all I'm seeing is photographic evidence of a moron playing ancient goyslop
Surname Wanderer, first name Dark.
>>721640237Photographic evidence of a moron would be a screenshot of your post.
>>721640095Not important
>>721640095Literally me
>>721640237He's right but only because OP is playing Resurrected
OG Diablo protagonist that got corrupted by the super stone of evil powers that made him become Diablo himself, but before that he must wander darkly for a while >mfw Diablo was about the perils of being addicted to loot to the point where the sheer idea of becoming even slightly more powerful twists you forever>now it's a franchise all about getting more and more loot and number go up

>>721640613>think this is the coolest story ever and Blizzard are master writers >learn later that the D1 ending was made by some other company>talked with the devs how it was supposed to end but made their own shit and send it to Blizzard>Blizzard just took it because they didn't want to argue with the other company
>>721641000You've got some unusual facts mixed up. You are mistaking the og game ending with the D1 expac. Hellfire was given to another studio and snuck in all kinds of things against the og dev's intentions, to the point where nothing from it is considered canon in the sequel. Most of these disliked things BlizzNo didn't know about until the game was already launched, because Synergistic Software kept promising they'd fix or undo them but never did.The "D1 ending," as in Diablo and the soulstones and (failing to) wrestle for eternity, was made entirely in-house by the Diablo team (Blizzard North + Chris Metzen), which is also the same team for Diablo 2.>Script & Story: Eric Schaefer, Eric Sexton, Chris Metzen, Bill RoperThat's who made the D1 story both in-game and the manual (which set up everything from the world to the sequel).
>>721640613>perils of being addicted to loot to the point where the sheer idea of becoming even slightly more powerful twists you foreverPoe did the same thing with sirius / rogue exiles

>>721641000>D1 ending was made by some other companynope
>>721640095That's Aiden, the song of King Leoric, he also is the father of Leah and brother of Albrecht. He also is Diablo, Diablo's brother, and Diablo's dad.
>>721640582There's unironically zero reason to play the original. This one has much needed balance changes, works on modern systems, you can even reenable sovl mode.The only real downside is no LAN, but only cheaters care about that.
>>721643559"Soul" mode looks shit compared to D2:LOD retail. I'm sorry but it's NOT the same.
>>721641616Brevik mentioned in some interview that the ending cinematic they got back from Blizzard was not what they had wanted, and that they originally planned to have a happy ending. The cinematic team is not really 'some other company' though, it was Blizzard's usual in house team. IDK whether the rock-in-head ending was Metzen's idea, or if the cinematic department just went rogue.
>>721643675>not what they had wantedHe said they didn't have any plan at all, nor expectations, but they were very happy to see the cinematics made for their game.
>>721642612it's the warrior
>>721644362CORRECT.Warrior -> Dark WandererSorcerer -> The SummonerRogue -> Blood Raven
Just found a titan's revenge, never played an amazon. Redpill me on a javazon build
>>721644875every other thing in nightmare and hell is lightning immune
>>721642612Did you even play the game? Rogue became Bloodraven, the sorcerer became the Summoner from act 2 and the warrior became Diablo.
>>721645037I just need one for countess runs. I already goon the other bosses with my fire hydra/frozen orb sorc
>>721642612The original cast were all corrupted by their encounter with Diablo with the warrior himself being possessed by him.
>>721645260wrong, the monk was never corrupted
>>721644875Anything that isn't immune to lightning dies instantly. Charged Strike doesn't have any roll to hit and shits out damage while lfury deletes entire screens.
>>721645582>original cast
>>721643559They made the Amazon trans.
>>721643559Or just use the original with PlugY? Blizzard even gives out the installers for free for some reason. Resurrected is pointless unless you care about the ladder.
>>721643559the "soul mode" is gimped to make the shitty remake look better in comparison. pd2 works on modern systems just fine and has better QoL. there is no reason to give money to nublizz
>>721645582There was never any monk
>ywn be captured by the sisters of the sightless eye and get used for sexual relief by a bunch of amazon redheads
>>721645986Monk was from Hellfire
>>721641837sirus and rogue exiles was the best part about the game. to this day nobody will peak sirus in terms of cool.
>>721647612which is a fanfic mod
>>721648432hello david brevik
>install Diablo 2 and Lord of Destruction with Lutris>download Plugy and dxd2 for higher resolution Yep... it's gaming time.
>>721640095John Diablo.No seriously, it is Diablo possessing someone.
>>721641000Well that explains why D2 sucks ass compared to D1.
Any FUN and viable crossbows builds?
