Least your balence team GGG isn't bad as Blizzards.

I feel like any reference to Blizzard should be "Blizzard" instead.

" I've been playing Diablo II since launch, and I still have the first character I made. You can still make as many accounts as you like on "one licence." I maintain 5 mule accounts and I play it a weekend every couple of months to keep my characters active. You will note that I have not bought a Blizzard product since Warcraft: The Frozen Throne. (Not the re-make). The quality drop was notable and dramatic once they ran David Brevik, Bill Roper, Max and Erich Schaefer out. And that friends, was a long time ago. Blizzard died - as far as I'm concerned - when they exiled the guys from Condor. For all their many many warts, GGG is the better group of game devs at this point. And it's not even close.  That necromancer hit 99 before LoD btw. Last edited by Sabranic_SilverDeth#2793 on Jun 11, 2023, 4:31:39 PM

IDK what goes on over at D:IV in detail, but did people already forget the thing GGG did in Kalandra League? You know, where they initially concealed the loot nerfs (and the Tainted Fusing nerf) and hoped people just wouldn't say anything? And now they remove the Balance Manifesto because losing any support right before league reveal day was hurting their bottom line?
Whatever the "balence" team be, at least they're honest. witch enthusiast, send occ/ele/necro builds

" D4 is DISABLE an item that changes your build basically it's so fucking stupid like I'm ma see this druid build poison burst nerf by tomm probably ROFL atm - They've disabled 4 items / ''Aspects'' basically cause they're too stupid to balance blizzard wise. Too stupid to find bugs as well these were reported in open beta and it just got caught on like if I had a list right it would be about 100+ bugs in this fucking game dude.

" because money. But d2R is pretty great to be honest. Ive literally put more hrs into D2R than PoE the past year. PoE has lost a lot of its magic due to the devolution of the combat. (Character depth, build depth is great, but the output is just visually cluttered garbage.) |
|
" It is, but it has little to do with today's Blizzard. The core of D2R is of course D2, which is Blizzard North, and the new "coat" it got, was mainly outsourced to Vicarious Visions. I agree with some of your critique of PoE's output. I wouldn't call it garbage, but it really needs a "reset", which I think will partly come through PoE 4.0. Sometimes, just sometimes, you should really consider adapting to the world, instead of demanding that the world adapts to you.

" Bill was forced to leave after he managed to stop a Microsoft buyout of Blizzard. (He saved many many people's jobs). Max and Eric and David left when the first iteration of Diablo III was canned and Blizzard started over from scratch. (Vivendi meddling). A bit over a year ago, they fired Geoff for absolutely unjustified reasons, and we was the last of the "old" strike team. (DII era, was never at Condor, but he took up the mantle of "old school Blizzard" after all the greats left). I won't go into how badly Matt Firor and Mark Jacobs, (of Mythic fame), were taken advantage of and screwed by Blizzard during WoW's formative years. By 2006, Blizzard had become a truly, truly wretched company. Last edited by Sabranic_SilverDeth#2793 on Jun 11, 2023, 10:17:16 PM
