It will however have a positive impact on bases. So as you can see, its not like having p8 will make it so everyone will have bers and Jahs. Amongst my fellow team mates the highest rune we found as a group was a Lo, and in the entire channel the highes rune found was a ber. As someone who played over 8 hours a day for the first month of ladder majority in p8 games highest rune i found was a Vex. Ber and jahs are still impossibly rare for common players to find. I dont think having players 8 will have any significant or tangeable effect on rune or gg BIS item values. Then the second or third item will have a smaller chance of dropping. Meaning that every monster should 100% drop at least 1 random item. If this is the case as a game designer i would want to make every interaction rewarding. What i mean by this is that players will often fight smaller groups (bosses, small packs) vs super dense p8 zones. D2r as is, is more of a micro vs macro battle environment. The current drop rates for p1 are way to low. Players with means can just buy accounts and abuse a game mechanic that Blizzard allows. You brought some interesting point, however here is how i see it. It’s a brutal grind that would be somewhat consistent if I could players X online. Especially considering that when I can find a group, often times people are also doing D/Nihl, so I can’t solo them and have to split xp. Well, since there are hardly any public Hardcore baalruns, what would already take hundreds of hours will take hundreds more just trying to find groups to play with. So the best way I can XP now is to join Baalruns, then blitx seals in Chaos to solo Diablo (~55k xp in a full game), then rush to Nihlathak (~21k xp solo in a full game), then get to the baalrun for Baal (~11k xp when split between the full party). Everything else gives very little- I’m talking like 15-20k xp for all 5 baal waves and barely more than zero for literally everything else in the game. Now at 98 I basically only get XP from Diablo, Nihlathak, and Baal. It took about 100 hours to go 97->98- partly because xp was so bad, partly because there are basically ZERO public HC baalruns at any given time. XP at 97 was really bad due to lower level enemy penalties but I still could get ~100k xp per 8 player baalrun (compare to like 3m+ at level 88). I was really hoping to get this for online play.
