Let's Talk PD2 - Season 10 And Beyond Edition! Feedback/Improvement Ideas/Suggestions 

You are a real asset to the community. Thanks

Every dev would love to have someone providing this kind of in-depth testing and feedback to their product . Impressive stuff man

100% agree on the Jah/Lo discussion. Sorc Orb runeword could be an interesting midgame option. I think also a helm with Strafe oskill or a Shield that uses Jah and possibly Lo as well would be a good way to boost it further.

These are really good suggestions. I would reiterate the idea that the Mercenary aura be displayed on the Mercenary character sheet. I don't know how all the auras look like, so I literally have to go and google it to see which merc has which aura

Also: add a feature on the site so that every account can have 3 items they put up as "in search of" and the site tells another user that has said item in his stash that somebody is looking for that item. probably most useful for stuff that isn't obviously valuable.

An item that could corrupt LOD zones would be cool. So you could "map" but in the base game. I know there are corrupted zones already but density sucks in them still. A boss drop that corrupts the whole world and ups density would be awesome IMO cause i get tired of mapping pretty quickly. Just a thought

I'm still having tons of fun with season 9 and i will play till the end of the season then will have this to look forward to for next season :)

What a great video. Thanks for all of the effort that has gone into making PD2 such a great place to experience D2. Love to see big changes to the Paladin defensive aura tree

I think they should increase keys drop rates. Farming keys is so tedious, key farmers should be rewarded for their effort. At start of season 9 I literally had over 80 countess runs IN A ROW with 0 key drop. That's the opposite of fun.

If there is one single thing I could choose for S10, it would be the SSF ladders. There are many options and solutions to affiliate engagement and players interaction.

For improving on Mind Blast I was thinking since there is always a chance for the Shadow Warrior to cast Mind Blast, why not just make it cast more consistent? It should subtly improve the out put of damage and and make your summon more useful. OR maybe just have a runeword or unique have additional Shadow Warriors. Summon Assassin? lol

the best thing for S10 would be the appearance of random Izual-tier demibosses at random. game needs more challenge. 1mo in you can get a stash full of skillers for like Mals. I know about dungeons, maybe those could be made more accessible. also I worry about 4mo seasons- I think it's over too soon while being too much of a time investment. one mo ting- make it easier to group up- what if we had games that were 8 player- but with 1 slot for each class. you could queue up- n then wait for a full team like in other games that you wait for a full team for. that would be cool- n u get full class synergy. maybe you cpuld tick a box- that it is a dungeon game- n then it holds the game until 1 of each class is full or u have option to go with 5 or 6... either way, I think more game options wpuld be cool. like u could make games for Assassins only or something. or just totally curate what classes r allowed. u know what Im saying.

Loooove the idea for the BossItemShard-Thing

Poison Nova needs a buff. Death's web is far to weak considering it's one of the most rarest items in the game. The build also needs a buff for early and mid-tier which is often overlooked. I suggest to buff the synergies with a few % and to add 5% more poison damage to the trang gloves or to the negative res from the trang set bonus.

amazing stuff as always

i feel like 1h palas has been completely neglected for several seasons now. Would really like to see a comeback of the 1h zealer from season 2.

Thank you sir. I disagree about souls in LoD content for two reasons: 1. I like the challenge -- skills, items and drop rates are buffed incommensurately to LoD content, meaning you very quickly roll over everything. Souls are one of the last bastion of thrill in LoD; 2. Unbeknownst to most players, Blackhorn's Face -mostly- neutralizes souls with +5% max light res and 10-20 light absorb. Add a little flat mdr from other pieces of gear and you take ~0 dmg from WSK/Throne souls that don't have conviction. I know because I run Izual and Baal very early every ladder without difficulty on HC, at a cost of just 1-3wss for the Blackhorn.

i am soooo glad you did the warlord of boss drop buff suggestion. idk if you took that from my feedback in the discord channel or who you got it from but regardless yess 10000000% agree that guy is way too tough, that map is way to long and annoying and difficult to run for the current rewards from it. Not to mention the map frequently drops with a very low MF% mod for some reason, at least it has had under 30mf on the mod every time I've gotten it, which seems like intentional trolling from the devs against builds that use no MF and require the normal 70ish-155% mf mod that should be spawning on a t3 map like warlord map, and since you cannot reroll unique maps thats a massive bummer.

It would be nice to have a potion auto pickup functionality like the gold pickup one. It's kinda tedious to pick potions to fill up belt slots

We need to get rid of the "Blood Mana" curse from the succubi. Makes more map possibilites for sorcs and also the map corruptions / even WSK farming...

Trade only shared stash, items go out on/off market website when close game. Auto Tetris in cube, inventory and maybe stash

Great suggestions

how could you talk 2 hours for a text i read and understood in 7 min? all i all good suggestions.

Restore pet leash distance. i feel like the merc and summons spend more time running back and forth.

