    Have been waiting forever for auto gold pickup! Thanks!

    Maybe next time can get some of the new items in D2R brought over (rune words, sunder charms...)

    Somehow, I didn't realize they were added, thanks for the followup...

    Are sunder charms hard coded or just not coming here?

    Afaik sunder charms are a new feature to d2r, so are hardcoded and not likely to be ported on to here. The same with terror zones.

    They are indeed hardcoded besides, sunder charms are a lazy way to address immunities really. A much better way is to simply cap immunities but based on all the feedback I've read over the past years this is a core mechanic that's always been part of this game so we will leave it as is for now, especially since farming the right tools to deal with immunities is not hard at all in here.

    We are always aiming to stay truthful to blizzlike content, if we start tweaking every skill and item we are going to find ourselves in an infinite loop situation where we constantly have to change and adjust things to keep everyone happy, which is also impossible to achieve, not to mention this wouldn't be on par with our ladder resets system either. If there will be official changes to the game then we will most likely import them in the Legacy version as well and we will also continue doing some items adjustments from time to time.

    Before you get too excited about in-town BO, it can be casted, but that just it. Your own hero gets affected, but no party members, and no merc.

    Yes.
    But, for fastest grinding runs, it is awesome. Ex.: Nihlathak runs.

    It would be way more awesome if the BO barb could affect the whole party in the starting position.

    exactly this is the exciting part but ameth is probably not doing these and only gets buffed in parties :D if you want to buff whole party you do it at the baal throne anyway @ameth not in town because not everybody is going to wait for precasting
    nice meme image @sirius_A still makes me LOL :ROFLMAO:

    @milenskipln for me widescreen works fine. Launcher says game is updated?

    @Gix my GF barb loves gold pickup, dont know if you hear it enough as you should but thanks to everyone for keeping this game alive
