we have to find freds shoe first
The likely date is is probably early August just to give everyone a heads up, unless like 90%+ of the community requested it earlier, even then it couldn't be sooner than June / July or else the current content was just a waste! I am curious to see the results of this thread though.
Ladder reset "now" and "1 week"
I was like... ... ... Monday ...
3 month is okay imo
Yeah Im still trying new stuff out so early-August is fine with me. I just geared a crow druid and still need to fully gear some of my other characters.
Early August would be nice
wheres the vote for the original ladder reset time? I wanna vote for that one
Nice poll, Yeah that ladder should keep up a bit more!
I'm tempted to vote now, but I take it that a reset will also try to incorporate some kind of fix(es) if not significant changes. So unless there will be changes made in particular regarding potions and drop rates, and I have some idea what the rest of the changes will be, then I won't decide just yet.
Haha, not trying to be mean here but I can go ahead and ensure you the suggestions about increasing rune / organ drop rates are not being considered at all. The drop rates are exactly how they should be! There will of course be changes I have been waiting to implement for the next restart, but they aren't really connected to drop rates at all.
ladder resets only hurt those that purchased gold. imo no real need for a reset when after 30 days the market is back to what it was after the reset
But thats how its allways been on diablo 2, on regular ladder resets it takes a week, and its pretty much back to normal.
But i think it will be more fun now that Lich King has been dropnerfed, and Tyrael's key cant be bought anymore. Rares will make it alot easier then before, could prolly make a rare only team and defeat the game! I still think that dreamland items have to be more rare, i dont like how a cache gives a guaranteed Dreamland item. I wish this gets changed into something else like a random Divine gem + Random Enchant scroll or something. Ive seen it happen that people drop Acid's and Valusia's and some other Dreamland items on the floor, cus they simply get flooded.
If u think about how easy it is to get a Blue organ set, which means a guaranteed DL item once u opened the box, i could easily get 20 DL items a day if keep the caches, and use them at the altar. Make caches valuable, nowadays people dont even care about it anymore, most dont even pick it up!
I am definitely NOT looking forward to farming the Liche King again to get a Plaguebringer now that the he no longer has guaranteed drops. Imagine how strange it will be when a Frostmourne drop is a disappointment. Of course if one of the changes to be made will include adding a +to cold mastery stat to Frostmourne it could be an exciting item again:)
Yea good point Joe. I didn't even pick up the blue chests anymore.
i am new at this server... i see is nice... but.. if the latter will be at 3 month... pff i am afraid.. will be much less players ...
why i say that ( the next message are for kids in special ) well manny of player's who still love d2 + at this server is verry nice how was build all the maps and so on... some of us got work to do.... so 3 month... / ladder is mean the drop must be 150% increase ... the funn in d2 was not the short time.. wich the long time...
think what u want i just say it... my ideea... my opinion...
Agree with blue caches, no need guaranteed dl item.
I'd suggest to lower droprate of uniqs/sets in infernal zones (act 5 portals, ryleh, inf cows, tristram mobs) to how it was in patch 1.12 (when act 5 portals wereintroduced)
I think we should lower all of the drops rates and remove any guaranteed drop rate. We should also remove all of the new stats on items introduced into this mod. While we're at it, why not remove all of the new zones as well. It's just too darn easy to farm them for good gear. Then we could make it so that the only gear that any toon is allowed to use is the gear issued to new players when they create a character. That and Wirt's leg. Then we can all band together in group's of 40+ toons and farm the Den of Evil!!! I like it. :)
ofc i do, so did u play annihilus 1.12?
No I didn't. I started a couple months before the ladder reset. That being said, I really don't think that lowering drop rates is going to have a positive effect on the population of the server.
You see, you all guys are not paying attention. Everyone is talking that after 1 weeks it will be the same.... No it wont!! Clearly you all are not thinking for the grow of the server. There are just no more new players.... just none and if there are some exeptions they dont last for a long time.... You see now (even with the lower drop rate) is really hard to trade some mid items you know why???? cuz there are now new players so they worth a shit....As i said previously in the other threads evetually you will end up playing the same 20 guys who have everything. What i`m trying to tell you is that after the new patch (significant changes in the drop rate) the new players are suffering a huge handicap and sorry but its not fair (and i understand your pain - clearly you dont want the ladder reset cuz you will feel the same... cow armor after 4 runs hahaha please maybe after 100 for one piece) If you want the server to survive and even grow you have to change something and the first one is server reset. I know thats its hard to percieve it but thats what should happend.... and the fast you realize that the better. I just dont see new guys to te server.... NONE! And thats devastating.. i dont know do you really understand that.
Yep i agree, also the situation on the server is like the third world cuntries ..... poor ones and rich ones... now i rememmber 3 months ago i could (and everyone does) trade a zaka easy for a hr... now i cant and noone cant you know why.... no new players.... thats hard to swallow but .... it hurts me too but hey You reap what you sow
p.s i wanna see some statistics of the new players now and then
You guyz say u are poor...
