Been playing Diablo II again. Still had some of my old saves from years ago backed up so been messing with those and the old install. Either way hosted and got a sweet map I kept for single player for the moment on my Sorceress.>tp to Cold Plains.>go NW>cave>go in and take down Coldcrow and clean both levels out of uniques and loot>leave and head nw more>burial grounds>crush Blood Raven, clear the Crypt and Masoleum>lots of tp back to camp during this to sell and store things.>upgrade gems/collect runesSo for those of you still playing the OG Diablo and D2 LOD what's going on in your games?
>>12910832can't tell if genius or retarded
>>12910664I learned that playing on players 8 is actually not optimal and that you should stick to odd numbers
>>12910857I will test this with players 7 when I load it back up.>>12910832I have 8 people and a shared stash. this is both genius and retarded.it was way worse and this shot is me taking 3 half rejuvs and turning them into full.the sheer amount those drop in hell is comical. add in blood moor and cold plains both offer a ton of those dropping its ez-pz to stack.
>>12910862>goes to chill with the one lonely barbarian sitting outaide his shack>roleplays using the bonfire to concoct his potionsbased
>>12910909I admit I do roleplay a bit in the game. Even sometimes type a taunt in battle and in towns might say hi or greetings. not that I get replies but on occasion it's fine to see.
im playing project diablo 2 online for the first time and man what an amazing game this is. playing hardcore as well and i'm usually not a perma death kind of guy but it honestly feels like diablo 2 was made for it. i keep finding so many cool uniques that make me want to level up new characters and make builds around them .
>>12910964Ah man you get part of the joy of the game. I just got done doing a quick test with a build and so far it seems solid. Going to make a goof build for normal built around the fallen and their higher tiers. frenzy, bash, stun, howl, find item, find potion. will be interesting to see how it does. built using the barbarian.
Plugy and 800x600 for 1.00-1.06 when?

>Playing Diablo for the first time as warrior with sword and shield>Start the game, "Why is there a club in my inventory? I already have a sword.">Level 1, easy>Level 2, die a few times to The Butcher>Finish exploring Level 2, level up and drop a sword that has knockback>Use that sword to kill The Butcher with ease>Level 3, Get to the boss, King Leoric.

>>12911790>800x600You are gay
>>12912214Diablo has a certain charm to it and its first game that I love about it. Even the dlc hellfire has some things in it I love and enjoy. plus the hidden classes are fun to play as also.overall it's still a great game and I love getting lost in the dungeons and just grinding.one tip you can consider is running it in tcp/ip and host and it makes a new map. or maybe im remembering wrong. either way you can refresh the map and can do it again. a common tactic in the game and d2 for grinding and loot runs. d2 really went into it online and offline with many. I still do runs and refresh maps until I get a good one I like in layout.
>>12912227>Diablo has a certain charm to itI noticed it too. I like the atmosphere, the autumn colors and the demonic environments. Also the people of Tristram have been helpful (so far).The gameplay is less clunky than I expected.>you can refresh the map and can do it againThanks for the tip. That looks like something advanced to do on a second playthrough, I'll keep it in mind.
I've recently returned to diablo 2 to beat hell with a necromancer. I've always wondered how people actually came up with all the runewords in the past. It seems Impossible for it to be just try and error, someone looked at the code right?
>>12913131prima guideblizzard's own website
>>12913131people posted them online and looked them up and all that fun. rune are fun to use
>>12913131every aspect of the items has been detailed on arreat summit (official site) for like 25 years
What do you guys think of the new first person diablo mod thats being worked on.
>>12914683havent heard of it until just now. maybe it'll be good. those types of games can be quite fun. will be interesting to see it done in diablo
>>12910664>So for those of you still playing the OG Diablo and D2 LOD what's going on in your games?Just tried to play it like an MMO with multiple different characters I've created and slowly level them up 1 by 1 and equally.I'm just playing it super relaxed or casually (just to past the time)
>>12914907Sounds fun. I have a few characters myself and rotate between them. strong doing loot runs and all that. It's an mmo in a sense and I get that statement. I treat it as one also and my characters are all part of it. I joke but sometimes I wish someone had a mod to let us inject some basic ai or something to get more chat out of the npcs and monsters. but eh whatever the games great but taunting blood raven and rankanishu into seethe would be comical
>>12910964I hate this mod because now I can never go back to playing OG D2, It's too good.
>>12915010I have yet to check that mod out
how many of you have finished a hardcore run from start to finish (kill baal in hell) online on closed servers without trading/twink gear or help of any kind (ssf)?
>>12916879Tons have actually over the years. I find it amusing you babble about trading and tweaking gear (it's not call twink and stop using that gay word people wrongly force for tweaked characters. it's tweaked not twink gayboy characters and idiots saying it need to be beaten). But yes tons of conquered hardcore in single/online play and did so tons of times without trading/tweaking characters that way. odd question to ask and makes me wonder if you werent around playing d2 15+ years ago with everyone.
OK! I have a few hours to spare tonight. I am going to be doing some runs using tcp/ip and having fun with that. Gear and loot drops a go go.
welp my run is over. I run plugy 12 for the version of d2 I run and the nagger figget dev had a bug I wasnt aware of that switching between hardcore and non hardcore doesnt actually seperate stashes even if set to seperated. so 4years of stash for non-hardcore lost. pages of runes and uniques and tons of stuff. just wiped becasuse some figger nagget dev and windows cant fucking code for shit. welp time to go sit outside on my log and smoke a blunt.
>>12917948you seem really defensive over an innocuous question
>>12918402Not at all. I answered him and pointed out this was normal stuff when the game was still king and played constantly. You seem awfully defensive over someone pointing this out. nice you threw in innocuous there as if that needed to be said. it's like you're trying to frame things you're somehow a victim and someone is a big mean person for answering something. I think it's past your bedtime and you should goto bed if someone answering a question causes you to get triggered in upset and start getting defensive. Now stop trolling or whatever your butt hurt posting is and grow up.

