Good lord. Only blockhead purists will be against these good changes. I’m so glad you’re nowhere near the Dev team.
Mana burn was a bug and was killing mana-heavy builds like ES sorc. Nerfing Vipers? The damage was out of control.
Only blockhead non purists would be for these changes.
See isn’t that an intelligent argument?
And yet 2.4 was met with overwhelming positive reception by fans across this platform, also Reddit, Twitter, Game Review sites, etc.
Keep burying your head in the sand. Changes ARE good. If you don’t agree, go back to LOD.
Oh god the fact that reddit approves already means it was terrible.
Yep, this is easily verified by Blizzard monitoring game sales data, which they 100% did. Do purist-brains really think Blizzard is doing this because they’re being kind or something?
I really think that person has no understanding of the game and its mechanics, that’s why he thinks player x command is some magic pill that turns the game into easy SP game and is a literal cheat (when people already abuse it).
Since I have never sold any diablo item for real money, you ate mistaken and your ad hominen shows the merits if your pisition.

They did such a bang up job with retail WoW patches after all.
They are REALLY good at making changes the player base wants…
(Cough WoW Classic)
Let’s compare an entirely different game LOL.
That guy was bad at fishing so he must also be bad at building houses.
Would you prefer D3? Really did a good job there too…
Let’s face it, Blizzard of new isn’t Blizzard of old.
Has nothing to do with this conversation, whataboutism and false equivalence is pure rubbish, sorry.
So far the changes have been very widely positively accepted and they can see the sales data themselves. If you want to compare, why not compare D2R to W3Reforged and you and your purist brain just didn’t even buy it in the first place?

What sales data? Show me anything about 2.4 increasing sales.
Feels like he is bored and just wants to chit-chat. That is fine, but stop flooding threads that are about gameplay and requested changes.
And I oppose these changes. I’m here to represent the non-vocal vast majority that aren’t on here asking for these changes. Someone has to be the one to do it. Sick of the vocal minority whining their way into dumb changes.
So opposition for the sake of opposition, because of phobia to change. Good to know. See why Blizzard keep listening to us and will continue so?
Also we already know you’re so deep in denial and beyond, but, sorry. You’re the very vast minority here.

Riddle me this… if sooooo many people want players 8 added to bnet… where the hell are they? All I see is the same 5 people whining day in and day out about it.
You know why the forums aren’t flooded by thousands of people asking for it? Because they don’t want it… they are just playing the game.
And it is the same few arguing against.

Even when tbere was a poll with nearly 9,000 respondents, the anti-ploot crowd would disavow the results because it was not what they hoped for.
From my limited interaction with them so far, they are living not just in denial but even beyond. It’s even a bit eerie.
The issue really is not P8. The issue is the game is too EASY on the highest difficulty so these people don’t want you to have access to the hardest most rewarding content in the game which is still easy.
P L A Y E R S 8 suggests a difficulty that requires 8 players to farm the most difficult content. Blizzard should at the very least address the difficulty of each player count because ever since runewords were added, the game became easy mode. They added massive power creep while not adjusting the difficulty.
N O W We are with a game that has zero difficulties outside of finding loot so there is a group of people grasping at straws to hang on to the last difficult thing to do in the game, which is find good loot without cheating (JSP/bots).
Blizzard should add a new game mode that is tuned in difficulty to what P12-15 would be, experience to P8, and loot to what P9 or P10 would be AND make sure the power creep ceiling remains the same as it is now.

I’ve been saying for ages that a new difficulty should be added. That would be needed content. Option B would be to roll back to a better version of D2… IE 1.09
