I thought about this in another thread, but I believe it is an interesting concept that deserves its own thread.
Now, i realize no one wants raiding in Diablo. Thats not really its style. However, how about an idea close to the heroics in wow.
A high level party joins together fights the acts minions and bosses, however lets say the damage they deal is twice as powerful and their health is greatly increased. The drops from the monsters and bosses give are much better than normal.
Here is the catch, really good items drop lets say 1-5% of the time and you can only run one heroic a day.
I think that would please a lot more advance players. Lets say you have to be at least level 90 to enter or make a heroic game. The games must be made password protected and groups can be formed in b.net.
I think that would be a lot more fun and bring a whole new dimension to the game.

No, im talking way harder than hell. Something that will take like 4-8 very good chars to clear. You can only do it once a day, and the drop rate for uber items is low. Example
Pretend you in A4 in the Chaos Sanctuary. Normally good geared person can clear that with 8 people in the game no problem.
Im talking about a group of guys going through chaos and diablo and it taking 45 minutes to clear. The xp would be the same, but drop rates for items a lot high. This is where the "epics" could drop.
I think that the content itself should be challenging enough that at no point should any one character even with godly items be able to solo the hardest part of the game that should require a group.

i completely agree. But, then take it to the next level where everyone has to have top gear and spec'd right to succeed.

Diablo has always been a solo game first and foremost. This will not change.
Raiding is a WoW thing. We don't need to rip anything more off of that forsaken game to make a new Diablo.
Its not just a fucking wow thing. How simple minded is that. Its a total gaming conept. Were not talking about 50 mans battling a area for 6 hours. How aobut 8 man raid that last about an hour. Thats not bad.

Well hopefully classes will be more balanced as to where one player can't solo everything in a 8 player game.
Heroics could work though.
I'm kind of torn in that way, I enjoy a fairly easy game, but then for replay I like some harder aspects also.

Max players hell mode = maximum heroic mode.
D1 was much harder than its sequel.
