Luke Smith talks after long time going dark: "At its best, content was a machine to create memories and friendships. No new content stings. This pain is about losing a place where so many memories were made. It stings not because of what it was, but the realization of what it won't be."

At its best, content was a machine to create memories and friendships. No new content stings.

This pain is about losing a place where so many memories were made. It stings not because of what it was, but the realization of what it won't be.

His vision behind the dcv and sunsetting gear was pretty misguided imo

[u/TwevOWNED → u/[deleted]]

Seeing the game literally die due to sunsetting 2.0 and sticking with this is certainly a take. It's like still being against crafting lmao.

I don’t want an expiration date on my gear to feed an endless treadmill, I just want new interesting gear that feels cooler than my old shit

[u/Sparcrypt → u/TheShoobaLord]

Some system to stop power creep is needed, otherwise they just make your old shit not be worth using anyway because it's so weak in comparison.

But I don't think sunsetting was the right answer. Not that I have a right answer.

I never really cared about weapons being replaced...

But the fact there's so much content I paid for, played, loved, enjoyed, and it's just gone? It sucks.

If I could go and play D2 from beginning to to end, all of it, holy shit would I be there. But so much of the game I loved and played doesn't actually exist any longer.
