Predictions on Unique Rarity Tier Changes

98% of the unique drops in Diablo 2 were not ilvl 1-20 vendor trash.

Isenarth set, sigon set, arctic set, iratha set, sander set, felloak, manald heal, Noznak relic and visceraunt are saying:

"Please play Diablo2 before saying completely false statements, thanks"

From what I remember the Sigon set is one of the best twinking sets in the game. The low ilevel unique weapons in D2 were all quite underwhelming but a lot of the armor uniques are great all through Nightmare and some are even good in Hell.

isnt possible to compare that fast with diablo 2; diablo 2 was definitely easy casual access: easy access to hightest areas, easy way to farm with magic find...

and in anyway diablo 2 was destroyed by botting and hacking.
Blizzard wasnt directly "interested" in the d2 economy like ggg seems to be...

FTP games are a business model now, with some unpopular ethics btw: gaming addiction, money games... Diablo 2 wasnt built arround that.

Well said, any fun behind this game is ruined by the unethical f2p garbage model. I wish I had realized that earlier. They could have released this as a modable 1 time purchase game with expansions. Instead they went the greedy route and now the game is beyond re-release or redemption.

I look forward to the changes. They won't really affect me unless they really buff the boss drop rates huge times but I look forward to find a build-enabling unique like Facebreaker in the challenge leagues now.

Why this game changes to cater causals more and more?

Its simple really. 'Casual' players or casual, compared to no-lifers are tons more.
The perfect balance( that elude to Blizzard for example) is to have content for every group of players while its meaningful at the same time. Imo GGG are on that course already. See Atziri, its a no-lifers content basically, while easier 6l and boxes are more casual content.



btw. some english spellchecker will be nice

what about adding a new tier where "legacy" gear drops again with very marginal drop rate ?
A new level of awesomeness, Like "legendary" uniques....

Damn straight, Sigon's Gage is beast. Not going to get anything better than that until you craft some attack speed Blood Gloves.

Entire set's about the equivalent of The Peregrine, which is exactly the kind of thing I'm saying there should be more of.

Not sheriff srs, but a living game that never stops growing is exactly what I want. If they still made Diablo 2 expansions, I'd still be playing Diablo 2.

Milk that cow. Moo.

I don't see why people feel the need to draw an immediate line between low ilevel and 'vendor trash'.

There's a lot more slack on the non-weapon slots. But when you're a physical% scaler, all of your damage is wrapped up and wholly dependent on this one item. Nothing ages quite as badly as a Last Resort, which is usable for about one to two hours. For unique weapons base item type is an enormous deal.

There are a quite a few beast low level things. The Tabula. The Searing Touch. Little ilvl 8 Crest of Perandus is tied for best in slot shield. But those probably don't occupy Common slots. The Stone of Lzzaierher might.

But I get where you're coming from, I can be in Act 2 Merciless excited about finally getting to equip a 330 dps maul, mention it in global and get told "that's trash" by helpful price checkers sharing their appraisal expertise when I didn't ask for it.

When I link



and that gets the "scrub garbage" treatment, absolutely no unique they make is going to have a chance with That Guy. That Guy spends all day on MTG spoiler threads, only approving of cards that break the entire game in half and power creep the hell out of everything.

My own personal butthurt is I'd like to see some high ilvl trash sometimes drop, too. This ~ilvl 30 glass ceiling ;_;

Sigon's set was great. The Gage and the Sabot made for serious awesome twinkage. IAS and movement speed. Yes!

I don't see why people feel the need to draw an immediate line between low ilevel and 'vendor trash'. Just because you have all the toys and several high level characters doesn't mean everyone else does.

It's fine to feel that way but to categorically dismiss low ilevel stuff as vendor trash is pretty much the epitome of elitism.

I just quoted him and made comparison with D2's low level items. I know that low level != trash but you know, it seems that if shavronne isn't dropping then it's automatically crap drop for everyone

I'm actually joyful when i drop a Geofri or wideswing lol

I say "Peregrine", they hear "Shavrone".. the Rock Man was right, they see what they wanna see and hear what they wanna hear...

Man, I'm going into my corner to play with my violin... and math...

because casuals bring more money than all those self proclaimed 100 Hardcore(TM)(R) gamers could possibly bring?

why do you think all these changes happened after official release?
