I had a wall of text to post, but will keep it to the following;

I play this game because it has potential to be better, I DON'T play for Guild points, Unlocking characters OR forum gold or reset ladder. I play the game for proficiency (Ranking). It wouldn't really make a difference to me because I would basically just stick to Non ladder and play.

By the way, what is the point of Guild points on Non Ladder? All your previous answers to my post was about D2... this is not D2... this is "LADDERSLASHER" not "NON LADDERSLASHER"


So you wouldn't mind either way.

The thing is, you talk about restarting from fresh and giving people a new start etc, well there are plenty of players currently want the high Proficiency that they collected, so, do you think they will be justified by being moved to a Non Ladder core where even ladder resetting doesn't happen?

What would be the point of proficiency for newbies if ladder reset a week later? What, they got to like Rank 5, maybe 10 if lucky. You need to think about the game as it is, this is NOT D2 and only about items, guild points or resetting ladder for a lot of players... this game is not designed that way.

There would have to be a MASSIVE overhaul on how you gain profs, drop rates and quality to boot for your idea to even make it beneficial to support your idea, or just get rid of Proficiency altogether since resetting ladder and moving to non ladder wouldn't make a new player any more equal on Non Ladder.

If you want to start fresh, you may as well just Bufcore run on Hardcore.

You could still reset non-ladder the same as you could reset ladder. The only difference is non-ladder reset just drops everyone to level 1 with all their gear. A ladder reset converts everyone in ladder to non-ladder with all their gear. I don't understand.

Magic finding, guild points, godly setups. The exact same reasons you're playing LS right now. :lol:

You guys know we already did this with the beta test realm and it was pretty popular right?
And only current players even knew it existed.



Yea the 3 players who played the beta for items loved it .

The rest of people waited till Paul ported the gear over .

This isn’t doable with the games current state

I mean u May enjoy playing with 30 ee 55s but I’d say 90%dont

You forgot one very important item:

Where the hell is my HELL NO option??

Simple answer_ we don't have the player base to support this concept

Damn kids!

LS section polls should have a "HELL NO" option filled in that you can't remove. It is known that any poll without it is invalid :thumbsup:

So you’d be hoping that the game on it’s own is good enough to pull in a ton of new players... something it has always failed to do. Even at its peak it was max 200 or so concurrent players. A good percentage of the players that still play have years worth of time invested in proficiencies and 100k+ in gear that they likely wouldn’t want to give up for a fresh start. On top of that you’d need to get a group of players dedicated enough to stay with that season with horrible gear for the 500-1000 mqs needed to reset. Poe resets every 3 months and their player base on average gets bored and quits a month into that and it is far more of an in-depth game than this.


Yeah but on reset people would play with randoms..or anyone for that matter..I'm not even close to being "Random" played ls on and off mutliple times sold all my stuff and had 2 monks 2 different seasons. And I'm STILL a novice/random/nobody.

Getting kicked from party every time I try to play is a great feeling. Just the way this community works. Double edged sword where the elite stay.

Not noob friendly, should be a "tutorial MQ" a single instance. Once per account. Can't abuse, (?) Can't sell/trade the gear but if there was like quests and xp was greatly increased and moderate-shit gear sets were dropping say every 5 or 10 levels (after reaching X level, or completing a map..). A base that everyone is comfortable with and it won't fuck the market. (30EE-50EE)


That way when you're done and let into the wild/base game you have SOME shit gear to work with that doesn't affect the market in any way, and can still solo (albeit very slow) or can at least group with different groups. (All 55 - 30--50ee ish)

Call It like a novice set. You pick weapon/armor.

Dagger sword etc. Dex, str ee etc.


That would actually be fire. Release an app. Maybe make a different website JUST for LS.
