lets face it, spawning dclone in every single game on the realm was a bad idea.
please fix this, simple make dclone spawn in your private game only with a 1 in 5 chance when you sell an SOJ.

No because that removes the community event aspect of it
Dclone event should be reworked to be based on Unique items sold
This creates a solid crap item sink and makes unique items always nice to find
… it was a great idea… now everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the best fight in d2.
and get thier own anni.
i farmed annis for years, and i used that to gear upo all my characters back in LOD.
using dclone irc.
why are you mad they are more freely available?
what do you lose?
all you care about is “you cant sell them for as much”
there is no problem with everyone getting annis.
its the fight that’s fun

i agree.
but right now its really broken, and need to change asap, and i’m thinking this would be a quick fix.
there is a problem with that. its a OP item, and now everyone gets 2 a day everyday!
Annis were some traders bread and butter. At least this way they aren’t hoarded by the few.
Your idea would bring it back to the hoarders again, even more restricted then before.
At least you could leech the IP.
Anni charm is already great… Do you even play?
Also dont copy my thread title.
yes… i know… I was one of those traders… i was the person who donated sojs to make walks happen, i was the person who killed dclone… i was the person who sold annis for 6-7 hrs… and geared up all my characters.
that was ME.
i don’t have an problem with anni being available to everyone.
i am more than willing to give up ALL that wealth if it allows me to just fight dclone more often.
dclone is the best fight in the game… i never became an anni farmer to make bank… i did it so i could enjoy the best fight much more frequently.
if u want to make an argument to make him not drop anni 100% of the time?
sure that’s fine… but this fight is the best fight in the game. don’t u dare try to make it hard to do again.
i can go around after he spawn and kill him a bunch of times for different people who might need help
this is freaking amazing.

it would really suck for the people that sold sojs to not drop an annie.

I play every weekday for 1-2 hours in the afternoon… bit more on weekends.
DClone has spawned once for me.
In over 20 years playing the game (on and off) I have not once found a SoJ.
I do not like your idea.

could be less then 100% for the people who didn’t sell a soj but got walk.
Perhaps make Annihilus useful as a crafting material - Something along the lines of
3 Annihilus
3 Standard of Heros
3 Jewels
Results in a new essence used in a new recipe, such as
1 Annihilus small charm
1 New Essense
1 Twisted Essence of Suffering
1 Charged Essence of Hatred
1 Burning Essence of Terror
1 Festering Essense of destruction
Result adds 1 additional point of to experience gained to the Annihilus charm used in the recipe.
Total transmutes is capped at 23, for a possible total of 33% to experience gained. This would maintain the value of high-roll to experience gained Annihilus small charms.
For example, if your Annihlius provides 5 to experience gained, the final end result can only be 28 to experience gained.
Crap idea. Sorry that you can’t go on with your monopoly, but life is tough for all of us.
I have 3 solid geared HC heroes 90 lvl this ladder and only 1 anni. Which costed me Ohm+. So…
Not to mention out of the 20 annis I’ve got since the change so far, I think my best one was a 18/18/9. Most of the rest have been average to below average. Good annis will still be hard to come by and have good value. Even poor annis can be sold for something. So what that the 1% can’t gouge people anymore, boohoo.
thats kind of hard to believe.
i play ladder resets for 2-4weeks and if i remember correctly, dclones started poping after 1 week, and there was one every couple of days. i guess you had to be paying attention to the community to know when and where the dclone was going to pop…
that sounds like pretty casual playing… which is what i do aswell, but I probably manage more hours… but only for the first couple weeks of ladder. i figure that if after 2-3weeks of playing if you haven’t done what you set out to do, then to bad so sad better luck next ladder.
everyone should be FINE with the idea that to get ahead you need to be fast on the ladder start, and then be persistent and efficient at farming AND trading or you simply do not have a chance at the high end gear.
Not wanting to start a fight or something but this is not true, mate.
I played Softcore for the first month or so, then switched to HC and started from literally 0, no trading sites gold, nothing. With 2 months farming now I proudly own a fully geared Strafe Amazon 1:1 with the maxroll guide.
You can start later too and still achieve your goals with dilligent farming and trading, that’s what I am trying to say 
They are killing d2 1 thing at a time, first the anni, now the grind to 99, later they will make runes rain and the game will play on it’s own as long as you insert coins every week
I would love for runes to rain. Hell, Median XL made Rune words fun and accessible. Even if you got a Hr every other game, you would still need to find good bases. And there is the stat range for every roll. The only thing anyone ever worries about is their JSP fg potential which is sad. All the Jahs and Bers in the world will not help you if there are no good base items available.
ADD +1 TELEPORT TO ANNIHILUS.
Fixed.
This.
Oh? I didn’t know this, when did they patch it so you didn’t have to kill Diablo when he invades? I must have missed that, I thought for sure someone still had to kill the mob, or have someone kill it for you.
…huh…
Blizzard is going the way of dynamic / scheduled events for D2R. Best get on board with that idea now. They globalized Annis, now they’re adding Terror zones. I don’t seem them slowing down on this idea.
