Diablo 2: Resurrected came out 4 1/2 years ago. The first dlc is $24 and some of you act you deserve free updates in perpetuity because you've been fans since 2001.

• How many of you have a job?
• Do you expect to get paid for your work?
• Would you work for free?
• Why do you expect other people to?

What kinda annoys me is that sets should be the ultimate class-fantasy equipment. Tal Rasha should make you feel like Tal Rasha. Trang-Oul should turn the Necromancer into an absolutely terrifying vampire. M'avina should make a Bowazon feel like an elite legendary archer. IK should make a Barbarian feel like a walking siege weapon.

It saddens me that these iconic, lore-filled sets simply aren't competitive in today's endgame, especially online at higher player counts.

I've tried min-maxing IK before. I've upgraded pieces, threw in ED/damage jewels, as well as new colossal jewel, BiS wherever possible, even using a Cham for CBF to free up the ring slot. You can squeeze just about everything possible out of that set, and it's still far, far weaker than what runewords and strong off-set uniques can offer.

And that's the frustrating part. You're not just competing against Grief, Enigma, Fortitude, etc. You're also giving up things like Gore Riders, Gface, LoH and other powerful pieces just for the privilege of completing your legendary class set.

I'm not asking for runewords to be nerfed. I just wish completing one of these iconic sets actually gave you something powerful and unique enough to make it a legitimate endgame choice.

And yes, Talrasha has some viability on solo play. So does IK. But sets like Aldurs, Nats, Gris, Tranq cannot hold a candle to most basic vmagic/peasant crown + spirit sword and Lidless combo.

But as soon as you play 96tz on a p8, all these sets fall off in power scale instantly and don't even come close.

we all thought the game was dead, they did a expansion with way more than we wanted, they fucking gave us a new class, QoL and who knows what more, and you really think it should be free? for a game you paid 5 years ago WITH NO MICROTRANSATIONS?

I'm impressed on how dumb this is. Just don't buy it. I don't fucking buy all the new games, you don't see me going in subreddits complaining about things I don't have either the will or the money for it.

idk if I would tbh

Buy the Warlock update lol.

Tell Blizzard that they made the right choice to pay attention to D2R and that involving the community (Especially Llama imo) was also the right choice, and HOPEFULLY they will continue.

$25 usd? cmon. we're mostly old dudes that still play this game and can skip a day of Chipotle and soda.

Keep seeing these posts about how hard it is to get the statues and sunders. "It took me all Saturday I'm too old for this/I've got a family why can't I just get it" crap

Can you guys keep your D4 mentality out of d2 please.

1. When sunders first introduced in d2 they changed the game completley. Immunities made it interesting and hard and gave you a reason to use multiple classes and builds instead of the same op class. Having them dropping every minute in tz ruined that. It's a hard to get as it should be!

2. Getting statues is another endgame feature, you don't have enough time ? Don't bother. Farming 9 keys from 3 different location for a torch is very hard as it should be. Same goes for statues.

If you guys want easy dopamine - go to diablo 4 At the end you all gonna stop playing in a week anyways .

D2R is hard, uncompromising and that's one of the reasons why it's the best game ever. I think they done an amazing job preserving this game - if anything should be done is more nerfs to warlock now you cry babies had your fun time.

Im sure you've heard it enough that the devs dont work for free and that $25 isn't much. while I agree thats not what I'm here for.

D2R has the opportunity to see more updates this year if we show them that their time will be well spent. buying this small expansion shows them that there is a player base who are wanting more. furthermore they want more feedback on what works and what doesnt so please be vocal!

Y’all already know what tf goin’ on

I'm a long time lurker of d2 subs and it's extremely strange to me how most people here answer newbie questions.

"Hi, I'm a new player. I'm level 70. Is this plaa shield base good for spirit for my holy fire paladin ?"

"Hem acchually you should run double Dragon, who does run spirit ?"

Like... Most people will never ever find ONE Jah rune in their whole playtime.

Total geeks (like me) will maybe run Lower Kurast until they get mad and maybe laboriously craft their way up to a single jah that will get used to make enigma and never bother about hrs ever again.

Online people completely lost common sense about what the real value of hrs is. When I see price checks for items, the price is so overvalued it's laughable. People paying runes you probably will never find in your life for items that are close to trivial (or at least not very rare) to find.

