No, you’re just telling Burger King to make two different impossible burgers, and to set up different dining areas, because people can only sit with the ones eating the impossible burger they are eating…
Did you play D2 in the early days? Many players (possibly even the majority) wanted personal loot back then and disliked FFA loot. This is an undeniable fact.
Or you could just continue playing your 20 year old copy that is unchanged.
Here’s the bottom line: the global Diablo 2 community is fractured.
You have median XL you have project Diablo 2 which is basically poe, you have plugy with its fan base and then you have the rabid purists like yourself.
If I were blizzard (and by the way I’m a game Dev for a different studio) I would find a way to make all the “different things” optional so your rabid desired are satiated while the others can also enjoy a modernized experience.
Bliz has 20 years of mods and forks to consider also.
Your way to play isn’t the only way and it’s extremely narcissistic of you to think your point of view should be gospel.
I am not sure how you arrived at that statement. Both burger types/options still exist and are selectable. One option is not being converted into the other.
I can’t believe I actually have to explain this but okay:
You used that example poorly (saying not having a selection of loot type is like demanding a restaurant not serve food you don’t eat). A CORRECT reading of your example to this game, would be like saying you don’t want people playing an Amazon, or clicking on loot chests because you don’t.
What you are advocating for is two separate loot systems that are selectable. The Burger King example is stupid, because you cannot serve both loot types in the same active game map. You either have personal loot in that game, or you do not. SOOOOOOO, based on your silly Burger King example, people who eat one type of burger cannot enjoy that burger with those who choose the other. Just like people in a game with personal loot, cannot possibly be in the same game with people that have free for all loot.
If this doesn’t clear it up for you, it’s a lost cause.
Just stop copy things from Diablo 3 into Diablo 2. This is Diablo, not Diablo 2.5
Shared Stash is OK
Auto Gold Pickit is OK
You have got what you liked, but I don’t want to see the freaking Personal Loot in Diablo 2. You have other games that have Personal Loot, go play that game.
At feeding time, do you have one large common bowl of food or do you have multiple smaller bowls? And why?
It is a simple analogy. I can do many others. It is the KISS principle.
How about this one. Porsche started selling a SUV. If you like Porsche sports car, how does Porsche selling an SUV block your ability to buy a Porsche sports car that they continue to offer?
i play wow classic on release and get highwarlord in 4 month amost in the wave 2 this is very quick imake this solo , here the prove
a lot of retail player come to wow classic asking for change and the player stand for #nochange something i`m 110% agree and have 0 issue with purist because wow classic is base on the original patch
compare diablo 2 is patch on 1.14 a 2016 patch and this patch are maybe make from the diablo 3 dev team so be a diablo 2 purist on a patch make from d3 team in 2016
make you a fake purist , i dont see any issue to balance 1,14 and improve 1.14 because this patch is already so broken and also have already so many change , thank you this is my 2 cent
Look, if people can choose between two options of loot I still think it’s not very good for diablo. PoE is different.
Shared loot is the classic Diablo 2 loot system
it is also competitive and teaches players to share and work together and adds an interesting spin on the game. There really isn’t anything wrong with shared loot. If people are so bad at the game they continually don’t click fast enough maybe diablo isnt a game for them but then again they could always do solo games until they are ready to play multiplayer again. Or play with friends and discuss the loot with them.
It’s all about the realism, the experience, the classic way, the team work, communication.
All of that is why shared loot is the best way for Resurrected
dude i can’t even understand what you’re saying and i really don’t see how continuing and argument about different patches of the original game is at all productive.
They are not asking for the removal of a choice, they are asking for another option.
For example, it is an option in D2R to have auto-gold pickup or not? Auto-gold pickup does change the game and certain elements of the economy. It is selectable.
This is MicroRNA,
If you need to pick, what do you choose? Toyota or a Subaru.
I pick Toyota, It’s like Personal Loot because It’s greater.
You are like the Devil that trying to convert people to say Personal Loot is a good thing.
Maybe It works for few games, but this is DIABLO 2 we are talking about.
A 21 years old masterpiece, why? Because It’s the greatest A-RPG game that was made by Blizzard North. Uniq games have to stay Uniq.
Even though we live in 2021, you do not always have to follow the storm.
