Give us a terror zone tracker or schedule for online tzs

Hi Blizz,
Please let us know which terror zones are coming up. It’s really frustrating to see that your favourite terror zones just started right after you left your pc/console.

There are already player hosted trackers which seem to get the information of the next terror zone, but as it is player hosted it is not available to everyone.

Do it Blizzard. You owe us at least a tracker if you don’t make every zone terrorised at all times

People nowadays just want to know everything. What a shame. Maybe you also know in advance when your next HR drops?

Why are you trolling?

Random terror zones is just awful since they are so unbalanced. Nobody would care if they would be on the same level. But you have a difference of more than 10 times as much xp in the best vs the worst zones.
Ofc people want to know when there is a good zone up. Especially people that have other responsibilities and can’t play all day.

That’s not what I’d describe as unbalanced, that’s just what I’d describe as different.
Not everything can be great. For top tier stuff to exist, there has to be bottom tier stuff too yeah? Why does everything have to be a 10 out of 10?

I’m not trolling but I’ve noticed that diablo players seem to need everything to be maxed and get really upset at the prospect of having a possible range of experiences, and not being able to just always select the best.

But then if the best is TOO GOOD, they complain about that too. As if choosing to play something a notch or two down just isn’t an option?

Terror zones? Complaints when you have to deal with ones that give less XP, or have less density, or are in a map you don’t like.

Items? Complaints when there are weapons that noone uses because they don’t do as much damage as the top-tier ones, or armor that noone equips because there are better choices.
But then also complaints when some weapons are too overpowered and kill too fast.

Builds? Complaints that some don’t do as much damage as the top tier ones. But then also complaints that some builds do too much damage when equipped with various gear.

Sunder charms? Complaints that it’s now too easy when immunities are removed and build diversity has been destroyed.

I don’t get it? Yes some builds are overpowered but you don’t have to play them? I don’t like mosaic… as a result I just don’t play it. Problem solved?

If you think build diversity has been killed by sunder charms then… don’t equip a sunder charm? We’re not forced to use them. If you don’t like how they remove immunities then just don’t do it?

Why not Leave it on the ground and solve your immunity problem with different builds, as per before they were introduced? Why complain about it but then also equip it and take advantage of what it provides?

It makes no sense to me. If someone who complains about some of this stuff can fill me in on why you complain about it… but then also use it when you could just choose to not use it… that’d be super.

while preset for every day ever might not work for everyone they could though have like 1 shuffle after every 24 hours and have the schedule up for people to see somewhere.

It does not have to be 1:1, but a 1:10 or 1:15 ration is enormous. It’s the difference from about 30 hours from 98 to 99 to 300 hours for the same task. If I play 1 hour per day and use this hour with one of the top 3 zones, I can be 99 in a ladder. If I spend the same time with the crap zones, I’m not even close.

If those crap zones would be at least fun, but who enjoys farming trist, blood moor, sewers etc? There is no density, there isn’t enough to group and it’s overall just not a fun experience. It doesn’t always need to be the best. But for example chaos tz is about 25 mill/hour on lvl 98, Tombs are about 20-22ish and baal is about 15 mill/hour, as a GROUP. Even lower “midtier” zones like far oasis are only 8 mill per hour if you are allowed to solo p8 them in a baalrun for example, worse if you group.

People don’t like extremely unbalanced/unfair stuff. Nothing wrong with that.

The problem is only solved if you just play alone. As soon as you are grouping up and play with others, things like the mosaic sin, that are too powerful and bring performance issues like crash/lag etc, are a problem.

Same goes for sunder charms. My problem with them is that they are a lazy implementation. There would have been plenty of better solutions to address immunity/resistance differences.

Why set yourself at a disadvantage in a multiplayer environment? Your point of view is viable for singleplayer/offline, but makes no sense in an online/multiplayer environment.

I can’t follow your first statement. They already have a rotation, there are people with discord bots out there that are able to predict the next zone. The information is just not available for everyone and I think that’s unfair.

I also think that random terror zones are one of the dumbest ideas for the game, as terror zones are a lot better than any other option in the game after lvl 93ish. I for example like group chaos tz runs, but they are rarely available to me due to the random rotation, so I rarely log on. You see a lot less people online when there are crap terror zones for the hour, but many log in for the good zones and leave right after and play something else. Like I said, stupid idea from blizzard.

This is not part of Diablo 2, and must be removed asap.

Fix your game.

Explain yourself

It’s not really random, there is a TZ tracker out there. Last season I was running with some people who were talking about the TZ tracker and they listed all the TZ’s for the next three hours.

Too bad I didn’t get what site was tracking it…

You know that you can generate random events in advance? It has not to be intime generation for it to be random.

But what you describe is exactly what I was pointing out. There are people that already know the next 1-X zones in advance while the normal player does not get the information from the game or forum. The information is there, that’s why blizzard should give it to their players.

How does it help you to know the next TZ?

It’s easier to plan activities while still reaching my goals in D2R.

For example, my wife does about 1 hour of Yoga + training per day, while I look after our daughter. That’s her time “off”, while I get 1 hour “off” to play games or watch tv. We don’t have a firm schedule for that, since my working ours are dependant on my clients schedule and workload, so we do that on the fly. When I don’t know which TZ comes up, I often miss a/the good zone and play something else. When I know which zone is coming up, we can time it so I can run the zone or just miss any crappy zone.

Since my goal for each ladder is 1 character to 99, missing good zones either forces me to crunch in more hours or give up on my seasonal goal.

So your wife would plan her yoga based on D2R TZ’s lmao

Well the only thing I have to say about that answer is that you have to set prioprities in life. D2 isn’t everything…
Planing your day based on TZ’s sounds hillarious. Just play the game when there is time, if there is a good TZ do that if not do something else or play something else or give your family more time.
You sound like it’s a distater to miss a good TZ and not getting a 99 in a season because of not knowing the next TZ’s.
Can be happy already to have TZ’s which gave the game way to much QoL already imo.

Not sure what’s so funny. She doesn’t care if she gets her time to “relax” an hour earlier or later and so we can both make most of our “free” time.

I have my priorities set and that’s why I care about how I spend my time and why I don’t waste my time on crappy tzs like you. That’s far from planning “my day” around TZ.

Your advice sounds like you lack ambition and don’t have much activities/responsibilities in life. That’s why you know nothing about time boxing your day.
Maybe you should rethink your priorities :slight_smile:

I know it’s hard to grasp that people with ambitions want to reach their set goals and not everybody just wants to slack like you.

TZ’s are crappy lazy implementations like sunder charms, but they are in the game now and we won’t change that.

I have my informations about the upcoming TZs and if you guys don’t want it, I don’t care. Have fun with your casual meph runs

It is the exact opposite, I’m not planning my day based on stuff that happen in a videogame.

So you pretend to know how other people and I spend their time with the game. :+1:

I would love to have problems like that xD

Sure, I believe you.

Just returning the favor :slight_smile:

Sounds like you aren’t good at managing your life :slight_smile:

Or you can just… play and enjoy the game. Not everything must be optimized. Otherwise you turn the game into a (yet another) chore.

So you enjoy farming blood moor? or trist? or sewers?

I can just not log in and do something else that I enjoy more than crappy zones, since blizzard failed to make all TZ’s group content that is fun like for example Tombs or CS.
