[@moldraxian]

Do not nerf this. Being able to clear any zone at lvl 99 is HUGE for endgame. I don't want to have to 85 zones and Baal/Nilithak/Diablo. This is an amazing change.

[@illwillsquared]

just play pd2.

[@moldraxian]

@@illwillsquared Uh no.-

[@justinzhou]

@@illwillsquared No, i prefer d2r graphics

[@wildwest1832]

yup, sounds good to me. Its an option, and lets people have more variety a good thing

[@BeesNTrees47]

I agree the concept of any zone being worthwhile is exciting.

[@JoblessPunk]

My thoughts: 1. I like the introduction of Terror Zones. I'm not a person that "races to 99", or have ever had a 99 level character, but the thing that excites me is new areas/monsters to farm for TC87 items. This makes it more exciting for me to full clear maps, pop all pop-ables, and not just focus on a few areas and target farming champion/unique monsters. 2. I too would like a bit more graphical change when you enter a Terror Zone. I do like the sound effect & the screen shake, but I would love them to lean more into a stylistic change. Within the feedback forum I suggested to lean into the purple they are using and to add more "Terror" 3D elements. For example, what if within the Terror Zone we now have an overgrowth of dark evil vines on the walls, and cracks shining purple light shining through. I too like other suggestions others have mentioned such as the colors of the monsters to maybe a black or something, always night in Terror Zones. Overall I think the general feedback is to make it feel more "Terror" within the world, not just a few icons and sub headers changes. 3. I would like Terror Zones to be an automatic Player 8 area too, no matter how many players are in the game. This will increase the difficulty, making it more challenging, and more of a "Terror Zone" then just a "Zone you should now farm".

[@sebowski3734]

After losing all hope for D4, this feels so surreal. I love it!

[@andrewpavlyuk]

Although Baal is already lvl99 it will also grant you additional exp if this is a Terrorized Zone.

[@zachk.530]

I don't know what kind of team they have working on the D2 and Starcraft remasters, but this is the best best long-term support of a game I have ever seen. All these carefully rolled-out updates and bugfixes, including fixes of long-time twenty year-old bugs no one even expected to be fixed, is insane. D2 has always been my favorite ARPG of all time, but now no one can argue this game's glorious status and heritage. After watching Blizzard devolve into nothing but WoW support, monetizing SC2 to death, proudly sticking Call of Duty on the launcher's home page, and questionable mobile games and Hearthstone type stuff, I had all but given up hope of these classic games being done justice, but my faith in humanity has been utterly restored and I'm so glad to be alive during this golden age of gaming

[@guillermojperea6355]

It's Vicarious Visions you are to thank.

[@Fingolfin3423]

WoW has become really bad as well, especially over the past four years with BfA and SL. Two horrible expansions.

[@oguzcanoguz5977]

I dont think you know about the Sc2 part, the community begged blizzard for cosmetic monetizations and we got it. It was not monetized to "death". The game is not dead and the monetizations were all entirely cosmetic.

[@zachk.530]

@@oguzcanoguz5977 Except for the two expansions and once they realized their trilogy was over, a bunch of "mission packs"

[@oguzcanoguz5977]

@@zachk.530 Which is single player content that they had not developed yet? The expansions are literally the old business model. You get campaign, multiplayer and custom games with 1 game. With each expansion offering 1 more campaign, multiplayer with new units and custom games with improved assets. Literally was the same way with Sc1 and Warcraft 3. As for the mission packs, they are cheaper than a new expansion and are just another campaign. I dont know what your issue with them is.

[@ClickTheWick]

Please give us stacking runes and/or gems. Gems are just a plus at that point, just give us the runes and we're all happy.

[@aalleezzzz]

Yeah, they made gold stacking but what’s become the currency instead is not stacking, if they knew how runes were going to be used in the future they would have made them stack in the first place

[@bobnewkirk7003]

This is my biggest disappointment with this patch. Right now I have 2 mules on NL and on S1 ladder to hold all my runes/gems/keys and I'll need 2 more each season. A currency tab goes a long way to help the 20 character limit...

