I Still really support this.
This could be exactly what the game needs to make New players Intrigued(in terms of Density and More drops in line with more modern games).
Cows would be a Bonus in the sense it would add More game time to thee average game.
preventing any issues with to many join/creations. which was a problem previously(if I recall). I feel this could really be a win win. they would just need the MF and EXP fixd for this to be beneficial for the community to take advantage of it⌠ALL IN FAVOR SHOW SUPPOURT

To be Honest I Feel the Game Needs this, They donât need to tweak the whole game when they can tweak Just -2-3 areaâs and do it within reason and not break thee economy upon release. The baal waves are bugged if they fixed that with some of the drops there and cows Iâd be happy as could be.

This thread deserves a bump all the way until release. Cows were ICONIC to the prime D2 days. The cow channels were FILLED from Cows01 to Cows30. Baal runs are BORING and it doesnât make sense for 8 players to just huddle around Baalâs minions over and over.
Cow level was made for 8 player games. Letâs DO THIS!

I feel that Cow King should be way stronger though. He should always have extra fast/extra strong and 75% resistance to everything as a baseline in addition to w/e mods roll on him.
He should look like an actual bull with a crown, and use the paladin skill charge so he can 1shot people.

Lets do it Bro Iâm down to Bump this thread daily to get it some acknowledgement. I Was one of them old school players that was there before cows got nerfed I remember what it was like when cows used to be included in every run pretty much.
Maybe Not 1` shoot for the sake of Hard core players Pulling there hair out But definitely down with like a 50% crushing blow. I def feel like if the ramp up the MF and Exp again they should increase the HP/attack damage to make it more of a task to full clear. not just the cow king but the full Bonvie level should get an uptick.

Great so it already serves a purpose. It doesnt need to be the best area to farm.
Please, before I say too much more, quote ANYWHERE in this thread that you feel, out of context, that I or anyone has said " best area in the game"
Ill waitâŚ
All we have said and this thread is requesting, is to make the Cow area as great as it once was, again⌠Not make it the best area in the game.

As great as it once was would make it the best. You dont need to state that as your goal if the changes you request would make it the case.
False, there were always other areas better than cows to farm and get exp, Cows had its advantages back in the manual, not mass bot days, therefore it was the go to, Chaos was a close number 2 and a higher lvl to hit, but was tougher and took longer.

You just said it. cows was #1 with chaos as #2âŚ
Doesnt mean it was the âbestâ area in the game, as you seem to want to argue.
Brother, 1.09 was my favorite patch too.
But donât for a second, pretend like it was âany more difficultâ then the current patch, in any way shape or form. What exactly was hard about about any of the current metas at the time (ice orb, multi shot, whirlwind), ESPECIALLY, X 100000, if you were any of the people running around with White hack gear.
A level 10 couldnât get killed by a 99 sorc lmao (white ring gg)

I had a barb with max hexing small charm of VITA, 2 ao_newbie ith swords and all the other fun stuff.
I literally couldnât die in PVM. I could AFK on baal wave 5 and not die after 10 mins.
Arguing there is no single âbest zoneâ is childish and is akin to arguing that jellybeans are the superior gelatin candy (this is just a basic fact though).
If youre going by risk vs reward, the obvious answer is tc88 capable zones, but even then your cow answer is laughable
If they donât buff cows, and give the cow king a visual upgrade, Iâm not buying this game. It doesnât have to be better than Baal runs but it should be an alternative option for people to choose.

1st of all Blizzard is already looking to ramp up MF to shorten seasons and cows are FAR from the best area in the game they arenât in thee avrg exp run for grinding.
thatâs simply not true it was Nerfd into the Ground AND like you said the only real drops you find from cows are bases. OS bases
cows could be ramped up w.o being overly good. NEW PLAYERS Deserve to experience cow farming on a avrg run.
NO one is advocating for it to be Better then Chaos or Baal weâre Simply suggesting they some relief from the EXP and MF nerf into the ground, making this a Viable area to farm so itâs included with Cows,Choas,Baal

yeah that sounds like the best plan. It gives some what of a purpose to having 8 player lobbies. This remaster should be bringing Diablo 2 to its fullest potential. I donât like the idea of a 1.14 remaster. It wasnât the highlight of D2, so why should we settle for that. If I was a new player to D2R and people were doing 8 player Cows, Chaos, and Baal chain-runs, I would find that pretty epic.

YESSSSS, Exactly My point.
New players would Love thee experience of Running cows if it was actually worth something, itâs been so devalued from patches over the years itâs literally not worth the time in an 8 man run anymore. Ppl mostly do it for nostalgic feels if at all. (and again Cows doesnât need to be made OP with Drops and EXP it just needs to be competitive with Chaos and Baal.)
Lets not forget that with the more modern games out nowadays The cow Level is the Perfect place for the kind of Density New age players Crave.
