but these assets are for stuff you put in your inventory, categorized under organs

Maybe those are new organs that drop from PvP, instead of taking your ear now I can just collect your jaw and spleen bro (definitely not this cause they ear says player_ear the other just says jawbone.. hmm)


Doubt it though, kinda looks like new content is coming by those images.. or they HAD plans of new content..

well that is interesting

The original D2 devs talked about how there was original some kind of system (for crafting, maybe?) where you could collect body parts from common monsters. Tails and claws and organs and shit. I wonder if these are updated assets from the OG game that were never actually used

This is true and also the second part.
Some of the assets never made it into the original game because of the 'gruesome' nature of them.

As for the rework I would probably say that they just decided to rework every single thing just incase Blizz were to release new content containing those very items(perhaps a quest they were intended for the first time?).

This, good point. I remember this being said

player_ear

maybe, the only other assets that I don't know what they are for are these

Herb was definitely from original game files.

This is right, the game had an organ system during development that never made it into the final release. Monsters dropped organs and you would use them to craft potions and consumables of that nature.

The assets for these organs were never removed from the game they just remained unused. Other things like the Constricting Ring exist in the game data as well but cannot drop. The assets for the brain, eye, and fang were used later in patch 1.11 for the Pandemonium Event.

It’s cool to see that they went ahead and updated the other unused assets.
