Making this topic in the hope that someday before njag or we croak, we see some new content to this forgotten game. Please lets circulate some ideas for to potentially implement to improve all of our favorite game, ladder slasher.

I think new game modes would be cool.

A delve mode thats only startable if everyone in the party is a certain level range (55-70) where you won't get EXP or drops (maybe till the end of map?). You complete a map, and once finished you fall through a trap door(increased diff) and better loot at the end.

A mega boss/mode that allows for more than 5 party size

Some sort of campaign?

Dunno, this game needs some life especially with all the new traffic coming for d2r. Lets see some ideas

A mega boss or raid would be neat. Get everyone in to take it down and it drops temporary server wide bonuses. Ex: boosted xp, boosted drops, increased regen speed, double damage, idk

a core that when reset happens all characters and items are moved to softcore (like an actual ladder reset)

No more suggestions please. Paul has this habit of making it worse. He never does it exactly the way the entire playerbase wants.

yeah would be cool, buff could apply for XX time after it dies.



don't think this is quite the game for that. We did a 5 man climb on the beta test server and it took 8 hours starting from scratch. No thanks on this



kinda like making wishes, Don't remember what it was, but you'd make a wish and it wouldn't come out like anticipated/have a nasty drawback lol

more of an issue for playerbase imo. no need to split it any further, already hard enough to get a climb on either server at offpeak times and can be hard even at peak times

Kind of agree with this, we wanted the shrine child proofed, now it is impossible to use (liked the idea of locking items, not adding an extra click for any)

Sounds like the Monkey’s Paw

I was about to say that

I like the mega boss idea

Arena should come back as well

Sounds nice mate

I have a few suggestions too:


1. A solo-friendly feature where you'd fight monsters one-on-one. It could be called "Arena"
Additionally, a feature could be added to encourage streaks. Something we could call "Mob Chain Counter" or "MCC" for short. The higher your streak, the more exp you'd gain and the better the drops would be. You'd lose the MCC by exiting the Arena, taking too long to spawn the next monster, or leveling up


2. A new Catacombs mode, let's simply call it "no-maze Catacombs". You'd fight waves of tough monsters. The overall experience gained would be lower than in maze Catacombs but it would yield better drops. Perfect for groups who want to farm gear over GPs


3. Remove the wells in the Catacombs, put one in town instead


4. Rename the Shrine to "Shrine of Mu'rakar" just because it sounds very cool
