you clearly spent a good amount of time on this. nice job. 
I feel like blizzard should have made a feedback-specific forum where people can post their well thought out change lists and reasoning. Dozens of them are just mixed into the random threads on here and you know blizz doesn’t/cant read them all. But at least other people like Dbrunksie has made in-depth change lists like this and sent them off during Alpha so just know that blizz definitely has the feedback from the community that wants changes.

i agree 100% with everything, except loot filters are harmless.
i mean u can argue they could be harmful if they are coded incorrectly, as that could hide the wrong items or even crash the game… but as long as each person gets to see drops how they want. and u pick what u want to see… this hurts no one.
like if im playing alone what the issue? if im playing a in a party… if people flat out hate filters THAT MUCH, then ok give them an option to disable filters for thier game on game creation. i’ll be a bit more annoying for me for sure. but no harm done. its not like the items arnt still.
“filters are disabled in this game” checkbox on creation easy no harm done.

Charm inventory yes, Ill agree, a vet will utilize this to so many advantages.
Loot filter, I see it as minor and would be useful. I can live with or without it though.

It’s not harmless. It’s not on my list of “I will refund if they add this”, but it definitely harms the type of player that does not want to have to use a filter.

If they choose not to use it, thats on them though, just like auto gold… are you gonna say the same for that if a noob decides he doesnt want to use it and finds it harmful that he has to pick up the gold manually…
I dont agree, he chose not to use an option that every player has.
Auto gold is divided by party, it is not relevant.

how? this isnt “personal loot”, the drops dont change… for the haters (like yourself) just give them a checkbox that disables all filters for their games… then people who join with a filter can still only see the default game…
You cant force people to use someone else filters as that would be horrific, but we have all played the game without a filter… i wouldn’t like playing with a filter as much but for people who don’t like them there is no downside for this option, and its perfectly acceptable.
if every game u are in you have a loot filter off and everyone else does as well how does this affect you? as long as drops don’t change there is no different.

I never said they would be missing out on gold, I said if they choose not to use it, they are harming themselves ,ergo by your logic with a loot filter, auto gold is harmful to the game because someone can choose not to use it for the advantage?
What will the name of the Mod you’re planning on creating?

I have literally no bias towards any of these changes, but I do recognize good suggestions when I see them and having the ability to enable/disable loot filters per game sounds like an excellent suggestion - though it would probably be something added post-launch as they would need to go through the entire item index to correctly assess what goes where.
Clicking through 2 items is faster than clicking 6. It’s simple math.
I don’t think we should be creating a remaster that drastically changes the interaction between 8 player boss drops.
There are so many memes on YouTube about Diablo2 bossdrops and everyone clicking through the items, only to open their inventory to find a scroll of identify.
The crazy clickfest on boss drops is iconic, you might as well add personal loot if you add filters.

why are u focusing on the only time in the game people are all actually stacked on top of each other… that’s like… 1% of the game, its literally ONLY act bosses, the ENTIRE rest of the game doesn’t have this issue.
Diablo 2: When Friends Unite.
Wait with bated breath friend. It’s coming!
Agreed, but then again I do know a lot of players that almost exclusively run public Baal, so this would be an issue for them.
For myself, I almost always level to 90-93 without a single baalrun, so I’m mostly unaffected, personally.
You can kill Nihlathak and still have Anya portal up, what is needed to close portal is to kill Nihlathak and take the halls of pain WP. But if you want to do Nihlathak farming ideally you would take the WP to make it way faster.

Indeed… This x100… but I must concede to the fact that if Mercs were brought to modern AI standards, they’d be as powerful, if not more than us purely because automation is faster than we can process. You could basically gear your merc up to solo stuff when you sit back and eat a bag of popcorn.
Maybe if they improved pathing only? I’d be down with just pathing being improved and leaving their dummy AI brain alone.
they dont need to be godly. But, making them so they dont randomly run backwards or just stand and do nothing while combat is happening would be really nice.

So you think a charm inventory is harmless but a larger player inventory is game breaking?

Yeah, my bad, didn’t include an exception regarding that in the description. It has been fixed.
