You insult me more tbh, you called me 12y old at the first place with no clues about the game… Welcome to ignore list, brainless virgin kid
You behave like a 12year old kid. What makes it even worse is that I think that you are already in your 30th or 40th and still behave that way.
Very few people compete in ladder
Most people come back for the fresh economy and start
But ladder won’t do much for playerbase, people have quit for other reasons, the staleness of the game
The game is solved
Same thing for the last 18years
People did it hundreds of times
People played other games and saw better, saw improvements
D2R without drastic change will just end up being a concentrate pool of purists

Why would they want a fresh economy if they didn’t want to compete in trading and gaining riches? To compete does not mean to be on the XP leaderboards only.
Those people wouldn’t have stayed with your changes either. The people that quit because of stability issues will try out ladder. People that like D2 as it is, will come back for Ladder.
People who bought this game and are crying for drastic changes and quit because of not enough changes, haven’t played D2 in the last decade. They played quite different games in form of Mods. If Blizzard had planned to release D2R Modded, they wouldn’t have remastered it with an overlay graphic, but just remade it into a “new improved” version.
They didn’t, they didn’t announce a 180° turn. They remastered the original, added what they thought would be QoL features and they try to continue the original D2 game with their own touch.
None of the people you call purists will miss you. Go play all the better and improved games you are always referring to. Nobody but you yourself know why you keep coming back to cry.

The overly used excuse of " the people will leave argument " is flawed right now on US East /West/Europe/Asia all have 2400x2 for Classic and Expansion have full ladders thats 19,200 people playing just on the ladder (+/- for cross over and multiple chars) plus all the non ladder players for a 20+ year old game without any D2R QoL changes I’d say thats a pretty healthy demograph now throw in all the “new” game competition it makes the OG D2 all the more awe inspiring.

Hi just here to say Odin is sus and that I agree with palabos. Bye big fat Odin noob
Are you talking about Blizz hosting a modded version of D2R on their own servers. If yes, then I would forget about it because they won’t do that along with having D2R.
Could be hosted by blizzard or could just be mod support so they can easily convert their mods and have private D2R modded servers
They have no reason to and no need to, if blizzard needs the functions and/or thinking that certain is cool they could just implement it themselves. There’s simply no reason to host those private one
Blizzard is ok with modding D2 as long as it doesn’t touch the core codes, which unfortunately 90% of the mod that alter the skills and staffs are touching the hard core codings.
Don’t know if there are private servers for them, but there are mods for D2R. Just google mods for D2R and you will see them. I do believe that all of them are SP only though.
My biggest gripe with D2R is the lack of lan and true offline mode. Seeing mods like PoD, PD2 or Plugy for this game would be dope. Likeminded people could band together to make their own “perfect” version of the game, no matter what the devs do, it’s gonna divide opinions. As it is now, you can’t even roll back to a previous version if the devs really screw the game up.
Aside from the shiny new graphics, if Plugy had the controller support and toggle show loot, I would still play the old D2.
Not gonna get rid of the old install files any time soon though.
From what I understand they have changed the way you can modify the game files, so simple assistant mods like pluggy are easy to remake with the new version, but full on mods are way more complexe to convert
What pisses me off is that blizzard purposefully prevented modding to have the full spotlight on their own changes… and they ultimately suck lll
Mods all the way. At least modders stick to their schedules - like PD2 - and keep the game content updated, not to mention filters and balance updates that make sense while here we have paladins and sorcs fiesta for another year to come.
Hmm, I do remember when there was a time before Project D2 that there was only one mod that regularly update and that was Median XL. I ought to know because when I took a look at the mods for the original D2 that was the only one that was the most up to date. The others were months and years behind it.

We saw that with D2R ladder season 1 launching 6 months later
And we are about to witness it again in a couple of weeks with season 2 2.5 launching in December
still content with vanilla d2/d2r.
the only one i´ve been curious about and have forgotten the name of seem to be supressed or something when i google search… was a two-worder i think.
was supposed to be a faithful and straightforward extention.
all i know is never touching pod or median xl…
Categorizing median with pod is pretty drastic lol
One is a complete overhaul of the game and the other is a faithful improvement
Hell unleashed?
I would play Project D2 with this engine.

I would play a modded version because I strongly disagree with some of the decisions they’ve made (e.g. destroying werebear, leaving martial arts skills broken unless you use a specific runeword).

Yeah, as I said multiple time
They have the D2 improvement cheat sheet already written for them by the modding community
Yet they release not only bad changes… but they are slow as hell to do so
I dabbled a bit in modding myself and boy it’s so easy and fast to improve stuff
