I believe I commented on two threads for d2r. One was something about poison damage, and the other was scrutinizing why war cry is blockable. I enjoy the stupid singer build.

But yeah ever since D3 I've had a sour taste in my mouth. I put a decent amount of effort in some feedback threads. Obviously nothing ever happened and I'm not mad about my thoughts in particular. I was always reading alternative feedback from other users that were completely legitimate, and nothing ever was considered from the devs. Some of those threads from others took quite a bit of work brainstorming and gathering data. Of course there is a little over exaggeration on my side. I'm sure there were a few instances where community feedback was considered/implemented, but its so few it feels negligible.

wr0ng

it didnt get deleted because it was op

it was fixed with a few other exploits in the game loop

yes but bring it back still

it was never an exploit, it was lack of foresight thinking 1/1.000.000 is "enough" of an upper limit to make it "impossible". They never took into account the hoards of players and bots farming year after year.

what i suspect happened is an unintended fix when they made sure that going forward "banned" skills wont spawn on items, as a result of wanting to add new items that can roll skills. (Warlock books, daggers)

edit: after thinking about it, having the ability to bot farm specifically for this item makes it an exploit.

still wr0ng

ww and holy shield were results of edge cases in staff mod rolls where the staff mod failed to roll an allowed skill 6 times then the game gave up and left whatever skill it landed on the 7th time

the fix happened on d2r release nothing to do with warlock

i know why it generated, i was disagreeing with the term "exploit" though i agree it was an exploit after all.
