It seem you want a great challenge with season on D2R it’s really a good point!
But for a balanced challenge blizzard will make item not tradable like d3?
Because tradable = site who sell all in €
or
D2jsp = some ppl get easy stuff with ton of fg
But we will not lie Diablo 2 is really hard for getting all stuff by his own self, so this need rework too
So Blizzard will think about this for season 1 or maybe 2? Because there is no balanced challenge if the system don’t change
and the project 1 inventory for charm and 1 inventory for drop still actuality? or it was just a fake project? Still be usefull and nothing change to gameplay
I agree. Ladders where you can trade have always been meaningless due to RMT making them p2win. I too hope for, and would only play in, a decent “no trade” ladder that would deliver genuine fair competition. Ideally no grouping either (SSF), but that’s probably never going to happen.
Fair enough but it would represent the only actually meaningful ladder. If people can p2win, they will. I have no interest in playing competitively when others have an unfair advantage.
I understand where you are coming from, but I don’t think that’s the way to do it. I am almost more lenient towards “soulbound” items in Ladder (for example, bound to acc). So everything you find, is yours and yours alone. It is still a half-measure I think, but not as drastic.
That is same Problem like the fact that some people want to have higher drop rate. But if they would increase the players found Uniques like normal Items wich makes Uniques being no longer Uniques. Second Problem some are ready after two weeks game finished. Third Problem the ones who where crying about drop rate found than every run Uniques but find also than not the one that they search like and endless devil Circle.
The only thing that you could do there is some thing like this:
Fill the rest quest slots in Act5 with lets say Kill the Cow King and get the Recipe Book from Cain wich stands in every Town next to the Chest and bring second Quest to go to Tristram in the old Cathedral Caves to find the Horadrim Anvil. Wich stands than also next to the Chest. With Normal Mode you get than the Book with Recipes from Normal Uniques and Set Pieces. The Expensional Book in Nightmare and Elite Book in Hell. But to Unlock you need Shards wich you get by destroying Uniques or Set Pieces on the Anvil with a Diamond in Normal a flawless Diamond in Nightmare and Perfect Diamond for destroy Elite stuff to get shards Normal Shard/Expansional Shard/ Elite Shard. Lets say to unlock one Recipe in the Book you need 25 Shards for Normal 50 Shards for Nightmare and 100 Shards for Hell.
And the Equipment can be forged on the Anvil for the normal Type of Armor or Weapon + Jewels or some other crap. And the Craftet Equipment is Account Bound than you can use with Twinks but not share them. And in Group Killing Bosses the Items that fall can be shared for 2 hours only by the Members wich where in the same group at that time.
And adding in Ladder on every Mode Book an Recipe for something Special a Weapon or Headgear or Costume wich needs way more Shards to unlock it.
For Backpack wich could be placed in inventory the you get a switch arrow on side of it that you can also switch at Merchant or Chest per click on it wich is big like storage but have no effects for Charms and can get by quest lets say killing Ubber Tristram Bosses per Quest line.
Than the game should have a realy long journey to unlock all pages and it will hard like before to get good gear but in some point where players never find there Gear they hav eno chance to get it also with thousands of runs but by shards than. But if they could something bring bevor first Season starts again or if this could kill the Bots also i would not put my Hands in Fire for it. In my eyes they could do this more in Season 2 as bigger Update or new Expansion in combo with a new Character like Exorcism Priest or Shamane to bring for only fun group players a Heal support Damage Class in that the people realy could play with Tank Heal DD Class combi to Manage later way Stronger Modes wich could be added but must not.Also for PVP Arena fights 3 VS 3 could this be a good point? Storages are Problem but i unterstand them in that point that we should not be messi thousands of Items but a Backpack for having more space at farming that you must not go back after one Equipment drop because you have only Horadrim Cube Place free is a little bit ugly.
But it will stay difficult to bring all players peacfull under one roof where no one must Cry or feel hatred.
Assuming a lot of people play the ladder, the items will be found. But since only a small group (I think, no idea really how big the p2win crowd will be) will pay real money. All those found items will therefore channel their way to people paying real money before they head to people doing trades. It is absolutely p2win, if you want it to be.
it’s not fair, it’s just luck.
i found a ber and a jah rune on the same day. that was rly luck.
but in the nxt 2month in never found a ber rune again.
so let’s compare player a) with player b) with no trade option:
a) has luck and found a ber rune in the first week
b) has no luck and found no ber rune in 2month.
is it fair? no. it is luck. to have trade make it a lil bit fair.
the one who trade the items, already has found the item. → the item was dropped/found in the ladder modus and is still there.
To have the option to trade it don’t made more or less items. It changes just the owner.
The player with the most time to play will have the best items when trading is possible. That is fair.
The only real important point is to identify and ban botter. But not to forbid trade.
Maybe just my opinion… but i love the d2(r) trade.
No, its you trying to “win” solo in a multiplayer game.
Take some streamers or a clan they can achiev this things and more by working together and feeding one player. You don’t stand a a chance against this kind of players either.
Sure with using real money you buy this power from others. But in this game there isn’t a advantage you can only buy with money.
Would not mind to have besides normal ladder a Solo Selffound Ladder - some games do exactly that (Path of Exile has also Path - Solo Selffound HC, and Path - Standard HC e.g.)
