Really need to just make the eternal realm offline and allow mods come on blizzard I would still be playing if I could get mods. Keep the seasons for ya online only bs
Not going to happen
“So we are not going to support an Offline Mode.” - Angela Del Priore
Given the exploit from Season 1 where eternal characters were able to join into the Seasonal realm… likely never going to happen even if we complain for years about it
Eternal should stay online.
But yes, an offline mode should be added.
Oh you sweet summer child, you must not know lizard well. There was once a mod known as dota that dared to make a lot of money that the lizard craveth. And since then, they made a pledge, not a cent shall be made by third parties off their games henceforth if they didnt get a cut. And so D2R got their ip/lans support cut off under flimsy excuses, Warcraft 3 reforged had to wait for years until it could support custom campaigns and starcraft 2 is stuck with “arcade”. Diablo 3 got nada as well. Starcraft 1 remastered is the only exception to the rule so far but i wouldnt be hopeful.
There are tons of mods for d2r
they learned that lesson with D2 and jewels with +7 or +20 all skills with 30 affexes under it lol
Which is just such an insane misunderstanding from Blizzard that it physically hurts.
Surely they sold more copies of Warcraft 3 due to DOTA. And it helped their brand, and sold more copies of games released after Warcraft 3.
But yeah, Blizzard gonna Blizzard.
Yeah half the reason I played Warcraft 3 so much was because of the mods
They’ll never allow offline+mods again after DOTA. It may be that it drove some Warcraft sales, but all Blizz, and now MS, sees is how much money they “lost” in terms of money DOTA/DOTA 2 is making from Blizzard’s IP … in Blizzard’s mind … Dota 2 isn’t Blizzard’s IP, but the idea is that there would be no Dota 2 were it not for DOTA, and there would be no DOTA if it were not for WC being unprotected, so … yeah.
Blizzard has a degree of paranoia about other people making money from its IP in any way, shape or form that is unparalleled in the gaming industry because of this.
Greed definitely destroyed Blizzard’s attitude toward supporting creators and generally making a platform that encouraged creativity and innovation. I mean look at Curse which got bought out and wow mods got streamlined into being stolen or patched out. We are far past the toy makers working for kids to enjoy their creations era. It is all lead based paint and slave labor toys these days. Just be happy Blizzard Cringle doesn’t ban you for leaving an unsatisfactory comment on a public page.
Now, now surely they will not want to compete with CA for the absolute bottom…
That’s not gonna happen, they will never allow players to fix the game.
