Diablo 2: Resurrected
From what I’ve seen it’s just a reskin with graphics. The loot system hasn’t changed from the original. |

Last Epoch is the next big thing coming in this genre, it needs multiplayer but it's already my favorite one.

played it.
Awesome overhaul, faithful recreation, incredible really how they made it so 1 for 1 and did just a #1 awesome job on the graphics overhaul. Still plays like d2. The game has been passed by. Nostalgia is there, substance is not. |

I disagree hard, because 90% of the playerbase doesn't even know end game exists. UBR Trist, Hell Portals etc. 90% players never even touch this. Not to mention Diablo world spawn. Plus the PVP is going to be amazing.

Once the nostalgia wears off the game will be a ghost town and that will happen pretty quick. I'm sure there will be a small minority of people that have been playing modded versions of Diablo 2 for a decade stick it out, but it will be a game carried by bots like Diablo 2 is today. There are a handful of ARPG's out there that just do what Diablo did and make it better. It's a dated system. Much like WoW classic, Blizzard is pulling at heart strings to turn a profit because they are out of creative ideas. I would bet that after the ooooooo and aaaaaaah's wear off of Resurrected a bunch of the players actually go back to original Diablo 2 because of the mods for that game that create content which wont be allowed in Resurrected |

Its a beaten game that people moved on from decades ago. Like I said, there will undoubtedly be a small minorty that stick it out because they simply love the game for whatever reason, but don't kid yourself into thinking there's going to be some long term large player driven economy for longer than a couple weeks. You'll be making trades with bots on d2jsp in no time. There was already people hacking the latest weekend beta and unlocking the necromancer and bot farming tombs. |

Even the most populated WoW classic servers had a peak population 6k when TBC came out. Most servers struggled to reach 1k.
Your definition of "huge" is extremely narrow. There was probably more people playing Wildstar when they permanently shutdown than there was playing WoW classic. If WoW classic wasn't tied into your sub for retail that game would have been shutdown long ago. Last edited by jd1020; 08-18-2021 at 11:56 AM.. |

What's your point?
The game died off very very fast. Sure there are still 2 or 3 servers that have a large enough community on one faction to enjoy the game and not notice any shortcomings, but the idea that the WoW classic community is "huge" is ignorance. If you look at Wildstar, that game shutdown with 1.3M subs. Compare that to the number of unique players playing WoW classic which is like 100k or some shit (there was 10x that number just watching it on twitch when it launched). WoW classic is essentially a dead game that survives only because its a sidecar attached to a game with 6M+ subs. And a major part of player retention in a game like WoW is the social aspect, which doesnt exist in a game like Diablo. Last edited by jd1020; 08-19-2021 at 09:03 AM.. |
