Is that any vaiable to lunch a new expansion to D2R? There are many good changes to life quality found on the lots of mods of d2 arround that could be implemented. Like bigger stash, loot drop chat information, stack runes and gems, charms dedicated inventory. Its super boring take the loot to the horadric =/ - i love venomancer playstyle, but its a rule to wait the poison to kill monsters b4 go next pack because its over time and you have no information if the adds you killed dropped anything, then it makes a very fun playstyle buid to a very boring mf char.
A new expansion also could bring new contents, like a new class, new endgames. Terrorzones are fun to solo farm, but its not a real challenge. Ive solo farming terrorzones and seen ppl solo farming 8 players bnet rooms. I understant terrorzones have not porpouse to be super hard to do, but i miss something to explore the players skill to have it done. Also ubbers are dominated, and zero challange if you understand a bit how to do it. There are lots of builds are wipping all them under 3 minutes of trial.
I really would like to have something like a new act, with new challenges, or a new endgame system, at last a harder boss and/or dugeon that makes you go into a group. (like a boss or zone of monsters without a players number life scalation and such a very big difficult that makes necessary to do it as a group - a zone not to lvl up but to farm). Baal runs could stand be the best way to grow lvl up as a focus, we have done it last 20 years and still doing lol.
In my oppinion the missing of D2 to be a super fun game is lifequality and a real hard endgame challeng, like a zone and or boss that you have to go into godly and have chance to die if you dont take care, and not talking about massive souls, im talking about something with a mechanic and strategy to do it with group players.
(take items to horadric is super boring) and need to have a mule to each kind of rune is also unbeliviable.
