Anybody who argues that "the gameplay experience of D2 is better than D3" is delusional. Diablo 2 was great, especially for it's time. But Diablo 3 was a much faster paced, smoother experience. Even if you modded D2 to the point where you could run at gamebreaking speeds, it still felt janky. I played both games for a looooong time, several years in fact. But D3 is the superior game in terms of gameplay, while D2 is only superior in terms of atmosphere and story. This is coming from someone who plays/played almost exclusively Hardcore characters on both. Dying in Hardcore D2 often felt cheap and unfair. In D3, I knew every time, like with Dark Souls, that I made a huge mistake, even if the cause of my death was unpredictable. D2 had way more cheapshot deaths, like traveling through a waypoint and spawning into immediate, unavoidable death. That never once happened to me in D3, unless I had teleported to town and immediately back to the same area I just left, and had ended that fight with enemies around the waypoint. I'm going to be playing a lot of Resurrected, but these QoL changes are fucking brilliant, and don't ruin the game whatsoever.

[@jareddurr4320]

The auto gold pickup doesn’t have too wide a radius. You still have to run up to the gold but don’t have to get carpel tunnel spamming lmb on the ground as the gold shifts around on the ground

In game horadric cube recipes and rune words are great, it should show what appropriate level for each class especially for beginners. Gems, potions and runes should be stackable.

I read that they will not have additional inventory for charms for the reason you said yourself. To maintain the integrity of looting convienance and how many charms you really are willing to keep active on your character.

[@TheFos88]

Hmm. I hope it is added in as a choice cause though I agree about the inventory vs power decision, I would also like to see if I'd like it as it does sound like a nice qol addition. If I don't like it I could turn it back off. Guess we'll see.

[@OutbackJackNL]

Great summary! Also liked the 'non-intended' charms pun ;-). About the dedicated charms inventory...this is currently integrated in Project Diablo II. Your inventory is basically doubled in size. All bottom slots are for charms only, top slots are free to pick up loot. I get your point that it messes with that charms/loot balance in inventory, but it also has a lot of convenience to it. Having played original D2, and project Diablo II I now kinds prefer a bigger inventory as well...

[@propcustomz8731]

I think auto gold pickup is wonderful and i would love a charm inventory. Most folks would have their cube in their inventory with all the charms to store anything that dropped. So having the extra storage without have to go through the extra would be welcome, imo.

[@sereksusvictar7888]

I would have liked to be able to do a holy grail with infinite stash tabs to hold it all. There is still so little stash room, and they didn't update the cube so it was an actual cube with equal sides.

[@frankmartel5775]

The auto-gold pickup does not pick up all the gold. You still have to walk to the gold piles (close to it) in order to get the gold. Don’t have to click on the piles just to miss-click somewhere else

[@mikolajwitkowski8093]

You don't like auto gold saving clicks but like Cow King? Old school was to open the cow level in single player, kill the king and never go back, it was an Easter egg.

[@George-uw7bf]

Exactly i didn't understand his point... Killing the Cow king may indeed change the meta because of the good drops it has. "Auto picking up gold makes gold farming characters more viable" what kind horse idea is that? Uniques have like 1 in 5000 chance to drop off gamble , so you would need like 250 million gold for an unique ring. Even though the chance is that low i would like to: a) get additional space for charms, so i can get all the rare/magical items to sell them to vendor b) have untlimited gold cap so i can take my 1 in 5000 chance on gamble :D

[@skychaos87]

The rune and gem stacking idea is a must imo, because without that i'm 100% sure we will still have to rely on mule characters to store those currency items and its stupid. All they had to do is add a currency stash tab that allows stacking of runes and gems only in that tab. That way, players will still have to manage their inventory space when playing the game. It doesn't break the game in any way, in fact it also encourage players to pick up low level runes and gems that are useful for certain runewords and recipe. It'd be even better if they would allow 1 click combining of runes and gems in that currency stash tab once you obtain the horadric cube. A good example of currency stash tab would be one like in Path of Exile. The second most important feature i think should be implemented is in game market place. Not that stupid real money and bidding auction house bullshit like in diablo 3, but an actual market place where players can put items up for sale or search for items to buy. Not only does this solve the problem of players having to spam WTB or WTS in chat or in forums. Players can also easily do price check in the market place without fear of being scam. They can also add a mechanic of currency sink where players need to spend a certain amount of gold or something in order to put item up for sale. A good example of a in game market place is like the one in Guild Wars 2. There are many other things or features i'd wish for like balancing the class and skills, reworking the unique, set and runeword items or allow players to create a pvp game with dedicated pvp maps and system(like clan/guild pvp and round based pvp where player items are locked and not allowed to change in between rounds etc. So many more things to improve on, but seriously, if they can implement currency stash tab and in game market place, i think it'd be the greatest improvement in quality of life and greatly enhance the diablo 2 gaming experience.

