They did say 2021, but of course they could have mixed up those figures. Could be 2102.Going to take forever before it comes out anyway.
Also, a friend of mine got me into PoE this week... big mistake.

My feelings exactly. I too watched dbrunski125's video, and it gave me at least faint hope that they didn't #$%& it up. I won't be an early adopter; there WILL be bugs, and I'm quite happy to let other people find them. But it does look very, very good to my jaded, cynical, pessimistic, curmudgeonly old eyes.EDIT: dbrunski125's video on it basically says it's the old game running under a 3d rendering, so we should have our same ebug'd armor, qbugged andy, and 25fps based breakpoints, which I think is GREAT. I don't trust blizzard, or really anyone tbh to make changes. I just realllly like the game the way it is. So I always said I basically just wanted a frame interpolated and pixel smoothed remaster. Seems like this is just a more impressive version of that. Getting a bit pumped. No in-game microtransactions too. And ofc I hope there's offline SP. Not having that would be a major buzzkill.
"Bad" doesn't even begin to describe the total **** up that was. Not only was it riddled with bugs, but many features were removed and a lot of the improvements we were promised never made it into the finished product. The cutscenes in particular were pointed out as having been drastically dumbed down from what we were shown when they announced the remaster. And by "removed features", I don't mean they were left out of the remaster. I mean they went so far as to actually remove those features from the original version. The EULA was also altered so that Blizzard now owns absolutely everything you make, which is their way of avoiding another DotA.Don't mind me asking, what's the deal with W3 Remaster? AFAIK, it works as a "patch" that was made compulsory and riddled the game with bugs?
Apparently it's so bad that it makes people skeptical of this D2 Remaster.
I agree with this, I watched the deep dive and they completely sold me on this. Sure it can turn out badly in the end but I had $160 stored on my Bnet account forever with nothing to use it on besides waiting for D4. Visually I think they did a fantastic job with the game from what I had seen. Not to mention that the first few months of the game will be fun having that old Bnet experience back. The $50 for 2 months or more of that is worth it alone.This looks a lot more promising than I was expecting. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the deep dive panel. I also would love to hope that some sort of character importing feature would be included for offline play, but even if not I still think I would give this a go.
This. Don't push @Vildecor !Murios Project 2.0!
AFAIK, renderer is the thing that takes computer gibberish and shows you the images/videos.Can someone explain what a renderer is? In laymens term
I'm watching the deep dive now and I'm definitely getting my hopes up. They're talking a lot about layering the art engine on top of the original game but keeping all of the data and timing and everything.
I'm still not ready to assume old saves will work there, but I think there is hope that it might be something we could have SP tournaments with people playing remastered and original together.
Maybe.
