Apparently, the majority are with me though. So it is not a “you-problem”. Like I said, just bored and want to argue for the sake of arguing (and attention). Yet made one logical counter-argument to why it should be in the game. Because AGAIN: P8 is already in the game!!!
Still zero logical counter argument by the way; still majority wants those changes by the way.
Or, you can go play D2 1.0. It exists for people with fixed mindsets and don’t want to adapt “change bad because change” people who make zero counter logical argument.
Anyways, I am done giving you attention. You obviously aren’t here to discuss the game just want some attention. You don’t even read one lines that you quote when clearly Vechain said “it’s not just the drop rates”.
Still zero logical counter argument by the way; still majority wants those changes by the way.
Stay awhile and listen, my smooth brained friend: I am all for change. I find the new changes to PVP refreshing. I want new runewords, I want new items, new areas to farm, balance changes in order to make more builds viable. I want unique items reworked to make them better(looking at you Tyrael’s Might), I want a working lobby and chat system, new endgame activities and events etc. I am ok with even runes/gem stacking.
All I don’t want is the core elements of gameplay to remain untouched. This means: no meddling with drop rates, no personal loot, no players 8 on battlenet.
So shoo away the flies ice skating on your cortex and try to grasp what I am telling you here.
I am only trying to illustrate how hypocritical your bunch is. You just want better drop rates, and you don’t even have the guts to admit it and try to mask it behind other requests.
It’s only about the drop rates. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it. That’s why I call it entitlement, because all you want is to get fast and with minimum effort all the BiS gear that you saw on your favorite streamers’ channel or in a build guide, not understanding that the game is more than enjoyable without that gear, and if you really want that gear you saw in the build guide, you need to grind my friend, you need to be fast and efficient and you need to accept that maybe you are just very very unlucky or you simply don’t understand the game.
You guys don’t want to make the game better for the whole community. You want it to make it better for you. Because you are greedy and entitled. Sadly you don’t have the backbone to at least own it and admit it.
It is Exactly what they want. some of them even said they have alot of Fg on d2jsp, so obv they want it faster to sell for real money as well.
It`s all come down to greed.
I agree with Zahramar, parties is what screw with fair play in ladder, they can get to endgame (what endgame?:p) faster and gear up faster while doing it, if anything screw up the balance is the ability to have 8 man parties in a competitive gamemode and not everyone has 8 friends they can voice coordinate with, it makes a big difference.
Like better arpg games it needs more ladders to categorize players, some prefer to play lonewolf cause of the challenge and self finding, some prefer to group for more social endavours and some do both depending on their mood, but they not belong in the same season/league.
of course people can still gimp themselves and play solo in a party league if they so desire, but there needs to be a ladder dedicated to solo play where you can’t party or trade with others, almost singleplayer except its competitive.
Optimally Solo ladders should be set to player 2, but we all know Blizzard being the traditionalists that they are it will be p1 which is fine with me, p8 would make it pointless to have a self found ladder.
No is not. When does your lies stop. Even one of the people you mention Vechain, uses D2jsp and obv want easier fg to sell. he is pro p8 obv for the easier fg.
I am not against P8, but I feel it would need many modifications to it’s current function to be successful in the online environment. Just to list a few:
Nerfed Super Chests
Reduced Key drop rate slightly on higher /P
/p8 games should be selected at game creation and EXP should capped around P3
I would be much more keen to see a higher difficulty mode that is set to perma P15-ish difficulty, P9-10 drops, and P8 EXP. All mobs could have 1-2 super unique modifiers like fast, teleport, or fire enchanted. The most important part is to not introduce anymore power creep to the game to keep the balance.
My dear lissencephalic friend, I for one, like many D2 veterans, have a stable job, a wife, kids, real-life hobbies etc and never sunk a dime into this game after purchasing it.
As I mentioned before, we are not against change.
It’s about keeping the core of this masterpiece intact. Stop running around the bush. You just want better drops.
I have to agree with that, play singleplayer if you want bigger stash, full merc slots etc it’s all available on nexus as singleplayer mods, but for multiplayer you have to live with the restrictions and yes some of them i don’t agree with at all like Mercs, mercs just die constantly where it comes a reptitive slug to revive them until you have the gear they need to survive, adding 1 ring, 1 amu, boots gloves to them would change that substantially.
But then there’s also room for them to become a bit overpowered unless they restrict what uniques they can use.
I don’t agree with how mercs function, not at classic release and not 20 years later. They did improve them though so you are not restricted to recruit in nightmare anymore to get defiance, holy freeze and other abilities.
As I already mentioned above, I am only trying to illustrate how hypocritical your bunch is. You just want better drop rates, and you don’t even have the guts to admit it and try to mask it behind other requests.
I already mentioned that drop rates DO need to be improved. People play this game to find items and better equip their gear.
If a Zod rune becomes 1 out of 400,000 chance to find, rather than 1 out of million, I’m all for it. It just makes the game much more bearable not only to us but to newcomers which will help with player retention.
You don’t have to play p8 if you don’t want. You can play at p1 and keep enjoying that experience. Others want more efficiency that botters and single players get anyways.
The drop rates historically in D2/D2:lod have changed.
So what drop rate was core?
8 player split farm games already exist on battlenet. Do you want to eliminate this or not? Split farm games get higher drops. Is that a core feature in the game too?
