Exactly they was better off extending the season instead of shortening it. They ruin this season by shortening it. Just to release the same season with some changes but no new content LOL. Blizzard is trying to ruin d2r for d4
Season 4 in a nutshell = Fixing problems (hit delay, slightly tweaking skill, 4 extra character slot, and no new content). Great start to move to D4😂😂. They should’ve not call it a season and just call it game fix and patches😂
Season 4 is a joke. No new items or content. It basically season 3 with some changes. Instead of shortening this season they should of extended it and add these changes. It is literally a season 3 replay lmao. what a joke. Blizzard really trying to kill d2r for d4.
For all those complaining about no new content for one season imagine playing d2 since it was created. As a veteran even 1 change per season is a god send after dealing with I believe a decade with no added changes to d2 lod aside from an occasional rust storm I'm happy to enjoy any changes they make big or small.
Desperately need a buff to melee character. Splash damage or significant damage increase. I like that they’re willing to change item skills like BK sword though, many weapons could use a small change like that.
Yeah it was never intended to be as weak as it is, They increased the health of mobs in D2: LoD and increased the damage of spells but did not increase the base damage of weapons. I'm like 99% sure if blizzard north were given more time to work on the game, melee would be in a good spot.
The 2 main things that I like about this patch is the 4 additional Character slots online and the Terrorized Mephisto Treasure Class drops. About the NHD change: if what I've heard is true, monsters will also benefit from it. So, in some cases, the game might be harder.
IMO Most of the unique items deserve at least a small buff as 75% of them are unfortunately Charsi food while melee builds areee struggling with variety. And I heard that runes can`t be stacked due to their unique ID, so why not make shared stash one or two page bigger. And as a third wish - Loot Filter! (It would kill the requests to see more than 32 items on the floor)
Or better still, the eastern sun devs. Imagine dragonstones, a hundred new runes and 300 new runewords, forging and dstoning stuff onto equipment, not to mention about amthousand new uniques and set items
As someone who plays for multiple hours every single day, I'm excited to hear about any kind of changes that are being added.... But alas I am disappointed that there isn't enough new content being added. I think d2r has the potential to be one of the best games of all time if it was just given the proper amount of love and attention. There is hardly anything to do end game wise and I STILL can't help but to keep farming hoping to find more good stuff. Just goes to show the strength of the foundation this game has to build off of if the devs would just realize the gold mine they are sitting on.
it looks like they hear more to people like mrlama, and they don't want their baby to change at all sadly. That's why I am playing PD2 to the point where D4 comes out.
I couldn't agree more. I love this game so much and I feel like Blizzard hasn't done nearly as much as they could have, and the stuff they have changed is either very small or with mosiac, overpowered, with a few good exception like the fire druid which is in a great place now. It's like they don't have people who care enough about this game working there anymore and even easy fixes like making a good lobby wasn't even attempted. Or fixing the Rabies build. Lots of missed opportunities.
Oh, next-hit delay is huge for Fire Druids and Phoenixins. I suppose Wind Druids being able to work in alternating Twisters and Tornadoes is a pretty big upgrade, too. Being able to shift from form to form is pretty nice.
Idk, I'm actually very disappointed by this. I know that D4 is right around the corner, but they could've at least given us SOMETHING to work with here... this feels like nothing to me. Why not at least give the community the QoL they're asking for like stackable runes/gems? That would be so cool... but no.
Did assassin need all these buffs?? What about some proper melee stuff, like 2h splash damage for barb, melee pally, shifter druid? Sometimes I seriously wonder about their priorities, it just feels so damn random what they choose to fix. Bk sword, that has to be the most obscure thing to suddenly decide to fix
NHD update went even further than you think. Each individual MISSILE gets its own NHD. For instance, not only can 5 wake of fires stack now, but each individual missile fired now hits from all traps. Mrllama tested it on stream today. It's pretty nutty. The wording implies 5 wake of fire traps will have 5 separate NHD, but each trap still only deals damage with every other missile. But no, it's even stronger.
He missed the interaction with Chain lightning and Lightning Strike. It doesn't directly have an interaction with NHD, but because of the number of bounces subsequent re-casts will be able to hit the same target more frequently. Spamming CL should have more DPS on a group than regular Lightning now. There is also some speculation that Nova has a new interaction with large size monsters resulting in more damage, testing pending.
@@bobnewkirk7003 Would this apply for Sorc CL as well? Wondering if normal lightning sorc may edge out nova for aoe damage now with the CL change? Been toying with the idea of respeccing my nova sorc to normal lightning if so, would be so nice to be really good with both single and aoe!
@@MM-bq4lu yes it will. Though LS has way more bounces so it will be more noticeable. I was wondering the same, it's very possible CL will beat Nova in small packs of 3-10. Might be ideal for TZs.
If everyone will be playing d4 i guess no one would be offended if they added a loot filter. I also wish they expanded the inventory with a charm only section like in some of the mods. The Itemization in this game is why d2 is one of the best games ever and the devs should let player experience this more. I would definitely pick up and ID more items If I had the space in my inventory to do it.
If you have too little inventory space, remove some charms. If you want the power of the maximum number of charms, you trade away the functionality of inventory space. I don't understand why so many people can't grasp the concept of a trade-off. What you're proposing would make the game more of a one-dimensional cookie cutter. And if we go down that route, why not just double or triple inventory space? That would be so much more practical!
Bender himself stated that wind druid got about a 30% damage boost from NHD being changed. I'm curious if Fire does more damage than Wind now, in all honesty. I'll be testing on ladder start, Gonna enjoy a fire druid.

The patch is live and it has been tested. Next Hit Delay applies to each spell cast individually! It's insane for Ele druids, since each fissure, for example, has it's own NHD.
sad we are in maitenence mode already, but i get it. im hoping we get at least one final "big" patch after D4 launches that fixes/adjusts alot of things within the game, for example, bringing other items up to speed/runeword adjustments, and some QoL changes
I think the updates are good, will definitely be playing ladder Season 4, maybe the only person not particularly interested in D4 because how of how dissimilar it is to D2 (which is fine, just not for me). More characters is good, though 10-12 might have been significantly better. Hope you're wrong about going to maintenance mode but you're probably right.
dude, it's like five years late and they are adding FOUR character slots, overbuffing the assassin some more in the worst possible ways, and REMOVING KNOCKBACK FROM BUL-KATHOS' SACRED CHARGE well, at least you don't think that he's probably wrong
From a Developer standpoint, this "maintenance mode" is okay. There comes a time in the life cycle of all games where development on another title starts and that overlap does not always afford teams and companies time to do major updates to their older or first titles. This game isn't mine, and I can't change what I didn't make so I am content with what we have. I am very glad we were given D2R and happy to enjoy it in the stable and great state it is in for a long time to come. Thanks for the update timely videos as always Dbrunski.
Holy smokes, there better be more rws coming out ! The Necro and Barb still need a lot of love and would do well to have some of their own rws like literally every other class has! (White is meh) Also what about melee improvement and an enigma alt??? These are areas that could easily be addressed with a few more runewords (which seems to be their preferred vehicle of additions) And the set change is kind of odd. So many sets and uniques could use this attention and it is now clear that they are ok with making some changes, so what the heck!?! All in all, though. I am thrilled that I live in a world where one of my favorite games got a quality remaster and update! I do think Vicarious Visions has done a fabulous job, I just a part of the population that still wants more!
Pretty disappointing that there weren't more engaging changes, but they don't wanna compete with themselves with D4 coming out soon so it's understandable There's still so many things that could've happened, stacking runes/gems, runeword adjustments or more set changes...
@@fransingolf5314 why on earth would you say no to a qol feature like that? D2R is desperately in need of qol like a loot filter and stackable currency
ALSO an additional way to get tele on gear. Doesn't have to be as OP as enigma with huge strength and MF. Like vipermagi level stats runeword for like ist gul ist. Something that would be an affordable way to work toward enigma
I was excited to see the removal of NHD and couldn't wait to play my Martial Art Assassin today. But just find out in Player 8 Terror zone, the clear speed is only ever so slightly faster than before. I guess that's because even without the removal of NHD, Mosaic Assassin is already strong enough to clear any content in this game.
Three major things need to be fixed for melee chars; Whirlwind needs to trigger ctc on attack and ctc on striking. Smite needs to carry elemental damage boosts from charms etc like all melee strikes do. Zeal whiffing
When are they gonna make BK ring part of the bk set? That would fix the issue of NO good set rings, and it's a flavor win. Could make bk set actually worth trying depending on the set bonuses
Pretty underwhelming updates, I’m surprised (not that it’s bad) that they would add a change that affects how the game itself plays rather than making the 75% of uniques, particularly exceptional weapons, that are useless more viable.
So I haven’t played D2R for a while now but if would modify set gear and uniques to compete with Runeword armors I would definitely come back. New armor sets and/or unique pieces would intrigue me too. One could only dream though.
The patch notes say next hit day now only applies to missiles cast by the same skill. So why do traps have no hit delay now? Why is nova stronger? I feel like blizzard poorly implemented this change
a character slot is just a record in there sql database server that keeps track of all your items and all your attributes doesnt take that much space....
I would really love to be able to buy more stash tabs & a custom stash tab for Runes & Gems (Like POE's resource tab) so that I don't have to shuffle around for runes in my stash. Just give us a tab with runes from first rune to last rune that stack infinitely/up to a number like 100 or something.
exactly. those interns have no clue what they're doing. instead of fixing the class, they come up with a op broken, mandatory RW for the MA sin.. f*ing joke.
I never play ladder and only play offline because of the lag, so I don't care much about any of this. But yes, any change at this point is good because at least there somebody still working on improving the game
pretty cool changes but I was rly hoping for a new high-end melee RW with similar power as mosaic for the barb/melee pala to become "viable" aoe farming classes.
I would love to find a perfect COA. I’ve been luckier with Griffin’s but I honestly think that both of these endgame items should be upgraded to +2 to all skills. Perhaps add * 15 fcr? on nightwings ❤
@@MadMetalMacho It wouldn’t break the game one way or another. Not the skill points at least. I don’t know about FCR on NW though.. be very nice to have the extra skills, I don’t like to give up to all skills in order to get my best in slot. I would love to see the high lords change to +2 at level 99 I think that would be a good quality of life change.. Mara’s wouldn’t change. I believe in limits ..
@@quietlightning4063 Why do you want one item that's clearly best, removing all choice? In most people's opinion either the item that's best in slot should get nerfed or all the other options that are too weak should get buffed.
OK that’s your point. It’s good argument I suppose it depends on how people construe those items in general. I suppose it’s a majority thought thing, but it makes sense.
Stackable runes and gems, and a transmute backwards recipe for runes would be the best QoL fix they could do. Also should allow trolls nests and elite spiked shields to roll 4os, if for nothing more than to vary it up... Everyone is running around with a kite shield.
No stackable runes! If you're running out of space, drop some stuff. No one is forcing you to keep it. And especially no to backwards recipes. It would really hurt the trading economy.
@@fransingolf5314 it would hurt the jsp clowns, not the economy. I'm 1000% for that. Get your pay to win BS out of here. Same with your stash... Der I have an unlimited stash with any items I want in it due to having bought a lot of external currency that doesn't drop anywhere in the game. I have zero respect for pay to win players. I firmly believe some devs are heavily invested as well. There's no other reason for a game that focuses on trading so much to not have any effective way to trade in the game itself. I have literally played free mmos with effective trade houses, there's no reason blizzard can't do it.
Your content is so good and I've been subbed for years. That being said can you do more content on PD2, that game is far superior to D2R and has so much more content to cover. Keep up the great vids!
Awesome video DBrunski!! Awesome cover man!! Love your content!❤❤ I gotta vent here tho... that I dislike how Blizzard leave Diablo 2 project aside just to try make people go play Diablo 4... They done the exact same thing in 2007 with World of Warcraft... Stupid people are the ones to run Blizzard, there's a lot of ways to monetize Diablo 2 with small changes. One example is selling expansions with more content, and keep the classic version of the game for the purists to enjoy, the ones that don't want changes.. Or if they were to sell rune stashtabs, gems etc for 10 dollars I am pretty sure thousands of people would buy it to have their Stashes organized. Or they can just leave that income to Tencent via PoE. Even Diablo 2 having less players than Diablo 4, it could still be really profitable if it was in the hands of smart people.
I wouldnt say way more people playing d4 than d2. They expected that same result from d3 an even said that. Hard to beat d2 an thus far i havent seen a better diablo than d2.
I'm amped to try the fire druid without that gnarly next hit delay between fissure and volcano. I will probably make a fire druid offline and maybe ol trusty fury druid on ladder. I didn't get a chance to try the new druid runeword yet 🧐
Waiting for D4 at this point. Really wish they would open up D2R to modding communities like PD2 and MedianXL. Not every D2 player will move to D4 and it's a great way to keep the Diablo community alive. Also Blizzard would make a boat load of money if they made the second Diablo 2 expansion that had planned guild towns and such. Every hardcore Diablo player would pay hand over first for new Diablo content and Blizzard loves money so it was a win-win that never happened.
Still no Loot Filter, still no stackable Runes|Gems, still no D2R for me this new ladder. Back to PD2 Season 7. Sad to see that its already going into maintenance mode and with that going to die out slowly. Im actually more hyped for Last Epoch 1.0 than for Diablo 4.
Don't worry about the haters DB...they are just mind blocked and don't how to process opinions or information they don't understand 💯...lov your input always! Much lov✌️
I havent played d2r in 4 months now, im just burnt out and not excited for any of these changes on top of it. They really need to upgrade uniques and such like that. Many people find grail items but why does it matter when runewords over power everything lol
As for me, I’m focusing on Diablo IV and just finished building my 4090 rig and got my beta Rogue’s mugshot on the iCUE AIO! Let’s go!!! Yayaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!
Sorry DB, we love you, but please don't talk down D2R by mentioning a possible maintenance mode, making it sound as if this game is done and isn't worth playing, that's just not fair. That's talking people down. The D2R team is still vibrant and doing excellent work in making the game fresh every season. This season even more character builds became viable (more than you mentioned) and that's great because it shifts up the meta. We are confident that a lot of new features and content will keep coming to D2R for upcoming seasons and we are really excited for that. I get it that the D4 hype has got you, but that is absolutely not the case for a lot of D2R loving players. For them it is even sometimes a nuisance, because we had to miss a lot of D2R content lately from our beloved streamers and content creators, due to D4 coming up. More so, the D2R devs know that a lot of D2R players will try D4 and after some time will just come back to D2R, because it's just so great and addictive and has a great community. This game is and will remain very much alive and kicking ass. We just hope all your extremely valuable knowledge of D2R and great insights and recommendations for the devs of D2R is not lost to a new game. So in short, please keep up the hype for D2R with us and don't talk it down. ✌🏻

This game isn't mine, and I can't change what I didn't make so I am content with what we have. I am very glad we were given D2R and happy to enjoy it in the stable and great state it is in for a long time to come. Thanks for the update timely videos as always Dbrunski.
Just play pd2
Holy smokes, there better be more rws coming out ! The Necro and Barb still need a lot of love and would do well to have some of their own rws like literally every other class has! (White is meh) Also what about melee improvement and an enigma alt??? These are areas that could easily be addressed with a few more runewords (which seems to be their preferred vehicle of additions)
And the set change is kind of odd. So many sets and uniques could use this attention and it is now clear that they are ok with making some changes, so what the heck!?!
All in all, though. I am thrilled that I live in a world where one of my favorite games got a quality remaster and update! I do think Vicarious Visions has done a fabulous job, I just a part of the population that still wants more!
I love how what takes you 7 minutes llama takes 40. Ty for being brief yet through.
There go my hopes for them to finally buff melee characters
Blizzard is a garbage company and doesn't care about their loyal base. Modders with no money have made better content than blizzard
Pretty disappointing that there weren't more engaging changes, but they don't wanna compete with themselves with D4 coming out soon so it's understandable
There's still so many things that could've happened, stacking runes/gems, runeword adjustments or more set changes...
Project Diablo 2>D2R.
Dang season 5 before 4 huh?
Hey dbrunski what is the impact of NHD on lightning sorc? I understand nhd still applies to CL for example?
hi. got a question. will we be able to make mosaic runewords on non ladder?
If I don’t hear about loot filter, stackable gems and runes by the end of the video I’ll be disappoint.
you gonna be disappointed LOL
@@Dbrunski125 Sadge
@@Dbrunski125 hey, when my man Dbrunski posts a video and gives me a reply, that alleviates the chagrin.
Grats on the Maple Leafs too!
No thanks to stackable gems. If you're tired of gems taking up space, there's an easy solution, stop saving them!
@@fransingolf5314 why on earth would you say no to a qol feature like that? D2R is desperately in need of qol like a loot filter and stackable currency
I wish they made a lot of new powerful unique items or buff some of these underpowered we have now
ALSO an additional way to get tele on gear. Doesn't have to be as OP as enigma with huge strength and MF. Like vipermagi level stats runeword for like ist gul ist. Something that would be an affordable way to work toward enigma
I was excited to see the removal of NHD and couldn't wait to play my Martial Art Assassin today. But just find out in Player 8 Terror zone, the clear speed is only ever so slightly faster than before. I guess that's because even without the removal of NHD, Mosaic Assassin is already strong enough to clear any content in this game.
Unless there's meta changing big changes I'll stick with PD2
I just hope they eventually cut down loading times for my potato.
PD2 is looking real nice these days.
Thanks for the patch breakdown my guy.
Three major things need to be fixed for melee chars;
Whirlwind needs to trigger ctc on attack and ctc on striking.
Smite needs to carry elemental damage boosts from charms etc like all melee strikes do.
Zeal whiffing
I haven’t been playing D2R much in anticipation of D4. The more I get ahead of stuff now, the harder I can play it when it goes live.
When are they gonna make BK ring part of the bk set? That would fix the issue of NO good set rings, and it's a flavor win. Could make bk set actually worth trying depending on the set bonuses
Pretty underwhelming updates, I’m surprised (not that it’s bad) that they would add a change that affects how the game itself plays rather than making the 75% of uniques, particularly exceptional weapons, that are useless more viable.
BK's set is better than 2x unbending will's for a starter frenzy barb. They're probably cheaper as well to trade for !
True, but Nobody picks em up^^
@@petermeiee5402 I will now - could probably sell the pair for a mal rune in mid ladder!
I'm hype for D4 which is why I'll be playing my first ever D2 ladder this ladder!
I play EU ladder and -5% resist will work on assasins traps/skills?
So I haven’t played D2R for a while now but if would modify set gear and uniques to compete with Runeword armors I would definitely come back. New armor sets and/or unique pieces would intrigue me too. One could only dream though.
Play pd2.. season just started, and uniques and crafted items tend to be better than rw's
The patch notes say next hit day now only applies to missiles cast by the same skill. So why do traps have no hit delay now? Why is nova stronger? I feel like blizzard poorly implemented this change
a character slot is just a record in there sql database server that keeps track of all your items and all your attributes doesnt take that much space....
I would really love to be able to buy more stash tabs & a custom stash tab for Runes & Gems (Like POE's resource tab) so that I don't have to shuffle around for runes in my stash. Just give us a tab with runes from first rune to last rune that stack infinitely/up to a number like 100 or something.
No thanks! If runes are taking up too much space, consider either using or perhaps dropping some of them.
0 excitement for the coming ladder.
They missed on the main one -- nerf mosaic
exactly. those interns have no clue what they're doing. instead of fixing the class, they come up with a op broken, mandatory RW for the MA sin.. f*ing joke.
I never play ladder and only play offline because of the lag, so I don't care much about any of this. But yes, any change at this point is good because at least there somebody still working on improving the game
pretty cool changes but I was rly hoping for a new high-end melee RW with similar power as mosaic for the barb/melee pala to become "viable" aoe farming classes.