They should revert Death sentry values to season 2 as these days wouldn't be the most OP build anymore with so much more viable and powercreepd builds since the early days

i stopped playing week 4, played almost every 5 , 4-8 hours a day and mapped the shit out of it and the drops were a joke… i never had this bad luck. i would do 20 maps every day and get almost nothing. all season i got 8 UMS and 3 ISTs after 100 maps plus i did even more LOD content I would do Pits, Cows, Arcane, Trav, act 5 3 mini boxes and i would do 50 of those, than i would do them every day , the other days i would do 20-30 maps and still such crap items. I did build 3 good characters but it was all off WSS’s… selling items for 1-3 maybe 5 wss once in a while… such a long drag and so much trading to get currency to build characters. Just felt like such a drag this season, I played all 9 and this season was by far least fun. Due to no high runes and items, corrupt % was 75% for me , not 25%.. i think there was a bug because my whole inventory was stacked with 5-6 of the same items and the not so good ones .. kept getting same items to the point of ???… and again how no drops after sooo much time. Hopefully next season won’t be the same for me as an experience but u guys put in the work so respect

innocence probably just needs a flat heavy nerf sadly. and I saw that as someone who mained poison strike with it.

Maybe I'm misreading, but you mention restoring Amp Damage to Exile, it never had that curse, it was Life Tap?

As far as suggestions goes i'd kinda like to see an energy shield runeword. Could be on a helmet, armor, but hopefully not a shield to give you the choice. As for it's strength, i'd say it could go many ways, even a low level ES requires very little damage to mana affixes to turn it into a free damage reduction buff. But a higher level one isn't so easy to work with. I loved the ES spear, it just kind of sucks for dps, tried amazon, wolf, etc, very tanky but your damage is a joke even with high energy. I kind of wish you could choose your absorption and to mana ratio without needing two different skills though. I'd like to see exile's defiance level raised significantly to completely negate the defiance nerf, it's an extremely expensive item with decrepify that breaks your ability to curse in the first place, don't nerf it more than needed o_o Berserk needs to work with both dual wield or two handed. I'd like to see wolfhowl add 20% melee range to compensate for not using fury. I wish the sin's zeal kick (dragon talon i think?) would stop kicking when there are no enemies. I wish holy sword would allow polearms and scythes , paladins have good weapon speed for these but i can't make those builds (well i could... But long story)Rename it holy blade or sumfin. I wish beast wouldn't suck. It honestly should be a unique weapon. Hell i'd make a two handed and one handed version, 5-6 sockets. Just so you could maul things instead of having to use normal attacks. Make it level 1 skills if you have to. 40 weapon ias is absolute crap lol. It needs more modularity. Even 3-4 sockets would open up builds. I'd rework the entire immunes/resists thing. No more immunes. Just extremely high resists (say uo to 95%) but nerf resist penetration so you can't get much more than say 40-50% with BIS gear for those high in penetration builds. This is honestly the only reason i've not been playing half the builds out there. Immunes is terrible, terrible design, resists is great design. I'd tolerate it in t4, but even there, just bump up the HP and let the high resists do the heavy lifting. Monsters with 170% resists is just lame. Enhanced mobs shouldn't overcap. Ever. And magic needs to actually be hard to resist but even harder to penetrate, dunno what happened there.

We need increased difficulty and improved drops. Act 6 would be nice if possible. New corruption stone (maybe from a new boss) that would work on rune words, which will give a random number of empty sockets and keep the runeword in tact. Imagine a 6os botd, I'd say 50% brick chance, which will break the runeword or keep it in tact and give a random number of open sockets. 50% 1os, 30% 2os, 20% 3os, 10% 4os, 5% 5os, 2.5% 6os.

Things like nerfing Grandfather ed "to make other gear more competitive" - Why?? The weapon isn't op, so... The reason for nerfing is because it is popular, not overpowered and needs a nerf? I don't get it.

Does anyone know when season 10 will be?

Any idea when season 10 releases?

3os tyraels? Np OG enigma? NO!

Stop talking about items sugestions, they really need to put some kind of content or progress caps. This season ended in 3 weeks. Maybe not put free content to do over and over again (it also gets boring) but maybe some end content locks, for example ubers weekly cooldowns even maps cooldowns by tiers like in WoW. But it needs to be progressive if the goal is to raise the active players, because market dies quick and players that dont have the time end up getting a hard time to get currency. That would be my biggest sugestion.

ps: the mods are studs but if they listened to what u said about almost everything especially baal area and souls , barb FI and starting off way too slow, LOD area needs something new, sorry but Dclone and Rathma are parts of the games that people play in the area of 20-30 of them… way too much. We need something for us who can’t play that much, uber ancients also kinda hard now and sorry but rewards kinda suck… There needs to be some end game content where the other 90% of us can indulge in and that would turn the game around and double play time… mapping gets boring too fast… even tho i love it in the first week. I did sooo many maps and got 10% map events.. maybe map events all over LOD content would be cool and fun

the league really needs to put a stop to performance enhancing data, unfair for the players who want a clean game

Bring back lower resist from chaos sanctuary mobs. Like d2r

Unpopular but I want see some nerfs, the power creep is real.

remove teleport entirely

Imagine playing PD2 and not D2r :D ggs
