It’s obvious MicroRNA is only looking for confirmation bias. He doesn’t care about the sampling data. To him, 9,000 respondents say i love lamp, so lamp is love.

People have been asking about changes since the game’s announcement. There was plenty of time for them to make minor additions that casuals have been demanding. They’re obviously waiting to see who the true core audience is and what they want after the initial hype dies down.

You obviously didn’t play the very crashy and very buggy technical alpha. Again they are focused on ship, and QoL changes will come post launch as the product director said in twitter. Makes sense from a software development point of view; ship first, patch in QoL post launch.

And they have.
Like Cow King not ruining Cow level, and ladder exclusives in non-ladder/singleplayer.

Strongly agreed.
This is part of what makes some peoples argument about “splitting the playerbase” so nonsensical.
It simply is not an issue.

Its just the typical entitlement generation. Smile and nod.
When one is offered their own seperate server and is encouraged to lobby blizzard for such and decides to rather rant on the forum about how their ideas should override everyone – you know who you’re dealing with.
Spoiled brats who never learned “no” from the new-age parents are the ones who want to impose their will on those who want a more original experience – not the other way around.
Have your own realm, you cant merge with FFA looters and do your thing – just like SC vs HC did for 20 years successfully.
Yup. But what a lot of casuals here are asking for are tweaks to the core gameplay. Those changes are incredibly minor. Blizzard isn’t going to go risking the formula because the hype-train riders are moving to this forum and demanding it, until they know that’s what the long-term audience wants.
Again you and your side are in the minority. Technically you guys are the entitled crowd; screaming your opinion is the only one that matters, but your opinion represents such a small minority of people.

Indeed.
This is what should happen.
Those who are the loudest tend to believe they are the largest. And this is precisely why Blizzard is waiting.
“Again you and your side are in the minority. Technically you guys are the entitled crowd; screaming your opinion is the only one that matters, but your opinion represents such a small minority of people.”
We carried the game for 20 years while you were playing Easy mode in Diablo 3 for the last 5.
The only ones who are so unbelievably entitled as to believe they can walk into something they didn’t support or make what it is today and demand universal changes to impact everyone because “feelings” are the only spoiled brats here

No you didn’t. That inheritly means you continued to give Blizzard cash since launch, which is impossible considering Diablo 2 and LOD are not subscription based. That’s litterally the most entitled and childish view on reality I’ve read so far on this forum.
The reality is they want to continue to make more money, they are going to have to catter to the rest of us. Stop being so entitled.

Blizzard is making this game specifically because the community has carried the torch for so long, not because of the money they’ve spent on it. If you had paid attention to the announcement, you’d understand that.
Blizzard is making D2R because they want to make more money. They don’t have many games in their catalog, so remastering Diablo 2 only makes sense. I think a lot of people are thinking way to much into this. For Blizzard or any other game company, its all about the money and the brand. Thats it. Nothing to do with the community.

Nah, they are making it because they want to sell a few million copies. Not to “reward” some fans. I wish they were, but obviously not the world we live in.

Yeppers! It sure did. It settled where it did for good reason;
That reason? Blizzard North was dismantled and Blizzard Irvine couldn’t care less for the title.

Only children need to force their will on others because they cant win at a video game.
Childish are those who can’t accept that the vast majority of legacy players don’t want it your way (we’ve seen your way – its why D3 lasted 1/4 of as long as D2 – maybe there’s a reason for that?)
Childish are those who can’t accept a middle-ground of whatever everyone wants to play seperately with no integration (as, again, was successful with SC vs HC for 20 years).
Kiddo – again, this isn’t campus. You’re not going to scream as loud as you want to force changes for a game you are the newbie to.
Lobby for an easy-mode realm. Problem solved as i’ve said so many times.
There aren’t participation trophies in vanilla D2. If you want the participation trophy realm, raging here for core changes to a game that in current state can be launched without any of them, you’re speaking to the wrong crowd

Here we go, another entitled gamer from the Age of Entitlement that thinks every corporation is evil and focused solely on the money.
Of course they serve to make a profit; however, they specifically stated this was a nod to the OG Diablo 2 fans and are serving to make a faithful remaster - not a game that is suddenly bound to morph and twist to the demands of the vocal casuals. If you can’t grasp that, then you must be spending too much time lost in your echo chambers.
These kids are so screwed when they graduate dude.
Just smile and nod.
They’ll be the next ones posting those lists on FB about how they are the 99% 100,000 in debt with no job prospects.
Can you provide a quote and link for this?
I know that the developer have said that they took inspiration from mods which clearly are not the original game. Ironically, he refers to "the mods that hardcore Diablo 2 players are using now.
Direct quote from a news article that is linked at the bottom:
Resurrecting Diablo 2 in 2021 isn’t as simple as a slapping a new set of high-resolution textures over an old game. While Blizzard says it’s making every effort to make sure Resurrected feels like Diablo 2 did, it’s making some updates to bring some elements in line with modern gamers’ expectations – and to do that, it’s taken a long look at the Diablo 2 mod scene.
Diablo 2: Resurrected design lead Rob Gallerani says that in many cases, the mods that hardcore Diablo 2 players are using now have served as signposts for which elements of the RPG game to update and modernise for the Resurrected version. “When we approached quality of life in this game, we definitely wanted to take the route of making the game more accessible, but not easier,” he tells us. “It is a nice kind of litmus test to know, ‘oh, this audience – the hardcore audience – they like these types of things.'”
