With new Runewords coming: Things to Prioritize

you probably haven’t played the game in years, maybe a decade, your opinion means absolutely nothing. like below zero lol. like just read in these forums, don’t post

you don’t know what i’m saying. i’m saying it makes it more accessible. it makes the content easier

it’s a cheap way to hit fcr break points

my noobness is showing yet i know that spirit is a cheap way to hit fcr breakpoints, something that you probably don’t even know of or ever even hit lol

you are gushing noobishness now.

Have you killed hell baal by yourself ever?

So does this mean that you want new runewords, because that sounds more like a remake to me?

Also, since D2R already has 28 and counting changes (not inculding the new ladder changes), is it even a remaster now? I think many call it a remaster but given the sheer volume of changes, I find that D2R is now a remake, irrespective of what Blizzard or anyone else states.

I care more about actions and not words. Since D2R has 28 and counting changes at release and our now planning new ladder runewords, I think it can be rationally described as a remake.

Although I agree with game balancing, to convince others that a nerf is appropriate is tough. I know that in D3 I advocate for balance through both buffs and nerfs. For D2R, that is a much tougher sell. In that regard, I think it is just best to buff the weak.

For incorporating the most rare runes (chams/zod) into runewords, I disagree. Their drop rates are so low that having powerful items behind these drop rates is counterproductive. I would argue that we need more runewords using mid-tier runes that serve as decent intermediates (such as an enigma-lite and infinity-lite) before the end game RNG fest of ber/jah .

as if acting like that’s hard to do loooool

yeah most recently i did it with my bliz sorc with spirit and a bugged merc, another thing you probably don’t know about lol

It is difficult especially if you do a cookie cutter bliz sorc.

FCR breakpoints and bugged merc is “just getting your feet wet”. U have been a good lil player these past few weeks good for you.

Spirit is absolutely OP any veteran player would think that.

In every multiplayer game forum ever…

"Buff this, nerf that."

lmao it was easy with blizz sorc. killed baal in under a minute

static + blizz + bugged merc = 30 second hell baal kill, maybe less

i’ve been playing since 2001 so i think it’s you who needs to be a good little player and research the game more

everything in this game is ez to clear if you know how to play any viable build

You’re still here after continuously embarassing yourself? What did u finally buy the game and stop refunding it?

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

The devs stated they had ideas but wanted to launch before changing anything. Sounds like you are wrong bud.

I’d rather have a good rare system like what was in D2 Classic.

I just want a cube recipe to make ANY item either indestructible or self-repairing.
Tired of throwing away ethereal items because the chance of me ever get a Zod rune are basically zero.

The article that mentioned new runewords has been updated.

I used ‘Google translate’ so I’m not sure if this is a word for word correct translation. The update to that article is after the asterisk/bullet point below. Also, someone else posted the update in another thread before me, so I’m not the first to post this, so don’t give me the credit. If the article was in fact a credible source. Again, I don’t know how well the translate application works, and I didn’t research the credibility of the website and author etcetera. Edit: Removed name(s) mentioned in the article just in-case it’s against forum rules (probably isn’t but I’m not sure).

  • Added around 22:20 on October 22, 2021: Initially stated that “special rune words and powerful monsters will appear”, but there was an error in the interpretation of the remark content. The correct is “Runewords and powerful monsters for ladders are already open to both online and offline.” We will correct it with an apology.

oof. thats underwhelming lol

went from hype to flat rq.

i hope the ladder comes with something new. just any incentive for ppl to wipe their stash and start over on ladder

IMHO I’d play ladder for additional stash tabs. Stacking of gems would be nice as well (for ladder and non-ladder). Stacking of potions could lead to players spamming them so that’s prob a no go. My main concern is how long it may take for the infrastructure changes to be implemented to fully fix the servers. I don’t have a background in tech or engineering so I have no idea. I feel like adding lobbies for console with keyboard support would be nice for a lot of players. We shall see I suppose.

As long as they aren’t ladder only, I don’t care what they do.

Ladder is so dumb. If they are changing anything…should be delete ladder and add more endgame.

If not, leave game alone forever.

Sounds like I was right after all :man_shrugging:
