Starcraft 2 announces maintenance mode, Diablo 3 next?

What you said was syntactically coherent but a terrible idea. There will never be perfect balance, and the end of new content will spell doom for a game with no trading or modding.

and yet there is NO WORD of this anywhere. keep your guesses to yourself/

You’re the one that don’t understand anything from the suggestions I made.

Again NONE of my suggestions change ANY META builds.

You don’t have to farm any uniques again, cause I NEVER asked for buffing or nerfing ANY unique or runewords. :man_facepalming:

Here’s the entire list of changes I suggested to D2 LoD (again, cause I guess You DIDN’T even READ them AT ALL):

  • Making Potions, Runes stack,
  • Increase the stack size of keys, identification, portal scrolls in tomes,
  • Removing stamina completely,
  • Increasing Inventory, Horadric Cube and Stash Size,
  • Adding up to 1920x1080 (at least) screen resolution and making it like in the MultiRes mod for 1.12a (if you don’t know what I’m talking about than google it),
  • After adding up to 1920x1080 screen resolution make 1280x720 or 1280x1024 the lowest one available and just increase the size of your stash, horadric cube and inventory to fit it,
  • Replace Arrows and Bolts with Quivers like in D3 and maybe even make 1 or 2 unique ones and 1 or 2 runewords with them,
  • Auto pick up gold,
  • Increase the amount of gold that you can have in your Stash up to even 2,000,000,000 (it was already done by coders in D2 LoD) and at least 100,000,000 in your inventory,
  • Give Mercenaries all item slots like in your inventory,
  • Allow to hire more than Mercenary at once if you have enough gold (already been done by a modder),
  • Allow rings (1), gloves (up to 3 or 4), boots (up to 3 or 4) and belts (max 2) to have sockets too,

WHERE in everything I posted above do you see ANY changes that force you to farm again for any existing Unique items or Runewords?! :man_facepalming:

NONE of the changes have ANY impact AT ALL at your currently equipped items, unless you have rares equipped…

If anyone here has reading comprehension issues than it’s you, not me…

Too late. already there.

In D2 there is no perfect balance, and yet the game settled into a meta with patch 1.10 or arguably 1.11.
For D3 to still not being settled 8 years after release is quite frankly embarrassing.

Dude, your suggestions are irrelevant to what was spoken.
You’re quite frankly so inadequate, that you pay attention only to your own stupid suggestions, but you can’t follow a freaking conversation.

What I said, that D2 was a good game, and it was perfectly fine for it to settle into a meta 5 years after release.
I said, that if D2 was to be treated the way D3 has been treated, with frequent balance changes to skills and items, it wouldn’t have been a fun game and people wouldn’t have played it for as long as they did.
If every other month you had to find a new version of Death Web in D2 (the way it is in D3 where specific non-set items get buffs, that are not retroactive), D2 would have been a crap game.

I am saying, that D3 should also settle into a meta, once Blizzard balances the sets a bit, then yes – the game should go into maintenance mode. It should have happened by now.

To which you respond with “D2 needs so and so changes”, which is irrelevant to the discussion in regards to D3.

I can’t put it any more simply than I did, but you can’t get your eyes from your own dumb suggestions, cause you lack reading comprehension, and you continue with “I never said this, I never said that” when I never said you did.

And it’s ridiculous to think, that you can give suggestions to the devs, if you can’t track a conversation coherently.

Don’t expect any major balance patch notes to D2 LoD ever. All you could get is what I posted in my stupid suggestions, that you obviously skipped and haven’t read, cause you’re so hardheaded on thinking that anyone would like to see changes made to D2 LoD similar to those made in D3 were they put everything upside down many times already…

No one with any few remaining brain cells left would want that neither for D2 LoD, Starcraft or any other Blizz games…

D2 LoD doesn’t need ANY balance patches. My stupid suggestions would be more than enough…

No one needs any changes to either unique or runewords in D2 LoD, simply few QoL additions, which you clearly don’t get at all, cause you’re so obsessed with making EVERYTHING balanced and equal and guess what that will never gonna happen, not in D2 LoD, not in D3 RoS not even when D4 comes out, no matter how much you’d want that…

So don’t tell me how I don’t track the convesation or start with how you’d have to start farming again for items that you already have, cause changes are not retroactive…

D2 LoD DOESN’T NEED Any balance changes to existing items AT ALL only QoL changes, but you won’t get that anyway…

WoW, who’s talking. The guy, who can’t follow the thread.
Your response is yet again inadequate.
I am also curious whether or not you’re liking your own post with an alt account, as no one would like it if they saw the overall context.

