David Brevik [ Creator of D1 and D2 ] on ARPG’s and What Cheapens the Experience

I still haven't seen any concrete evidence about them changing the endgame in any significant way, the transition will be smoother, yes, but it will still feel like PoE1. We went from what I considered apex gameplay (slow & methodical) back to MTX vomit & clearing 5 screens with 1 ability. Since the devs literally worshiped Diablo 2 so much and wanted to create something very different from PoE1 - they should consider Brevik's words.

D2 in current day is basically kept alive by speed running and pvp.

weird, how come all the zoomers enjoy old games to the extent they making remaster after remaster?

Remasters with lots of QoL (FFVII, Resident Evil) and modernised gameplay, you mean? It's a bit disingenuous to claim that that they enjoy the exact same old games.

wiping 5 screens is cool and fun staff. Is it bad? Really? Why? Any reason why? Becouse you want dark souls?
Ok. Create warrior and you got it.
End game speed in poe 2 (I mean core gameplay) is good.

That would be a great point if endgame wasn't littered with garbage time limits in every mechanic.
