if you want players 8 play single player.

yeah, its more efficient to split farm anyway
and you know whats even better?
they said that “nothing is out of table” too
Well this is out of table tho, they were pretty negative towards this idea.
Its difference when they say that they werent really discussing something and then said nothing is out of table vs them saying they dont want players x online.
nothing still means nothing
words of lead dev
Maybe new difficulty where all monsters (bosses, uniques, white mobs alike) will have randomized Immunities, or Dual immunities will make it impossible for solo character to finish. To be more specific how I tought about it: regular Fallen in act 1 can be either Physical, Magic, Fire, Cold, Light or Poison immune. Or 2 of those immunities together. And regular Fallen standing next to him will have different 1-2 immunities.
That for sure will make multiplayer group of players a neccessity.
those P8 LK runs are going to flood the market with runes
then the answer is the nerf LK.
But even if market was flooded with runes, why is that a bad thing? The “Golden Age” of D2 in 1.09, HRs were dirt cheap thanks to duping and botting everywhere. But the game was still incredibly enjoyable with HRs being super cheap.
PoD has had it for years with no negative repercussions. People still trade quite often.
The devs said “not at this time” not to mention they’ve changed their minds and implemented things they said weren’t going to happen how many times now?
What? People that can’t live in the game see actual progress in their lifetime because drop rates were increased with a higher difficulty options?.. What a novel concept.

Yes and Pod has also heavy nerfed op builds. Dont compare one change witout taking all changes into consideration.
Also there is chance your items will be destroyed. Why you didnt mention these things? When it has effect on economy.
Please tell me what they didnt want and implemented in the end.
The answer is no P8 online
Players would be still playing Single player with P8 Online for Solo Play only if thats the way they implement it.
Because those things aren’t relevant to the conversation of /players8. Did I mention that PoD still used old style graphics or more bag space?.. no, because it’s irrelevant to the conversation.
Probably everything that caused you to make this topic"
Sold as a remaster, and quickly becoming anything but
Most games typically have a balance patch every season to address glaring issues. Every post on the forums about adding a real end-game to D2R is met with pushback from people who think nothing else in the game can be changed.
-
“Bots will inflate the market!” That’s a totally different topic that Billzard SHOULD address and should not be the reason real people can’t gave a good game.
-
“LK runs will be to good!” Ok, nerf LK runs so you actually have to kill stuff in the game to get rewarded.
-
“The game is to hard already to make P8 harder” Ok, so play P1 until it becomes easy for you and them move on like the rest of us.
-
“Hammerdins and Blizz Sorc will just be that much stronger” Ok, they are buffing a bunch of other builds and I am sure they will continue to do so. Also, I am fine with them nerfing hammers, blizz, and LF zons to bring them in line with other A Tier builds, it would only make the game better.

No, they absolutly are relevant because pod has another like milion changes to balance and other stuff. You can just take one thing out of cluster of robust ovehaul of D2 and be like: "Ha, see it works there without issue do it will work here too. "
No lol, it doesnt work like that.
Except thats not what they didnt want, you are mixing things. They werent negative towards future changes, they just want to start as pure remaster.
That’s not an answer, that’s your ridiculous opinion of what you want. How you purists can be so close-minded and not see that P8 will actually help the game is beyond me.
I think P8 would def help but I feel my idea to drastically increase the per player difficulty would help encourage more group play and give a more solid end-game. Throwing the current version of P8 (from single player) may continue to just encourage solo play online (not that solo play is not already encouraged by design).
How do the other changes on that game make a difference on implementing /players8 here? How do buffed spells or abilities in that game effect anything in this game. If anything, it will make /players8 here harder than it is there because D2R doesn’t have all the buffed up abilities.
According to you, they said one thing and did another to the point that you created a topic around it. Now you’re here asking me what those changes are?
Lumpus, Zax seems to operate under the notion that there could be 100 possible changes to make to D2R but you are only allowed to choose 1 and any issues that arise after that you just got to live with.
