Sure there will be positive comments, but there will also be complaints.
ARPGs these days tend to hold the players hands with an automatically enabled tutorial or ‘tip’ mode, which can of course be turned off. Unless they implement a type of tutorial mode in D2 for the very first character created, there are bound to be complaints because of people getting stuck advancing due to rookie mistakes like spreading their skill points evenly through all available skills.
As far as evenly distributing skill points, they just need to give them a dose of the ‘jack of all trades and a master of none’ medicine.
yes, but they have respec now, they’ll be fine.
Anyway, the game is designed to allow mistakes and still be able finish normal, which is what most players do. And they still get their D2 experience. Not that many intend to get in NM or hell. I don’t think game difficulty will be an issue.
Yep, I’ve been accused of wanting d2r to stay more or less the same so I can ‘exploit’ it’s systems to the detriment of new players. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
I can and do talk gaming for hours, with family, friends, and strangers.
I grew up in what I consider the ‘golden age’ of gaming, and I love explaining the nuances of all types of my favourite games to new players.
I don’t want certain bugs to change, not so I can exploit them over others, but because I believe they retain the genuine feel of the original.
I’d gladly use a loud speaker to explain to every new player all the advantageous bugs, I’d even be fine if Blizzard links to them directly from b.net. I have gladly spent many hours explaining and discussing d2 with players new and old.
Entirely depends on how long they are able to stall the reemergence of bots.
If they do a good job of preventing botting during season 1, I guarantee you we will see massive amounts of complaints from D3 player base flooding forums about how drop rates are way too low. 100% guarantee you.
Random D2: R player: “The Sorceress has awesome Teleport skill to get around faster. Why not just give it to the other 6 classes as well so we don’t have to wait to make Enigma?”
Then you are one of the very few, because my experience with the online community of D2 was pretty much exactly the same as that of WoW. That being that when I asked questions I was called an idiot and told to go read some guides. You know since YouTube didn’t exist yet. In fact D2 was the very first game to actually sour me on online play due to the community being a bunch of elitist jerks. And that isn’t even taking into account the jerk wads that dropped into my games to grief me.
How about those trade scammers that would put the item you wanted up and then at the last second, switch it out for a piece of junk with the same art skin?
Don’t forget about getting the wretched “Realm Down” after being disconnected for accidentally scrolling through your spells with your mousewheel too fast!
