Why do you keep new items in ladder-only?

At Ladder 1, the new runewords, now the game changing Sunder Charms. And NOT for normal game. Why???

I think majority of the players are doing this for nostalgic reasons, and is a middle aged daddy at this time. We do not have that much time, as we had while we were kids.
We do not have time for after a year of playing, when finally we have a normally geared character, making a new one, and start from zero, just to be able to enjoy some new staffs.
As daddy’s we don’t have 8 hours daily to play this game… I’m happy if I can play 1-2 hours a week

Why don’t you care about thousands of mid-aged players? Who the hell has again hundred hours of time, to make a new character just to be able to farm a Sunder charm???

Also I would be surprised, if not ALL the players would be a daddy aged veteran, since I think this game in 2022, for a children, is simply boooring. You will not hold young generations attention for hours daily, with a game killing the same 1-2 monster thousands time after and after, to get a little bit better gear.

On Xbox, yes, I’m confirming, anyone I speak with, is a daddy.

On the trade sites, there is also thousands of users, who are marking on their personal page that “HEY I’M NON LADDER ONLY”

Blizzard, it has a reason! Please think about it.

Totally agree with you, although I am not a “daddy”, I thought they said they were going to add the new stuff for each season to all players when the season ends. Isn’t that what is happening now or am I missing something?

And if they are going to add these new charms for ladder season 2 only for now, I think this is unfair since it is a huge game changer and a new feature we all deserve to try first-hand and not be “punished” for not playing ladder. For runewords it’s fine to keep it ladder-only at first since it’s not that big of a deal, but these charms are totally something else.

I’m totally with you.

…new rune items will be available on normal once the season ends… just take time and read the season info…

I don’t know about the sunder-charms for sure, but all things in the current season are available in SP. (It seems, that this isn’t the case for terror-zones, however. But instead, you have the “players 8”-command…)

So the only area, where the season-items aren’t avaiable is normal online-mode. Although I wish, the terror-zones would also be avaiable in SP. (If so, what have I missed? I didn’t find and option to activate this, and didn’t get according messages with my nightmare-characters… Perhaps, you must kill Baal in the according difficulty? However the pathnote state, that you must kill him “in any difficulty to activate the feature”. There is no mention, that this is only the case for the difficulty, where you have killed him. But perhaps, I test it again.

But to answer your question: I think it’s because. you should have a motivation to start new from time to time. And as reward, there are the possibility of new items…

BTW: you won’t loose anything, you get in ladder. It will get transfered to normal online play, once the season ends.
