True. Love me some D2.
Wish I could still Blood Golem + Iron Maiden, but I'm sure that has long been fixed. Was so much fun being a god, watching all the cows kill themselves.

lol, no one is enjoying real runewords without the dupe economy. Current D3 is better than unmodded d2.

They are crazy if they don't modify the rune economy in some fashion. Base drop rate of players 8 is probably a start and let it scale from there.
Y'all fucks are nuts thinking D2 "works" as written in terms of any kind of viable online economy/trade. It only ever barely functioned in ladder resets because of rampant 24/7 bots and massive duping, and if they clean that up without any droprate changes people are gonna be real, real upset when they are met with the reality of what it takes to actually farm high runes.

This will be a divisive release no matter what they do. Even a few days after the announcement you already see wildly different expectations from people, and worst of all those expectations oppose each other. So I expect a mediocre fumble at best, a wc3 tier cratering at worst.
I won't be buying it, and I love D2.
Frankly, if the gameplay stays untouched, they just update graphics, I'm not interested. Taking the graphics quality from 2000 to 2015 is not enough of an incentive to me. If want to play D2 exactly as it was, I can play D2 right now. Or play one of the modded versions of D2.
On the other hand, if they make sweeping changes, they could've just made a new game. And I have no faith in their ability to make new games anyway, why would I want to play a D2 that they patched with their shitty new ideas. Or even worse, that they abuse as a disposable testing ground for D4 ideas.

D2R will probably do extremely well, and Blizz will have to do nothing at all after its release other than make fixes to things that might break. With the confirmation that Mods will be supported, in some way, Blizz can just sit back and let the Modders make balance changes. I am curious if the BNet will allow D2R to run online though, offline sure.

Graphics? Without a doubt.
The combat? Maybe.
Every other facet of the game? Absolutely false.

I think theres two options that would make me consider this.
1. it includes new gear, skills, monsters, etc. like, include median xl or some shit.
2. its diablo 2... AND diablo 1. and Diablo 1 is brought up to D2 standard for skills, item, etc. (although spell book system kept)
But frankly even then. d2 is pretty archaic. I'd have a real hard time going back to the skills/gameplay after PoE, last epoch, etc.

Discord is the best thing to ever happen to D2. All the trading will be done there with a reputation system and blacklist.

I watched full interview with mrlamasc panel (a true d2 diehard)

I think ppl over estimate player ran economies too.
I made a nostalgia run+made a Druid and maybe put in 8-12 hours and have an atypical 80+ with spirit / shako good enough to speed run pits efficient as hell.
zero trade/groups and I basically have hoto too.
Sure , luck and all but lot of ppl prolly remember the worst of it.

Yea it goes both ways. PoD and slash have made it so easy to find runes with p8 drops that you can have all your high end runewords done within a week easily, hell last PoD reset I had my enigma within the first 12 hours. Then you just sit there with nothing to do. Thats when people switch to GSF or SSF and you can really stretch your playtime out, each upgrade feels super important. Hopefully if they do anything its more in the middle.

I have played on Reddit's emulated server on and off for years now at /r/slashdiablo. You can 4 box and use map hacks. Drop rate is at players 8. Community is very friendly, usually 300 people at season start and 100 by the end each night.
The only thing you can't do is botting.
So besides the graphics there's no reason to play this since I just leveled 12 characters to 85 about 9 months ago, but with a lot of the tedium removed (always having a Barbarian to use Battle Shout/Orders/Command is nice).

It's always puzzling when a company in the same market acquires another company, acknowledging in the process the other company was better at it than they (can't find the quote), but like clockwork manages to destroy the reputation of the acquired company, by assimilating the company, instead of assimilating to the company they acquired.

This is what diablo fans been asking for many years. A D2 game with quality of life improvements and updated graphics. The devs already stated they plan to stay true the original game even by keeping non game breaking glitches and bugs. This game attract all the Diablo fans and even get some people who are bored and nothing else to play. Plus no other ARPG had better PvP experience since Diablo 2 and that’s a huge for PvPers. Then you have modern B-net and I know it’s not going to 100% get rid of botters, hacks and exploits but at least it won’t be rampant as they were in the original D2. Hopefully... But I’ll be definitely buying it. From what I read and watched so far the game looks very promising plus I’m not trying to dwell on the whole Warcraft reforged fiasco.
