Yikes....D3 at launch had nothing in common with D2 apart from the name. Besides, the huge numbers in items were already there when D3 launched, they were just harder to see/get because blizzard expected a few farmers to grind for hours and for the common folk to buy them of RMAH from those farmers. When RMAH failed, the whole system had to be rebooted because nobody sane would be getting lego drops or was able to progress without them. What the expansion and huge patch (loot 2.0) did was to up the drop rates so that regular people could actually progress, not to up the numbers on items only.

That has nothing to do with D2. You can finish the D2 in a few of hours then do a few andariel or mephisto runs in normal and get really solid items straight away, you dont need to be in hell for that or to grind a lot. Obviously very rare items require you to up the difficulty because their level is tied to area and monster level, but you can still go through hell difficulty without them, they just help if you get them. I have played D2 for the first time as a kid and then only a lot more in the last year or so, after a few years playing a lot of D3, and I've discovered so much dept to D2 when compared with the notion I had from playing as a youngster, that it really made me realise things that i didnt before regarding D3. D3 is fun visually and obviously more modern in comparison, but there is something missing there.

D2 will not work in 2020, people need to understand that.

in fact, a remake of D2 needs to ake huge changes, doubt people in 2020 would accept a game like D2 which came out 20 years ago.

It’s near damn impossible to replicate the item drops and economy of D2. Without any third party influence, it was perfect. Grinding for HRs and having them as the main currency is a system hard to beat (which is clear that’s not the economy they’re aiming for). Path of Diablo helped me realized this.

I’m losing hope fast that D4 won’t be any better than D3.

If D2 is gonna be released in 2020 then im quite dissapointed because it will most likely mean there will be no additional acts, new items or new runewords etc added to the game which would really be ideal for a game that has been hammered out for so long by veteran players which the scene consists entirely of.

Not buying the game if there is no new content.

By the way, it is my belief that Diablo 1 has by far the best music and general sound design out of all the games in the series. Everything there is ominous and gives you a strong sense of dread.

I just want a fun game. I clocked in around 1000 hours in D3 and probably the same in D2. That's not what I'm looking for anymore. The worst thing Blizzard did in D3 was listen to the fans who played D2 for 1000+ hours and wanted that kind of longevity baked in the core design. It resulted in a boring grindfest when D3 vanilla released. They inflated stats to an absurd degree in the expansion. It was needed to act as a soft reset to erase the stain of vanilla progression from the game.

If I end up buying D4 and playing it for hundreds of hours, it would be because it's fun, not because it's required to actually see the fun content. If the game is fun enough, I don't mind revisiting the same content every few months or every few years. Some people visit Disneyland every year or even buy annual passes to visit it multiple times a year. They do it because they enjoy it, not because they are required to have x number of visits before they can actually go to the ride they wanted.
