Announcement Patch #13: QoL Improvements, Charm Inventory, Server Selection and More

Great changes but the inventory should be the same like before or like lightning fury said you will lose identity bring back the old inventory please <3

 

If you can make bag for runes or make them stackable will be great my personal opinion i like most of the new changes except inventory part

 

Overall i pretty much like the new features except the charm-inventory thing. (Don't really care much about the character item layout but i can agree it bugs me in strange manner)
While i like the idea of the basic D2 layout + free inventory space it is like many ideas - impractical romance. Why ?
I absolutely agree with some of the comments i saw on this topic. In the first place this additional charm usage gave a pretty neat edge and experience in the game. Especially in PVM.
Taking it away surely is a big cringe due to the nihilation of the old feature with which all of us got used to and personally for me that was one of the things that i liked the most from all. (that's how i felt and at first was even emotionally pissed about it. Glad to see you are reasonable people to hear the feedback. Cheers about that!)
Although i understand the reason for this i cannot agree that there should be restrictions of the personal choice use of a players inventory. Why?
Because if a player needs more item space he can choose how to adapt to that no matter the charm use. (And that's one of the thing we as humans like - the freedom of choice) And while its often that we can overdue it unconsciously a need is a need and it can never be skipped.
I can also agree that certain interesting builds would be way harder even impossible to achieve with the basic charm set up. (it is what gave many possibilities for different and new things)
So if i have to sum up my personal views on this. It would be the following:
The idea of additional inventory space is pretty cool but not for the price of an already cool and neat feature which makes the game rich and fun. I would search for a some sort of medium between this and the old one. Which in my head is:
1.leaving the old inventory space for usage of charms or maybe about 80-90% of it and the additional inventory space.
2.Leaving 100% of the old inventory usage of charm + the additional (non usable of charms) inventory space.
In both cases the player keeps the nice old features and still gets the freedom of using his inventory pretty much by his own choice and preferences. ( Maybe try a vertical split of the two zones not a horizontal one ? )

* And maybe here the place i can trow a quick idea for the gem bags: No matter the gem color and quantity being put in the bag at once. And somehow taking more than 1 gem at a time from it. *

Thank you for the opportunity of letting us players speak our thoughts and ideas. I hope you get to a satisfying decision for all of us. Cheers!

 

I really like the new inventory. It is great that we have a lot of additional space even if we can not use there charms.

 

Update the rune break / join penalty-free up to zod is a more simple and clean solution. Rune bag is something does not make too much sense. There is an another game realm with that feature (I am sure you know, which one) - and that is terrible.

 

Im okay with the inventory dont get me wrong but the server is too fast for a vanila invetory and peoples will get their "dream charms" faster than the ussual and that will affect the server population thats my opinion for a vanilla invetory drop rates on charms runes uniques etc. should be way more less than x10 otherwise after 2-3 months lots of peoples will have all they want for their characters and will stop playing :/ but congrats for your hardwork appreciate it !

 

Skillers are the whole point. 6x10 can support +23 skills (19 skiller + anni + torch), 4x10 can support +13 skills, 5x10 can support +14 skills (you can put torch and anni into the upper 2 lines). Don't get me wrong, +life +resi +fhr +frw are all nice in the upper lines, but that is not the real deal. Defensive charms are only needed if the character cannot do enough damage because of a brutal nerf of -10 skills. The gaming experience never will be the same.

At least, can you real-time change those lines for being activated for charms or not? Let say a player relogs into a next game in a baal run, and only for that one player on the realm, all 8 lines are getting activated for charms what was not activated 10 seconds before. Is it possible to change it that dynamically? Is it possible to sell that in the game shop as a service? If both answers are yes, then changes do make sense. The system of pay to win does make sense. Otherwise, it is a simple nerf.

 

Oh, I already tested things enough. Math tells me the truth. Ofc, this nerf won't strike my dreams dead. But neither will I like it.

How does that feel? You know, some players hoped for extras. Instead, they get this nerf. Feels like a betrayal. That is how that feels.

 

Bro you really want even easier pvm? what are you smoking, the farming couldn't be less of a challenge. At least now you can pick up items from the ground cause you don't have full inventory for bonuses.

 

Thanks for the patch.
So i really like the uber keys feature, but is it possible to make perfect gems stack like that without using the bags?

 

Hello guys, overall great new features - expecialy the Keys bags, Jerhyn placed and Nihlathak's Temple portal... Congrats for your hard work and good ideas!

But guys, please turn back the character items layout - the new one is... sorry but... very bad Acctualy, I prefer the old way with the good looking character items layout... and in my opinion this new character items layout is maybe the worst thing since I play here.

However, this is my opinion... and thanks for the opportunity to share it!

 

Yeah, it is ugly as hell

 

u are not beautiful eithr man wtf is matter u have belt in mid or right i thinked kids dont play this game and u speak to make it more easy

 

@Gix, I have read all the changes and I understand very well the whole idea about the "additional two rows, graphics... etc.". Personaly, please belive me I will not "get used to the new layout as well in no time". I have played in other D2 servers with this looking "character items layout" and it is mess and definitely not looking good

 

I have a shell script with the following single command "wine EuropeBattle.exe -skiptobnet -ns $1" ($1 allowed me to add -w when I wanted to multibox)
I have tried it manually with just "wine EuropeBattle.exe -ns"

I did not notice anything different in how the game launched. (I already have dotnet installed for wine)
