If we were betting, we'd say that the idea in Diablo 2 Resurrected is that, when the game is finally released those in the community who were angry and rightly so about Diablo 2 Resurrected can relax and D2R Items be thinking "oh sure, it's Diablo."
Although there are some cosmetic microtransactions, and the forced online connection seems like it's destined to receive some criticism, the juxtaposition between the loot box-obsessed, incredibly negative mobile game, we're hoping this could be a refreshing breath of air. Many of the players who were excited about Immortal found themselves hooked because it contained just enough of the distinctive Diablo flavor that differentiates the series from its peers, so a game full of it will surely succeed.
There was a period within the gaming industry when anything that Blizzard made available slowed down traffic. The weeks would be snatched off of work and the industry overall would slow down in time to marvel at what the Blizzard team had put together.
However, that's not so common any more, and a good portion of that prime Blizzard team has left in the business for good reasons, Diablo is a franchise that is significant. In all its legendary history as a series, this is the only fourth mainline release. Diablo 2 Resurrected can be a game that can make the entire industry look up and pay attention to Blizzard again, this time for the right reasons.
While some may reel at the concept of Diablo 2 Resurrected followers, like their or dislike them they have become a staple part of the action game's combat. I inquired with Blizzard what plans it has for aids in Diablo 2 Resurrected, and while they didn't divulge too much yet, it appears that followers will join with the group at some point.Speaking to lead class designer Adam Z. Jackson in the wake following the Diablo 2 Resurrected gameplay preview, I asked if the system for followers would be similar to Diablo 2 or Diablo 3 If there were any even a possibility.
For those unaware, in Diablo 2 you would hire followers to descend upon those gates with you. However, when they were killed you had to bring them back with cold, hard cash. There was a new follower in every zone, which means they were superior to other followers.
The idea was further developed into Diablo 3, where instead hiring mercenaries, players got three different companions throughout the story campaign. The Scoundrel, Sorceress and Templar who represented different aspects of DPS tank, ranged DPS, and magic player respectively.In the course of my Diablo 2 Resurrected adventure I only encountered helpful NPCs that hung around for a dungeon or two and then departed to the sunset. When I inquired of Jackson how the game's follower function will work it was explained that "for the launch Version of Diablo 2 Resurrected, we do have places in the story in particular where you will have certain named NPCs following you and helping you out as you figure out the what D2R Ladder Items buy Lilith is doing in the world.
