    I think they should remove (or add a toggle) for combat numbers in Diablo IV. Who's with me?

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 06:14 PM PDT

    Edit: I didn't know they were toggle-able in Diablo 3, but more than that: I didn't know that I wanted them turned off until going back to Diablo 2. I have most definitely looked in the options menu before and changed lots of things, but never thought to look for an option to turn the pop up numbers off completely.

    I have recently gotten back into Diablo II with all the hype I felt for Resurrected, and something I didn't notice at first, but once I did I was very happy about it, was the lack of numbers all over the screen. I played the s*** out of Diablo II back in the day, and also played a poopton of Diablo III after RoS came out.

    When I started up Diablo II about a week ago, I (eventually) noticed that there were no numbers. This has really contributed to me just paying attention to the game and not worrying so much about how big my numbers are. It really helps with the dark vibe that I sincerely hope returns in Diablo IV (I'm optimistic so far).

    What does everyone here think? Any other toggles that would help someone get a good vibe outta this game?

    Flipping the question; what specific D2R changes would you NOT accept?

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 09:15 AM PDT

    There's been numerous threads about proposed changes and an equal amount of threads about who is a "Real Fan(TM)" and who should just shut up and go play D3.

     

    In my opinion the game needs more than a graphics face lift to make it relevant again. I don't believe that QOL changes and modernizations will ruin the game, I have more faith in D2's core design and I believe its gameplay is way more robust than that. What makes D2 D2 isn't an archaic UI and annoying workarounds. It's the environment, the story, the gameplay and - probably most of all - the itemization.

     

    As I, and everyone else who played from launch in the summer of 2000 can attest to, the game has changed dramatically over the years. Much of what people think of as the core features of D2 weren't really introduced until years afterwards. Over the span of a decade we got tweaks, nerfs, new items, charms and runewords, numerous balance changes, respecs, the Ubers and more. And nowadays, for lack of official support and updates, more people play on custom servers than play on battlenet.

     

    Going by that fact as well as the way the wind seem to blow on this forum it seems like more people prefer a living game with proper developer support and some tweaks occasionally to stir up a stale meta. But at the same time it might be difficult to trust modern Activision Blizzard Inc - they have virtually nothing in common with the old Blizzard North we knew and loved (and trusted) - and they've dropped the ball before - big-time. However, the studio they brought on to make D2R, Vicarious Visions, seem great from what I've seen so far, so I'm feeling optimistic.

     

    So, to the point. What are your big no-no's? And please don't just blurt out "cHanGe n0tHiNg!!1", but try to pick your battles this time. What are your red lines that mustn't be crossed if you are to be at all interested in D2R. What exact things are you most afraid they will fuck up that will make the game not feel like D2 anymore?

     

    For me, it is:

     

    Drop rates. I hope they're kept at the same rates they are right now. Drops were already increased by a lot with 1.13, please never give in to pressure to increase them further and thereby bringing us closer to D3 loot-piñata territory.

     

    Difficulty. There has been a fair bit of power creep between LOD and the last few patches. Charms, rune words, synergies, even more rune words, torch, anni, etc all contributed. But thankfully it hasn't yet gotten to the point that Hell is trivialized, and let's make sure it never does.

     

    And finally; Cheating. Obviously I don't want it to stay 'as-is', but rather 'as intended'. The 'as-is' is quite atrocious and another reason players turn to custom servers. Blizzard is pretty infamous for being way too limp-fisted with botters and hackers. This time I wish they wouldn't surrender but really do try to run a tight ship, for once!

    Andariel quest bug

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 04:29 PM PDT

    If you don't know about Andy quest bug, you can read about it here.

    I hear a lot of people saying that changes like personal loot, stackable runes/gems, charm inventory and others will have a huge effect on the game economy. But what about Andy quest bug, it makes getting certain items MUCH easier. Should they fix it or not?

    What is/are the simplest Diablo clones?

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 09:27 PM PDT

    Topics about Diablo clones seem to get created fairly frequently. But they tend to ask about which ones are the "best" clones, which yield lots of recommendations of legitimately good, well known games. I'd like to shift the question a bit, though.

    So, let's recommend Diablo clones on the basis of them being simple or quirky! They don't necessarily have to be good, in fact even terrible games are welcome. Being unknown is a plus. It doesn't have to be a strict clone either, it can copy a part of the game then build something original on top.

    Best endgame builds for Sorcs PVE?

    Posted: 19 Mar 2021 01:05 AM PDT

    Yo!

    I'm planning on getting back into D2 now with D2R on the rise and was wondering what you'd consider the strongest endgame builds for Sorcs?

    I'm only planning on doing PVE and playing LoD.

    Cheers
