*CONSOLE LOBBIES, TCP/IP & Ultrawide Update posted by PezRadar: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d3/t/diablo-ii-resurrected-console-lobbies-tcpip-uw-updates/44360
Well specifically if something can be viewed from EITHER side as a positive. removing TCP/IP is ONLY negative from anyones point of view, isn’t it? lol
i mean, fixing WSG singlehandedly killed pvp balance for any pvp that takes place on a slightly higher level than random duel games. So i dont see how thats gonna be weighed up by anything else on that list.
because removal of TCP/IP isn’t game breaking nor is it worthy of a “refund” comment. it was stripped for security reasons. its also 2021, whos throwing LAN parties? just play with whoever you want on NL or ladder.
well if that’s your argument then wouldn’t it only be a positive thing then? wouldn’t everyone benefit from better security?
I’ve seen plenty of threads detailing how fixing WSG is actually positive. so clearly the other side thinks its a good change, so it didn’t “kill pvp balance” for everyone.
updated. Besides TCP/IP, i miss anything else?
PS thanks everyone for proving my point. Freaking out over something insignificant and completely ignore 99% of the other awesome improvements. Did removing TCP/IP suck? Sure, for a very very tiny minority of people using it in 2021. But it still doesn’t hold a candle to the vast list of improvements we got.
Not everyone seems against it. And people always play with rules when you PVP in tournaments, so new rules will just need to be formed.
How exactly is PVP destroyed when you can’t use a glitch to get out of stun effects? This seems like one of those weird ones people are choosing their hill to die on.
I fear I won’t have much reason to keep playing however (after the nostalgia wears off in a few months) if they don’t make some additional changes or add additional content. For the same reason I’ve gone back to D2 periodically for the last 20 years rather then *kept playing D2 consistently.
The game has really no end game. The replay ability comes from trying out new builds and perhaps pvp. But guess what… I’ve tried most interesting builds over the years. And seeing as nothings changing balance wise, slapping a new coat of paint on the same playground doesn’t fix a lack end game.
The reason I have in many threads pushed for VV to consider other changes is because myself and likely numerous others are hoping not for a reason to play D2R but rather a reason to keep playing D2R.
I suspect many changes I am hoping for (things like map or corruption are potential examples) are not likely and certainly won’t be near launch. But if no one advocates for this stuff then it definately won’t happen rather than just probably won’t.
It would break my heart to see D2R bring a D2 community back together and then watch it die in darkness in 2 years.
I am not freaking out about anything.
I dont mind the WSG change, i dont mind the TCP/IP drop and i dont mind the font display.
But you said you want to get to the bottom of it, yet you prefer only to look at one side of the arguments. That is not really an objective approach.
Your arguing that the “fuss” is because TCP/IP was removed? i added it to the list for arguments sake, but in 2021 this isn’t the reason people are upset.
I also didn’t post this to be objective, im obviously on the pro-changes side and love everything they’ve done (yes except TCP) . I posted this to point out how 99% are obvious improvements and there shouldn’t be any whining on either side.
if you have a better reason for why people are upset, id love to know. TCP isn’t it.
i mean yea man if you’ve played the crap out of D2 over 20 years and literally tested out every possible build and done the holy grail then of course you won’t want to play it beyond a few months. not everyone is like that Llama guy who can play this stuff on repeat forever. I haven’t played D2 in years and didn’t do everything there is to do back then so i know ill have fun for years to come.
