My vision is that we would have, in this hypothetical new blizzard expansion, a few changes, so something like this: My thinking is that, if we could actually keep all the XP we earned, rather than having it arbitrarily reduced for no good reason, we could all get a sense of closure when achieving the highest level. So I began, many years ago, to envision a system that didn't dead end at 99. And for what, to keep everyone from having 99th level characters? And just what good does it do you to get a character to level 99? Sure, it's a prestige thing, but what good is that character that can never improve, can never get better, can never get more powerful, ever? What isn't good though, is that when you take into account how much XP you are not getting (for no good reason), by the time you have reached level 88 now, you would already have earned more than enough to have earned level 99 without this arbitrary reduction. That's a high number, but doable if folks were determined and willing to put the time in. If you look at the excel spread sheet that I'll provide, it seems to show (If I have actually done it correctly and error free, which may not be a given, lol) that the experience points (XP) needed to reach the dead end of level 99 is something like 3.5 Billion. Looking at the XP rate reductions starting at level 70, I realized that Blizzard was attempting to keep people from achieving level 99, as that way the players wouldn't all have the vaunted (and uselessly dead end) 99th level characters. In fact, I'm thinking about content spread out over 4 expansions, but maybe one expansion with three upgrade packs, which you would have to earn the right to purchase by successfully beating the previous games.įirst off, I love my gaming time, and don't like being forced to play longer and longer to improve my characters once level 70 has been achieved. I envision a new expansion, let's call it Diablo II 2020, that keeps almost everything that already exists in D2/LOD. My ideas are for allowing folks that buy a new expansion, to create another/alternate set of characters in addition to Classic/Expansion. Hello folks, I'm new here and I have been wanting to inquire about some ideas that I have for better D2.
