Valks 2,375 Report post Posted December 13, 2019 The game was very different on launch from what it is today - the initial release had no adventure mode, no crusader/necromancer, no rifts, no bounties, etc. On top of this, in terms of D2, players felt that the "horror" aspects of the game had disappeared and it no longer had that scary feel to it, whether because of the visuals, the music, whatever. People thought itemization etc. was dumbed down, that the game itself was just too simple, and yeah. Personally, I like the current iteration of it, and really enjoy Diablo 3 with all the improvements they have made since launch, but upon launch, it was a pretty meh game.

So you'd have gold to buy a Yellow item (which were better than legendaries for some reason) off the AH. Edited July 11, 2020 by okwald1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhimsicalPuck 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2020 The Real Money Auction House warped the balance of the game. Drop rates were low and items were weak. They balanced the game to make it intentionally grindy to make people spend money to get better gear so they could make progress. Bots and gold sellers dominated the chat because you could trade anything anytime. Rares (yellows) were more powerful than legendaries because they had more properties. This made legendaries basically pointless. There was no real endgame (adventure mode, bounties, rifts, challenge rifts, all of that came later). I'm a huge Diablo fan, I played D2 for years. I stopped playing D3 after a few months and only came back to the game a few weeks ago. It's worlds better now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
