Let's get one thing straight: D2R was made for purists!

That costs a lot of resources. They ban accounts and botters just make new ones, especially in games like PoE and D2.

Don’t care. You will find out when it’s release. It’s going to be bot heaven like classic.

I play alot of poe and thats not the case, pretty much only bots there are trade bots, and they are not that many and they are mostly a positive for the health of trading especially in HC.

This big list doesn’t seem like a list of compromises. Maybe the widescreen support stopping at 19:9 you could argue was a compromise. Everything else seems pretty deliberate.

i think this is an important point people aren’t getting. The people screaming for massive changes are NOT the people this game was designed and marketed for. The D2R devs confirmed this and Blizz themselves confirms it with every single advertisement and the main slogan for christ sake.

Their sales pitch is, “hey we changed almost nothing! same gameplay!” yet somehow they are only focused on appeasing tons of new players for money? Cmon now. Anyone who thinks D2R was made to be some cash cow and grab a bunch of new players is smoking some serious jazz cabbag. :dash:

Yeah? Well ban their entire bnet account that makes it so they need to pay for an entirely new game to try to bot cheat again and when they do instantly ban em again and you keep doing it until they stop. Also it’s not a lot of resources it’s a company with 100’s of billions of cash to throw around they can afford 30 workers.

You asked why I was against it. I told you because I want all resources on fixing exploits an cheating… which would 100% fix the game which is proven by the other game. I answered your question.

And that’s asking for the moon. It’s not going to happen. Watch.

That stops casuals. It’s the best approach, but Blizz isn’t going to be hands on like PoE. You’re going to have casual botters and professional botters(make money off botting).

yup asking to ban cheaters completely unreasonable…do you live on the same planet as us?

It’s infeasible. I wish we could. I’d rather have private servers and a community that’s hands-on and has its own rules rather than offical.

Only stops casuals? Lol… dude POE is 100x harder then D2 an it’s stopped most the community from ever cheating. Yet your calling everyone casuals cause they don’t cheat.

One streamer got banned for 3 months in PoE for abusing a game glitch during a single day, and you claim they dont punish botting :smiley:

He is make a huge claim that it’s not even something that can ever be prevented yet POE is proof that it can be done.

yeah it has been prevented by many dev teams even by blizzard themselves… the claim is just weird…

This whole back an forth started because I said I don’t want private servers… I just want blizzard to spend all there resources combating cheats and exploits… I mean to me having a d2r that can one day have ladders with no cheats, no duping no exploit is 100% worth it… Don’t know about everyone but I’m 100% for that.

Oh, you already knew it was going to be good when you said this.

It’s funny how all of the things people want to “fix” or add to the game was addressed at the beginning of the year. Wsg, Ebug, grush, etc… Inventory charms, ploot.

There’s nothing anyone can say to this. It’s from his mouth.

what was said about grush? is it gone? please tell me it’s gone.

nothing, but with all the things they’ve done, I’m sure they’ve done something.

But no thanks, I’ve always played the campaign a thousand times, I don’t want to have to level up my character each time.

I’m not for some bug fixes. I’m for ALL the bug fixes. I want it all gone I want the game to get polished to a golden shine.

To this, I can agree.

However I do not think the game was made entirely for purists, that list of changes you posted would seem to agree.

I would have been fine with the game staying 100% as it was, with simply new graphics. However that is not what we are getting. VV is trying to stay true to the original game while adding QoL here and there. That I can approve of. Changing balance is not something I approve of though, and it is something they have done multiple times.

The game is not being made only for purists. Balance has already been changed.
