Inventory = Freedom

Hmm I am not sure if I would agree that the 70% was my own decission. Since I mostly play singleplayer I can not trade and so I am stuck with the items that I find, which means I will lake in resistances and life and other stuff which I have to compensate with charms. And all this results in the 70% solution lol. But I agree that the more stuff I find a 50% solution would be possible, but only then if I have farmed for all the items I need which can take quite some time in singleplayer.

The thing I donā€™t like so much about having all the charms in the inventory is that I love to collect items, picking them up, using the gold for gambling. I personally feel like having a restricted inventory interferes with the flow of the game which I donā€™t like, I donā€™t wanna port back to town all the time to just sell 1 item.

I recommend you to test project diablo2, I only realised how nice it was to have a charm inventory once I played this mod. Just try it out to get an idea how it feels like, itā€™s worth it.

I also play single player at the moment and I must admit that I go 70% charms because Iā€™m not strong enough to easily own Hell A4/A5.

So, I also go back to town quite often. I also like to sell a few 35k armors for gambling.

Even if I can probably be considered on ā€œpurists sideā€, Iā€™m still opened to / interested in other points of view, making mine still able to evolve.

If I would have to reply to Blizzardā€™s survey now, I would probably set ā€œNeutralā€ to the charms inventory QoL feature, rather than ā€œNegativeā€ (as I already replied).

I donā€™t like the idea to use 3rd party programs and prefer to keep the game as it is, whatever the constraints it suppose.

But youā€™re probably right, I canā€™t objectively realize how a feature is good or bad for game experience while I havenā€™t really tested it. I can only imagine its consequences.

Welcome to the club :slight_smile: . I used to play battlenet a lot before, but I somehow prefer playing singleplayer nowadays.

Yea thatā€™s often the problem when you wanna go hell, for some builds you need every stat you can get to do well in hell, so charms is a very good solution for this.

Thatā€™s always good, this allows you to see things from every aspect and side. I am open for a lot of stuff to be honest if it is well implemented (whereas I am against personal loot), especially when it comes to quality of life changes. I donā€™t need the game to be totaly changed, but having for example ladder runewords available in singleplayer would be a nice thing in my opinion, so people donā€™t have to use mods to change their game files just to make the runewords available. I am also for more space, I personally couldnā€™t have enough space to store items, I am a real item hoarder lol. Those are actually the only 2 changes I would like to have: Ladder runewords in singleplayer, and more stash :slight_smile: without having to use a mod for it.

To be honest, it is not a must have change for me, I can also live without a charm inventory. It is just that it makes the flow of the game and the playstyle for me easier and smoother. Like I said I see it more as a quality of life change, and I like kind of these changes if they are not too crazy :slight_smile:

I just mean for testingwise :slight_smile: , so you can see in action how a charm inventory could work, you donā€™t have to like the mod :slight_smile: , but donā€™t worry I am not going to force you :stuck_out_tongue: mods are not for everyone.

While I appreciate immensely the efforts put into this thread by the author, I am saddenned that this needs to be explained at all.

i recoomend path of diablo (pod for short) over PD2, its much closer to the original game, the creater of PD2 used to play pod and basially just stole pretty much everything from POD. and i have talked to him and he is a stuck up jerk sooā€¦

Yeah Iā€™d probably second PoD over PD2, though both are good depending on what youā€™re after for gameplayā€¦PD2 is pretty grindy from what Iā€™ve heard, if you like thatā€¦PoD is probably more diverse for gearā€¦which is fun if youā€™re not looking for the authentic D2 experience (which Iā€™m not when playing mods)

I havenā€™t gotten into PD2 at all personally, so maybe thereā€™s something Iā€™m missing there, Iā€™m no expert.

Iā€™m reading this topic : Ive been playing Project Diablo 2 for the past week... Here are my thought - #12 by TheDarkJedi-1970
It seems the changes donā€™t achieve unanimity :confused:

I also had a look at PoD, maybe it would be enough to test that ā€œcharms inventoryā€ which Iā€™m against atmā€¦

[ EDIT ]
In fact Iā€™m not sure Iā€™m going to test this mods since I already know Iā€™ll play D2R in a few months, whatever the changes it contains.

Maybe I would better stop to torture my mind with this and just wait for the D2R release :thinking:
