Soon the necromancer will rise again. You might need to close and reopen battle.net if you're not seeing it.

nah we hate blizzard now, so servers will be okay with just the 8 people who are going to play.

But I would be shocked if they can't match the demand. The remake is still held back by the obnoxious purist who bitch and moan about every change and it's not a game for everyone. I don't see it bringing in many new people that would have started with say Path of exile, because it's still missing a lot of quality of life that PoE has...and PoE is missing a lot of quality of life on it's own.

On the other hand, blizzard seems to trying to gather as much negative press as possible so who knows.

I want it but then I remember it being impossible to farm on my own. Are there any changes like non-shared drops or tweaks to drop rates?

no the insufferable had an outrage when they suggested the mere idea of potentially discussing it.

Doubt anything changed with drop rates. The closest is all previous ladder exclusive runewords will be in the non-ladder version. Which is all i'll play and likely quit before lvl 90\\

always minionmancer...which i'll probably play until 60-70ish, then roll a hammerdin and play that to 60-70ish and then if i'm still having fun i might push one into the 80s until i get bored.

I wqs huge fan of it back in the day but quality of life in newer games has me completely disinterested in it because of purist shit. I tried the Grim Dawn D2 mod and fun with it for 3 days because of cross-classing and some added things. I don't want to deal with no skill bar, I don't want to deal with the way the economy worked in it, I want to deal with farming specific 1 in a billion drops, and even if they updated all of those things, shitty stash space is a full on deal breaker and I don't know how I ever tolerated that in the original game. I hope they update everything and tell the purists to fuck off.

When I eventually play it I plan to start with something non-optimal but with tons of room to grow, a cold aura zealot that will eventually wear dual Dreams and HoJ/Dragon to have level 30 of all three elemental auras with an Infinity merc.

stash is bigger then normal and if you play with a controller you'll get a skillbar...but still stupid purist prevent it from being on if you play with m/kb.

It's really a shame that they shit the bed so badly with wc3r that they're afraid to rock the boat any here.

D2 was a great game 20 years ago and i have a lot of great memories for it...but there's a reason why i've only played like 5-10 hours over the last decade and change. And it wasn't just the resolution annoyance.

I'll wait until they drop the price. It's 70 CAD for a 20 year old game with a fresh coat of paint. 50 sure, even 55. But not going to spend 70 on something that might not even be accessible in 2 years considering the way Blizzard is going.

Most gamers don't care and any outrage can be easily quelled by a 2 minute cinematic released on youtube.

aka they're low willpower pushovers, or sociopaths who honestly don't care about the issues and just want game

Until the next game comes out, right?

More power to you tho. Just contribute your part so the people in charge over there can show a nice positive report to the shareholders so bobby can get another multimillion dollar bonus.

As much as I want to play Diablo II again, I won't support a shitty company.

I bet they removed a lot of shit from the original game anyway, so I probably wouldn't like it.

But, I refuse to support blizzard. Also,fuck anyone who supports them.