As someone who spent he first 10 years of its release playing heavily, these changes make me very happy. I’m looking forward to no more mana burn bug, and hopefully they fix the multi hit glitch (if the first attack of a sequential attack misses, they all miss)

[@thatoneguyffs]

Omg mana burn isnt a bug its a thing the ghosts attack does .... If you log in d2 lod right now and find a ghost it will say under its health bar homing attack burns mana. Its not a bug its supposed to happen.... It was even in the game way back in 05 when I started.

[@BenFilley]

@@thatoneguyffs oh buddy calm down and take an Alka seltzer. Mana burn is bugged. And has been since 1.08. Though mana burn as an effect has always been in the game, the bugged aspect of it has only existed since (I believe) v1.08. In which it does (if I’m remembering correctly) 512x the damage it’s intended to do. Which is why it can drain a 5000mp pool in a singl hit in hell. Which is why it can murder a barbarian nearly instantly, because it also effects the raw damage number that you take to your health pool.

Any idea if the ladder only unique will also be droppable on non-ladder ? I never knew about the weapon switch.. does sound like it will kill pvp :( Runes and gems defiantly need to have staking otherwise many acts is required to stock pile crafting. For charms... Well charms have all ways been off proportion size(lb's thery) and defiantly should take up different space. Coming from a back packer a gc would be equal to a skate board in sizes LOL But breast plate is only 6 spaces.. hmm.. don't know about you but my key chain charms don't take up that much space :P

[@richardrichter2285]

yes, all ladder-only items will be droppable in non-ladder

[@chrono2959]

Now that we see how it is and how they did it I think they could make a small fortune if they would give extra shared stash spots for a price like if they charge five to $10 even $20 and extra stash , I'd even pay 20 bucks per extra slot you know

[@ghostkillah7255]

I don’t think they will add anything to reset your stats and skill since your already have 3 chances with akara and unlimited time with the token that your form in the cube ( you need all 4 drop from from andy meph diablo and baal) some kind of crystal from 4 different. Color

[@Hamish_Whitehaven]

i hope so, would be be too much change for me

[@hctaz]

Hmmm… so I’m really liking the auto gold pickup personally. The range on it is very limited so I’m always having to intentionally walk over the gold. It’s not something that happens on accident like it is in D3. As for the shared stash possibly being extended: I do like the idea since it means you can hoard even more loot! The biggest thing I’d probably ask for is stackable gems and runes. That change is probably controversial I’m sure, but it’s one of the only things I have banking characters for. It would help eliminate the need to clutter your character select screen with a bunch of level 1 bank characters if you could stack these things. It also wouldn’t really change the way runes and gems are stacked anyway… If I run out of space now, I just simply make another character to put more runes and gems on. It’s already basically unlimited storage, it’s just a hassle to manage it.

[@magik7675]

13:31 that's bad idea because now there is no choice but use larzuk. Ealier you could decide to risk your base being ruined for better stats by using cube recipe.

[@sim.frischh9781]

Yes, stackable runes, jewels and gems would be nice, those should be normally very small compared to the rest of your equipment. I imagine you keeping gems in a little pouch or a gem box, the runes could go in something like that as well, the jewels should go in a jewelry chest, especially for the ladies!

[@Asgardians3t]

There is a private server that i play d2lod and they have a small pouch that u can cube with any gem and keep the gems in there, it even tells u how much of each gem u have and there is a hand item u can use with cube and pouch to specifically pick out the gem type u want its rly convenient, wish they had it for jewels too

[@ZedNull.]

I used to pvp a lot and can confirm if there is no way to break out of stun then you will die 99% of the time. example: a charge using paladin with a bonesnap maul most people would give you for free/cheap could kill much better geared pvpers as long as they get the first hit in to start the stun lock.

