Also, they should keep the 3d design almost identical to the old version (its 2d ingame but it was made from 3d, they should get closer from those old models).

Loved MrLlama's reactions, he's a perfect standin for the hardcore fans - good choice there. And to Llama specifically, keep it up, bro!

I am richer and have been richer than 99% of the realms have been for decades, and have only fought at the highest levels of pvp, I have made it to #1 on ladder overall and in Paladin class. I can see obvious differences in game play that will completely be boring in this iteration of D2 from the run speeds, projectile speeds and objects interactions, it's nothing like D2's, D2 was much faster, and the attacks were crisp and directionally oriented towards the object it's attacking, it's a generic all in one attack. All I have to say is I am sorry you will have to do a repeat like Diablo 3, and likely Diablo 4, and the remake. These engineers just don't get what made Diablo, Diablo.

As a huge fan who started playing diablo II in a small local arcade (yes, they had just 4 computers going around) watching this it's like a dream came true. I can't thank you enough to all the team and community of players that kept things going. Also, a big thanks to Andre Abarhamian you can see the passion and dedication that this person has. All of them! But Andre I really think he just went the extra mile! Thanks Blizzard, and specially you: Vicarious Visions team FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT!

Dear Diablo community, once this game comes out can the Warcraft community have these guys to remake Warcraft 3?

@@stretchownz well, there still is no ladder, no clan system, no custom campaigns, no matchmaking system which were in the original game. Most of the announced new features were cut and new bugs make reforged way worse than the original and that shouldn’t be the case when we talk about a remaster. And it seems that Blizzard left it out there to die. Would be cool to at least have the old features back.

Having played D2 in the past, and the plugy mod for the last few years, and even the new PD2, this whole thing just made me smile all the way through. Can't wait.

This is absolutely insane! Plz keep it as nostalgic as possible! 🔥👍🏻

This resurrected my childhood!!!!!.... So many good memories playing Diablo II. It seems they really kept the essence of Diablo II which is perfect!!!. I'm so excited!!!

I can't wait. This game was mindblowing and I played it to death, can't believe it's been 20 years! How it's been updated visually is how I saw it back then, and the care and attention to detail you guys have put into this remaster is awesome. Very much looking forward to this.

Awesome job everyone! Congrats MrLlama! I've followed you for a long time and am so happy for you to be involved in this process. I am so beyond excited for this game, it is my favorite ARPG of all time and I can't wait to get back into it.

Looking good so far! As for pvp, PLEASE make sure duping and any nonsense is under control. This is HUGE for keeping the fun/risk high for pk'ing. Thank you!

So happy they reached out to MrLlama to be a part of presenting the remaster. He's such a positive member of the community, and his passion and love for the game is unmatched. Anytime I'm looking to jump back into the game I'll check out what he's up to. Kudos dude. This looks amazing, can't wait.

I don't think I can explain just how excited myself, my wife, many of my friends, and many relatives too are about this. I literally opened a group conversation for the first time in my 40+ years of antisocial nerd-dom to tell around 20 people about this when I found out.

You know they are genuinely passionate about this project when they make you excited over a garlic.

I watched every minute of this... fascinating... looks awesome! I'm really looking forward to it!

This was fantastic, and I too want to see an extensive documentary on this game.

Wow man the guy at the end was in tears thanking the community for the 20 years of support. I felt it.

I didn't expect this. It looks amazing. Thanks for developing this gem again!

Vicarious Visions is a really impressive studio making the best remasters on the market. The work they are doing on Diablo 2 looks incredible and incomparable with what has been done with Warcraft 3 Reforged. Such a shame that they didn't work on Warcraft 3 Reforged instead of this Malaysian studio...

The Malaysian Studio was only in charge of art and design, which, while controversial, is actually a lot more accomplished than the rest of the remaster. It still pisses me off how Blizzard killed a game that has been active for two decades, with a remaster.

