FFA is CORE to D2

[Rieven-2285]

check d2jsp I cba to go and hunt it down for you. Why do you always want me to find your dinner bugles lol

[Stavros-1569]

Ploot won’t ever happen in d2. The issues ploot will cause have been explained a thousand times.

[Bugles-2611]

[Rieven-2285]

@Jani-2764

At least we know why Micro has made his post history hidden.

@Stavros-1569

He is 100% spam. He is now in panick mode

is what I was replying too but I’ve noticed his name pop up a few times in the last week.

@Stavros-1569

We see right through microna and blash on with the other 2 ploot spammers.

They have a reason and need to make D2R fail

etc etc.

@Stavros-1569

The crowd that played this when we were 10 now make 6 figures. I should be the target. I’ll spend money on an honest remake and D4 if this doesn’t fail and anything associated with D2R.

I’m the whale in wow race changing and faction changing every week. Money is insignificant for me and others my age. The true target

By that logic they should be going PoE’s route with D2 and selling you cosmetics and pets and stash tabs and such.

I stand with Rod. If Blizzard were to introduce personal loot, it should be optional and at game creation.

@MicroRNA-1507

I would envision it working something similar to when someone opens a game to the public in D3. Instead of selecting rifts, greater rifts, key warden, or bounties, the game creator sets the loot mode.

@MicroRNA-1507

I have refined that either/or position to favoring separate realms, because it became clear to me that this issue was so contentious, resulting in way too much hostility.

At least we know why Micro has made his post history hidden.

How is my post history hidden when you have quoted 3 posts of mine? No one can hide their posts. If you want to see my entire post history, you can use the forum search function. My profile is hidden. For your convenience, my entire post history can be found at the link below:

My views have not changed. Initially I said either of two options were ok. Later, I said I favored one of those options over the other. That does not mean that I am opposed to the other.

For example, I favor being given $100,000 in cash over getting a free new car. That does not mean I do not want a free new car.

In addition, a separate realm has the added advantage of adding more changes than just the loot system.

Refund now I guess since ploot will never happen.

@Rieven-2285

I might call all my character’s microRNA just for a laugh. See if you guys will make good on your threats to hunt for his ears when the game is released.

We will collect so many ears from them

Blizzard, one more QoL Change please; Bottomless Bag of Ears.

@Stavros-1569

People probably already did.

But, no, you have zero way of knowing that. Ploot might happen. Or it might not. Doesnt particularly matter, as we are discussing Why and How it should happen.

[Stavros-1569]

It won’t he said it won’t. And if the out cry was indication it won’t be mentioned again.

[Shadout-2849]

Blizzard has said similar things countless times, only to turn around. Again and again.
And outcry… there was no outcry, just a few people spamming twitter.

But you are right. Ploot might not happen. Not very relevant for our discussion.

[Stavros-1569]

I wish we could focus on QOL changes that aren’t core to game. But I’m sure will get there.

[Inspireone-2573]

haven’t u noticed that for pro plotters any change is Qol =D

[Jani-2764]

I admit in the last month you havent changed your view. First make it game create option, after that seperate realm, now after Rod tweet again game create option. Nope you dont change your views.

What are you talking about. You even quoted me that I said either/or and that I had a preference for one due to how contentious this issue is.

" Vicarious Visions has other areas of greater importance to focus on than changing a loot system that works right now.

• Chat integration scares me because they really didn’t give us a great example of how they are making that work.
• Re-integrating Guild Features (They were nearly complete and still exist in the game files).
• Combatting botting/scripters would be number one for me. That is MUCH more important than altering the loot system.
• Ladder and its integration. How can they incentivize it now?
• Stackable Gems (Very helpful, if you’ve ever traded 40 chippies for a SoJ you understand!)
• Mercenary Balance (Make the other acts not worthless in most cases) This would make Merc Battles/PvP Duels much more fun and diverse.
• Slight Balancing of skills that are never used (Run back-end reports on classes/hours played/skills used.)"

Please, sit here and tell me that features that benefit EVERYONE are more important than a feature that benefits a specific set of people? Pretty much every feature above is more important to the games playability and success than any changes to the loot allocation.

That would be last on the list for most people if they had to choose what change is more important than others.

Tsk tsk i know its hard to remember on which day what you want but at least try.

Not speaking for whatever MicroRNA want, but it should be BOTH separate realms and a toggle.

Original 1.14: server FFA only
Changed server: FFA and Timed Allocation toggle

I understand what you talking. Only this has nothing to do with micro changing his opnion about what he wants. But ok.

[Shadout-2849]

You have not shown he changed his opinion after post 2.

I have also stated Ploot in both private and public games.

Then someone made a thread about how Ploot only in private games would make them accept it as a change to D2R.
So I have said I would be okay with that as a compromise. If that is what makes the purists come on board, it is good.

Doesn’t mean my opinion changed. I still favor the former solution.

[Orrion-1999]

@Temperfied-1296

Please, sit here and tell me that features that benefit EVERYONE are more important than a feature that benefits a specific set of people?

So originally you didn’t want any changes, now you’re saying there are more important changes to be done first?