One small change for sins that would be cool.. especially in early play... mana after kill... why dose it not work at all for traps??
macroboiboi's video on the next hit delay is really good, it actually affect quite a few different skills, sounds great to me haha
Very excited for D2 Movement!
I hope they keep working on character updates like barb and melee Amazon still need a lot of work
I would love to find a perfect COA. I’ve been luckier with Griffin’s but I honestly think that both of these endgame items should be upgraded to +2 to all skills. Perhaps add * 15 fcr? on nightwings ❤
You want the best in slot items for high tier builds to get a buff?
@@MadMetalMacho It wouldn’t break the game one way or another. Not the skill points at least. I don’t know about FCR on NW though.. be very nice to have the extra skills, I don’t like to give up to all skills in order to get my best in slot. I would love to see the high lords change to +2 at level 99 I think that would be a good quality of life change.. Mara’s wouldn’t change. I believe in limits ..
@@quietlightning4063 Why do you want one item that's clearly best, removing all choice? In most people's opinion either the item that's best in slot should get nerfed or all the other options that are too weak should get buffed.
Buffing Griffon's might be the dumbest suggestion I've ever seen.
OK that’s your point. It’s good argument I suppose it depends on how people construe those items in general. I suppose it’s a majority thought thing, but it makes sense.
what i wanted:
top priority: ban bots
reasonable thing with little effort: a little bit of a mix up / fix to some terror zones
got neither
Going to be blasting through season 4 till D4 comes out next month.
We should be able to roll death in a thundermaul,legendary mallets along with many other onehanders should be able to roll 5-6 sockets
More stash tabs = less or no characters for mules. Moral of the story.... MORE STASH TABS
Stackable runes and gems, and a transmute backwards recipe for runes would be the best QoL fix they could do. Also should allow trolls nests and elite spiked shields to roll 4os, if for nothing more than to vary it up... Everyone is running around with a kite shield.
No stackable runes! If you're running out of space, drop some stuff. No one is forcing you to keep it.
And especially no to backwards recipes. It would really hurt the trading economy.
@@fransingolf5314 it would hurt the jsp clowns, not the economy. I'm 1000% for that. Get your pay to win BS out of here. Same with your stash... Der I have an unlimited stash with any items I want in it due to having bought a lot of external currency that doesn't drop anywhere in the game. I have zero respect for pay to win players. I firmly believe some devs are heavily invested as well. There's no other reason for a game that focuses on trading so much to not have any effective way to trade in the game itself. I have literally played free mmos with effective trade houses, there's no reason blizzard can't do it.
We need splash damage melee jewel mods. And currency tab. And a loot filter....
I'm planning on buying a good gaming PC after summer. Would be nice to play some D2R finally lol
don't bother. devs abandoned it and there's not going to be any meaningful new changes and the market is completely broken because of mass botters.
Wow bots in D2? 20 years soooo clean 😂
I really love D2 but everytime I start a ladder I'm just getting burned. Turn out doing 200-300 of the same run is repetitive.
we all wanted that knockback removed from BK sword; priorities on par 🤣
Thanks man, I appreciate your clarifications! Love your vids....
Can we have Pierce on Guided Arrow for PvE?
Make “Burizon” great again.
Would be nice. This is my most wanted change!
We ever going to get a currency tab?
Take a shot every time dbrunski says d2r is in maintenence mode
What device can i play this ?
The only thing i want to know is if the Mosaic runeword will be active in non-ladder, and when?
kinda want to know also...
Your content is so good and I've been subbed for years. That being said can you do more content on PD2, that game is far superior to D2R and has so much more content to cover. Keep up the great vids!
Season 4 and season 5 updates?
Awesome video DBrunski!! Awesome cover man!! Love your content!❤❤ I gotta vent here tho... that I dislike how Blizzard leave Diablo 2 project aside just to try make people go play Diablo 4... They done the exact same thing in 2007 with World of Warcraft... Stupid people are the ones to run Blizzard, there's a lot of ways to monetize Diablo 2 with small changes. One example is selling expansions with more content, and keep the classic version of the game for the purists to enjoy, the ones that don't want changes.. Or if they were to sell rune stashtabs, gems etc for 10 dollars I am pretty sure thousands of people would buy it to have their Stashes organized. Or they can just leave that income to Tencent via PoE. Even Diablo 2 having less players than Diablo 4, it could still be really profitable if it was in the hands of smart people.