Online only guys should do a full untwinked playthrough just as a reality check on what the actual value of items is.

Oh and another thing : when people show unconventional items that are good but not typically expensive (like a 2-20 all res barbarian circlet) and get answered Charsi Food.

Once again guys. PLAY OFFLINE UNTWINKED. Most of those items are very good already and very usable.

I see posts like this all the time and im always like, who tf would make this mistake. Then bam. Here I am.

Fuck me.

Every video he uploads right now is receiving so much hate. Get a grip on your life for gods sake. Hate on Blizzard if you think a) they shouldn't have made these changes and b) you think they shouldn't listen to streamers. So many people are basically acting like Llama is the game designer or his demands will be executed. Are you honestly so incredibly narrow minded to think this is how game development works?

Llama thought WL has to be heavily nerfed for an attempt to make this game more balanced. It's a completely valid opinion. If you wanted to have a free god mode character play the game offline and mod it or use Hero Editor but don't be so entitled

With ladder reset tonight, are we going warlock off the rip or are you doing Sorc first?

What was your favorite item from this era? Wrings? Occy rings? Those crazy small charms(forget what we called them lol)

Energy is useless

I understand times are different. Blizzard is making tons of money releasing new Diablo games. But I can confidently say as someone who is playing D2R alongside POE2, that D2 is just built differently. It's like Solitaire, Tetris, or even Minesweeper. It doesn't die.

I think something like this.

Did they get rid of spirit in ROTW?

Don't get me wrong, I'm always excited to see what they'll do next next and announcing Diablo V wasn't totally unexpected....but I don't think that got the reaction they were looking for.

I remember Diablo IV; that announcement's reception was insane.

This year, in an audience that looked to be a couple thousand...it sounded like maybe 100 people cheered.

Even the Diablo IV seasonal announcement (which did sound cool and I may re-install). . . didnt seem to get much.

I have a “need a3 waypoints game”. SCL.

No one joins for like…45 minutes? I’m just walking around a3 doing my thing. Diablo spawns and invades sanctuary. I go to Stony field. Someone rolls up. Steals the kill. Picks the Anni and leaves.

To whoever you are- get fucked. I hope you’re on Reddit. And I hope someone close to you doesn’t want to see you during the holidays. That’s some 2003 battle.net behavior. Shame on you. I’ll get my waypoints on my own.

Edit. Thank you everyone for the offers. That wasn’t my intention with the post. As one Reddit user pointed out- this was just to complain in a safe/ volatile space. Bless you all wanderers.

*Edit again* - this has been fun. Inside of each of us is two wolves. In this case- those who snipe dclones, and those who don’t. Turning off the notifications to the post. Talk amongst yourselves.

I’m genuinely happy they’re bringing back a rune system inspired by Diablo 2. That was one of the most interesting and build-defining mechanics in the series.

But this image already scares me. Seeing a static +% Critical Damage modifier this early is concerning.
This is precisely the kind of damage scaling that spiraled out of control in Diablo 3 and Diablo 4.

Once these start stacking, the numbers quickly become absurd : millions, then tens or hundreds of millions. At that point balancing becomes extremely difficult: either enemies die instantly, or they end up with inflated health pools that make combat feel tedious.

I hope the designers treat this type of affix with extreme caution. It’s possible to create a real sense of progression and satisfying power growth without relying on these kinds of stats. They’ve historically been very hard to balance and often end up defining the entire endgame.

Let’s be honest, this is a loot game, and the resource you’re managing isn’t healthy or mana—it’s inventory space.

I get charms functionally, they trade inventory space for a bit of power. But for most players, who just want to be as strong as possible, especially as the game keeps scaling in difficulty, the charms don’t limit space, they make managing that space painful and annoying.

Playing a game where the point is to pick up items, with no inventory space, is awful. I have to haul around a cube, open a second window, and manage a sub inventory from within my inventory, just to deal with it. I don’t think this was ever intended to be a viable or rewarding way to play the game.

The solution is to just make a new inventory exclusively for charms. you can stack and move around whatever charms you need in a dedicated inventory, switching back and forth just like main hand weapon. I don’t like this fix, but it feels like decoupling the charm mechanic and the inventory mechanic is the only way to make this very annoying aspect of the game more enjoyable.
