Even though there's still cosmetic microtransactions and the forced online connection seems like it could see some criticism, the juxtaposition between the loot-box-driven, humorous mobile game is a possibility that could be a breath of fresh air. Many of the players who D2R Items were attracted to Immortal did so due to the fact that it has just enough of the distinctive Diablo sauce to differentiate this series from other games as a result, so a game with lots of it could be a success.
There was a time within the gaming industry when anything that Blizzard announced stopped play. A week would be deducted of work, and the industry in general would halt just in time to be amazed at what they and the Blizzard team had put together.
Although that's not the case much now, and the majority of that elite Blizzard team is no more in the industry for good reason, Diablo is a franchise that has significance. In its entire time as a series this is only the fourth mainline game. Diablo 2 Resurrected can be a game that can make the entire industry slow down and pay attention Blizzard yet again, this time for the right reasons.
While some may be wary of the idea of Diablo 2 Resurrected followers, others may like they or not they have become a standard part of the action game's combat. I inquired with Blizzard what it plans to do for the aides of Diablo 2 Resurrected, and while they didn't divulge too much, it looks like followers will be added to the roster at some point.Speaking to lead creator Adam Z. Jackson in the aftermath of the Diablo 2 Resurrected gameplay preview, I inquired whether the follower system is similar to Diablo 2 or Diablo 3 or Diablo 3 - if it existed at all.
In Diablo 2 you would hire followers to fight Hell's gates alongside you, however when they died, you had to rehire them with cold hard cash. A new follower was introduced in every zone, which means some were far superior than other followers.
This changed in Diablo 3, where instead of employing mercenaries you gained three different companions during the story's campaign. You had the Scoundrel, Sorceress and Templar which represented different aspects of DPS tank, ranged DPS, as well as magic user respectively.In my Diablo 2 Resurrected adventure I only encountered helpful NPCs who stuck around for a few days then rode of into the sunset. When I asked Jackson how the game's follower function would work in the game, they said "for the first versions of the game, we do have a few places within the story that you'll encounter certain named NPCs that will be following you and D2R Ladder Items buy helping in figuring out the what Lilith is up to around the globe.
