I love how people manipulate Rod’s tweet.
They quote tweet when he mentioned it could be in somewhere along the way and by this he started a storm within D2 fans.
What you should quote along this tweet is that LATER he tweeted twice that it’s not happening and it’s just discussion.
If a post is edited there will be a small pencil icon near the timestamp of the post. One can also hover over that pencil icon to see the exact timestamp of that post. I do edit posts oto fix typos and grammatical errors. The idea that someone mass edits a post is easily verifiable and refutable.
Isn’t that always the case.
D2 is a fairly easy game, but some people have build up a story about its perceived difficulty. Making changes, unrelated to the difficulty as they might be, are met with resistance because they risks revealing how the game was not difficult. How stuff like FFA clicking did not make the game more “challenging”.
I wonder if it will be the same story as WoW Classic. Where the game came out, and those people who had told themselves how much harder WoW was originally… well, had a reality check.
The idea that a poll need to cover 100% of the group it is trying to measure
500-1000 would be enough. A few thousand would be nice for crosstabs though.
Indeed. Diablo 2 is literally Free Handouts: The Game.
Your right the game is super easy. So is FFA loot and gearing. Thanks for making my point that ploot is not needed and would only expedite the play time for most to 2 weeks.
The minority of purists ? Interesting, i’m pretty sure we are the majority. Anyway, ploot is not gonna happen , deal with it and stop making random topics which won’t help. Ploot is dead, now make a youtube video and complain about the purists
Ploot has nothing to do with easy or hard, and never has. So FFA being easy does not make Ploot less relevant.
It is just a quality of life change, that people might choose based on preferences. Not easier, not harder, not better, not worse.
Lol, no. Gearing is ~95% of endgame (well, it is a bit unfair to PvP, but it will have to do). FFA is basically nothing. Heck, as people correctly say, solo is a lot more relevant for gearing, and FFA doesn’t exactly matter there.
Thanks. There are other good people out there in the world, but I am aware that I am up there at least.
To me it seems that you are completely off sense of the point of this tweet. It is clearly stated that they discuss. Why would there be a discussion if it is not happening? Just say it won’t happen and this is it, the topic closed. But they discuss, which means there is no final decision on it. And he also said that at least no ploot on launch. So, currenlty, the topic is open, and ploot could be implemented in the next update or in one year, or never, it is not yet known.
So true. I highly doubt its just a loud minority whos against ploot. Im also against ploot and im not posting on reddit or youtube at all, here I made about 3 posts in this forum…
I pre-ordered the game because it was called Remaster with QoL changes. I loved the original game and will love D2R too when I recognize the authentic feel of the game.
Ploot is NO QoL change. It would massively change the feel of the game and the market economy.
