I loved D1 and D2, putting in literally THOUSANDS of hours, and dropped it like it was hot when they cut out 1/2 the content in the game. Restore the vaulted content and I'll come back. Without that, it's clear you don't value the time and money I invested.
Yep, fuck all that.
Ignoring the stuff I paid for, I don't find any of the content they replaced it with (mostly if you buy more shit) satisfying at all. The original enemies were incredibly well designed and enjoyable. The taken weren't bad. Most of the rest very clearly didn't have the time put into designing them. They suck, and I don't want to play them.
The "new" enemies were just re-skinned old enemies.
I don't care visually, necessarily, though that sucks too.
I'm talking about the behavior. The fallen's tools were built to play together to make encounters play one way, the hive a different way, the vex different, the cabal different. Each set was well balanced inside itself to work, but they also worked well allying with other races.
Their evolution over time has been into gimmicks and spam that don't make encounters compelling at all.
