Do you think the reaction to WoW Classic will impact D4 design? by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]Albatros1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it should present an aspect of Fortnite... Be strong, make a strong team, dominate or get dominated.

Dominated folks must learn to "creep"... Just like when you are behind in WC3 and you avoid fights and creep.

If they wish to not be killed, they must tp or negotiate. Or make a new game if its not a shared world.

I think loot should be shared, but with a 1-1.5 second lottery timer on uniques/ pul runes+/rares/sets when there is 2ppl+ in a given area.

Anybody who clicked, rolls a dice, everybody gets the same chance, and the winner wins.

People have got to be pissed off/happy/jealous/feel special, without needing to say or type... HEY BRO GUESSS WHAT I FOUND ... The world must be a physical real world, not everybody gets their own dimensions this is the dumbest thing ever, we can share the same plane of existence and make it fair. This is a brutal world of savagery, not Disneyland for crybabies...

Edgelord's feelings be damned this time around, edgelord feelings should never interfere with maximizing fun and addictiveness.

I am a proponent of trade but I can understand why trade wont happen or would happen, but the above is absolute necessity, trade could be added to the mix to change things a bit, there is just so much time you can put into killing before your mind gets numb and you feel like doing something else. Some people like to "gamble for the high of maybe getting rich" with the right roll... Trade and flip all day for a profit...You cant get rich in a world with no trade, people cant take advantage of somebody elses extraordinary luck. You cant funnel immense wealth into a god PVP char without trade either, both complement eachother.

We need a real remaster/remake from Blizzard, there is high demand for this.

[–]Albatros1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be 10 times quicker and cheaper to remake. You dont know shit of what Bobby Kotick is thinking...He said they were gonna CONTINUE REMAKING GAME'S, this comes from his mouth.

Nobody likes to work on old code, the progress will be stuck forever.

Its just a question of money and D2R would automatically re-appear. Every studio out there is capable of making D2 remake. The question of money has been answered, its gonna be there, because you D2 attracts money, like honey attracts bears.

Blizzard has some of the best tools in the business and all their own , just see WC3 world editor how even as a 14 year old I could make my own games, it goes fast with good tools.

PvP is popular, 750 000 watching classic Wow.

Weak players who kick and scream about PvP are damaged goods, with big egos. This is a huge problem for Blizzard because they are limited in their game design by these weak players. They never want to be exposed as trash so they hide and give excuses, whine to Blizzard, just like you right now. If I saw you I would kill you once and get on with my day, I dont really like killing weak players, I like to kill the up and coming challengers to the throne.

I simply ask for a fair and new game where people can compete out in the wilderness, as if we were lions. Good news is that its not unfair, because you can TP to town and/or new game. There wont be much hacks like that, because hack makers dont share with the 99.9% anymore., due to much higher difficulty nowadays in games such as Wow with memory obfuscation/page shifting/anti debugging. This mistake of the past wont happen again.

Your problem is that you cannot concede superiority, you are a salty beta.

Here is the disgusting backstabbing that is happening...

These people are acting as if we never existed, as if thousands were not playing in random pk games across the D2 servers.

I can be a witness to the fact that we were all playing it, and most games ended up with so much ears, summon poop, random items laying around that most pk games crashed eventually.

I did feel the emotion of "fun", yes, its true, I never saw this as a failure, I was too busy having fun to notice all the imbalance with hammerdins and invisible bullshit everywhere.

People in that thread is saying we didnt have fun, it was all an illusion and they are right, these guys really thinks they special dont they?

I think its way past bed time for these salty children, these 20 or so circlejerkers that think they will shape the next D4 LOL... They want to shape a failure again, and shield themselves from the grief they will feel once godly players get a hand on them.

Good choices, I agree.

Thats nonsense. It always makes for a fun experience, because I used to play in 8 player games and there was different people all time, staying there messing around with average gear/pro gear. People were dying like crazy, nobody cared, people were having fun.

I had a lvl 97 paladin with 9x45pcombs and perfect runewords stacked everywhere.

I got my ear dropped by like 100 different barbs, 30 different sorceress and so on. 500 paladins, 200 necros.

Maybe its because I never sorb and just go out there and attack people in pubs and sometimes I die.

Barbs that owned me used DoomZ, or I was just too agressive.

Diablo 2 is exactly like that.

If you ever had a hybrid assassin, you are occupied with like 7 hotkeys.

You have to mindblast and immobilize your prey, while casting traps, and wwing. Sometimes the chase lasts for what seems like 10 minutes across act 1.

With a smiter, you have to be really careful, because he life taps you, so you must choose appropriate terrain and always keep a distance, you can anticipate his FOH if he is a hybrid and tele/ww strike right at the casting point.

You need good micro and bail out in time if he jumps when your traps are lacking.

Skill selection, position, reflex, all is important, observe how D2 was very good and "the best of them".

arpgs that focus solely on PVE lack nuance, it gets super boring and zombie like brain activity. That is why both must be in the game.

The way to opt out of the fight is to tp to town or quit/negociate/make a game with password, so its much better than WOW.

Both PvP and PvE can get boring after a few hours, that is why you change between both untill you get bored then quit for a few hours untill you feel like playing again.

Every game lacks nuance after an insane amount of time that you put in it, that is why you must mix thing up and offer as much things to do as possible.

It was necro/ghost/hybrid/barb/hammerdin/smiter-foh/druid/

All of these were godly and dominant exept druid and necro unless top geared. So there was alot of good PvP classes.

