as someone who writes exceedingly long posts myself… trying using paragraphs? or at least the enter key so it doesn’t looks like a block of text.
there are some changes i would like,
i dont see a “downside” to stacking runes and gems in a shared stash, as long as its not in your inventory,
adding a loot filter would just be a insanely massive QOL change.
and a adding space in your inventory by adding space that charms dont work in (aka “charm inventory”) would be another great thing that wouldn’t affect balance but be a massive QOL boost.
but overall i don’t want them touching skills or items, maybe a few tweaks to MA sin, to make skills other than solely dragon talon and dragon flight usable.
and i would hit holy shield with a ton of nerfs across the board in every aspect other than duration, such as FBR breakpoints, defense, increase block rate
MA sin needs work, but overall the balance is fine
most of us only want SOLELY QOL changes, and maybe a few minor balance tweak to underused skills but that’s it…
we don’t want new runewords or a massive new patch as we don’t trust the blizzard after d3 and “don’t you guys have phones”
personally after the change to fix amazon’s face, to get rid of ladder only restriction, and to fix the dclone spawn method. and getting rid of that sexist pervert in charge, I’m not ganna lie…
they ARE starting to earn my trust back… slowly.
i still have serious concerns about the UI i saw in beta, especially in the game creation lobby. But VV has done a pretty damn amazing job so far. and if they keep making good choices i may be more willing to let them address, some larger balance issues. on later patches anyways
but i want d2:R to be the D2 i grew up with… QOL changes are fine… but almost none of us trust blizzard to make balance changes right now… and thats where the vast majority of the fear and hesitation comes from…