This is the 2nd best thing that has happened in my 31 years of life

When he mentioned not changing the skull sound when you drop it in the inv that shows the attention to detail that needs to remain the same. I am excited to see my favorite game when i was 12 in 2006 brought back to life. Thank you blizzard, I hope the success of this remaster will influence design decisions for diablo 4 in a positive way

I actually tried going back to D2 two years ago, new characters. Just the sound of gems being moved brings such nostalgia. Can't wait to see it fine tuned and updated.

very insightful interview. kudos to mr llama. this also makes me confident that d2:r will be fantastics based on what was showed and this interview! looking forward to pre-ordering it once more info comes out

These guys worked so hard on this. All we can do is thank them.

Thank you so much blizzard, you have listened to the community. This makes me so happy. Seriously. Thank you.

props to MrLlamaSC~! I have watched some of his VoDs over the years.. the man kept playing d2 all this time~!

This is easily my favorite panel out of an especially enjoyable BlizzCon. Great work!

I have been playing Diablo 2 for 20 years and I’m literally tearing up over here!! I can’t wait!!

Loved this. Diablo's got covered. Now the only thing we need is the same level of commitment from the guys who do Lord of the Rings and 2021 will be perfect.

Thank you for hearing us

I recently played through the Command and Conquer remake and was blown away by how good it looked and how it basically looked like how I remember playing it 20 years ago-them rose tinted glasses! They also changed nothing mechanically which really helped make it feel truly authentic. If this D2 remake is on the same level as the C&C one then I will be stoked

The difference being that Blizzard has not reached out to D2's original creators, as EA did with C&C. Still, if EA can pull a quality game out of their bloated, corrupt asses, maybe fatcat Blizz can do it too.

Love to see MrLlama! Wonderful interview and I'm super excited for this game now. It was really great to see how much attention and care was put in to the update of the game while staying true to the original. PS. I would personally be fine with upping the droprate of high end runes, I think I've seen 1 in thousands of hours of Diablo 2 (worth mentioning, this was one of the major drivers of 3rd party trading sites and bots). Also, I'm game for season modifiers, especially since you are planning to run seasons more often.

I can’t wait for this game! I’ve been playing Diablo for 20 years now. It gives me the chills to see the game come to life in 3D

Now this is my blizzard, can't wait for this. The nostalgia I feel watching the game play is unreal. So excited!

This was fantastic! Big love. Loved hearing about all of this.

Who else has watched this like 50 times and gets more excited each time?

Happy to see MrLlamaSC getting some recognition. They should really ball some ideas with him for Diablo 4.

i was 12 yeard old when this game released, it blow my mind, now i feel the same, its truly amazing!

I'm going to echo MrLlamaSC - I would totally love to see a retrospective of some kind with the developers working on this after the game releases going over all of the cool things found in the archives that went into giving this gem its facelift, obviously factoring in what could and could not be shared (no snippets of actual code, etc.). It was fascinating hearing all of the quirks and interesting things that I had no idea about or was never able to appreciate due to limited screen resolution, etc. (like the statues in the Chaos Sanctuary). Maybe sit down with Brandon Jones from Easy Allies since he was involved in the Diablo Retrospective over at GameTrailers all of those years ago (and it was a phenomenal set of videos) and knock several videos out about the lost (and found?) history of the game and franchise - I know it would definitely be something that I would be excited to watch!

As one of those middle-aged die-hards for D2 (_always_ the first game I install when I get a new pc or whatever) - I'm pleased. Everything here says you guys did right by the game, and us. TBH all we ever wanted was a shared stash and a more secure bnet, but understood the difficulty in changing such legacy code to these ends. You went above and beyond and I thank you!

I got shivers down my spine the second the guitar started.

I've never been more invested in garlic.

The only game i need. Looks great, sounds better. Extremely hyped!

Really great interview with MrLlamaSC - it shows the developers are as passionate about their work as the players are

I'm so beyond pleased with what they've done with D2!

Can't wait for this, you can really tell they care about what they are doing. Well done fellas!

I love how Rob Gallerani only talks about how difficult it was to get everything running, poor guy looks exhausted lol. This just shows how weird and clunky videogames were made in the 90s and early 2000s.
