barricadettv: Glad we got a chance to sit down and chat! Great to hear your thoughts and GGs! See ya soon
Tezzinator: Runewords in D2 were great for two reasons (in my opinion): They made white/grey items usable, with good bases being extremely valuable, and they essentially made you a unique, that you could incrementally work towards. Sure, you could probably make a unique item with the same stats and abilities, but having another thing to farm which could be traded or upgraded, was awesome.
djdravax5412: What do you mean Runewords? we don't have Runewords, we have Runes and that's it, they don't function as Runewords in Diablo 4 as putting them together doesn't create a new item with its own name (Rune name) it's just slapping 2 runes together for an effect that works together.
Runewords & Runes are two different things, you can slap 2 random runes on to get the modifier those runes apply but that isn't a "Runeword" so people need to call it what it's in Diablo 4 as they don't seem to know the difference and you can tell they didn't play Diablo 2 for long to learn it. They could as well of just made them Jewels with the same effects rather then bringing an inferior rip off of Runes to Diablo 4.
JtotheDoubleL: Most gamers are solo gamers. This is an undisputed fact. This will blow up in the devs faces.
justinisbell9482: They're not runewords. Runewords made socketable gear valuable. It also made the hunt for runes exciting.
nekrazero8331: 85% of the playerbase doesn't want their fun tied to someone else
Grinspoon666: I’ll play solo. I don’t group and won’t group. Then I’ll move on to another game if the only way to get items is to group up. That’s idiotic to have a wall and make ppl group up.
haylonix: PoE devs call cooldown “lazy game development” It will be interesting to see how PoE2 plays out. In D4 all we are doing is chasing 100% CDR
taks1993: The generator system is total garbage
SeanCaissey5: Putting random runes into 2 slots equipment doesn't make a runeword. D4 is very disappointing as a massive Diablo fan. Diablo 2 for life it is
(Edit: for those wanting to tell me to leave nostalgia in the past, let me remind you that blizzard is adding a half baked version of runewords from a 25 year old game into Diablo 4. These comments couldn't be more ass backwards stupid and I will not acknowledge them)
andrewp979: I feel like the idea that 'd2 rune words are good because a simple mistake or misclick bricks it' is a pretty weak take and I don't think it's something I could ever get behind
kydelastra: Why does everyone sound like they're trying to force a drunk girl into sex when they talk about how solo players should view group content? No means no.
