So it sounds like this game isn't going to have any kind of ladder? Still probably going to pick up eventually just to relive some of my fondest gaming memories but man that's a bummer, basically kills a huge chunk of the replay value. Why did it get axed in the first place - it can't possibly be that hard to implement something that was already in the original and also in every other game Blizzard makes.

Herstory Begins Now posted:Honestly I expect it will have a ladder cuz that's clearly one of the like 3 things they need for the game to not flop and even speaking as a cynic I don't think they'd be that dumb. But every day it is not in after release is like a 50% lower chance it ever gets a ladder. Ah ok, really weird that they need extra time to implement it but that's better than nothing. I guess I'll do a slow casual playthrough to get my nostalgia fix and then hopefully by the time I'm done we'll have ladder functionality. But yeah that doesn't really bode well in terms of post-launch support lol. Not gonna keep my fingers crossed, but as you said it would be extremely dumb not to add it. edit: v - that makes sense!

I mean Diablo 4 is realistically probably at least 2 or 3 years away, likely more, so I doubt D2:R would be competing with it in any real sense even if they did add new content eventually. They're still updating WoW Classic and that doesn't seem to be eating into their regular WoW market, and hell there's an entire generation of gamers now who never played D2 back in the day and have zero nostalgia for it. Wouldn't surprise me if this remaster gets a huge surge of initial players and then rapidly cools off to a playerbase similar to D3 once everyone gets their fix (much less if they actually don't add ladders pretty quickly after launch).

Huh, I thought I'd be able to wake up tomorrow to find out if the remaster turned out good or not from people that binged through it overnight but apparently it doesn't launch until like 10 am tomorrow. I thought midnight releases were basically the norm now.
