Nothing should be ladder exclusive. Ladder should be a able to stand on its own as a competitive experience for people who are interested in that. HC Ladder holds a particular appeal for people.
Some reason I thought everything was delayed a season. So once season 3 kicks in season 1 stuff is on the nonladder side, after seasin 4 starts season 2 stuff is available and so forth but I’m probably misremembering something else.
You would expect that once Ladder ends, specific items such as runewords would go to non ladder, but who knows, as they didn’t do it in Season 1, so I doubt that anything will be coming to nonladder after season 2 ends.
In the PTR text files runes.txt and cubemain.txt the S1 runewords and set upgrade recipes had their “ladder” column changed from “1” to blanks, so it’s very likely they’ll be available in non-ladder when S3 releases.
Why does that mean that anything has to be ladder exclusive? Players who like the ladder will still play the ladder. Players who don’t like the ladder but want the exclusives can just as well take a break from the game for a season, then come back when the ladder exclusives cycle down to non ladder. At the end of the day, ladder exclusives were used to twist arms into playing a ladder season. It’s a video game. Nobody should need their arm twisted to play it.
Because its one of the things which makes us play ladder, it extend length of playing the game. It keep most population in one game mode.
New ladder content make every season unique. And exciting to start since there is something new. Its that excitement who will have it first since we all start from zero.
If you bring new ladderwords to nonladder its boring, everyone will have it day one. And as i said before, they want us to play season. Thats main bait of online mode
What huge community do you mean? I only see NL folks crying that they can’t get a p8 game. Are you saying those people who cry for simulating players on nonladder are just crappy people that can’t find 7 others in this huge community?
Well if these people who cry about / players x are non nonladder, they can have it. I honestly dont care about nl as most people play season and /p x would maybe help to pvp folks on non ladder to get stuff easier.
In all honesty, looking at how Blizzard is progressing starting with Ladder Season 1, I do not believe that anything introduced in Ladders will come to Non-ladder including Sunders. If you want to use Sunders after season ends, you will have to play the next season, and that will go for any ladder exclusive content.