How did this OP go from Starcraft 2 announces maintenance mode, Diablo 3 next?
To all of this nonsense about D2 LoD? Bring on D4 already.

The fault is mine. Started with this post:

The basic thesis is, that D3 should have been in maintenance by now, if Blizzard had done their job balancing… yet they still haven’t balanced the sets…

I also said, that the mere fact, that D3 still receives balance changes 8 years after release is yet another thing, that makes it inconsistent with the previous games.

Then, for some reason, posters can’t wrap their heads around what I said, so they respond with nonsense.

Sorry.

It has been stressed that they can’t do that because it leads to you being able to cheese the crap out of mobs by sniping them outside of their aggro range, due to the way the game logic is bound by the screen res. It’s the reason why all the respectable mods with online multiplayer don’t really try to increase the resolution too much (I think the one that does it the most is Median XL, doing 1024x768, and that one is basically a different game).

Oh really? No one would like it you say: :roll_eyes:

Now please go ahead and tell me how I’m liking my own posts with alt accounts… :roll_eyes:

I wonder if you ever made any suggestions to improve D3 RoS at all…

At least I have the guts to admit that I haven’t played Starcraft at all, so I’m not gonna get involved with any conversation nor make any suggestions for this game if I don’t know the game at all…

Yeah, you continue to be inadequate. I never said nobody likes your posts in general.
I said about specific posts in response to me, that are nonsensical.

Just because of the posts you actually deserve a gold medal.
no idea why you invite yourself to trash talk with the thing. leads to nothing.
I read so many good articles from 2019-2020 … seriously …
if dev wanted or could, it would already be in the game. therefore it will not be anything in the future either. especially now.

Does he really?

Because I don’t think it’s an incredible achievement or anything groundbreaking to score some likes by going on a forum and saying “rend should not be nerfed” and getting likes by all the Barbs who agree with him, that rend should not be nerfed… on a forum, where you can’t get dislikes…

Meanwhile, some actual thought and analysis… nobody cares.
The guy can’t follow a freaking conversation from one post to the next, can’t understand how something relates to the overall topic, but deserves a medal… right…

To this day I wish they woulda went with a SC MMO like WoW…I was ALWAYS more of a fan of the Starcraft universe over the Warcraft universe…god that woulda been effin sweet to play a zerg hydra or something … traveling to different planets, etc etc… even an Arpg of that universe woulda been great over another RTS…

RTS started to falter a lot when MOBA’s hit the scene and to be honest I was a HUGE RTS fan back in the day, but converted to MOBA’s during WC3 Dota and then LoL … although we can ALWAYS give thanks to OG Starcraft for birthing esports way back in the day even though it wasn’t widely known back then and the tech to show it off on a massive scale wasn’t developed yet as well.

Buzz off. This is a discussion forum. If you don’t like speculation, just ignore my comment. No need to be triggered and rude.

I like speculations, that is why Rhykker keeps me entertained. The closer we get to something the better the speculations become, love it.

That would be a far greater appealing game that the old world of diablocraft wishes being tossed about. I imagine it to be something like Tabula Rasa and Planetside with the Starcarft lore, world building, and aesthetics, topped off with Blizzards command of how MMOs should feel from a players end.

Unless they are completely abandoning the SC IP, why would the announce it going into maintenance mode? I almost can guarantee an virtual Blizzcon announcement.

I wonder if the D4 Blizzconline speculations will start in January. I will start right now, 4th class will be announced. More world and lore as well as updates on system and features.
