Yeah, I hope I’m wrong too. But, even just looking at the gameplay… I don’t see anything good there.
You described what i feel perfectly...
D2r is just a perfect storm, like a guy said...
U forgot to talk about the value of a UNIQUE on d2r against the value of LEGENDARY on d3...
sometimes if u win an unique on d2r u can jump off the seat (talking for example about griffons/shako/war traveler/Hoz/etc)... you can see the items name on the floor and u say "daaaaaamn, my first XXXXX ever !!! " and u will be happy all day just for an item !
But on d3 is like "well, another legendary with +1 strength than the last one, meh"
i played LOT of d2r (played d2 on my childhood too, but i had like 8 years) and i can say exactly where my first shako (baal NM), Jah (council on mephist room), BER (travincal) was dropped, i can remember the AP 3os 15/15 i won on cow hells, and that means that moment was epic for me, farm a lot and didnt get a sh**, but when u see that items on the floor, u think "damn, this day worth ! "
I hope 2 things for D4 in future:
1° You will not need to be fully equipped with an exactly build for make difference, like d3 build where u need an exactly belt, or u dont hit a sh**.
I really HATE pass from Torment 2 to Torment 12 JUST for a fucking belt... what is the point of that ? that is NOT a balance upgrade, you dont feel nothing in the process, is like "well, i have to farm this little dogs lvl 1 on normal, and if someone drop this specific belt i can beat all the damn HELL holding my click pressed"
2° Simple items with HARD drop... i mean, vipermagi 34 all resistance and i win a vipermagi 35 all resistance "DAMN, THAT IS AN UPGRADEEE! " vs Belt with 5% critic/100 dex/-4% elite dmg VS Belt with 4.5% critic/150 DEX/-4.5% ---> "wtf, which is better?! for this exactly build and for the future? i have to save the 2 options and make a fucking investigation for see if the +0.5% critic worth the -50 dex. Come on... i want to play, not do advance maths.
