Yea I have read the whole interview/articles with Chris Lena. He talks about potentially doing things in the future but consistently reiterates for now they have decided against it and will do it based on feedback. Ultimately the feedback is going to be the exact same circular argument that goes on on these forums with the fan base split.

You are likely right. The question is whether they listen to one side or hedge their bets to placate both sides. Also, CL stated that “our designers have a list of things they would love to do. So we’ll see how that goes going forward”. To me, it would be naïve to think that D2R will remain unchanged, since there are already discussing balance changes as a possibility as well as a “list of things” that the designers would love to do.

Players have cheesy strategies and classes they’ve come to love over the years. Are you keeping those intact, or will the game receive a balance pass to give the lesser loved classes their time in the sun?

CL: Yeah, we made a decision not to do balance changes right now, for the very reason that we want to make sure we deliver the authentic experience. Who knows what might happen in the future with feedback. I know our designers have a list of things they would love to do. So we’ll see how that goes going forward.

How will Diablo 2: Resurrected be maintained once it releases? Will there be balance patches or updates to keep it fresh?

CL: I think that conversation starts with the technical alpha and goes through to launch. It’s really about what players are looking for and what they want. We love this game – we’re remastering it 20 years later – so we would love to continue giving players what they want.

CA: Yeah, I think our focus is really to listen to the community and see what they say online, and then see where it goes from there.
