We got The Darkening of Tristram for Diablo 1 20th Anniversary, it would be great if we got another anniversary event for Diablo 2

yes, that would be cool
That would be great, but don’t count on it, considering that the Darkening of Tristram event was a Blizzcon announcement. They could at least add a new helm gem each year to the Darkening of Tristram event, ones that can actuality be used.
I was recently thinking about this and I think they could easily recreate Act IV as a tribute, like how they recreated all of Diablo 1 for that tribute.

Would be awesome to have more events in D3!

It would be really cool to get a special event about D2 story.
Maybe a travel to a dimension with D2’s graphics and missions. An adventure through time and space to discover the destiny and whereabouts of D2’s heroes.
Also, a new legendary gem: a yellow one, representing Baal’s soulstone and/or a blue one, representing Mephisto’s soultstone (as a complement to the red one we get at Darkening of Tristram event, representing Diablo’s soulstone).
We also would get some achievements and/or pennants, portraits, pets or wings.

- This covers most of the maps of the games and how they could be made with D3 maps.
- They could add the D2 cinematics to add to the story.
- Also, an additional idea could be to drop the legendary gems and do something with them like i suggested here:
- Feel free to suggest better maps and the ones missing!
One anniversary event on D2 to run on normal after nightmare and then hell. So it would promote all players.
Definitely if they do a GOOD d2 anniversary 20 year event I would buy Diablo 2 back to play again. (I just played when it was released with cd and serial key. After i moved from older house to new i just thrashed it).

It would be cool to have to defeat Mephisto and Baal in a one-off event inside D3, but as someone suggested, unlikely.
It would be nice to get something in D2 for the D2 anniversary… lol, like a reasonable patch
