Rune words were underpowered compared to the chance to get one in legit way.
It's not rune words but bots and dupes(especially dupes) that ruined this system.
Is it overpowered when millions of people play some lottery and and they have miserable chance to win 1,000,000 $?
I guess no.
The same applies to rune words .If blizzard didn't fail in the fight against duping(thou i don't think they tried hard) max few people (and in most cases none) would have have those powerful items close to the end of ladder season.
Its especially true in the pre patch 1.12 versions of game ,before blizzard increased the rune drop rate.
(I had a time when i was running 3 bots 24/7 and i only got 1 ber and 1 jah rune that way over 1 year)
So ,yes i miss them .if dupes,bots will be fixed rune words is a nice end game goal!
Considering that this is probably only a fraction of the items that will be in the game and the fact that the "best" items will probably wind up being ones with six awesome random affixes that are better than any of the legandaries in the game.
I hope ,that its just placeholder
and those items will have some fixed properties + random ones,
if no ,its just the same gamble system of diablo 2 ,
but more expensive and time consuming.
We need some sort of penalty for swapping skills.How about putting this debuff on character
that swaps his skills out of town:
All damage is decreased by 50% percent for 30 sec,stacks up to 5 times.
And in addition we can make each skill swap cost 50% of character resource.
(for example 50% mana for witch doctor)
A huge dmg nerf would make your character unplayable for 30 seconds.
All they want to do is stop people from doing it during combat.
And the resource idea would only penalize the WD, maybe.
its only general idea on how to prevent player
of taking immediate advantage of skill swapping,
that can be easily implemented unlike
incombat/out of combat system ,which can be ideal solution
but as some bliz posted takes time to implement.
So it can be 30% damage for 10sec as well.
resource penalty also can be adjusted.
Single player as in when you are playing alone. On battle.net. your own game. imo.
If you play with friends, you followers will not be avaliable.
This makes sense actually...
Btw, great job on this find.
This system is awesome
and when someone enters your game they disappear or what?
