I mean yeah, there are known power builds in this game. It is not perfectly balanced in that sense, but in a game like this, if you want thing to be perfectly balanced, it becomes completely homogenous, boring and classes lose their uniqueness.
That’s the issue with going that direction. That’s why Classic WoW is popular, people are sick of the homogenization that happened with classes in retail.
Core game and META is also not the same thing. These post are sooooo easy to counter xDDDD Damn i never thought the gaming community have become so weak and spoiled. Well yeah where i can read that playing video games is work i shouldnt wonder so hard.
Well nobody force them to come here. Btw most games arent changed around noobs but around the best players.
Wel yeah it can happen but its still the wrong way to please lazy and noobs cus only they can say: Ahh low dorp rate, maah looooooot,aaaahh personal looooot, game tooo hard, ahhh hell to hard. This is just pathetic.
I’m not asking for perfect balance though, I’m just saying we should assume there will be a significant portion of the player base that will complain about these types of things. I honestly think (and I can’t back this up with data) that a large chunk of players won’t be coming from the original D2, they’ll be younger folks who were introduced into the Diablo franchise through PoE and D3, and those are the people who will be requesting the changes we don’t agree with.
And I would say, I doubt a lot of new players will complain about class balance.
They will instead see an overpowered hammerdin, and be like “that’s crazy” and then be inspired to make one for themselves.
@Jani are you just here to troll? I don’t feel like you’re adding anything constructive here, please define what you think the difference between ‘core game’ and ‘meta’ are for D2. I don’t think you’re the all knowing person who can define what’s a D2 players ‘core’ game experience.
FYI changing metas can also impact a core game experience.
Most games are most definitely changed based on the majority’s voice, do you honestly think blizzard cares about who the best pvp/pvm players are ? Maybe they care about twitch streamers that have a huge public influence on a game, but definitely don’t care if that streamer is a ‘noob’ or ‘experienced’.
Just accept, that this is going to be D2 with a shared stash, some calculations fixed and better graphics. The devs love the game as it is and they spent hours and hours in getting as close as possible to the original.
And if you don’t like it, play mods. What’s the problem with that?
Core game mechanic is FFA loot. Core game mechanic is runewords. Core game mechanic is elemental immunites on mobs. META is baal run in term of loot and xp. I’m not trolling. You are just part of the spoiled gaming community and have no clue what you talking.
Darkness without limits.
What do you think why wow what is still very popular has timed gates on raids?
Yeah thats why we had mrllamasc with devs instead of some HUGE streamer. Blizzard know very well if they fu** up D2R then they are in a big pile of poop after the WC3R fiasco.
I drank a coke today from a 500ml plastic bottle. I can’t provide proof to you of this, but it is factually accurate. I do not need to prove anything to you. The evidence is on these forums from old D2 players relating their experiences.
That is a matter of opinion. Do you think that is shared by the the original D2 director/creator?
According to PCGAMESN
“Lena says the door is open for things like balance changes to help keep the game vibrant for a modern community – if, indeed, players indicate that they actually want that to happen.”
So yes, they will potentially be making more changes. If you could actually read and decipher what I’ve been saying I wouldn’t need to repeat myself.
Also how do console players (50%+ of the player base) play the modded versions ?
Its accurate only from your side.
Not i say here that alot players demanded on old forums personal loot. So you need to prove it. At a court if you say XY stole your bike then XY need to prove no he did not? No? Thats not how its works. You need to prove that xy stole your bike. Come back to reality.
He already told he wouldnt implant personal loot to D2R. And btw i care only in what game is currently being remastered. And that is D2. Not D2.5. So yeah QoL change is always welcomed. Core game mechanic changes dont. Oh and btw a mostly solo player shouldnt tell me what is core game mechanic.
You’re claiming false things left and right, yet you feel like you can criticize everyone for saying something you don’t agree with ?
Clearly a troll.
Also your lack of ability to read and understand what other posters say is baffling, not even a good troll.
What is false? Tell me. Or you are being now only emotional?
If you say.
What i havent understand? That you could not tell a single rightful reason why would be GOOD idea to make personal loot?
Sometimes it is best just to use the ignore list. Advice that I will now take for myself. If you click on your avatar in the top right and then the right “person looking” icon labelled preferences, you can add users to the ignore list.
Translation: I’m out of weak arguments.
This guy makes me feel like I’m talking to my 5 year old nephew.
Nah you talking to someone who isnt crying always if a game is to hard for him but just trys to beat the game instead of dumbing down. Sry noob you need to do this harder.
D2 is not a difficult game at all in LOD, what are you talking about ?
Stop stroking your gamer ego, it’s embarrassing.
If its not difficult then dont need to change things right? And EGO is when a 20 years old rly loved game is finaly remastered to have acceptable graphics but some “mostly solo players” demanding change to the core game cus the game is just to hard for them and they are afraid to tell the truth and starting to debate with weak arguments. That is EGO.
Well, they are open to test balance changes. That’s what I read from that, because they (if it happens) are going to start those things with the alphas, not earlier. So if they test it enough and the feedback from the alpha participants is positive, there is nothing to say against it for me.
But I am sure, there won’t be multiple different game modes, charm inventory and all that crazy stuff, people are suggesting in here.
People can play the game however they want, you’re the one judging others for playing it differently.
Nobody is demanding anything, we’re just saying a fork will end up catering to a larger portion of the player base.
