PDR2.... Is it possible?

General Discussion

Hey community.

I just started PD2 about a year ago and its freaking amazing.

Any chance PD2 will eventually be allowed into the D2R with updated graphics?

That would be amazing and amazing for Blizzard to allow. You still need a legit game to play it. And it keeps the game alive.

Anyways thanks all!

No, because:

  1. There’s no official or legitimate way for multiplayer mods in D2R
  2. Even if were possible SenpaiSomething has said he won’t port PD2 to D2R
  3. PD2 has a lot of hardcode modding which isn’t officially possible for D2R

Yes, it coming in the near future.

So you had personal correspondence with SenpaiSomething and can prove this? Or just “trust me bro”?

define “possible”…

like if your asking if it will ever happen? No, it wont.
would it be legal? No it wont.
could it technically be done, only if blizzard works together with the modder.

also while i would like blizzard to support modding of D2R as much as they do SC2.
unfortunately it wont happen.
i feel like i could fix a ton of issues with d2R with a proper mod team.

but unfortunaly most mods seems to cater WAY too hard to “hardcore” players.

that’s one of the main reason why i stopped playing path of diablo.

the biggest reason i stopped playing path of diablo is also the reason i stopped playing d2R.

one season greendude turned off lobby chat because he didn’t want to moderate it
shortly after that happened everyone went to PD2.

and whats the biggest issue with D2R? its not the in-game balance… that’s fine outside of mosaic which should be removed from ladder like a 1.08 item, although it would be nice is infinity was also removed from ladder.

the biggest issue is… the chat lobby isn’t functional without a chat lobby, its effectively a single player game.

honestly this is a huge issue poe2 has as well… although its less for a chat lobby issue , but a party creation issue.

Correction, it’s not blizz senpai has to speak with but rather that “Bone-something” dude from the lan enabled d2r project…
And yes d2r has lots of the hardcode softcoded… not exactly in .txt excel format, rather in .json files
But it’s workable enaugh…
And Lan version is based on early 2.4 patch so prolly no sunders and no mosaic. The bad thing is D2R hero editor supports this savegame type, so it’s a troll cheatfest or otherwise “meanwhile on open battlenet” by carbot animations :stuck_out_tongue:

I didn’t say anything about talking to Blizz, though I’m sure he would if there were theoretically to be a PD2R. Also TCP/IP isn’t a replacement for proper private servers that PD2 would need for exactly the reason you state, locally stored character saves being open to being hero edited isn’t conducive for a competitive ladder environment. :stuck_out_tongue:

Not to the degree needed for PD2’s changes.
