Diablo II: Resurrected
|
Bunch of people on Blizzard forums talking about PKing "ploot" noobs, if blizzard really caves to them on this issue.
I'm kinda hoping they actually do put ploot in, because the game is gonna be a troll's paradise. There's gonna be a raging firestorm followed by a massive deluge of zoomer salt. How could I ever miss being apart of something that sounds that fun? Last edited by MrSmiley21#1051 on Sep 14, 2021, 7:30:48 AM

Blizzard forums: looks like someone's setting the dumpster on fire
MrSmiley: (drools with anticipation) Eh. With age I've gone from "I don't want to see but I can't look away" to simply not looking. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

Hm, preinstalled a week early. Strangely exciting. Acts 4 and 5 should look impressive going by what we have seen of 1 and 2. 3...well, jungle is jungle. Little stabby shits are little stabby shits. Not looking forward to any of that but it's part of the experience.
https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.
Huh. My mace dude is now an actual cultist of Chayula. That's kinda wild. |

As much as 3.15 flopped for me personally, I want GGG to do better and POE to continue to improve. That said, repetitive leagues, heavy handed nerfs to builds, lack of build diversity, etc. are all bringing the game down on top of their hod awful speghetti net coding that somehow lags way more than games which are seemingly more intensive than GGG (4 brand new leagues a year is a TON of content — small bugs and unoptimized code has been piling up for years and years and now the game just way laggier and CPU/GPU than it has any right to be given the graphics and assets it uses).
All this to say, I’m super excited for D2r, for a lot of reasons. The game engine should be simple and streamlined and highly functional (unlike PoE… hard to enjoy even the best leagues with constant performance issues), not to mention new. The game is 20 years old - even with all the updates and new coding it should still be easy to run. Cross platform progression is a huge seller for me since I have kids and locking myself away in the pc room isn’t always possible, but my switch is can be played on the couch and blizzard actually has made d2r VERY nice to play on switch. Not to mention future ladder characters and the possibility of themed seasons. So, I’m hyped for d2r. It might not kill PoE but I honestly think next leagues player numbers might be bricked by a good 10% to 15% compared to normal (POE players love doing highly repetitive stuff, d2r could hold some players attention for awhile given their obsessive nature). IMO would be a good time for GGG to finally just bite the bullet and do a performance and balance league rather than doing new mechanic. |

In addition it looks like they are interested in some post launch content. Very curious to see what this looks like, but really doesnt appear to be a one-shot deal, which is super exciting.

" they don't and probably won't ever. |

" It is very unlikely to ever happen, because addons to D2R means to make it a competitor to their own new product, D4. I am pretty much sure that was a marketing statement to fuel interest to d2r. " Nope, they already said they won't port Median XL to D2R engine, since there is no support to TCP/IP in D2R. PoE nowadays looks more and more like a fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.

" D4 is still a couple years away. Its does indeed look like ther will be post launch service. It wont be area expansions or characters, but could be runewords, items, charms, etc... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

Its been a while since I played D2, so I thought why the hell not and bought d2r
Playing, I vividly remembered why I did not like LoD compared to vanilla. the game quickly becomes about farming runes and your items are mostly socket bases and runewords, uniques and some +skills exceptions It's kinda like poe pre-crafting vs post-crafting. D2 vanilla almost every rare drop is or can be exciting. LoD takes that away. Otherwise, it's been fun revisiting. I'm actually thinking of trying out PoD even though I havent ever played it before. |