2:40, so does that mean psn dmg is fixed?
I wouldnt say way more people playing d4 than d2. They expected that same result from d3 an even said that. Hard to beat d2 an thus far i havent seen a better diablo than d2.
Good changes. Just wish there were rune words
I'm amped to try the fire druid without that gnarly next hit delay between fissure and volcano. I will probably make a fire druid offline and maybe ol trusty fury druid on ladder. I didn't get a chance to try the new druid runeword yet 🧐
should focus on improving class sets and Unique's, too many class Unique's that have never been usefull
whens season going live?
Not enough
Make Thorns good again make it reflect magic and range damage or something.Apply poison dagger to any weapon and make it last a few minutes.
D4 in a month, not surprised its low on new rws/content/QoL fixes tbh. Probably the last patch for d2r for a while.
Waiting for D4 at this point. Really wish they would open up D2R to modding communities like PD2 and MedianXL. Not every D2 player will move to D4 and it's a great way to keep the Diablo community alive. Also Blizzard would make a boat load of money if they made the second Diablo 2 expansion that had planned guild towns and such. Every hardcore Diablo player would pay hand over first for new Diablo content and Blizzard loves money so it was a win-win that never happened.
Making money and making lots of money are 2 very different things
wooot 4 more character slots! ive been maxed out since ladder 1. I wont need to delete my lowest hero(lv 90) to play the new ladder
If D4 doesn't hold my attention, I'll try Classic Wow HC next.
These are all good changes. No need to downplay them, Dbrunski.
If uniques haven't been buffed for end game viability then I'll be disappointed.
5:13 if i wanted to read the damn thing i woulda read it!
My fire fury druid is gg now
Still no Loot Filter, still no stackable Runes|Gems, still no D2R for me this new ladder. Back to PD2 Season 7. Sad to see that its already going into maintenance mode and with that going to die out slowly.
Im actually more hyped for Last Epoch 1.0 than for Diablo 4.
Don't worry about the haters DB...they are just mind blocked and don't how to process opinions or information they don't understand 💯...lov your input always! Much lov✌️
Yeah...I'm giving PD2 Season 7 a try!
fingers crossed for removing poison damage cancelling
I havent played d2r in 4 months now, im just burnt out and not excited for any of these changes on top of it. They really need to upgrade uniques and such like that. Many people find grail items but why does it matter when runewords over power everything lol
Not if I would be hungry for more qol and melee changes but it appears devs want us deliberately dissapointed to lure more people to D4...
I hope there is more stuff for S4, this is nice but not nearly enough worth a whole season
They should learn from PD2... this changes mean nothing 🥺🥺🥺
As for me, I’m focusing on Diablo IV and just finished building my 4090 rig and got my beta Rogue’s mugshot on the iCUE AIO! Let’s go!!! Yayaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!
Ew
Sorry DB, we love you, but please don't talk down D2R by mentioning a possible maintenance mode, making it sound as if this game is done and isn't worth playing, that's just not fair. That's talking people down. The D2R team is still vibrant and doing excellent work in making the game fresh every season. This season even more character builds became viable (more than you mentioned) and that's great because it shifts up the meta. We are confident that a lot of new features and content will keep coming to D2R for upcoming seasons and we are really excited for that. I get it that the D4 hype has got you, but that is absolutely not the case for a lot of D2R loving players. For them it is even sometimes a nuisance, because we had to miss a lot of D2R content lately from our beloved streamers and content creators, due to D4 coming up. More so, the D2R devs know that a lot of D2R players will try D4 and after some time will just come back to D2R, because it's just so great and addictive and has a great community. This game is and will remain very much alive and kicking ass. We just hope all your extremely valuable knowledge of D2R and great insights and recommendations for the devs of D2R is not lost to a new game. So in short, please keep up the hype for D2R with us and don't talk it down. ✌🏻
