First of all, there is no where else to post this so I am posting this here. hopefully within the next 2 months D2R will have its own distinct sub forums, but until then, this is where I will post.

Right, so for those of you living under a rock, D2R is here. As I mentioned earlier in the year I will be hosting LLD and Later MLD Tournaments in D2R. The pla n is to host the first in December in "NonLadder".

There are 3 concerns as it stands:
1. Under supply of Items/Charms. I saw 1 good cold circlet, I think it was sniped for 2000fg+ (2/20/20/9dex/60mana) and 2 good Assassin 5 trap claws. I have also seen a few 3/xx/15's for sale (all the way up to 400fg each!) and 1 15/12. Other then that certain rares (circlets/amulets) are simply not seen yet.

2. WSG fixed. With WSG fixed, this is causing headaches at HLD in certain matchups. For LLD I will do some testing in the background and worst case scenario I will simply limit the total allowable FCR on an Assassin. I envisage being able to adapt other matchups relatively straight forwardly. (I understand there is a WW issue but broadly I dont see this as being too much of an issue noting Barb's with tele-staffs at 30 are already quite strong).

3. East vs Euro Rules. Most players do not like discussing rules ("my way or no way!"). I spoke to several players, I know no one is going to be 100% happy but at least for the tournaments that I host each class will be given the maximum chance to eek out a result between evenly matched players. The idea is that each class will have at least 1 build capable of winning a tournament (while accepting that in some cases its paper rock scissors with anti chars etc).

if you are reading this, and want to protest, be sure to post YOUR version of rules and we can scream and shout at each other for 2 months until I get something that I am happy with. (notice how I said I rather then we). In the meantime below is what I am leaning towards:

Amazon - cant wsg anymore. Balances certain matchups, making them more fair. tele staff on Java.
Assassin - MindBlast appears to be OP. Considering capping the max allowable FCR at 63% (will have to test this) or max allowable Mindblasts while namelocking (tempted to go with this one).
Barbarian - WW next delay? Noting Top End Barbs are monsters, I see this as balancing certain matchups.
Druid - Shaper is FUBAR. Consider allowing to lvl to 35. Desync no longer works, str bug no longer works. Tele Staff on Windy.
Necro - Tele Staff on Necro.
Paladin - No longer "dissapearadong". Not the end of the world. Skilled Medi remains banned.
Sorc - 65% block on Fire and Cold.

I will probably put a hard cap on FRW limits for Bowa (thinking 120) and adjust other builds/classes around this. Max 10 Repl on Sorc's, Max 15 on Ama/Assa and Max 20 on everything else is what I am leaning towards.

Again, I appreciate some people will not want these rules. I have no issues with players making their own rules and competing in their own bubble with those rules. I am simply trying to come up with a set of rules thats fair for each class.


tl;dr version would be
d2r pvp gonna sux just like its servers

1. i dont think this affects LLD but in case i am not thinking of something - FRW from switch (such as titans) does not work (apparently).
2. while run desync is now "fixed" (bad) teleport desync now exists in d2r (bad). i.e. you can magically appear somewhere else, which breaks namelock (apparently).

might as well start making a list and confirming it all one by 1.

3. movement desync no longer works (quite problematic for pvp but we will live with it.
4. wsg no longer breaks you out of stun/fhr animation (badly worded i know) .
5. fhr now applies differently in the game. the player is now "stunned and cannot move (apparently). should check all attack types with this.
6. burst of speed now enables players to reach beyond the known breakpoint limits (apparently). in combination with (5) this causes problems.
7. Fanaticism now enables players to reach beyond the known breakpoint limits (apparently).
8. firewall now does far more damage due then in d2. ideally someone will test a decked out firewaller WITHOUT skilling Fire Mastery, to see how close it is to a mastery Firewall build in the original d2. if its too low then some decision may need to be made re: res above 75 vs no fire mastery on firewaller. (this affects other classes more then it affects fire waller, noting the boot issues.
9. check range of df on assassin d2r vs d2
10. charge is much smoother now then in d2. charge bug no longer exists and the movement is way more user friendly. im a bit unsure if its the screen resolution or something else which makes it move so much better.
11. offweapon IAS now works for shapers (good).
12. It looks like that as a consequence of how FHR (5) now applies, mindblast and skills such as mindblast can perma stun a player, similar to how a bowa with pierce 7fpa could stunlock kill a sorc back in 1.08.
13. all the right side of the martial art tree for assassins now ignores block and dodge/evade.

caveat that i need to look at all of this to confirm each issue, err, i mean, each "feature".
