I would pay for quality content.
Pretty sure that if additional content was sold rather than given for free, Blizzard would considerate players feelings. Because otherwise it would result in a loss for the company, and shareholders would shout loudly at the board.
Why they make items that force to use specific rune of skill? Bindings of the Lesser Gods boosts Fire Allies instead of all typesâŚ
My Question would be more, why the phy. Rune ? Why should we consider the Knock-Up/Back , if we are already forced into the Cyclon-Strike âŚ
Blizzard has always had the genuine mostly at heart. I HAVE seen it. However they arenât always right.
But we have 3 Diablo games to look forward to. We are kind of blessed. (Even though i only look forward to D4)
its the best approach.
for me, they should let it carry over to NS but made it exclusive to this next season.
sure it will make acquiring all ethereals a hard and frustrating quest but very sactifactory when done.
So what about the wizard nerf they applied then rolled back earlier? The one where your images no longer proc the 2pc revive/meteor bonus? I bet thatâs what the new icon is for and they forgot to include the nerf in the write up. Guess weâll find out in about a week.
I propose a random Class Weapon Legendary Power and a random Class Passive Power
change to
1-2 random Class Weapon Legendary Power and 1-2 random Class Passive Power
Still no 4th cube slot? Adios until next year I guess lol
What makes you think that they would do that? There is a chance of a seasonal theme being reused, but I guess it is too soon. Only one season has passed since then.
NO bug fixes ? another season incoming with no sound or play with 10 second freezes. Shambles time after time.
I have to chime in here. Long-time Diablo player here. I played D1 as a kid, thatâs how long weâre talking. Iâve been cautiously excited about D2:Resurrected (Blizz has made some big mistakes over the past 10 years), so I was very excited to see a D2 tie-in with this season. The ethereal concept is a great idea.
The implementation is killing me:
So, essentially, if youâre not playing this game like itâs a full-time job, you get nothing but disappointment. Donât hold carrots out like this on sticks so far that the vast majority of your player base will never be able to reach them. Itâs insulting, honestly. It just another in a very long line of terrible decisions Blizzard keeps making.
If you want players to get hyped for D2:R, you need to make the D3 seasonal tie in very accessible to all your players. You want people whoâve moved on from this 8 year old game to come back and play a while and have a chance to enjoy the tie-in and get hyped for D2:R. Why you decided to do the exact opposite of that is beyond me.
-Disappointed.
Exactly.
The reward MUST be gradual to satisfy both casual and pro players.
to the end you will stay alone with the game if you dont make something about this âŚlooks another boring season
Just absurdly improbable for the average player 
Couple this with lack of substantive changes for either the DH or WD? Yeaaah. I donât know, Blizz.
People complain everytime and for everything, right, we got it but there are few problems here with this âthemeâ.
FirstâŚ
Thatâs RNG on top of RNG, why ?
You have to loot your ethereal first, great, gg, now he needs to have the good passive and/or the good legendary power, you donât have it ? Too bad, go drop an other one.
Finally you have the good one, with the good passive and legendary power after, probably (cause who knows if the drop rate is 1/20 or 1/300 right ?) hours/days of farming, whatâs now ? Is it worth the time spend to get it ?
Of course we donât know yet if they are going to be powerfull âenoughâ the be worth farming, depends of what blizzard means by âa powerfull set of affixesâ right buty coming from them if have big doubts they will, weâll see but men, a lot of builds canât even think about giving up there mandatory weapons, will it really be that powerfull to make enough difference ?
Thereâs no point in this theme if the only benefit from using theses ethereals is just âchanging weaponsâ and not âwinning tiers of GR by using themâ, you know.
SecondâŚ
Thatâs about it for a season theme, season who will last around 3 months lets admit, this is so poor men, if you donât run the challenge of dropping all 21 ethereals, what are you going to do else than you will do in standard ?
Nothing.
Atm iâm very very disapointed if the season theme stand as âdrop weapons that you wonât use anyway because itâs equal/weaker than you standard weaponâs buildâ.
Maybe iâm getting it wrong.

On the bright side, there is a season theme! There is none now. If you click on the leaf thereâs no notes. We got universal changes to followers and leaderboards but no theme.
Am I excited? Yes. I love over-the-top magic items. Especially ones that do a lot of stuff. More damage, better stats, utility, sexy art. Pile it on!
Nerfs? I have played AoV and bonespear enough that i dont really care. I wasnât going to play them anyways.
Inna looks kind of cool now. I will check that out.
Imo you should make the ethreals a lot more common, but make them unrepairable.
Even more interesting would be if the D2 items rolled with Diablo 2 skills. Sure it will probably break the game in some way. But thats part of the fun.
Right?
Like, can we stop clapping for people who play the game 10 hours a day, 7 days a week? Do we need tiered reward structures for the most obsessed, âhardcoreâ players of a game?
To be clear, thatâs not what Miss Cheetah is doingâsheâs simply stating a fact, albeit without sufficient context.
I canât speak for anyone else, but I find (for lack of a better term) obsessive gamer culture ridiculous. Iâm not shaming anyone who likes to enjoy a specific hobby, and Iâm not dictating how much they should enjoy it or for how many hours a dayâthatâs none of my business. Rather, Iâm suggesting that building such RNG-on-RNG-dependent reward structures into a game thatâs already heavily dependent on RNG for success in practically every substantive activity is a real turn-off for players who donât play the game obsessively.
After reading the monk forum, how and why do you come up with these changesâŚ
I just hope that:
They make the Ethereal items open for Non Seasonal Characters. This is the single most simple thing to do to at least make the patch more interesting.
The 3 Ethereals per class will unlock the power of the underperforming sets for said class. We have yet to know the power level of the items. True that one additional passive skill is nothing new or significant, but I do hope that the other items bonuses can do the magic for the underperforming builds and put most of them at least on a more equal playing field.
