Did you get the D2 Resurrected email and get bummed out?

This just in, game developers work on and release more than one game! News at 11!!

Maybe you’ve been hiding under a rock or something, but Blizzard isn’t just a single team of developers working in a basement somewhere. It’s a company with over 4000 employees, with multiple teams working on multiple projects.

Which means while the WoW team is working on 9.1, the Diablo team (specifically the Blizzard New York team) is working on the D2 Remaster. There’s no ‘priority’ system where the D2 team is getting more stuff while the WoW team languishes or anything like that. Both teams are working hard on their specific projects.

Sad when we are all concern about diablo2 and don’t care at all about diablo 4 since we all know it will be trash just like diablo 3…

Yep. Still have the manazon, manCharsi. Still have the ‘Dollar Store replacement fetishes’ that look like generic demons instead of creepy voodoo doll creatures. Less blood on some things. Removed nudity on certain corpse doodads.

Whew. It needs a looot of work…

Oh absolutely. I lost all hope for D4 years ago.

Manazon looks like a jojo character, it’s uncanny.

Like, she doesn’t look ‘strong’, she looks creepy, I don’t like it. It’s like a sleep paralysis hallucination.

I got bummed out because there’s no WoW cross promotion involved…

As much as I loved D2, I have no interest in paying to replay it unless it gave me something for WoW.

I just can’t understand how they could mess up so many of the female characters. They even managed to mess up the Act II cat ladies. It’s like they only have one artist, and the artist only draws/sculpts men.

Andariel managed to get out fairly unscathed, but only barely.

It’s like those people that run high schools that get really mad when you show a bit of shoulder, but they’re in charge of Diablo 2 now.

Lol shoulder, I’ve heard horror stories from kids that they’d get in a tuss over a bra strap.

I mean yes I agree that, in the past, female characters were often over ‘sexy-fied’, but this is going in the opposite extreme. They aren’t simply ‘plain Janes’ or ‘ugly women’, they don’t look like women at all. Or they made them extremely old looking like the sorc, she looks like a 70 year old Indian grandma.

(Also why does the barb look like a boomer who watches Jerry Springer while drinking a six pack of Bud Light??)

I’ll still play it as long as they don’t totally drop the ball like with reforged, but my god, do you really have to make the characters so fugly for some silly agenda? It’s ridiculous.

Hopefully they will keep single player mode. If they do I’ll keep an eye on it. I’m sure someone will mod out all the censorship/unnecessary changes. (Which makes me think SP will be disallowed, because we can’t have that)

If they’re smart, they’ll allow modding.

As long as it’s literally just a graphical remaster with compatibility fixes, I’ll be picking it up regardless.
D2:LoD is probably the best ARPG ever made.

Doesn’t look like it, it states that it requires an internet connection, which if I’m recalling correctly, wasn’t the case since you had to click the battle.net button to connect to the internet in the og Diablo 2 game.

Yeah you had to click on ‘Battle.net’ to go online, otherwise you could do whatever offline in SP. LOL. Not even surprised they would do this. Figured as much as soon as I saw D4 would be continuing that crap.

They’re not smart. I looked it up and there is no modding in SP. It’s ‘always online’ again.

They probably don’t want d2edit running wild again, tbh