Go farm FFS?
There is so much places to go farm with simple items, i really dont get you.
I am not poor, because i played for several months, it was time consuming to get to where i am, and i clearly wanna test some more things before it resets.
What would be the point for me if it would reset?
I put all those effort to get some stuff, it wouldnt be fair if it resets in less than 2/3 months, was supposed to be october, or thats what was said i believe.
Some veteran here would be late game in no time if it resets, they know how to!!!
How will you feel when they have more than you at that point? will you ask for early reset?
As i said you dont pay attention.... and yes you just said the real reason why you dont want the reset (loosing all the stuff)
Thats just a selfish attitude....as i said you dont think for the server grow... even survival
in caze if will be reset soon then october u will lost minim 7 players xD active.. i will be one of them i join around maxim 3 week's so i was no start from 0 with others
anyway all is depends of you but ... think if u will reset early.. at cosecince :)
i was play alot in those ... 3 week's because i was hear ( even read ) frome your's Admins the reset will be at october
http://annihilus.net/showthread.php?t=8594
imagine... u risk to lost players xD and offcorse possibily donateurs since.. u anounce something and now u start voting early reset ^^ no1 will give me back what i really work .. some day's even 18 h ... for get to what i get now.. i was happy because ... i saw : wow lol until october cool i can play....
thank you for waste ur time to read my .. words
Guys the front page has said we're resetting in August-October on the front page for several months now. August in the planned month, but we gave ourselves some wiggle room just incase something comes up. 10 month seasons is how we've planned on doing it, so don't act like it's some mystery or something we sprung on you if we reset in August. You realize the thread you linked was for last reset, right? :) Which was 10 months, January - October.
Wow even August is still quite far away guys.. Isn't regular d2 servers being reset every 6 months?!
Yeah thats why i think 10 months is perfect for this server
Personally i think new players have a better chance with an earlier reset. Sure you may not get to see much new content for a while but for me most of the things im wearing were given to me by nice players. Having invested less than 2 weeks in this game right now is the perfect time for things to reset so i can get a fresh start with everyone else. Also generally when a reset happens the in-game economy gets a boost since more players are trading amongst each other. This pretty much just applies to me though lol. Selfish ladder resets FTW!
Yeah, I was actually going to make a particular thread talking about drop rates again but at a different angle, e. g., that is that now it doesn't seem worthwhile anymore to farm at certain places or bosses any more. Perhaps I'll do this now since someone else put some of this forward along with yourself. I'll be happy to mention this again if recommended elsewhere, but it seems clear that there's pretty much only 4 places worth farming and one of them in the long run should be condensed (that is from the players perspective not in terms of the number of enemies or the size of the place). The 3 in general are plague lands, cows, and inferno pits. The last one is ryleh/and the cow queen and chests because the drops in the cow kingdom aren't particularly worth it given the effort and time it takes to clear the rest of the cows and considering you can get most of anything else good that drops elsewhere (and also after you've pretty much gotten all the starter set stuff which again, you can get elsewhere). Its even possible to find facets in regular cows (I didn't believe this at first, but sure enough that happened today I think), but I'm not exactly sure how such could be well balanced.
I think mephisto mentioned this already in the thread, but yes, it is also true that farming the dreamland bosses (minus of course the big boss there) isn't really worth much either partly thanks to the drop rates of the bosses themselves but also because its not very hard to stock up on caches from Azathoth (I'm sitting on may 10 to 15 of those right now), although I can't agree that dreamland items that the bosses drop should be made rarer or kept rare (maybe for keys/puzzleboxes and marks of the dragon slayer jewels, but it's pointless to do that for everything else since the rest aren't that spectacular especially thanks to rares being buffed and other items introduced). I'm sure you can guess I think that's silly, but I could perhaps be persuaded that you go a bit easy on caches dropping in the future. I suppose its an either or case or even making Azathoth harder (if you do consider that please move him away from the cow king corpse then so that player can decide which they want to deal with)
Regarding the Lich King, Lordhammer is completely right. His drops are just completely awful now making him almost not worth it which is a shame because the scourgelord belt and death's advance are pretty good in general. I wouldn't mind too much if frostmourne or divine gems were hard to get from him but not the other stuff. Tyrael is the same case but worse since really at this point only the Divinity gauntlets he drops are of any worth (I have yet to see a pair of good rare paladin gloves though it is theoretically possible to find such), but there's a good chance he won't drop that. Truth be told though, you can't really farm for the Key of Justice, so I suppose that's not a good example.
Then I hope you re-consider. I only think such should be tweaked slightly. I made it quite clear (contrary to apparently other peoples perception if not imagination), that I don't expect or ask that a zod to drop any time I do one regular cow runs. That isn't my point now, or before, but getting an ist or mal isn't going to break things.
Also, please let us buy rejuvenation potions (again they don't have to be full ones) in the future.
