Diablo 2
hiya, first off id just like to say that uhm i think it is really out of bounds that i have to preorder the game to be able
to create a topic and say my views
but anywho
quickly before i dive in im going to say that i am generally not for " changes " but though id mention some thoughts anyways
#1 quality of life changes i think can be good but changing game play not so much, i think its really cool the shard stash thing
this is a big help and quality change that im for… however im a classic player and im to understand this wont be classic and will
be expansion only?
let me explain something ANY quality of life thing that expansion has classic needs to have i think aswell no questions asked
#1 Shared Stash
#2 weapon switch thingy that they have on expansion, there is NO reason why classic shouldnt have that botton for a weapon switch
so that we can also keep our (battle orders gear b/o sticks) on other hand
these are not game changing things these are things that are already in the game that for some reason some players are getting but not others
#3 Ladder Length
Below will be EXAMPLES
Non-Ladder (at the start there would be no non ladder, non ladder would only be created after the first season ended).
as more and more seasons end and more and more players go to non-ladder, you still need to have a non-ladder leaderboard so for example
if i look up hardcore classic non ladder i see the players from ALL the ladders and the chars ( maybe for hardcore only the survivers?)
but for others i think all chars need to be added on classic theirs not many 99’s so… maybe classic would be less space, and expansion would
need more space meaning the current leader board shows top 1000, a non ladder leader board would need to show more as an archive
so i think that these should not all reset at the same time, their should be like 4 ladders going at once or atleaste 2 ladders 1 classic 1 expansion
Classic - reset every 6ish months or so?
Hardcore Classic - resetting every 6months seems ok but, maybe an idea for hardcore is not resetting until a 99 has been reached?
Expansion - 4months? reset?
Hardcore Expansion - same/4months or VERY SHORT Ladders (resetting everytime a 99 gets hit players just constantally racing to 99?)
leaderboards/ladder shows rank name class level exp (maybe they also need to show " time ") (showing how much time a player has spent getting to his level)
so when you make classic and expansion ladders seperate, what your doing is making fresh starts more often, also everyone likes to do certain things
and most people play multiple things, lots of people play classic and expansion and hardcore, so you could be participating in END GAME CLASSIC
while at the same time participating in a FRESH Expansion ladder, while even slowly leveling a hardcore or Quickly leveling a hardcore on expansion
i had a bunch more but i will leave it for now and leave you off with this last thing
#4 Last But Surely Not Leaste… Hacks,
i was watching a video about some duping on d2r or something and someone from blizz commented and basically said its going to be alright no ones duping
on the good blizz server or something like that well… heres the thing, ive been around during dupes and they were pretty rare rarely even happened
on old D2 servers, people still aint duping on the old servers, i dont want dupers but, duping is not the problem, bots are the problem, i think
what lacks in like EVERY GAME these days is the lack of a like " legit leaderboard " or even legit play at all at that… what i think is uhm
pretty simple i think that if you ban once a month that is not good enough, need to do ban waves every week super simple : ) lol ^^ and uhm
when you do this… i know some botters will still sneak through but it will be ALOT LESS, and thennn they are going to be sticking out like a
sore thumb, and can be MANUALLY/SMART/BANNED, the end i think but when u ban them make sure its not just their cdkeys, make sure they need
a new internet service provider when you are threw with them
