Hope it’s true, make it true, make it happen! Let’s make Diablo fans happy once and for all

The only way that Blizzard can make Diablo fans happy will be by having them release Diablo 4 and concentrating their efforts on that instead of an old game that belongs in the archives of history.
Although for the record, I’m happy with Diablo 3 as it is. When Diablo 4 is released, I’ll likely stop playing Diablo 3 the same as I stopped playing Diablo 2 when I first got Diablo 3 so long ago.
I prefer Diablo 4 over Diablo II Remastered. We need Diablo 4 this year, blizzard cant fail it again like last year. Blizzcon 2018 was quite disaster and fiasco. I dont wanna it will happen again ever!

To be honest, I really want a good remaster of D2, but I fear it won’t meet my hopes or worse it will meet my fears.
The grim side is an important part of Diablo (well atleast in 1 and 2), but I feel that has been forgotten.
So I hope they remake graphics based on the grim past of diablo, not diablo 3 or worse borrow some stuff from HotS.
But the more cute version of the game can ofcourse sell everywhere and reach allot more people, I fear Blizzard will focus its efforts on the larger market and not the old fanbase.

Why don’t you guys just play Diablo 2 right now? Are the graphics that important? Most annoying thing about D2 remaster is gonna be that I can’t mule with myself anymore since all my keys probaply will not work… I hope they just patch D2 to scale up to full hd and leave it there.
Diablo 4 would be way more exciting :_)

I pick up D2 every once and a while again, still a great game imo.
Personally I hope they will rework it, but leave it mostly intact.
Just update the graphics and retain the grim dark tones.
But in addition put in some QoL changes and maybe some “new” item/runewords.
There are many more runewords in the game and I wouldn’t mind seeing some new stuff in the game.
Some rebalancing wouldn’t be unwelcome either, however if I its not an issue for me if it stays the same, I’d prefer nothing happens above someone going tweaking without actually testing or researching and maybe leaving a game that is worse of.
Would also appreciate some new areas that fall outside the campaign, like integrated D1 (as in D3 part of the year), maybe a new area that is like D1 going down level by level but increasing diff and running allot further to the point of becomming near impossible to continu, not with insane rewards, just to have an extra challenge.
A place for cosmetic changes would be welcome aswell, but not very important to me.
As for QoL. No more stamina bar, larger stash (not bigger inventory unless the part were charms fit remains the same) and a single stash for all characters, so no more muling games, possibly a reset button which resets the world (pref an NPC in town, but only usable when everyone is in town, which respawns all enemies, removes all townportals and basically would be like entering a new game), this will reduce the number of active games by allot I think and thus reduce server stress in addition to being a nice QoL.
News just in…
Diablo Four Leeks.

D2 had patches IIRC and many ridiculously overpowered rune words were added during some patch, but also some extra bosses and challenges. I preferred it as it was before those extra rune words were introduced. From memory i remember something like “patch 1.9” but it is so long now…
I presume you mean the runewords like Grief, Enigma, Chains of Honor etc, those were added in 1.10, 1.09 was with the older runewords like Silence, Leaf and Memory, after that in 1.11 they added an armour runeword for each character but most of them were bad.
I personally liked the 1.10 runeword allot, while balancing could’ve been better, they brought a diversity to the game.
Especially runewords like Beast was a great thing, had lots of fun just theorycrafting what I could do with that and finally came up with the Bearsorc (think it was actually the first one, although ofcourse it could’ve been cooked up by more than one person at the same time, never seen one before I finished mine).
But some where indeed very overpowered and they easily became the new endgame gear, its where some re-balancing would be a good thing as with some of the skills.

Crap. nothing yet again.
Good. Diablo II is a part of the legacy of the franchise.
Had you indeed been paying attention at Blizzcon, you will have noticed that there are many elements of Diablo II that will be a part of Diablo IV. So far I have picked up on Runewords, Trading, PVP (not too thrilled about this one), classic Diablo gore and darkness, and the return of the Sorceress and Druid classes.
I will point out however that I’m not disappointed that there is no news of a Diablo II remaster. It’s an old game that deserves it’s place in the courts of history.
Let us all move on to Diablo IV instead.
Just make the D2 areas in D4 again. People get the nostalgic feeling and everyone will be happy.
According to leaks D2 remaster was planned but was cancelled becouse blizz didn’t want to split the player case between D2 remaster and D4, that’s why D4 is such a big wink to D2 fans
Well remastering D2 could have been done in 1 year, 2 at most and they should’ve started before Blizzcon 2018 if there forges were running hot as promised, or just after the fiasco of Diablo Immoral to try and get on the good side of the fanbase.
You up the graphics, remove stamina, make a shared stash (and a bit bigger one) and maybe do a tiny bit of rebalancing and further leave it alone its a good game don’t mess with it to much.
Most of the work would be convertion not creation and should take allot less time.
And then release it end of june 2020, 20 years after D2’s original release, happy D2 fanbase. We all buy the game and play it for 2 to 3 years till D4 comes out (hopefully atleast, it might take even longer).
By that time those who would go to D4 will go to D4, they will not split up the fanbase, the others were never gonna anyway now they’ll stick to the unremastered D2.
Atleast we would’ve had something in the mean time while waiting for D4.
D3 is more a start the season and quit after a week game atm for many players and I don’t expect much happening there to change that.
They just risk more people leaving the franchise to games like PoE or Grim Dawn with not making D2 remastered, imo making it was a win/win, not making it a lose/lose.

[Diablo 2 Remaster Cancelled](can’t post links Google it)
My heart is in grief, Blizzard has permanently killed its Diablo franchise and they can’t even see it.
Since 2010 i’ve been buying blizzcon tickets in the hopes of Diablo 2 Remastered.
i will never buy anything of blizzard again.
This was only a leak, which is nothing concrete… Only blizzard knows what is happening for sure.
to get a D2 remaster would require the team to re-write the whole of D2 to work on battlenet.
They are in the middle of doing D4. My guess is that If they do a D2 remaster, it will be as an expansion to D4 with maybe a free to play version of just the D2 campaign. Theres no point doing the work twice over
