Before the beta I was really not super convince and now after playing several hours of D2 in the open beta, I am really not at all convinced.
Yes, I am having fun, but there so many little flaw (that quite irks me) that Old D2 had that they didnt really "fixed" and a lot of them are quality of life stuff, also other than visually there nothing more, its just the same game with very little tweak, I dont think I will buy the game.
There many things that could have changed a bit but mechanically it is the same.
Here a small list of my personal quality of life/upgrade they could have easily added
- Stamina, just basically remove it, serve no real purpose other than being dumb
- Scrolls, keys and such should not need to take inventory space, I dont see the need to not just have a town portal similar to how it was in D3, having a tome taking 2 slot doesnt really add anything, same for keys.
- Removing pointless affixes, +1 light radius!
+ belt with more than 4 slots, that just a personal idea, but would have been great idea

anyway, really cute nostalgia trip, but nothing else

I've been playing in both betas and I have to say that I really enjoyed myself. I've run tower runs and tomb runs and sold a bunch of runes and items on d2jsp. Such a good time, but I really hope bots don't come back anytime soon when the game comes out. Anyways I will be buying for sure end of September. Graphics are a huge improvement and make the game feel new to me. There are a couple of bugs in the game that I noticed, for example on the map you can't really see entry points so I really hope they fix that.

The entire point of the remaster was to upgrade the graphics, that's what the ''community'' wanted and that's what blizzard delivered to them.

Collected some good runes last night and made some pretty decent runewords for the beta! :)

The online play is fucked laggy as shit. They need to dramatically improve the net code. But i doubt they will because it is just a remaster and they dont seem to give a shit.
