Founder of Blizzard North about groundrope and the remaster (Diablo 2)
Pulled out here is a small excerpt from an interview with the founder of the Diablo series, maybe someone will be interested.David Brevik is a developer of computer games and the media is one of the most famous names in the history of Diablo. He is known as one of the three founders of Blizzard North and its President. In many respects, this person is responsible for the creation of Diablo I and Diablo II.
In mid-February, Rhykker interviewed David Brevik, broke into pieces and from time to time and posts them on his channel.
Rhykker: In patch 2.5.0 are (talking about D3) added sverchkova items. The drop chance will be 10% of the drop chance of an ancient item, but will be even better. What do you think about this?
– Well, you know, I think Rand is a delicate matter. For example, I think we're pretty badly balanced some runes in Diablo II. Personally I do not like the approach, when the subject is so rare that it seems you will never get.
In the end, under this system, everyone is frustrated. Lucky players lose interest in the game because he received everything he wanted. Unfortunate – turn away from the game, frustrated by the inability to get what you want. The main way to combat this is controlled by random, when the probability of obtaining object grows feigned time.
Rhykker: there Was a lot of hope that at Blizzcon 2016 will be announced remaster Diablo II. How think, whether there will be someday, and it's a good idea?
– No. Well, the probability of this is – Blizzard has a lot of different directions, but I don't think the remastered Diablo II is one of the priorities of the company.
You can make a remaster with high resolution, but there will arise some problems.
Game assets for Diablo II really ugly. But since we atenderle their 15 pixels, or what was the height of models, and you can't see their ugliness. When the monster strikes, you do not notice that at this point his arm is not even connected with the body. Old assets can be rendered in high resolution, but it would be complete chaos.
Next, we face the problem that should change in the game. I would, for example, removed the stamina used for running. But where is the boundary between not enough big changes and too many changes? Is it necessary to keep throwing the potions? They were part of the game, but no because they are not used. And then I saw how someone went through the game using only the throwing potions. So you need very careful approach to the question of what should be updated?
Need to find old assets, new assets will have to adjust to the old assetm, and so on and so forth. This is an incredibly complex project. To realize such a project is the same that make a new game. So I think that they make a new game.
Personally I do not like the approach, when the subject is so rare that it seems you will never get.
Fly to the throne again erundu what is written is obviously hinting at a freebie, which OFC is not (
pawson, wigs in fact a bug that was not originally foreseen or specially created?

A bug that was not originally foreseen, OFC. But in some places purposefully still supported, for lack of desire or fear to fix it.
FlyDoTrona
a very good reason
without pariko it would be much more fun to play

nagrany better with time the more you play (MF) the larger the drop. not like now, came the novice, almost falana on Hella knocked ber or higher rune, and the life(in D2) was a success. Rand randomized but need the balance for it, and priority

this is how all want it a reward for the work and do not want good luck
bad idea
as for his story about the alleged bad randomness - well, it so happened that his opinion was determining when it was decided all the rules
about the pictures - I think OK cool in D2 and not needed, the game is not about him
excessive detail in some places, perhaps even positively played into my interest in the game to see detailed ugly monsters (but they have to be in the story, it's not about the defects of drawing and about the artistic aspect) and detailed process of killing would be disturbing
but in General - there is a will organized and everything would have turned out

do not need to raise it 100500% but the idea about the drop feigned it would be standards.
1 - there would be interest from players more time to spend in the game doing races
2 - would be online (which is missing now)
3 - beginners would be a prospect to play and mpiti to dislodge the armor
and so to rely on luck and nothing more