>D1 heroes all got corrupted>D2 heroes don't and became gigastacies and gigachads except for the Sorc who got betrayed by Hogwarts and assassinated>D3 heroes are all SSJ4>D4 "wanderers" are the same as D2 heroes
>>721651382enchantress demon machine
>farm NM Andariel for SoJ>only get trash greens and Act 1 uniques>best finds are 2x Tal Rasha's amulet, 3x Goldwrap and 3x Magefist>only found one ring, a 22MF NagelsJUST
>>721644246I'm pretty sure the other guy is correct. They originally wanted a happy ending
>>721652961>kill hell bosses>they drop level 4 set gear
>>721643668>"Soul" mode looks shit compared to D2:LOD retail.No, you're just remembering Plugy or whatever it is you kids played with post-LOD.
>>721640095Master Chief from the hit game Halo 5: Guardians
>>721650671Now that's a proper remaster right there.
>>721652961>>721653743If you're on players 1 stop wasting your time and just buy the loot you want from paypig sites or buy forum gold on JSP
>>721640582based>>721643559kiked
>>721650671Way too zoomed out, literally cheating lolAlso looks bad
>>721652005guess it's time to finally play something other than barb
>>721654290>just buy the loot you want from paypig sites or buy forum gold on JSPExactly the problem of the game and other games it spawned. What a heap of garbage.>gambling sim>pay with your time>or with your walletFuck it and Path of Exile and every single "looter" game.
>>721655090Most players fall on the farming trap because they see these Jewtubers getting them in 200-1000 runs, not realizing they're running offline players 8 singleplayer or have an army of simps waiting on town for them while they get top tier lootIf you can burn your wallet for Steam sales, you can burn your wallet for D2R SCL/NL paypig sites or forum gold
>>721654453who cares it's a single player game
Now you know why they banned me, Marius
>>721656203why did diablo spare marius and how did marius venture outside of kurast and inside the travincal?
>>721657074He needed Marius to pull the Soulstone out of Tal Rasha.
>>721653846Haha, no. "Soul" mode looks like pixel vomit. Get your eyes checked or go back in time 20 years and actually play LOD
>>721658457that was act 2 thoughthe answer is he got through act 3 but ran away from the portal to hell because he had baal's soulstone which protected him
Give me build ideas for a character that isn't cookie cutter. I was thinking of making a thorns pally with conversion for minions. It'll probably be a piece of shit but might be fun.
So what does the soulgem even do. It's supposed to be a soul prison, but an angel told them how to corrupt it so they could slowly break free from it and corrupt surrounding people. But then what does smashing it do. You still have prime evils you have to imprison, right? Wouldn't their spirits just remain free now? Why did baal want his soulstone back?
>>721659562It's a dereferencing pointer so by destroying it (making it null) you crash Hell with no survivors.
BLIZZARD, HIRE THIS MAN
>>721640237Anyone who says slop should have their mother used as meat for rape and snuff, desu.
>>721659707>angels are object-oriented cuckswtf I love hell now?
>>721659510Armageddon Fire Claws Werebear druid
Where was Tyroneal in D4?
>>721660005That sounds like it could be cool and way better than my shitty thorns pally idea from a gameplay standpoint. What would I use for a weapon? A phase blade with six shaels?
>>721645938You can pirate the game, you know.
>>721660134Attack speed is pretty big for itTheres also the Earth shifter maul which fits thematically
>>721660447I was thinking phase blade with six shaels with a phoenix shield for the - enemy fire res would be really nice. Earth shifter could be cool but I don't have one of those on HC. With ravenlore and a sunder, I think this build could be really powerful.
Guys, what the fuck do I do with all my pgems and skulls? Am I missing some fundamental cube recipe or something?
>>721640613>>now it's a franchise all about getting more and more loot and number go upI mean blame diabloslop2D1 is the only good title anyway
Best way to play Diablo 1 and 2? I'm only interested in the campaigns, no PvP or online crap like "seasons" and shit.
>>721642612Nigga, the blood raven is literally the rogue from d1
>>721640095>D2, D3, D4>no warriorExplain this chuds
>>721660731Classic diablo 2 with plugY for shared stash
>>721660724Yeah, that's why every Diablo 1 thread is actually a stealth Diablo 2 thread--because this game is slop and not the peak of the series.
>721661091Can I play co-op with my friends using this?
>>721660925people became more specialized over time
>>721661309Why don't you just play Diablo 2 non ladder if you want that? You can make a private game and ignore the bots.
>>721660925>no warriorBut he's literally in OP's pic. Warrior got corrupted and therefore went bye-bye.
>>721640095The nigger walker.
