[게임플] As the success of ‘Diablo 2: Resurrection’ continues, opinions on future improvements are divided.
It was evaluated that it had successfully restored the action RPG masterpiece Diablo 2, and the number of users who were newly fascinated by the original game characteristics increased. It proves that the reputation of the original, which swept the domestic game market at the time of its release, was not in vain.
However, due to the nature of the game 21 years ago, it was inevitably inferior in terms of convenience compared to the latest games. Although there were improvements in important areas such as warehouses through Resurrection, a request for convenience improvement as much as possible without being affected by the game was also raised.
The development team has stated that they will keep the original content and system as they are, but collect user opinions for post-support updates. As such, there is a lot of discussion about what should be patched in the future, and balance-related analysis is actively taking place.
The part that needs the most improvement is the size of the character bag (inventory). Compared to later hack and slash games, the items that can be carried in Diablo 2 are very limited.
Diablo 2: Resurrection’s bag size is 40 squares (10×4), and after obtaining Horadric’s chest (cube), 8 more spaces are available. The problem is that there are too many items that need to occupy the bag space. In addition to potions, all small items such as runes and jewels occupy one space.
Sometimes just picking up two pieces of equipment fills the bag, but if you have a lot of items to take at once, you have to repeat unnecessary round trips to the village or play ‘Tetris’ to match the shape of the equipment. By the current standards, the result is that the progress is slowed outside the game.
Among them, the talisman (charm) is a hot potato. If you put it in a cube, it will not work, so you have to put it in a bag and go around. The large amulet occupies 4 spaces in the bag, so it is like a ‘Gyereuk’ for users who want fast and strong farming.
Naturally, voices asking to make a special bag for the amulet came from the alpha test. You want a bag in which you can only put amulets, and even if you put them in there, you get an effect. Instead, it has been argued that if you balance the bag in such a way that the amulet effect disappears, you will have more room to manage the bag.
Opinions are divided among users, but the voices of the pros are heard loudly. The reason is that the probability that the game will be out of balance is low by allowing only a certain amount of the talisman bag. The opposing party is of the view that it is not necessary because the strength of the farming difficulty design is sophisticated. It seems to be a problem that the development team should rationally decide through internal data analysis.
However, there is a high possibility that there will be no side effects even if you apply directly to overlap potions or gems. There are no major problems with balance and difficulty, and it only becomes more comfortable in the line that relieves you of the trouble of having to go to and from the village frequently. Even now, using the town portal is annoying, but it doesn’t cost a lot of resources, so there doesn’t seem to be any concern that it will spoil the fun.
Blizzard has been monitoring user opinion by continuously conducting surveys since its launch. In addition to the ladder season and balance patches, various convenience improvements are expected to come and go. Diablo 2: Resurrection, which succeeded in creating a hot topic, is growing in hopes that it will also provide sensible follow-up support.
