I mean.. there's a HUGE difference between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 when it comes to drop rates. I'm not saying to make it like Diablo 3, but doing 1000 rune runs to not even get anything good wasn't that much fun. Rates should bit a little bit higher.

As long as you can switch back and forth between the art styles like mentioned in the leak, who fucking cares?
I have little doubt that we will also see both the Paladin and Necromancer classes in Diablo 4, but one of them will have to wait for an expansion if they launch with five classes (very likely).
I wanted the Amazon to return because of those great bow skills, but I think the Rogue will adopt most of them. Make Windforce great again!

I'd love that personally, but if WoW classic is any indication the pain of the grind is considered part of the experience.
Maybe they could offer a D2 classic option for those that want the benefits of the remaster with the classic drop rates.
I really like both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, but for different reasons. I play D2 for the challenge and the fact that finally finding the unique you want is a huge event, while with D3 I enjoy constantly getting stronger in my spare time on the Switch. I wish they actually split the series like Dirt and Dirt Rally. Trying to combine the two in D4 and making everyone happy would be a miracle that I don't think Blizzard can pull off anymore.
It may be naive of me, but I don't think they will make the same mistake as Warcraft 3. I am looking forward to the Diablo 2 remake, but I still have the CDs and archives of each patch just in case.

Keep the Rune drops the way they are. We don't need everyone and their dog teleporting around the Ladder with Enigma two days after the season starts, if at all. As long as they can keep the botting and duping under control.
D2's loot rarity works because most of the time specific gear isn't required to make a build work, unlike D3. You can usually get by in D2 with the right affixes. Unless you're trying to solo Smite Ubers, or something.

If this D2 thing turns out to be legit (which I'm kind of skeptical about for a few reasons) then yeah, nothing needs to be touched other than visuals.
Judging by the official schedule, I'd guess tomorrow. Or maybe today? I don't understand timezones.
Yeah, announcements usually happen during the opening ceremony.
There is a Diablo Round Table and Deep Dive tonight though:

Im thinking we'll get a reveal in the first hour.
One big and possibly controversial change I think the game needs is separate loot. The free for all in multiplayer games seems crazy now.
edit- of course this takes us back to changing the loot drop rates with so much more gear coming from a single 8 player game but there was nothing more frustrating than missing out on your item because of clicking a fraction of a second too late.

I don't agree I think that some of the rarer ruins should have slightly higher drop rates.
No - if you're going to remaster it, leave the core gameplay entirely intact. Upgrade the graphics and add some QOL stuff (like controller support), but everything about the game itself (items, drop rates, etc.) needs to be the same.
On a related note, it's pretty much guaranteed that Warcraft: Refunded has been put on ice, as far as patches and development support is concerned? I honestly haven't been keeping track of that game since the whole debacle.
There's a big difference between rare drop rates and what D2 had. Upping the drop rate even just a little would be a welcome change.
The fact that we still give them a platform here is outrageous. The mods need to take a stand and stop sitting on the sidelines.
Like, you know it's not a binary thing right? There's a huge gulf that spans the "no one should ever reasonably expect to see this drop" absurdity of a Zod rune and your run of the mill D3 legendary.
If it's coming to consoles, then the gameplay will already be different from the original? Not sure how they're going do things like binding twelve skills to controller buttons in addition to potions, a run/walk toggle and town portals.
For Diablo 4, sure. Diablo 2 has 2D environments with an excellent art style that works perfectly for the game. Too many remasters get new 3D environments that looks like trash.
Gotta admit I'm quite disappointed in this. I was hoping they'd really go all out with this with completely gorgeous 3d environments :(
They could still tie them to a modifier button (e.g. ZL and/or L) that allows you to cycle quickly through three sets of four skills on the left D-pad. This still leaves us A, B, X, Y, R, ZR, +, -, L3 (click) and R3 (click) for the remaining actions.

Nope but at least D2 remastered will have it. It looks great.
I'm very glad it will have it, because I considered that a pretty big shafting to PC players for D3.
If D2R has controller support also on PC, that's the difference between two purchases or one (on Switch) for me. Really, really hope that makes it to PC.
I wish the console version of Diablo 3 got a re-release on PC as well. I know it's heresy for old schoolers but it's pretty much unplayable given my current PC set-up (I use it on a TV from the couch).

99% sure they said controller support available for D2R on PC. And yeah, I'm with you. Absolutely love controller over m/kb for Diablo 3.
Edit-
This article says yes to PC controller support.

Yeah, drops should be rare. It's no fun when you can have everything in a week. I played D2 for a good couple of years and never once had something like a stone of jordan drop. But I like grinding, so I might be in the minority haha
Well then. Looks like I'll be buying this. Thanks a bunch for the link.99% sure they said controller support available for D2R on PC. And yeah, I'm with you. Absolutely love controller over m/kb for Diablo 3.