>Goat ShrineWould you click it?
>>12918854yes, i use every shrine and try to figure out what it did after. no savescumming.
>>12918902>savescumminghello, redditor"save scumming" means backing up a quit-save in games with permadeathit doesn't refer to "abusing" the save/load function
>>12918905>it doesn't refer to "abusing" the save/load functionyea it does
>yea it does
>>12918915lol
Started leveling a Sorceror on Diablo. It is very strong, a lot of uniques doesn’t require strenght so I dump all my points in Magic. In the final levels, a lot of mobs with magic immunities start to become a regular appearance, got bored and made a Warrior. My goal is to beat Hell difficulty for the first time
>>12917948mental meltdown lol
>12918979awesome fabrication trollboy. got any more lies you want to post online like you're manly or not a homosexual diddler? lol lmao funny you waited 14 hours to reply. holy rent free and seething still batman look at this bitch made absolutely anal assaulted still 14 hours after. lol, lmao you're forever my bitch.
>>12910964I just started Project Diablo 2 around a week ago. It is fucking based and I love it. Global chat is insane but it can be turned off. I keep it turned on though.
It's interesting to see the OG versions still has some popularity to this day.
>>12919348Did the new season come out?
>>12919935Yeah season 14 is running now.
About to bust out one of the high levels to grind out loot run drops. glorious burial grounds runs
>>12919348Love pd2. Been playing it since the first season. It really feels like a natural progression of what d2 would have progressed into if blizzard was competent.
>>12916879Once, all the way through from start to finish, with a Zeal Paladin. Turns out you can punch through most enemies in hell just fine with something that'll cast amplify damage automatically and strong defenses.Other runs tended to end unceremoniously against random enemies when I lose focus.
Im playing D2 Classic right now. Running a sorceress at lvl 25. Going to wait till lvl 30 and reallocate my skills and max out blizzard.
>>12920936Amp damage/decrepify are basically necessary for physical characters on hell because monsters tend to have at least 50 phys resistance, so amp damage reduces it by 100, to -50, effectively tripling your damageBit of a fuckup from Blizzard I'd say
>>12921102I mostly liked it because it broke most physical immunities making it so I could just punch anything in the game without worrying about if I needed to change to Vengeance or not. I think the only creature it didn't break was the locust swarms in act 2.Hell difficulty doesn't feel all that well thought out really, but at the same time I'm not sure if Path of Exile's redesign of it is much better. Sure, in PoE you don't really have to worry about what element of damage you're dealing, but D2's system of finding ways to break immunities or having multiple damage types could be interesting too.
>>12921102it was done that way on purpose and not some fuckup like you claim. not every game needs to be tism balanced
Without twinking gear or relying on respec (not investing in energy), is it true your entire normal-nightmare is just packing mana pots and chugging? How do you even have space for loot or the patience to tp every few minutes
12922000tweaking. only retards call it twink.
>>12922000Idk about early versions, but in 1.10+ the enemies drop plenty of potions to where I've never really felt strapped for mana. Only in Hell have I really started worrying about mana but I'm working on getting Insight which should cover it.
