I loved all the ideas

thanks gentlemen. Given that this topic has been around since October of last year... perhaps it sparked some interest in the novelty that was added recently? Haha. It was never the intention, but... perhaps! Feel free to share your ideas. and follow the format for me to add them.

New npc idea: changing 1 mod to Rare items... specifically? While this is a bit of a d3 concept, Rare items are Rarely if ever kept. IF this were to be added (this time it is intentional, we're all high on Hopium xD); This would also make it difficult for bots to beat a human in keeping what's good. And it would help us salvage "almost good" rolls. Personally, I think this should change the items to become BOA. Also, I am aware that this would be new to d2, but D3's ideas were an attempt at a progression for d2 and the reasons it failed (or changed too much) was 1- no lategame purpose beyond more grinding. Anyone with a bit of a mind finds this mindless and quits quickly. D2's trading was always great Because Most of the modifiers/stats of an item are usable, but rarely synergize which creates their rarity (that and staple references found within the uniques) and 2- Greater rifts were mind numbing. While going through a waypoint is sort of the same, it respects the more "grounded"/realistic feel of d2 and worldwide pvp IS the essence of the franchise (keeps the game fresh when you can come back to the old feeling which frightens everyone because warlock kind of impedes in that realm of speculations: it is overpowered and new items can disrupt as well... making your items feel less good than they were). I believe adjustments will be made to make the warlock a bit less powerful (pvp as main focus. Echoing strike is fun, but I think it should go all the way back to the player unless it hits terrain. If the pixels are missing, the damage should fizzle... same for hammers and arrows).

I will be updating the list based on what was added to the game if anything (I haven't gone over it yet). I'll gladly add new entries!

- Ability to reset the chronicle (once you've completed it)? Idk if I like that idea, personally. I'll leave it here.

Bump

> [Idea] Ability to replace a modifier from a rare item (rares only). While not dissimilar to D3, the idea is to reward Actual players as this makes it nearly impossible for bots to keep/find/sell all of the possible usable combos. Once the item has been modified, the item becomes bound to your account [can no longer be held by another player, programming-wise. I believe they've implemented the framework for this with the chronicles ;')_ maybe already in the works!].

Cost? Open to suggestions!

Add more voice comands on number pad.

Lmao! That's awesome.

8. Get the fuck out of my tzone

that's what hostile is for

Hostile button
I need someone to find the official post of the blizzard employee (on their forums) that said we could
talk trash all we wanted ingame. It was quite the endorsement of what the internet embodied before. Quite emblematic of d2, too xD.

I'd say the clear limit is: don't whisper someone your hatred/pain
I liked his idea, but I would much rather recover the [!chat bubble, overhead]. I assume they removed it because of chat bots joining games. Imo, just create an area around spawn where they'd removed from sight. And, obviously: ban bots xD.

Ah man.. I hate these bots and they're all from the same website (if you have not noticed).
I'd drag blizz to court if I cared and they'd be forced to pay if you have filed several reports of these accounts suggesting they do x y and z and all these solutions being the simplest fixes. Just wait a few months and slap them with a lawsuit they'd just pay you. You do need to track some attempts to reach out and them responding basically puts them on a timer for the inevitable conclusion. Truth be told, if I played more: this would annoy the crap out of me (it did) and I'd go forward with that process.

note: they might argue (if they dont just settle and fix it) that they banned these accounts... the obvious rebuttal is: it's the same fken website. There used to be a way to block specific words/letters in d2Lod, but that wouldn't prevent the chat to change to a 1on1 convo with the bot.
