Is there anyone else that would totally be fine with changes for the whole of d2 but would also be totally fine with absolutely no changes?
If the game changes drastically, that just means I’ll be more addicted, trying to find the next best thing, but if nothing changes, I’ll be happy to do what I know and keep playing until I get bored of the same game for 40 years.
Classic really should get shared stash, and yes I agree I like preserving most of 1.14d with a new d2r mode, though I would still want some bug fixs in 1.14d mode even without the balance changes
They could release tomorrow and I would be a million times happy with what we are getting for my fav game of all time, I cannot wait to play it and have that, brand new feel, full fresh start, experience.
They have done alot of great adjustments, less is more moving forward now.
I have not played it since about 2002-2003. Well, technically, I played for 15-30 minutes last year on my now-dead PC.
So, realistically, it doesn’t matter. I remember some things. I have no idea about other stuff. Either way, if it is fun to explore, then it is a victory… if it turns to a slog of non-fun, then it’ll be deleted as usual.
At the end of the day I’m going to play it. But most of us have seen what they did with D3 and Retail WoW over time and saw that continuous updates just ruin the game. We don’t want that to happen to this faithful recreation. Apply the cool updates and patches to D4.
Its not necessarily the updates, it’s the motivation behind the updates. They sit in big board rooms and say, “we have X players, how can we milk a buck?” and then proceed to screw the game up.
This is what happens when the devs are replaced by NBA and marketing types. They will run the quality and reputation into the ground to save face with the shareholders, then jump ship with an “extensive and impressive CV”.