[@DGen_apparel]

Any word on seperate drops for players....? No more stand by boss and spam click when drops fall ??... Please say they updated thay part

[@OldSchoolGameSnob]

For the moment, it's not a thing, but I think they are discussing it. No official word as far as I know.

[@chadtal46]

Your #5 point about consoles and cross progression: I have a switch. I'll be taking Thursday off to jam out to D2 on my PC before I have to fly for a business trip this weekend. So I'll be playing it on my switch while I'm gone. I don't know how much it'll matter longterm, but there are certainly perks to the cross progression system for travelers and switch users.

[@TheFos88]

Great coverage, sir. I know some scoff at the ability to enjoy D2 on console but I myself am incredibly excited to have this on my Switch. I also find the auto gold pickup to be a great and needed modern feature personally, but glad that it will be a toggle for the player to decide on. On the possibility of having a dedicated charms inventory, I don't know. I find myself curious and feel it'd be a wonderful qol change, while also agreeing with your take on it that it was always an integral decision to make concerning extra character power vs how much you can carry. Regardless, I hope that makes it in for sure at some point, and maybe also letting this be a toggle for the player to decide. Casual players may not think twice about it but for those of us who do like a bit of challenge, it would be nice to have the feature be a default but optional.

I lost an unid unique thunder maul trying to xfer to a mule once. I was super sad

[@ddiver7908]

will the dungeons be created randomaly?

[@jerometruitt2731]

3 MORE DAYS!!!!!

[@parabellumCH]

shared stash and permanent pg is just soooo much relief I feel you

[@thriftypsgr]

I have a PS5 and I am really excited to play this game finally. I played Diablo 1 on the PS1 and Diablo 3 on the PS3 and the expansions on the PS4. This is the only one that I have not played. I have always been a console player. Can’t wait!!! I already have it bought and preloaded.

[@MattJermy]

Oh. You are gonna love this. You missed the best version of Diablo ever , I played it on pc over and over for the last 20yrs .. recently as much as 8 months ago.. .. am coming back to it on ps5. Stoked as.. its gonna be epic.

[@evanwestphal3073]

I personally really hope they handle single players like pluggy is. Infinite storage and d clone spawning randomly or when you sell 1 soj would be so much nicer than just regular shared space. Also for auto gold pickup I wouldn’t mind if something like light radius, which is otherwise very useless, had a hidden feature of extending your gold pickup radius maybe by like .5 meters per level or something

[@realitym0nkey]

So if I have a lvl 30 Amazon on current Diablo 2. It will be lvl 30 on D2R once it gets released?

[@richardrichter2285]

yes but only in single player. In multiplayer, everyone starts fresh.

[@realitym0nkey]

@@richardrichter2285 Ah gotcha. Tyvm!

[@wojciechpajak7166]

Picking up gold manually = Carpal tunnel syndrome says "hello".

[@aK1baby]

the bug fixes bother me too a degree. 1)weapon switch was the go to way to fix the games imbalance on rare occasions. 2) eth bug has grown on me as a feature. it just felt powerful to craft such thing only once without really breaking the game. and giving your wooden stick AI merc some survivability in hell. perf eth arms are still a rare drop so crafting the right amount of soxxx to it has it still only be available for a very small perc of players that actually are farming endgame

[@kasialotnik2864]

ok, did they fix paladin charge bug ?

[@DTSephiroth]

Clicking all those piles in the forgotten tower was annoying af. I'm personally glad for an autopickup gold, and my mouse is happy too. Also, the Cow King thing was a bug that they never fixed. It has finally been fixed. Also, the charm thing is just a PITA. I hated it. Between books, the cube and having charms, loot space was beyond premium.

[@oobidoob5470]

1) The weapon switch fix is pretty detrimental, as stun locks are very easy to achieve in pvp for certain classes. 2) The eth bug fix is fine. 3) The 'next hit always misses' glitch was actually not solved (which also affects spell casters btw, if you are hit out of an attack or spell casting animation the next attack/cast will not hit anything). The forum post detailing how it was fixed referenced server/client miscommunication, but the bug also exists in single player, so whatever they think they fixed was not the NHAM glitch.
