Who cares about drop rates, I want to ask the important/probably answered questions like is loot instanced or are we all gonna wipe again on Duriel because we stopped attacking and are clicking the ground? Drop rates don't matter when the bots get all the good stuff. Can friendships still be ruined or did they patch it out?

Loot is not instanced. I think they did fix duriel, right? I didn't play act 2 in the beta.

MrSargent posted:From what I have read, Diablo 2 Resurrected is primarily being worked on by Vicarious Visions (under Blizzard) and are not the same group that did the WC3 remaster. Vicarious also did the Tony Hawk Pro Skater remake which was really well done. I get the concern based on how lovely the WC3 remake was but I have a bit more confidence in this group to make sure D2R is done right. Most of it was done by the d4 team actually, VV was only brought in relatively recently. I'm guessing that most of what we have seen (eg the act 1/2 and new character art and so on) is stuff the d4 team worked on. Presumably act 3/4 and the remaining characters are all VV. and yeah it can't be the wc3 team, they were disbanded and fired/restructured lol Harry Potter on Ice posted:Who cares about drop rates, I want to ask the important/probably answered questions like is loot instanced or are we all gonna wipe again on Duriel because we stopped attacking and are clicking the ground?

One thing I miss about D2 not having smart-loot, is finding a cool piece for another class and thinking “oooohhh, I should play a whatever because a dope whatever weapon just dropped.” You can’t still do that in D3, but it’s few and far between.

I had fun emoting "IST RUNE" in the mob of monsters during Baal runs, or emoting "owowowowowowowowow" while standing in the lightning of the Horadric Staff while it blasts a hole to Duriel's lair.

My old friend still jokes about it how we'd join games with people looking for someone to park to transfer their stuff and we'd just take it and go. It was always poo poo tier stuff but still. Never forget joining a cow game late and checking anyway, and finding an unid unique ring among the loot. Bul-kathos wedding band. Then, in another game with my original bowazon who I'd only managed to level to 89 somehow as a fuckin kid with nothing to do who could play all the time, I died and then popped and lost everything save my loving buriza which someone gave back to me. I remember going upstairs (because of course I was in my parents basement) and telling my parents I was done with the game. Naturally they complained about how much I played it. The game almost evokes the smell of that basement for me sometimes, where we had insect troubles so my friends and me would refer to it as the maggot lair.

So many attempts to get people to pop or steal their stuff.

I remember I had a friend with a high level necro pre LOD (maybe 70? was that pretty high pre LOD?) who got scammed and lost all his items to the fill your inventory with ears equip X and loot your corpse then kill him and the everything would drop since he didn't have inventory space for it and lost everything. it was amazing how hard he nerd raged at his stupidity.

External Organs posted:Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic, but I think the sheer amount of asset creation that went into completely revamping the look of a previously sprite based game tells me they're open to doing more and cooler poo poo with it in the future. Although it does raise questions about blizzard competing with itself in regards to diablo 4. Alternately, make cool diablo 2 poo poo and be comfortable making d4 a 2024/5 release or whatever. this is my logic for why activision may actually put in effort for D2R--those assets weren't cheap to make, and they might as well get some value from it. but, idk. i'm sure the bean-counters' perspective is if a game doesn't have microtransactions built into it, it's not worth supporting.

The worst part is they probably negated the ability to do a lot more in terms of QOL and stuff by keeping that stupid graphics switch everybody will use exactly once then never again except by accident.

Yeah even during just a couple day of playing the beta I was accustomed to the new graphics, then I’d hit that toggle and realize how much worse they used to be.

Like what? I don’t think that stackable or refillable potions for example would ruin the graphics toggle, especially when they’ve already added stuff like the miss indicator. I think there’s just a lot of purists out there - including the dev team - who believe that any change to the balance will ruin the secret sauce.

If I want to play current d2 I can always play non-resurrected. If I want to play an older patch I can always load up that patch. D2 changed so much over its life that anyone who is a purist makes no sense. Especially when multiple private servers have shown you can in fact make a number of changes & the game stays just as good or arguably gets better.

Eth means ethereal, aka it cant be repaired so once its durability gets low you put it on a merc (mercs dont use item durability) Khorne posted:I'm hoping their approach is "here's a minimal changes version on launch" followed by "we heard the community; here are a bunch of cool changes" They'll neverrr change poo poo up post launch Harry Potter on Ice fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Sep 16, 2021 |

So since the next attack bug is still there and presumably never going to be fixed, does that mean we just use something else? Is Sacrifice a viable primary attack?

Can eth items be used in runewords? Wait, can you find base items that are both eth and socketed? Was there a way to distinguish them on the ground in the beta?

Yes eth insight and eth fortitude are very popular for mercs. Also, the runewords exile and breath of the dying are built for eth items.

Khorne posted:Not familiar with beta. In the unmodified base game you'd have to pick them up to know iirc. But yes, you can have eth and sockets. I meant is it something they fixed in the new game, I know it was dumb in the original. Cause of course everyone knows the only colors known to man are white, gray, blue, green, yellow and orange

It is so odd which bugs this dev team has decided to fix and which they haven't. there must be something about NHAM that makes it harder to fix and they're just using "Original Game Experience" as an excuse not to fix it.

Is that Trapsin bug the one that was discussed a few pages ago about certain traps preventing the spawn of unique monsters?
