Diablo 2 thread - Page 44

As part of a group media interview (via Windows Central), Vicarious Visions studio design director Rob Gallerani and project lead Michael Bukowski discussed the creation of Diablo II: Resurrected and also touched on what the future might hold. Gallerani said the team is focused on getting the core game right first, but that there are plenty of ideas for what could come next.

"We wanted to build a really strong foundation before we started talking about the third and fourth floors on this building," Gallerani said. "If we misstepped on what the core game was, anything else we were doing would have been kind of meaningless. [...]We definitely have lots of ideas, but right now we're waiting to make sure that we get the core game right. [...] We'll have to see once the game goes live what we do about new runewords, new items, rebalancing, things like that."

Some changes will already be live when Diablo II: Resurrected launches, such as the inclusion of previously ladder-only runewords and items being made available for all players and the fact that it will be playable on consoles. The game also won't have the original's TCP/IP support, which was removed out of security concerns.

what does it mean by "preloading" the game?

and with all the shit thats going down with blizzard and the development of d4 probably being delayed or at worst just discontinued, perhaps its actually part of blizzards plan to make d2r the new d4. honestly it wouldnt be such a bad idea; the game is already being developed by a separate entity that is loosely connected to blizzard, d2r is basically already what most fans wanted out of d3 and d4, and new content would entice even more purchases that could make the venture financially viable.
if we get a complete act 4, some more end game content and few tweaks for underused skills/items etc. then im 200% down for that. im a pvm player only so i could care less about pvp balance
