A lot of people miss the D2, not because D2 is really excellent than the
D3. But play D2 when we are young, we are not nostalgic Diablo (Diablo 2 battle net still open, Blizzard did not hinder anyone to play Diablo 2), but in remembrance young. As when we have been to the middle-aged, with a wife and kids eating delicious cuisine at upscale restaurants, inexplicable miss school finally and dorm buddies syndicates to off-campus food stalls on the dinner.
Used to chat with an old player, saying that the vulgar but not without reason: "when playing D2 touch girls body excited to death now D3 out hey, and two sister Flying also lacks feeling only feel tired. "
Psychology tells us that when we miss the old days, often consciously or unconsciously filter out those unpleasant memories, infinite zoom while those pleasant memories, eventually freeze into a perfect past.
Pressure many violent black with D2 D3 when to take their equipment system, which is normal, because the screen, the story, sound, skill system, blood system, combat system, D3 thoroughly overwhelmed D2, which are seen to get to play, so desperation can only take things hidden in the level of background data and equipment systems.
Addition to the violent black, did a lot of Diablo 2 old players that Diablo II equipment system
Diablo 3, I will not speak of this idea, how much is in your own mind alone that Diablo 2 qualified transactions system, it is enough to make the equipment systems greatly reduced.
I and a lot of players are playing from piracy, and later on the forum found the disdain many veteran said, you never went to battle net, it is not played Diablo 2, I was not convinced, thinking TMD a single game on battle net only, so what's the difference? Also flying the fragmentation? Later on battle net, I did not know, really different, but also a qualitative difference.
The reason is simple, meaningless Diablo equipment systems in the normal single game, theoretically, a player through the normal way play standalone Diablo 2 may be a few years are not playing a set of green containers, not to mention those explosive The low as unthinkable Need.
Original Diablo 2 famous theme website the Dark altar, has been concluded Diablo II off the lowest rate of twenty artifact, its drop rate if a person play a single game, play time in a decade as the basic unit. Wow, the swap rate is so low, should these artifacts are not something? The Relentless fact tell you that the vast majority of these artifacts are collectibles! Is used for collection of no practical value! Think about it, it is estimated that the saliva of the players have long Blizzard flooded D2 set of primitive equipment systems get D3.
Consider this aspect, you will find that Diablo 2 that huge underground trading, the prosperity of third parties are bound to exist, which is determined by the nature of its equipment systems, Diablo type equipment system must also only in drop in a very large group of players, and this group of players must be under the premise of mutual transactions convenient, only reflects the significance of, otherwise, no matter how good equipment database design for further improvement, it can only throw mei eyes to the blind man looked.
This is why the original
Diablo 3 development, there are many dark old players repeatedly ask Blizzard how to solve D2 reduced to a collection of green suit with no practical significance, Blizzard very confident answer, AH solve.
From this point of view, you will understand why Blizzard insisted Diablo 3 battle net online, not only for anti-piracy, but more importantly, single core essence of the Diablo games "equipment system" does not make sense!
Diablo 2 battle net to meet the first condition: a very large group of players. But did not satisfy the second condition!
Therefore, the emergence of
Diablo 3 auction house, is not so much the Blizzard Diablo innovation rather Diablo games development Scream! Diablo class equipment systems necessary! Do not listen to what the auction house will shorten the life and playability like Diablo 3 nonsense, the fact that Diablo 3 is not built-in to the auction house, players will Diablo 2, own to find the exit, the transaction will still , but from tomorrow darken become even more inconvenient, more dangerous, more carefully.
Second, the analysis from the numerical point of view, far less Diablo 3 Diablo 2 equipment system design mature, but the era is different, now, in Diablo 3 you can easily see the logistics in Asia or the Americas, Blizzard and equipment systems all the data at a glance on the front of your eyes, and carefully set your extremely convenient query system, so you can very easily be retrieved, contrast, analyze. While Diablo II era? All hidden in the gloom, while dim is mysterious, because you can not see, can not see through, not read, so you will worship.
