Now that Ladder has proven to be a total failure and majority are unhappy

Majority definition by Zah: “5 people.”

You haven’t managed to be the majority in a single thread you’ve posted. And the forums are WHERE people come to complain. Even the majority of the complainers don’t agree with you, let along the tens of thousand playing the game with no complaints.

How can they stop you when you completely lack the ability to express yourself in a logical manner? How will you recognize a logical argument when you are unable to express your ideas in a logical way, and just keep repeating the same thing over and over again!?

Really? Check likes on our topics and people who agree and check purists topics. Facts don’t care about feelings. In fact the purists are at best 10. :heart:

Self-enforced delusions.

Topic is getting derailed, back to ignoring you. Boring. Stay wrong by the way, GTA: Remastered sold way more than D2R and suddenly you went silent about it.

Lol hit a few tens of thousands of likes and you might have the beginning of an argument. 20 people is a laughable basis for a “majority” on a game that sold millions of copies.

All you got is 20 disgruntled McDonald employees trying to take on the world.

So why are you here & not PoE forum? Looks like you dislike Blizzard games.

But his post is not about the ladder really, he listed like 15 points and only one is exclusively related to ladder.

I guess you have trouble reading? Is this my negative experience? I dont think so

Few people share there some bnegative feelings , but almost everything was related to quality of servers. Not related to gameplay.

Basically make the game your way or either is a failure. Crying people you are always unhappy, that’s why others don’t worry a bit. This game is already outlasting d3, don’t be delusional, d3 has more ladders than d2 with 12 years less, that should tell you something about the pace and the general interest in those games.

As long as you don’t live in russia, China or other autocracy , add some copious amounts of luck together with the hard work and it’s technically feasible.

Dont bother replying to that guy he is an attempted murderer. Guess thats the standard d2 purist.

Please do expand on this. That’s quite the serious accusation.

Well if he’s talking about me I did do 4 years on a felony assault charge. Ex wife’s ex hubby slugged her out in the parking lot at our apartment. Took a bat to’em. I’d damn well do it again too. I don’t stand for guys hitting women, and I sure as hell ain’t letting one hit my woman.

If that makes them think I’m a bad person, then I’m glad they think so, cause I don’t much value their opinion.

Not my place to judge. At least you are mentally mature enough to own up to your actions.
All I can add is that I can resonate with you.

And you felt the absolute urge to post this in a video game forums online why exactly? Some people do weird things sometimes.

This is a video game forum, where people come to discuss a video game called Diablo II. Not to argue, insult, or talk your personal life that no offense to you but absolutely no one cares for (because again, they are here for a video game).

If you’d take the time to read posts you’d know why.

I did read the posts and what it seems to me (unless HappyFeet knows you in real life) is that you brought this up on this very video game forum prior so that’s why he is bringing it up now.

Anyways, I hope your ex wife is fine. I really hope you guys just see this as a video game discussion and leave it at that, no need to insult and argue with people you disagree with either. I am leaving it at that, cheers. :heart:

TBH I don’t remember when exactly I mentioned this, but it not exactly something I’m not open about. To understand someone’s argument it never hurts to see where someone is coming from.

The truth is man I game online to socialize. If I’m going to do that I’m going to be myself. That includes the things people are going to like and dislike. Over the years I’ve made some long term friends I can count on just being myself. People I’ve gamed with for years, people who I’ve later met, and people who I can count on. Hell the mother of my kids was a gal I met playing Neverwinter Nights/WoW.

I enjoy old games. I like their mechanics and what many call “QoL” I call moving away from the things I enjoy. I very much have the mindset of a gamer from the 90’s-00’s because that is the time period I was most into gaming. There are very few games coming out today that I have interest in. The closest would probably be something like Solasta as it has that old-school tabletop feel to it.

Every time someone wants to change one of the few games I still actually care about it annoys the hell out of me. There are thousands of games out there with modern conveniences. I just don’t understand why people are so set on changing one of the few old gems from a bygone era. Sure you can argue that D2R isn’t LoD, but many of us bought D2R because of promises of it being the same old game with a fresh coat of paint.

This is exactly the kind of stuff that made me disappointed in Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s too much of a change from the existing games. It’s not trying to honor the past, it’s trying to force the present into the past to appeal to a market I’m just never going to be a part of.

If I wanted to play PoE, or D3 I’d play PoE or D3. If I wanted to play Path of Diablo, or Project Diablo 2, I’d be there playing them. Those things already exist. Why copy them?

I’m no more interested in changing the types of games I enjoy than I am changing my wardrobe. It’s going to be black/gray/blue pocket tees and jeans until the day I die, and they’ll bury me in it.

Different mindsets but I can respect that.

At the same time you can’t expect people not to ask for changes and/or get upset at them for doing so. There are lots of people who see potential in D2 that it is not reaching by this remaster and suggest changes that won’t fundamentally change it but make it less of a chore and less abuseable.

Honestly a solution could be making a “preserved” mode and also enabling mods. But even enabling online mods could be more than enough. There’re many solutions that can make everyone happy, not sure why Blizzard is not taking the initiative though (not to mention they did promise mod support).

I’d be fine with something like that. D2R should be open to modding.

I’m all for people being able to play the game they want to play, I’m obviously just strongly against when they want to get rid of the game I enjoy to turn it into the want they want to play.

Also to add to this a lot of people call me a purist. I’m really not. I just have some major points I’m not willing to move on because I think they are too large of a change to the manner in which the game is played.

  1. I’m against nerfing Teleport in any way. (I’m not against nerfing the other stats on Enigma)

  2. I’m against adding /players to Online play. (I’d be more than happy to see importing characters to Singleplayer, and TCP/IP re-added for people that want to do /players 8 with friends.)

  3. I’m against any changes that further reduce the difficulty of the game. (I’d be more than happy to see another difficulty added, more immunities added, or new enemy mechanics that increase difficulty.)

  4. I’m against the argument that all builds need to be equal. (Different builds being better/worse acts as a way to pick your own difficulty.)

Personally I’d love to see the most meta builds bought down a notch, and a few terrible builds buffed a bit, but I don’t think they should all be on par with each other. I really don’t think buffing pally/sorc/zon were correct choices while barely touching obviously much worse options.

This is very reasonable. As someone who supports a QoL overhaul, this is accurate.
