% of the time, as long as there is handling for bots. Currently, I do not play d2r at all because of the bots. The game is dead to me.
