There is no Diablo 3 for a true diablo fan, even Diablo 4 is already dead to me. D2 is simply a great game, and i can understand that some of you think thats "already perfect and dont need any changes @ all)
so please be salty and flame, it wont hit me at all :o)
Iam playing d2 since release (with many breaks to be honest, but every 2-3 years i'd play it with 2-3 mule accounts)
With every patch, there were some new additions to the game like new runewords, new items, new monster spawns in dif areas, bug fixes, skill adjustments and so on. You must be blind if you'd think blizzard won't change this game in near future. Some streamer/big part of the community will whine how "frustrating souls/nagas/stygian dolls" in hell games are... and they will change it.(just an example)
Dont misunderstand me, i will play the game, even there are no major changes @ all, but understand, that blizzard is not a good Samaritan for its core player base. Its all about sales. The hard core d2 players wont exceed 10-15% of all players, so blizz will do, whatever it takes to get players into the game and hold them there, no matter what it takes.
The best thing that can happen to the d2 core(that dont want any changes at all) is, that d2r will flop like warcraft 3 reforged and wont get any patches.
For my part, i dont think its a good idea when you'd need a 32:9 monitor in order to compete in late game (aka PVP). PK was always there in d2, but a Blizzsorc/MindBlastAssa hitting you 3 screens away, sounds kinda lame to me.(like a legit far cast mod).
What i want to say is, D2 is great, but new content is always welcome for me... The only important thing is, that the true d2 flair wont vanish due agressive/excessive patch wars.
That's what I've been saying, they will follow the money and popular opinion. If the reddit/blizzard forum peeps that want changes outnumber the "no changes" crowd buckle up and get ready for a ride. I just hope they make those changes on a separate realm or server so there's an untouched version to retreat back to incase the changes fuck the game up.
