FFA is CORE to D2

[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.

Is this somekind of accomplishment among marshmallow society?

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.

@Jani-2764

@MicroRNA-1507

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

" 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.

21th Mar Micro wants game create option,

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.

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

[Jani-2764]

Understanding simple sentences and dates is not your biggest talent right?

[Shadout-2849]

Probably not my biggest talent, but one of my talents, sure.

And as said, you did not show him changing his opinion twice.

@Orrion-1999

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

Things are slowly improving on the forum.

Heck, even I can agree with a few other changes being more important, like fixing the broken mess console players had.

[Spiriduell-2453]

Ploot destroyd d3.
Ploot would destroy d2r

[Jani-2764]

@Shadout-2849

Probably not my biggest talent, but one of my talents, sure.

And as said, you did not show him changing his opinion twice.

First date he want game creation option.
Second date he talks that he want seperate realm “favoring seperate realm”.
3rd date again game creation.

@Shadout-2849

Probably…

[Orrion-1999]

@Spiriduell-2453

Ploot destroyd d3.

No, the RMAH and terrible core mechanics like 99% of character power on loot destroyed D3. That you believe personal loot to be responsible shows a severe lack of understanding of D3’s mechanics and history.

[Shadout-2849]

@Jani-2764

First date he want game creation option.
Second date he talks that he want seperate realm “favoring seperate realm”.
3rd date again game creation.

Try to read what he was writing, then try again.

@Jani-2764

Probably…

Yeah, I am fairly talented, that competition is steeper than 8 pickit bots

[Jani-2764]

@Shadout-2849

Ah yeah. First post game creation. Second post he already talks that about “and/or to seperate realm.” So between these 2 posts he already changed his opinion but i couldnt find it. And in the second post basically changed his opinions a second time. And in the 3rd postis the 3rd changiing in opinion.

Thx for pointing out that he not 2 times changed his mind but 3 times.

@Shadout-2849

Yeah, I am fairly talented, that competition is steeper than 8 pickit bots

When i think about that already 3 ploot supporter admited bot or pickit usage here on the forums…

[Shadout-2849]

@Jani-2764

Cant verify that without sources, but yeah, I have definitely seen some anti-plooters admit to cheating as well. Sadly many cheaters in D2.

Ban them all!

[Jani-2764]

Ionz22, Drium and JonesSwiggy the names you looking for.
Anti-plooter admited cheating? Who?

[iuki-1668]

@Krayz-12654

When I ran my bots I didn’t use players 8 and still found stuff. let’s be real if you actually played d2 you botted at some point but that had nothing to do with ffa, more versus you could run games while you sleep etc.

@Krayz-12654

I ran like 12 hammerdins at one point

here’s one.

also, one of llama’s surveys had it where 20% of the respondents admitted they botted. bad boys every where.
