Because at this point, with lack of anything new and it being a 20 year old game, even prettier graphics for D2R isn’t going to keep it alive for much longer. Give it a year, maybe two tops, and the servers will be shut down or severely limited.
It also doesn’t help that the lobby sucks and the bots are practically outnumbering actual players 2 to 1.
Totally agree and it is already an issue with d2R. It’s sadly currently flat beige. Metal reflections make any metal display a non uniform tones. They think that gold or silver are flat colors.
This happens when User interface designers have not worked in photography, 3d rendering or simply observed their surrounding. Too many UI designers come from a web 2.0 background with too much emphasis on marketing
tottally agree but pls write this post in d3forums because is really where there are more post about d4 and this post can be have very likes and i want read letters gold in d4.
don’t expect them to return to D2, the necro was almost the exact D3 necro with a phylactory and a scythe to swing at monster with.
I expect it to become a combination of D3, D Immoral and WoW, but with more grim graphics.
I always felt that “rare” items and “unique” items had their names reversed on the Arreat Summit. These descriptions do not match the actual items in-game: there is nothing unique about having the same “Harlequin Crest Shako” as everyone else… but with the way rolls work, most yellow items are actually… unique .
