"If you look at D2R Items traditional Diablo--Diablo 1. Diablo the first version of Diablo you're immersed in that story narrative. This was the system they invented back then and one of the biggest challenges to create Diablo was figuring out what we hold on to from earlier games and how can we change in the future?" The focus on just the story "made Diablo feel more small than it actually was," says Mayberry. "Because you're constantly being driven to go there, and then you're going to go there."

"You don't need to. We designed it so that you don't. Patch 2.0.1 is perfectly viable for anybody who doesn't purchase it. However, it's an absolute shame not to purchase it, because we've added some new content to the game. Also, I think the game, as you've guessed, Reaper of Souls really pushes Diablo into Diablo 2 Resurrected buy items the direction it's meant to go."
