But people liked the specific Class Set Dungeons, with their high level of challenges based around specific set bonuses. Speaking of new gameplay modes, why not plunder Diablo 3 for every good idea it has? No, not the Real Money Auction House, nobody liked that. It would require design, and it wouldn’t be trivial, but it’s not the same thing as introducing a whole new gameplay mode, for example.ĭiablo 2 changes I’d like but don’t expect Add the best of Diablo 3 to Diablo 2 Similarly, putting in a few new mobs here or there, a couple of new semi-boss fights, isn’t something that would require extensive retooling.

Maybe a toggle that restarts the Act once you finished it so you don’t have to keep starting a new game? Just a nice convenience change, something akin to the shared stash D2R already has. An easier way to replay ActsĪ means to more easily replay and farm Acts in Diablo 2 would also be really nice. Not that it would be an easy addition, just that it doesn’t involve anything the game doesn’t already have. The D2R team could maintain and expand the gameplay loop that’s already in place, come up with something equivalent to Ancient and Primal Ancient Legendaries and set pieces, and there would be a whole new tier of content to play. But it’s not hard to imagine Blizzard adding something like this because we’ve seen them do it with Diablo 3 and Torment levels. A new difficulty level or two isn’t very hard to imagine and would simply mean making the game more challenging - it would probably have to be balanced by new, even more powerful gear, runewords, demonic skulls to socket, etc etc. Let’s go through them by their order of likelihood.ĭiablo 2 changes I could almost see happening More difficulty levelsįirst off, we could see more of stuff that’s already there. Some of my ideas for updating Diablo 2: Resurrected are potentially feasible. So I figure, why not? Why not just speculate on what we might get for Diablo 2: Resurrected? And so, this post was born. But what I do have is a head crammed full of completely probably unreasonable ideas for the game and what I’d like to see for it. I mean, I don’t have their houses bugged, what do you want from me? I’m just one man.

Now, clearly, I don’t know what their ideas are. Furthermore, the devs on Diablo 2: Resurrected have outright admitted they have ideas for new content for the game, so we could see changes coming to Diablo 2 in the future. And WoW Classic has also shown us that entirely new content can be introduced into an aged game, such as the Chronoboon Displacer, to help keep the game fun to play without breaking what it was. If the introduction of Seasons of Mastery to WoW Classic teaches me anything, it’s that you can absolutely introduce concepts from newer games into older ones, since the Seasons concept is basically life from Diablo 3 Seasons.