[@TheAxelFII]

One aspect about this game is that you have to decide what to keep and what not. Nobody would even skip a tal rune if you could just stack 100 of them onto each other. It's sort of annoying at times to not have this quality of life change, but then again, I think it's a small part of why d2 has a dedicated playerbase since more than 2 decades (just like the grind for hrs or the grind for lvl 93+)

[@tronimrich]

The viability of not performance skyrockets with stackable items. Not happening At least this way bore have to be spread across accounts. I’m sure this is part of the consideration

[@Setixir]

@@TheAxelFII This logic is just...it doesn't fly. People just make mule accounts. That is always how it's been. D2 has a lot of great aspects, it really does, but some of the have aged terribly. The way runes and gems work is a big one.

[@DD-vi3nu]

I hope they'll consider increasing monster density in terror zones specifically. This change is amazing 🎉. Tomb runs are going to be awesome

[@jopied_]

Yeah I am really happy about the tombs.

[@re-dacted.]

YESSSSS

[@bobnewkirk7003]

I watched the first 2 hours in the Jail and the Palace and the density was so bad I'm not sure it was worth running... hopefully they actually make it like an invasion, or as many as half of these locations aren't going to be farmed.

[@johnrehak]

I second this. Density should be increased.

All sounds great. Missing a few big main things tho from this patch. Please increase stash inventory space, max character limit from 20 to 40, add loot filter, and make certain items stackable. Thank you BLIZZARD!

[@SkeltherBot]

Maybe they should add unlockable stash spaces? After killing xxx mobs, Baal, Diablo or whatever. It will be kinda fun :)

[@Sandraptor7]

Tf you need 40 chars for?

[@ScarredCitizen]

People have a way stashing absolute trash and then saying they need more space. I can understand a rune page, gems, maybe keys, stacking would be nice. Everything else idk, use it or get rid of it.

[@gvs2228]

I love this idea, needed more challenge and this is a unique way of implementing it

[@daniel.pendzich]

I was just toying around with this and it looks like as soon as you kill every monster in the zone it automatically switches to a different zone to terrorize, so you can bounce around to different areas in the same game.

[@Fadexpl]

Thats great! Cant wait for the patch

[@z0ttel89]

Not to take the wind out of your sails, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. It changes every full hour for everyone, so there's basically a fixed timer running in the background for everyone.

[@jackel1994]

I don't believe this is how it works. Its 1 hour for everyone at the same time. It only switches after 1 hour.

[@daniel.pendzich]

@@jackel1994 Oh damn, it must have just been a coincidence that I cleared lower kurast at the same time the zones were switching :( .. so that must mean that every game you make will have the same terror zone if it's within the same hour?

[@lukeknopp4267]

Remember that the MAXIMUM is 99, but if you make the game with a lvl 65 character, the monsters will still only get plus 5 levels, right? wouldn't you need to be at least lvl 94 to spawn any lvl 99 mobs?

[@TheConvectuoso]

They will be plus 5 levels above yours or their original, so if you’re 65 and they’re usually 85 it would be 90

Level 99 cows?! WE BACK ON THAT COW FARM BABY, JUST LIKE THE GOOD LORD INTENDED This is actually going to make the other 99% of the game playable and useful. Huge improvement to the game. Almost a minor in-game event if cows, tower, trav, chaos sanct etc or other high density zones are triggered. I wonder if this means the countess would be far more likely to drop higher runes at level 90+.

[@Rievax17]

On the countess but, probably not because her rune drops are specifically pulled from an set of drops independent of monster level. I guess the normal 99 super unique drops would go up but it wouldn’t be any better than farming other 99s

[@Joey71420]

Item lvl don't matter for rune drops

[@TheMilkYourDadWentToBuy]

@TABARNACUL countess rune drop table is independent of her mlvl. Hell countess rune drop only goes up to a gul, but countess herself (the monster kill) can give a Lo in hell. this would push her personal drop rate up to Zod but the guaranteed rune drop that makes countess good would still just be gul max. She would have the same zod drop rate as any other super unique with the level to drop a zod.

[@bobguy6542]

Only the uniques would be 99, and only if you're level 94.

[@irrelevanthero7410]

This is really exciting. Not only does it add a bit of variation to end game play it also adds a little bit of extra challenge as you're climbing the 99 ladder. Does this also mean all the monsters in the terrorized zones post lvl 85 will now have the ability to drop high end uniques and sets? I've heard some skepticism but I'm genuinely excited for this!

[@wildwest1832]

I like the idea. Tons and tons of time at end game farming now at least gives us options of other areas in the game instead. Sounds good to me. I kind of wonder if the meta will turn into ignoring areas with low density and just high density areas, but still. Just for fun it offers variety.