>>721661458make sense>>721661513FRICK U NERDIM TALKING ABOUT PLAYABLE WARRIOR YOU BITCH ASS N WORD
>>721661459I have absolutely no idea what that means. Diablo 2 has so many different versions that I don't know what the best way to play it is outside of shelling tons of money for Ressurection which I don't really want to do since I'll play on the old graphics anyways.
>>721660640I beat hell baal with it in og d2. Hell is a slog though without fat gear because of all the fire immune obviously.When you finally get the levels for all the abilities the rhythm is pretty fun. It doesn't clear super fast but it clears safe and it feels pretty badass. Used infernostride boots with it too for far too long just because the chance to cast blaze looked cool.Phoenix is extremely good for the build so if you can get I would
>>721661179Whatever you say slot machines addict
>>721661718Cope and seethe.
>>721661634>make senseNot him, but I think he means the warrior class branched into the two new paths of barbarian and paladin.
>>721660925That class is in every game. It was just a generic term for fighting men, and it even defined itself as including the likes of paladins, crusaders, mercs, etc. Future games had defined classes, so it was spread out.
>>721662394also when you consider d2 and later expand on the world as far as locations it opens up for selecting classes from specific areas.
If you're not playing on a voodoo with 3dfx glide then you aren't playing right.
>>721642612lmao retard, shows you never played the games and just come here posting like the retarded faggot you are
>>721644246Nah the other guy is correct, I remember the interview too. Blizzard made the cinematic but went with the twist without checking with Blizzard North, Brevik was pissed at first but grew to like the idea.
>>721660925Blizzard found out that no one plays nor likes traditional melee characters, they're always meme classes and meme buildsDiablo players prefer casters and ranged characters
WHERE DA FUCK IS THE PALADIN IN D4?!
>>721663709More like>people like nuking entire areas and moving on to the next area to nuke, the downtime between nuking areas is being min-maxedMelee classes just can't compete with mob nukers.
>>721643675>>721644246>>721663445>>721653672>originally planned to have>happy>wanted>pissedThey didn't have anything in mind (or control), but they were briefly unsure with what they got with the final cinematic, debated with themselves, and accepted it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlrrc_vy79E&t=4445s
>>721663993Became a black girlboss NPC for the cinematics.
>>721664008If only melee characters also had cool melee skills that could potentially clear screens quickly like a whirlwind or something
>>721665357The fact that this comment is true is so funny, peak blizzard aids.
>>721662394The Diablo 1 and Starcraft 1 manuals are such fucking kino and I regret living in the timeline where game manuals are no longer a thing.
>>721665524Still requires mobs to get very close to you. And if we try to make skills that can chase multiple enemies we are almost eking into anime and weeb territory. The Paladin's Charge ability is the fastest way to close that distance aside from Teleport. Now consider about 30-40% of the mobs actually have a retreat mechanic. Archers, Mages, Fallen, a LOT of mobs have actual "run the fuck away" AI. It's egregious with Zealots in Act 3 who actively flee from you once you are over-leveled for the area. Have fun chasing, I'm gonna teleport around and just zap mofuckas.
>>721640613>sheer idea of becoming even slightly more powerful twists you foreverDidn't he stick the stone in his head because he thought he would be powerful enough to contain it?
>>721665713Nah dude barb can move absurdly fast, if it weren't for a few dumb mechanics it'd be great at clearly screens. It's already the best at farming pits.Melee can work just fine in aprgs.
>>721659921SLOP SLOP SLOP SLOP SLOP
>>721665201nope they wanted a happy ending, i'm pretty sure one of the devs mentioned it himself
>>721666023I don't think you understand just how fast teleporting into a room and dumping like, 2 Ice Spheres at 70 FCR is.
>>721651382multiarrow guided arrow bowzon with upped buriza
>>721665357that's a priestess tho :V
>>721666327>Ice SpheresBrother please.
>>721666231>nope they wantedMaybe another dev mentioned such in another place, but Brevik just explained his side of it from where I timestamped it in the video.
>disliking d2>disliking d2rmassive cringe
>>721666580FUCK U DUMB GAMBLERYOU ARE IN A DIABLO 1 ENJOYERS ONLY THREADBITCH ASS NIGGA
>>721666505You know what I'm trying to say here. By the time a WW barb is done spinning the MF Sorc is already in the next room.
>>721666580d2r is crap and anyone running damage control for it is retarded. I appreciate the balance changes, but the artstyle was a downgrade in every way, not to mention a huge presence of "artists remorse" because of all the heckin' murdered women. You could achieve the same balance changes d2r had in a regular d2 game without gutting the visuals.
>>721666805just play d2 modded instead thend2r is really good
>>721666327did they uncap the global cooldown for frozen orb?
