Come on, with the last nefs Daedalus AR is almost zero...I mean, 100% is easy to get with lucky bonus... weapons... I do 1 nice fortress build... but th best weapons for that build are nor swords an axes... now barb only can use those 2 weapons... another nerfs.... come on, barb is another class, with almost nothing special in comparison with other classes

Some other nerfs barb got:
-Mountain King stat gain nerf
-Runemaster softpoint bonus removed
-Stormblast range got fixed (was 1+ screen before)
-Weapon restriction
-(Almost alway) have to set RMB to a stance is surely a disadvantage
....
Seriously, people are bitching about Barb just because of a video made from a glass cannon build! I find it's ridiculous.

Can't be more satisfied when some BARB MASTERS cry. Love how they keep saying barb will get nerf about that video but the best part is they mentioned Trap Rat.

Yeah right. Trap rat is OP and has pretty damn OP real sick defense :lol:

Nerf and buff is the part of new patch. So learn to play new class instead of crying and prove that your fav class is not OP.

- Remove deathtimer, it is annoying
- Remove sprint or double/triple stamina

Yeah, right, but everything related to single player here is just marketing decisions, SP cant be appealing or else they wont make money with TG, same reason they made CotW's unsocketable

2. There is another significant part of the community who would support the devs no matter what, even if devs decide to shit down their throats.
3. You are missing the most crucial part from you assumption, developers' ego.
4. And last but not least, devs should never listen to their community, although that doesn't mean they should stay deaf.

pretty much

MP just still not interesting no matter what.
Why? Because theres no point of partying when you can just do the job alone.
"Lets go clear fauzt with group of 5". For what? Everybody will just clear different spot simultaneously. No need teamwork to clear the uber.
Unless every char designed to have different purpose then whats the point of MP?
And the xp based ladder doesnt competitive at all. "Look guys, I kill more monsters than you"

Don't be surprised if after a certain amount of iterations Sigma will become a multiplayer only mod. The point is rather simple: you are a potential customer or a patreon contributor as long as you're playing on TSW, it doesn't matter if you're doing it solo or in a party. And regarding the incentive to play online, don't worry you'll get some realm exclusive content in the near future.

Let's be honest there, considering the amount of cheaters and wannabe modmakers in a single player, the chance that one of them will support this mod instead of breaking it and playing by his own cool rules is pretty negligible. In some sense it's quite unfortunate there is so much information about d2 engine and its file structure, that even disabled can cheat pretty much everything he desires.

Tbh this entire debate is kinda pointless. Players like me use single player solely for theory-crafting/testing purposes. No one wants to waste TG/MO’s/Jewel-crafting time over and over again testing builds that might not even pan out. It’s much easier to simply copy and paste your save file over and over again until you find something cool. This is perfectly harmless and doesn’t effect the gameplay of anyone else. Getting rid of SP to spite some people who alter core game files is unnecessary as they’ve already ruined the fun of the game for themselves and miss out on some very unique and rewarding challenges.

MP is just SP with trading and a virtual leaderboard to see who has the most free time. SP offers a superior experience due to the lack of lag, rubberbanding and little to no desync. Forcing MP would only make it another subpar p2w MMO wannabe. On that note, the existence of trade gold pretty much puts the MP experience on the same level as SP. As long as your pocket is deep enough you can make any build. "Skills", luck, effort and whatnot are out of the window. Some people like to sneer at SP for cheating but they're okay with assassins selling Laz charms like candy on day 1. Can't do some content? Easy, buy the charm. People cried when Blizzard announced the auction house for D3 and now they're okay with this.

Want me to support the developers? Make Sigma a one-time purchase for $20-40 and I'll pay for it. I don't believe p2w is the way to go.

Tbh - Happy Easter !
