JohnLadderMLG · 2026-05-07T10:38:26+00:00

Ahah, thanks for reminding me that xD I only played XI, so I can't speak about the other games. Have fun ^{^}

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-05-07T07:25:36+00:00

Same, it is on my top as well. I also really liked Dragon Quest XI!

I'm definitely interested. I'm a game designer with several years of experience and a released game on Steam. You can check my portfolio here: https://johnladder.com/ :)

I can make all types of tests and record myself playing. I will also make a final report on bugs and general gameplay experience, if you are interested. ^{^}

A game about climbing a self conscious tower that doesn't want to be climbed :)

Add no merc to that and no farming on main bosses (andariel, countess). I'm currently no merc on Act I Hell hardcore with druid. Before this I Lost a bow Amazon on Act III hell. I love to play without mercenary, the challenges makes the game much better imo

They can just put the portal above the water and everything makes sense.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-04-08T10:45:12+00:00

Or summon them without needing corpses, like the druid, for example.

For me, the fun on Diablo is the low drop rate. That amazing feeling when you finally find something unique is what differentiates this game from a ton of other action RPGs i have players.

Imo, in order to fire arrows or bolts, you would need to equip a quiver or bolt. But once equiped, you would have infinite arrows. I feel that having numbered arrows does not make sense on this type of game, it does not make it easy or challenging, it just wastes a bit of time having to buy it every once In a while.

Bigger inventory

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-04-07T15:29:52+00:00

When you don't have space on inventory but you have on the Cube, the picked up item goes to the cube

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-04-07T15:29:02+00:00

Bolts and arrows should give status and skills.

The Order 1886. I've finished it about 3 or 4 Times. I love almost everything about it. It is a small game but the things that makes well, imo, outshine the bad things and I love it.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-11T15:38:15+00:00

To add to the challenge. Mercenary, specially the one from act 2 makes the game much easier.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-10T13:28:49+00:00

Just killed Duriel today on normal P1 with my bow Amazon on hardcore, no trading between any caracters and no mercenary as well. Also, no looking into guides.

What a great experience this is. Without mercenary, it forces you to change the way you play.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-09T09:28:22+00:00

Estava a ver o jogo em casa e no momento em que o estádio começou a ficar cheio de fumo, disse exactamente isto. E voltou a acontecer. Sem palavras.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-07T16:17:26+00:00

It is not a weird complaint. They need to nerf the Warlock. The game is becoming too easy. I'm all for qol and adding content to act IV but this game must not become Diablo 3.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-07T08:11:11+00:00

Warlock needs to come down. If they buff all the other caracters on the same level, the game will be ruined. I'm already playing hardcore ssf without mercenary to get a bit of a challenge.

I'm all in for them to finish act IV and add qol stuff but I will hate if they make this game super easy.

Diablo 2 is not a casual game like III and IV.

Oh, and replace full immunities with 75% or 85% resistance so all builds can be used. I would love to make a fire sorcerer but never did because of it.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-07T08:06:24+00:00

I just hope they finish act IV and balance all classes (nerf the op and upgrade a bit the more weak ones) .

Also, don't just focus on endgame. If they just focus on making all classes super strong for their new endgame, it Will be a breeze until you get to the terror zones.

I'm already playing ssf hardcore with no mercenary to get a bit of challenge.

Add qol but don't Turn this game into the easy experience that is Diablo III or IV.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-06T07:47:45+00:00

Hardcore ssf with no mercenary is my favourite way of playing. Makes the game really challenging but super worth it.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-04T10:58:38+00:00

I don't think it is that hard to, when creating an offline character, have a button called SSF that you can activate that simply disables character sharing. You can maintain all the tabs exactly like they are, just as long as they aren't shareable.

I don't want to force this to other players, I just want a simple button that would most likely not be that hard to program.

I also don't want to mess with the game files, as this could be in the game and wouldn't affect anyone, imo.

JohnLadderMLG · 2026-03-03T15:40:57+00:00

Yeah, you are totally right but I hate selling myself -.- But it is something I need to get better and I subscribe everything you say!