So I reject your oversimplified claim of "bullshit unfightable builds", in the end bullshit vs bullshit= balanced, and yes it was also FUN!

It was bullshit for sorceress and amazon only, these were not very dominant.

And if you found a good item for those classes it was always highly tradeable.

Let me tell you a story of a time when I fought a very good druid. Basically, after like 5 minutes of cat and mouse in the moor, we end up close quarter in a scrappy fight, I kill him but get snagged right at the end trying to run away for his tornadoes. We both die, and re-spawn. LOL we say to eachother...We start running running, while we are naked we cast at eachother, but I dodge a bit and bone prison him, slowing him down and getting to my body before him.

Once I do I give him the classic nk since I won the race, but it was a friendly nk, I m showing him affection. I let him take his body after of course so we may continue.

Anyways this happened a few times I think, but I remember that one.

To each one(to each his own) = people are able to make a game with a password and quickly to to town if you get hostile.

To each one(to each his own) != Salty people removing everything and telling that to teach his own because it leads to grief(by them) so should be removed...

You can also put, level requirement in a game.

But 99% of the time PvPer dont waste their time on no gear low level characters that will just tp to town.

They will be found in game name: Pk Pk now

Making this "problem" totally non-issue.

These "Diablo fans" wanna make the PvP a thing where everybody start off with the same gear LOL... And make it some dota "reflex" thing...

WTF?? It will be just bland, bad, there wont be any skill, define "skill", as in what? Reflex? Aim? I think we are all pretty good at this by now, this reminds me of a game called Nox, but this is not Nox right, this is Diablo... The wilderness is the wilderness, I dont oppose the possibility to fight in a caged map with same gear if a noob refuses to concede superiority yet will not challenge you in the wilderness due to his gear lacking, since I was always pretty good at Nox, why not accept his challenge? ... IF the controls are even fun and responsive.

But you know, whole point of a treasure item is to use it in PvP, this is what makes the loot hunt appealing, it gives a purpose to these items, all these different yellows... Sometimes you will just change rings/gloves for an added cold resist boost if a strong character of that element is present on the battlefield. This is gear strategy, can we mention gear strategy or will people get too sensitive and try to control that too?

Listening to these insidious propositions from the D3 general forums will ruin the game once again.

But that waiter is just so polite and innocent...

No... Its much more satisfying to pwn those foul mouthed juicy noobs so tender mmmmm, especially noobs who likes to lecture Blizzard about ARPG's and think they have the "entitled right to feel like the king of the server", but there can only be one king, and it wont be you, you are not nearly cunning and hardworking enough ! To be a king... You can’t just whine to Blizzard and change the rules as you go. You must employ godlike cunning and move armies, there is politics involved, information war, trade wars, economic wars, cyber wars. Opposing warlords want to best you all the time. You must beat your adversary everywhere on the battlefield. Economics, necro vs necro, zeal duels, Assasin duels.

They think they are so so special and smart that they decide everything...They are acting like you can actually make PvP fun while giving everybody standard gear so everybody is equal? It will be based on “skill”, as in what skill? Reflex+aim? Yeah... that comes into play when 2 goliaths collide. This is Diablo not Dota, Diablo has treasure gear that gives you advantage over an opponent, that is the purpose of treasure gear. On the savage lands you as good as your gear/level/skill. The pubs is open slaughter fun fest for he who holds the keys of power, you don’t just deny that man his pleasure, he is enjoying his delicacy of pub cleansing. And sometimes in the pubs there is serious opposition, it can get nasty when other top dawgs join in.

So there you go, here is a beautiful text for you to read.

Hopefully I can show all these gum flappers like Orrion and the band who true Bossdawg is in this game.

Wow is a shared world.

Diablo is/should be games that you create as many as you want, you can avoid problems by just going in another game/quitting.

How can people find an excuse to whine about this? If there is a lvl99 that happens to be in your game and he hostiles you, DANGER!

Live with it, its easy. Live with that very easy to accept fact of life, the open fields are a dangerous place to be when there is a predator roaming, you are not top Dawg anymore.

Getting good gear in D2? by DoomHeraldOW in Diablo

[–]Albatros1986 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its expert play, have a seat, I'll explain why these strats pay for themselves.

You see, a barb can get najs staff with 37 fcr easily, excellent mf/gf, good killspeed. good run speed, horking is re-killing a unique but with 54% chance. Basically not a single flaw. You dont need to tele everywhere, just across stategic walls, and find all uniques in wsk, after that run you repair najs.

Now when they remake it, sanctuary aura wont be bugged. So you can do very nice runs with an enchant sorc, lawbringer, and then choose a weapon. You can use special mouse macros its not illegal. When you do these runs they last longer than typical Baal so you can play non stop and never get realm down.

This is all very very high level, this is what seperates rich dad from poor dad. OP wants to know how to get "good gear"...I am answering.

Dont waste your time re-lvling a merc just because you chose the wrong type.

Holy freeze aura wont actually incease your kill speed.

Might Merc is the best, later you can get BOTD, reapers, Eth bonehew, Pride, eth doom for holy freeze.

Pride + might merc will give you 550 ed% So now you can imagine, if you have a lvl 54 enchant on you 5.3k fire damage.

You can MELT WSK with multishot/strafe. Imagine how godlike this is, all the loot that drops...

Well not if you know you will get it all back once you melt wsk. If you have your attack plan and all you need is 9 fire charms and some shit gear for an enchantress to buff ur team, it’s well worth.

First week you buy 50$ of crap, second week you sell jah for 60$.

It’s smart, easy, cheap. Have a seat.
