D2R draws closer to this world! ...but what features will specifically affect your single player experience?
With a pricetag of 39.99, D2R will be significantly more expensive than most remasters to date. Yet for all the years of entertainment this game has provided, I think many players may accept this investment. From what I can gather though, the 'feedback' which the developers attend to comes from sources not directly linked to the un-modded single-player experience - i.e. streamers, youtube and bnet forums.
The diabloii.net forum and its new Purediablo incarnation is one of the longest enduring communities still loyal to Diablo 2 in one of its purest forms. While many of us use a mod to enable ladder-only runewords, we are still playing largely the game in a form closest to its original. However I wonder whether the single player community's voice is heard in light of the dominance of the content creator and mod communities in more recent years...Essentially most of the gameplay features announced for D2R are features found in various mods (yet no ladder-only runewords), but are they the features most important to this single player community?
