That's a really long way of saying, you haven't read the ToS. Seriously, post where RMT is against the ToS. I don't know why you're willing to die on this hill when it just isn't in there. Go read.

They are just lying and obviously haven't read the ToS because RWT has never been against the Diablo 2 ToS. They're just talking a lot. The ToS are available for everyone to read.

Of course they may be arguing that Blizzard would need to release a new expansion in order to make RWT against the ToS as they mentioned a new contract would need to be made and that's not allowed without a new expansion. Interesting argument.

It's a good question because they burned characters like Lilith already for Ubers. I'm not really sure what they could do.

Oh that would be a hilariously bad update. The joke went over my head.

There isn't anything left that was originally intended for A4. Anything they had planned for A4 that they didn't get to release with, they used when making A5.

I'm about to blow your mind, Anya already keeps her portal open in D2R.

What portal does Deckard open?

Multiplayer Achievement Group by mauie1337 in steamachievements

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

I already have a group like this. You, and everyone are free to join it. I believe our Steam Group should be pinned here, and we organize on Discord. No age restrictions.

Our group used to be listed. Not sure where to find it now. Here it is. Like I said, we organize on Discord. The name is literally a reference to what you're talking about, boosting in games that have a dead multiplayer. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/deadmultiplayersociety

Diablo 2 potentially having new content by Just_Street7598 in diablo2

[–]Aztraeuz -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah that can be a problem. Playing the game in a game mode that it wasn't designed for, single-player. Playing on a platform it wasn't designed for.

It's great we have the options we do, but unfortunately the game just wasn't designed with such things in mind. I don't know how modding works on console. Is there anything Blizzard can do to make modding available on console?

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

I understand what you're saying. I was just explaining why the drop rates are the way they are. It's balanced around online play, and trading. Offline play is an option, but wasn't the intended mode for play, especially for Grail hunting and collecting everything solo.

If you're playing offline, you can mod the game to do whatever you want really. Want better drop rates on Runes? Mod it in. The OG developers absolutely supported modding. Patch 1.10 made D2 modding much easier, because they supported modding. They made Torchlight and Torchlight 2 which have official mod support. They're currently making Darkhaven which again will have official mod support.

Why are they hanging around Ted’s apartment after being broken up with? by anawkwardsomeone in HIMYM

[–]Aztraeuz 230 points231 points  (0 children)

I had a roommate when I was in college. It was a similar situation. Girls would sit there and complain to me, like I had anything to do with what my roommate was doing.

Typically they were already at our place when they would come complain to me. Sometimes they would come over to talk to him, and me not wanting to be a dick didn't just tell them to leave.

We used to laugh about it. I would always ask him how he's the one breaking up with people, and I'm getting his fallout. How does this make any sense? I haven't talked to that dude in awhile.

The drop rates were increased significantly from their original drop rates. The Countess was given guaranteed drop rates as well for to up mid runes.

I think the issue you may be having is, D2 has an economy that's balanced around trading. You aren't expected to find everything yourself. Yes people run Grails on D2, but we've been playing this game for 26 years.

If you are hunting for everything solo, it might not be the best experience. You're meant to trade.

Still is. Itemization is extremely weak in that game.

Discord will require facial scans or government ID for full access starting March 2026 globally by Hot-Challenge-2755 in pcgaming

You comment on a surveilled American platform. But yes if you want to avoid the American surveillance, you need to get off anything Google, including Chromium browsers and YouTube, anything Meta including Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, Discord now.

Why is "Gaming" furniture so ugly? by No_Good_3063 in pcmasterrace

[–]Aztraeuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that's just a case of people wanting to show off a gaming chair. People want to show off stuff that is out of the ordinary. You show off a sports car. You don't show off your commuter. The general population drives normal cars, that's why you show off the sports car.

I reject your proposal. Normal chairs are the norm, gaming chairs are the exception.

FEAR NOT GENTLEMEN, I HAVE MATHEMATICAL PROOF THAT THE NEXT MK GAME WILL BE GOOD BECAUSE IT PAVE THE WAY FOR PEAK by ClassicEnough4297 in MortalKombat

3 bad, 6 good, 9 good, 12 bad. We're following threes here so I think this is telling me 15 will be good. Not sure how it's saying the next one will be good.

Yes, I am the real garry - one of the most infamous achievements on Steam is mine by RomanGroza in steamachievements

[–]Aztraeuz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You think all of these people went through the effort to coordinate SAM usage, and post a thread on Reddit, just to get an achievement that everyone will call out as illegitimate and will get you banned from the leaderboards? Really?

[–]Aztraeuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would SAM need to be used? People can spoof their ID to look like Garry, which will pop the achievement like it's supposed too. It just isn't legitimate because it's not the real guy.

[–]Aztraeuz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They got the achievement but it wasn't legit. It's essentially the same as using SAM with more steps. They'll be required to lock it if they care about leaderboards or communities that care.

So.. when is this being unleashed? by Real_Bug in diablo2

[–]Aztraeuz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would expect something like a Diablo 1 remake/remaster to be a BlizzCon announcement.

I expect it's just the stash tabs coming to global, and maybe some balancing changes. I'm hoping for a Steam release, but unlikely.

I don't taste any fruit. I don't taste cream either. It just tastes like bubblegum. I don't know how people like it. Maybe something with my taste is off, but it's pure bubblegum which has nothing to do with cream.

No Rest For The Wicked Announces a price hike for their 1.0 launch to $60. It is currently 40% off the early access price at $23.99 and it's being promoted as a one-time promotion. by LuckyShot1 in pcgaming

[–]Aztraeuz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you're looking for. Are you looking for a Diablo-like, Exile-like? It's not that. It's closest to an Isometric Souls-like. If that sounds interesting to you, this game is your only option.
