The purpose of the changes, of some maps to static maps and of others to make them smaller is that, being this way you can deviate to alternate maps and secondary bosses without investing so much time and without deviating much from your path, and always being within the level range suitable for the area. Usually these areas are never visited or it is done until the end when you are already too high level for the area. This also makes the side areas more rewarding towards the final boss fight with Andariel.

Jail level 3 new design:

The suggestions are certainly outlined in more detail that most folks, thank you for taking the time.

I don't see too many down-sides to any of the suggestions. The charm might want some debates for balance concerns, but that's to be expected I think. One issue might be that players will just tele-skip the content, as they usually do, especially when they're stationary gargoyle traps and the map is preset. It's a bit hard getting motivation to implement changes that most people won't see, and some will complain about just for fun.

If you have the time to create the maps, perhaps they could be included in Solo packages from now on, and perhaps after a few of those they could be included in some multiplayer versions.

I like to see map changes, new quests and bosses. I also like that most d2 maps have many variations that you have to search a bit before you find the objective or the next area. I wouldn't like the addition of more static maps without any random elements. Having a new dark forest might be interesting for a few weeks, but if the dark forest always spawns the same for months and years to come it will be less fun in the long run.

The whole point is, that you are already skipping these maps.. making them static maps you straight forward clear and walk to the next floor or to a next map or sidemap... most people even skip the waypoint in woods and jail.... everyone skips countess and come back 50 levels later... and hell...i can even ensure you dont even bother with the cave, the pit, the crypt, the mausoleum, the hole, the UG passage2, the morgue and so on... the whole point is, if you are already skipping it, these changes encourage to atleast go thru those content for quick farm and even get rewarded with the charm. the rest of the maps and the crucial ones are still randomized.

Making some smaller and less teddious by being static, gives you time for side maps while going thru the act untwinked without having to detour so much.

ya, the balance is expected on the charm... still a beautifull item and built by beating the 3 rogues... the whole concept is cool and helps you for the end-content of the act.

people already skip... i know... the whole point is, instead of skipping to the end, you will look forward the side maps for that reward, and wont take forever, it will be about the same time, and you get more farming spots and minibosses.

Too bad i dont know how to do the map edditing or of the coding necesarry to mod it myself.

yeah i was reading this and i dont see any down side ... as wofls says we do all skip those boring map ... but if it would be smaller, static wit a reward at end ... i would clear it for sure ... hopefully this will end up somewhere nice work and time investement there wolfs !