>>721667020Not him, but they replaced all casting delays with cooldowns. So yes, it's not a "global" cooldown, just a cooldown for the spell itself.
>>721640095that's the Bay Harbor Butcher.
I farmed TZs all day. I've found 3 (three!) Crown of Ages.But 0 Griffon's or high runes. What the fuck
>>721644731>CORRECT.>Warrior -> Dark Wanderer>Sorcerer -> The Summoner>Rogue -> Blood RavenWhat happened to the D2 cast in D3 and 4?
>>721660657yes, you find ilvl >=55 grand charms and reroll them into skillers using 3 perfects
>>721668017I want to say as sorc in d3, leading up to fighting mathael you meet d2 sorc's spirit. maybe same for barb and necro? can't remember since it's been so long but the classes d2 and d3 share pretty sure there was mention that they lived their lives
>>721668017Xul, the Necromancer, is the only character from D2 who has their lore truly expanded on. He appears in almost EVERY game since. Yes, even that one.
>>721668017barbarian is barbarian until it got retconnedpaladin died right after, you find his gravedruid and necro peaced out and went to do their own thingsorc, assassin, and amazon are dead under mysterious circumstances
>>721666580There always that one retarded d1 faggot that comes into d2 threads because no one cares about d1 stillborn threads
>>721668085Yeah that's pretty fucking fundamental. Thanks.
You now remember finally getting to level 30 as Barb and excitedly unlocking Whirlwind only to be so disappointed you rolled a new character.
>>721666523That makes sense
>>721660657>>721669832Perfect amethysts and rubies are used for crafting and perfect skulls are used for rerolling rares, both are moderately valuable in bulk. The rest of perfect gems are mostly junk besides socketing recipes and should be the ones you reroll grand charms with.
What happened to Marius after D2?
>>721671357probably got eaten by baal's minions
>>721643559Can't play Project Diablo 2 on resurrected. The only reason I have them both installed.
>>721659510>I'm not someone who plays popular builds like all those other plebs>I still need to be spoonfed thoughpleb
>Adria was actually evil the whole time and saved Gillian so she could raise the devil baby Adria had with the possessed Warrior who she took as a loverI hate it so much.
>>721671887D3 is not canon
>>721671935Do you consider D4 canon?
>d1 is a slow dungeon crawling experience>d2 can be experienced as a dungeon crawler in the first few chapters, but falls apart as the devs ran out of time>d2 introduces the loot grind, but the grindable places are pretty limited due the rushed campaign>classes also have some design issues. The skill system has useless skills that had to be made worth it via synergies, like firebolt>d3 is perfectly lined up to fix these problems>instead it shits the bed on every level>d2 ends up having more players online than d3 in a few years>d4 is squeezed out after the immortal fiasco and after the honeymoon period people are disappointedAt this point I wish they would just make another D2 expansion that pads out chapter 4 and fixes some of the skill trees, adds a few classes, and adds a new chapter.
>>721673418Honesty just removing synergies and directly buffing the damage/range/radius/etc. of the skills would breathe so much new life into D2.Which would actually be old life but you know what I mean. Hyrbrids would be functional and running shittier skills creatively would be more appealing.
>>721666805>but the artstyle was a downgrade in every wayThe utter fucking delusion of you OLD GOOD NEW BAD fags is hilarious
>>721666805>You could achieve the same balance changes d2r had in a regular d2 game without gutting the visuals.Now do it without the 8 angle snapping movement. Oh wait, you can't. Back to D2R, the superior version
>>721668017>What happened to the D2 cast Necro = became a gigachad and has numerous apprentices including the player character from D3 and D4Sorceress = got assassinated by an assassin from the same order as the one from D2Assassin = disappeared foreverPaladin = returned to Kurast to help rebuild the Zakarum, later took Mephisto's remains to a separate tower because it was corrupting everyone and sealed himself along with others until they diedDruid = became a gigachad and the D4 druid and Scosglen NPCs worship himBarbarian = got old and is supposedly the same guy in D3; Harrogath and the rest of the barbarian towns got nuked and they became nomadic hobos
what level should i start hell?
>>721677768as soon as you can beat the chapter 3 boss.diablo isn't really a "level up" gated game. It's more of a "do you know how to play the game properly and have the right stuff" kind of game.
>>721678275sorry i meant diablo 2im not playing that boomer dated shit
>>721676858>Necro = became a gigachad and has numerous apprentices including the player character from D3 and D4Well the next batch ought to find a new master because the D3 Necro sucks shit.
>>721640237epic
>>721640357Like a sprained ankle I ain't nothin to park
