I’m constantly checking the terror zones every hour but there are so many unfavorable zones that getting an actual decent one (cs, throne, cow level) might take up to 2 days and then it’s only 1 hour. Later into the league the main incentive for me to play is to farm in terror zones.
Also when it comes to group play every one wants to play in terror zones. it would be nice if we could split into 2 terror zones in one game.

I think Terror Zones already did enough to accelerate the level 1-99 gameplay. Yeah, they beat the insanely repetitive task of running Baal/Chaos over and over and over and over and over and… Oh you get the point. Making Terror Zones more favorable, be it by removal/replacement of zones the general population considers unfavorable, or even doubling the number of zones that occur would do more to further accelerate the gameplay progression.
IMO further acceleration of gameplay progression isn’t needed.
When I dont like the Terror zone I go back to zone level 85. They give good exp and drop also.

Should just TZ whole act or entire game…

Sorry but this doesn’t make sense. You are basically saying we need more hindrance to actually playing the game. Expanding tzs would only extend the length of already very short lived games, likely only by a small measure.

I can understand why it wouldn’t make sense to those who want even faster progression.
Terror Zones should come as a treat… The good ones and the bad ones balance each other out. If Terror Zones are made favorable ALL OF THE TIME, then most will be running Terror Zones ALL OF THE TIME.
Lets not further bury the essence of the original game with more rapid progression. Sometimes those good ole Baal runs and/or Chaos runs are the best option. But with Terror Zones, it’s not ALL OF THE TIME anymore.

don’t feed the troll, he doesn’t even play the game right now.
I get that some people here earned a badge of honor no-lifing 10,000 baal runs in 2002. Some of these people still live in 2002 and can’t see it any other way.
However, the fact that a game primarily about killing monsters and collecting loot has a shortage of monsters is quite frankly absurd. It’s just bad game design and it would be laughable today in any other game.

I don’t doubt that if Diablo 2 were released today as a new game, it would bomb. The primary (and younger) gaming community likes fast paced dopamine/adrenaline fueled gameplay. It makes you wonder why they even bothered to “resurrect” Diablo 2 in the first place…
…Oh yeah, that’s right… A big reason they did it was to get those old retired from Diablo players back into the game to prime the sales of Diablo 4.
That’s rich coming from you. 
I have to agree, my bots aren’t getting near enough gear for this new season. I need to make more money … so yeah, more terrorzones would help my bots a lot, PLEASE!
This doesn’t make sense either. You like having to jump between games every minute? You think that affects bots at all?
Some sort of “game session reset” to eliminate the need for game recreation would be a good addition to the game. I would consider that a Quality of Life addition.
Getting Blizzard to implement it… Yeah, that’s the problem.

I think it would at least be worth considering taking a pass over the current terror zones and combining a few of them to switch things up. Add Forgotten tower to Black Marsh/Hole, Combine Stony Field with Tristram, Palace with Arcane Sanctuary, Canyon with Tombs, etc. Overall TZ additions are a good thing even if the implementation isn’t perfect. Certainly there is room for improvement, increasing monster density could be nice as well. In the end its up to MicroBlizzard how much more QoL and improvements they make for this game which isn’t making as much money as D4.

here is my take
not every zone needs to be as good as tal’s chambers
but the tail end ones really need a buff
according to the data i gathered
these zones are the ones that need a buff
- 2.5x more density for burial g
- 2.25x more density for bloody f
- 2x more density for stony f
- 1.75x more density for trav*, kurast baz, tristram and lut sewers
- 1.5x more density for blood moor, cows*, black marsh, city of the d, cold plains and tower
- 1.25x more density for barracks, flayer j, dark w and glacial t
- 1.2x more density for pits and ancient’s
*ofc i dont think the number of superuniques should also be buffed
*i see no problem in buffing cows, trav is 3x better for rune farm, with this buff it would be “only” 2x better
the data was collected with an end game nova sorc, dividing the average xp of 10 runs in each zone by the average time of the same 10 runs
the suggested buffs above aim to give those zones about 60% the xp efficiency of tal’s chambers, so tal’s still gives almost double the xp these zones would give after the buff
no other zone needs a buff bc it has about 60% of tal’s efficiency or better

There is a issue with TZ, at lv93, baal or cs dont make any sense anymore even if you do solo in a P8 group.
There are games like : my tz ur mf…these games are absolut disguisting, we are not gonna boost other people their levels and stay left behind.
But also is there a problem to do all TZ zones together, except CS , Tombs, Baal and some other S-Tier Areas.
But we also proved with a team that we can do a lot of TZs together and everyone benefits from the XP.
I am highly recommend boycott these games and do not boost other ppl their levels with their selfish games. You will stay left behind which is a issue, in d2lod we had times there was no bots and the community worked more together, its a fact but a lot of these kids dont know it because they played d2 since d2r and never before and defeatly not on the short times where was no bots there (yes kids d2lod had no bots for a specific amount of time and we all pushed our mates in this game and not only you)
I can only say stop with pushing other people if they not push you and step away from these solo-tz p8 games.
Could you specify at which era there was No bots? I cant remember, and i startet in 2001

i couldnt remember it clearly but it was only 1 1/2 month (EU REALM) it was a very short time not significant but we worked more together compare to this sh** and if u play this game same like 2001 or in my case 200x i think it was 2005 then u know that we was in some cases a different community like now. I need to check when it was but i think 1.13…something like that very quick time, no bot games clean server but for 1 month only stuff like that
Yea and the community was different, everyone is selfish right now i have 3,20,20, i have items more worth then some accounts combined and i am not acting like this
And specially we all know its a static xp system we have no choice to work together and get our levels in tz, i am boycott these solo tz p8 crap : my tz and ur mf…i would recommend do the same to boycott them and not support these egoist ppl
Nah, no more buffs.
It’s gotten way too easy as it is …
Besides, we all know what you’re really asking for … more drops for your bots so you can RMT…
Yeah, we get it …
Not all TZ’s were meant to be equal anyway, get over it.

defeatly not buffing more a balance should be there. They made this game to easy in some cases but in some others points more braindead.
