/p8 online and terror zones

[PaChu-2722]

Yes yes i know /p8 online - “but what about the valuable multiplayer experience of melting mah brains in thousands baal runs with others”…

And now? Do we expect terror zone split runs to happen? I highly doubt that, since there is only one active zone at a time. We need /p8 for online - but with terror zones also for ladder, not just non-ladder!

And just for the sake of completeness, i would have prefered no terror zones at all, /p8 only for non-ladder and the terror dev time invested in loot filter and maybe stacked stash, but that ship has sailed so

[Zaman-2521]

Still asking for handouts!?
Players8 cheat code will never come to multiplayer.
Terror zones are great…finally another alternative to split mf where you can actually fight over the loot and no one will be grumpy that you come to the area that they are farming.

[PaChu-2722]

@Zaman-2521

fight over the loot

I mean i might be wrong, but i highly doubt terror zones will frequently be played together, they seem perfect for solo.

They do…but the decreased nodrop chance that you’ll get from p7+ will encourage people to play together in the same terror zone.

@Zaman-2521

encourage people to play together in the same terror zone

Hmm i really don’t think so, not with the exp share area since 1.10 - with 1.09 exp share over whole zone yes, likely. We’ll see.

[mouser-1307]

Wow, they’re giving us a HUGE exp boost to get to level 99, and your takeaway is that we need even more?

Maybe they should just sell Level 99 boosts like they do in WoW.

@PaChu-2722

We need /p8 for online

We don’t.
If you need P8 in your own game you can buy and run additional accounts.

We need them to remove Terror Zones!
There problem solved.

Just another excuse to beg for P8 apparantly.

If you need that, you can group up with others. It will be new leveling meta most likely.

[PaChu-2722]

@Zax-11538

new leveling meta

As i wrote multiple times here which you apparently didn’t read, i highly doubt that.

8 well geared players will propably clear an area in under a minute.
Difficult to coordinate compared to MF split.
No XP share like throne room (tied to distance since 1.10)

I mean does anyone play cows or CS non-solo after 1.09 srsly, except Split MF or solo + leecher following around?

Ofcourse everything speculation, but multiplayer terror zones runs sounds like alot of hassle.

[Hanz-1979]

with the implementation of TZs

my aproach to /x in bnet has changed

before i supported any of the following solutions, implementing /x in bnet or removing player auto setting from bnet

now i support only the removal of player auto setting in bnet

with /x and TZs lvling will be too easy

[Xemas-1157]

Im in favour of x players. I play in HC and its frequently completely dead. Like 0 games in every difficulty. I like to play online and enjoy multiplayer. But thats often not the experience. /X would vastly improve the game quality for me.

[CleanLX-1524]

What really needs to happen is massive buffs to characters/classes that are able to solo farm P3+.
Then we can finally end all these “make the game/monsters harder” threads.
Stop playing OP builds/classes…
Problem solved.

[PaChu-2722]

I play summon druid

[xander-2131]

Be honest and say that you just want P8 drop rate playing solo.

[Anu-11792]

And this is why

King of Hells

@Anu-11792

Like playercount, unactivated monsters still can be modified. Meaning they can be buff up until you activate them

for example: PER % cleared monsters gain +%8 life, 5% xp, +2%dmg, +1% resist(cap 95 to avoid generating immune) and some loot bonus(mf&noloot). ‬ also areas under lvl85 gain +1mlvl each 4% cleared up to 85, then when all areas are at least 85, the +1mlvl applied to all

So based on those Placeholder values, if you have cleared 80% of the game, all hell areas will at least be 85, monsters will have % increased life, 160% increased damage, at least all their resist up to 95

Then you have special tokens that randomly drop throughout the game that when you have the right ingredients unlocks special areas that can be open through cube recipe but only at a certain %game cleared threshold

Ie:

• cube something in harrogath corner at 75% to face Bul Kathos revived by nilatak
• cube something near the tainted glasses of act 4 at 85% to turn it into a portal that leads to Diablo 1 hell architecture map filled with sucubus and doom knights
• cube something in town with at least 95% game cleared to turn all remaining monsters into clones of bosses (boss mod)

And at 99% it could generate a special event.

• Could be a Super Special boss Spawn that drops a special item. For example, Tathamet using the model of Reziarfg http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act5-reziarfg.shtml

or

• All remaining monsters turn into Bosses (Like bossMod)

‪This makes all alvl85 which makes the whole game farmable‬

• It incites people in staying in the same game
• favours party play
• incentivize killing monsters rather than skipping them over more rewarding ones
• less stress on servers caused by spamming new games
• insanely challenging content
• solves the boredom of 99 grind by introducing all monsters in the mix to the time sacrifice of setting up your game

You have a tracker displaying the % of the game that is cleared. This is where the leaderboard gets it’s data. Highest % reached, highest % boss kills, fastest time to reach 100%

perk of that activity: solid time investment reward, pushes people to play all over the areas of a game

And

The Demonic List

@Anu-11792

• every time you kill a super Unique, the whole game gains +1mlvl(unactivated mobs, capped at 85-87), when all areas reach mlvl85, the buff to mobs is dmg/life/xp/noloot/resistances

Ideally super uniques would gain more buff than regular mobs, making each next one harder and harder. There could even be some shenanigan with them being allowed to higher mlvl lvl and TC so down the line they can drop everything to compensate the fact that no-loot bonus doesn’t affect them

This would incite people to hunt them

Finally we would have a reason to kill blood raven

We would have a reason to revisit the den of evil for Corpsefire, the barrack for the smith, maggot for coldworm, etc

All especially all those more unknown

People would learn about all the Super uniques and potentially their story

There are like 60 of them

Killing them all could even trigger a special event. Potentially using legendary super Unique removes from the game or some never seen like Reziarfg http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act5-reziarfg.shtml

People would create games and hunt parties to kill them all, have better farming areas and ultimately trigger the Event

perk of that activity: empowers the lore of Super Unique and the thrill of chasing them, learning their location

Are better endgame mechanics

They apply to the whole game

Incite party play but don’t penalize solo play

Players have an impact on the mechanics

The Demonic List

Why don’t you just go ahead with all your wonderful ideas and create a messy mod, just like zax, which i can just ignore and don’t need to read about?

[Zax-11538]

@PaChu-2722

Yes, area with high level and thats why it will be meta instead of baalruns.

@PaChu-2722

Difficult to coordinate compared to MF split.

There is nothing difficult about it, its simple asit can be. Split runs are much more difficult to cooperate as you have multiple people in several zones where they might have different time of completion of their runs. There ais nothing like that in terror zones. You go there and clear it together.

@PaChu-2722

No XP share like throne room (tied to distance since 1.10)

Distance to share xp is fine and wide enough.

@PaChu-2722

I mean does anyone play cows or CS non-solo after 1.09 srsly, except Split MF or solo + leecher following around?

You kidding me? Of course people run it.

[PaChu-2722]

@Zax-11538

Of course people run it.

Oh yas sry forgot about the milka channel full of people waiting to run full 8 real player cows… wait what year is it?

[Zax-11538]

Cows are run now for loot not fox xp. If there is huge xp boost like from high level monsters, it will be meta and cows are perfect for that because of no immunities.
