You can retrieve your body if you die, you lose your gold though, just like always or start a new game and spawn with your old body to recover in town. Unless youre playing Hardcore.Just beat NM Meph last night. Level 52. Anxiously getting to Act V for a few hundred Pindle runs. I made Stealth armor last night. Still rocking Leaf Staff. Other gear is garbage.
So yea, what is the story if you die, you drop your loot, and can't retrieve your body? All that stuff is gone? Or it reappears in a new game?
Absolutely baffling. There should have been no question this would be a very popular game and they should have created net-code and server infrastructure, to support that.Blizzard goes into detail of why the servers have been suffering so many issues. The short of it is that even the network code was inherited from the original game, and it wasn't designed to handle the kind of load they're seeing. Considering that they also launched on consoles at the same time while the original game was a "niche" PC game I'm surprised they didn't see this coming. Look forward to login queues and limiting the rate at which you can create games in the near future.

If only they let you play with friends directly, they could save a bunch of load on the servers.Blizzard goes into detail of why the servers have been suffering so many issues.

The technology isn't there yet.If only they let you play with friends directly, they could save a bunch of load on the servers.
As a long time dev (though not in games), you're typically only told to develop the bare minimum of what you need. Anything else is seen as a waste in terms of cost.Absolutely baffling.

You can use a save editor to give yourself whatever items you need to get your build going.FWIW I only play solo/offline.
I actually ended up getting this on PS5 for the new hotbar and to avoid the Blizzard/Activision launcher on PC.You can use a save editor to give yourself whatever items you need to get your build going.
I'm slow,Just beat nightmare with my meteorb sorc, only respec'd from nightmare act 3 as I was fire only and was seeing way too many fire immune enemies. My resistances went to shit obviously in hell, gonna be a rough one!
If you're expecting anything more than the original Diablo 2 experience then no. If you want to play Diablo 2 with shiny new graphics, its 50/50.Is it worth the price?
damn, you were super hyped about this when it was announced. what makes you feel so meh about it?If you're expecting anything more than the original Diablo 2 experience then no. If you want to play Diablo 2 with shiny new graphics, its 50/50.
i dont understand this. just play the original game. what's actually better about this paid "update?"
Have you played it? Do you play d2 with mods?
D2r has a good mix of incremental upgrades and a ton of graphics.
The only real negative from d2r is the loss of p2p connectivity online play. That's just going to depend on the person.
Looks every bit as dark as Diablo II did back in the day, even more so with the HD graphics I'd say. Ive played it extensively since it came out. It looks fantastic. But don't expect it to be anything other than Diablo 2. No opinion about playing online, I never played Diablo 2 online to begin with.Edit: just watched some. so now it looks like a kids game. wow i really want to pay for that. seriously just play the original. they even soft censored andariel. the only model that looks better is diablo
Diablo 2: Resurrected Is Getting An Action Bar And A PTR
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/d...getting-an-action-bar-and-a-ptr/1100-6498211/
"Following an "outpouring of community feedback," Diablo II: Resurrected on PC will receive an Active Skill bindings bar that makes the game play more like modern ARPGs. It will also gain a public-test-realm in the near future, where players can test upcoming changes".

I'm sure Horrorshow will be very pleased with this announcement
I knew you would be happy!YASSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*&K YES. (Now I can really play lol)
*crosses fingers for enemy health bars*
I knew you would be happy!
Isn't there already an option in the settings menu for enemy health bars or is that damage numbers?
I thought the whole point was this to stay true to the original game. Balance changes? Blizzard and VV just can't help themselves, can they?Big upcoming future PTR with class balance changes, mercenary changes, and new rune words. https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/dia...-resurrected-patch-2-4-highlights-coming-soon
It doesn't sound like they are nerfing anything. Just making changes to skills that nobody ever uses to make them more viable for end game. As long as they don't stray too far off I think it should open up some new build possibilities. As always its subject to change after PTR if people bitch enough.I thought the whole point was this to stay true to the original game. Balance changes?

Same here, why do they need to mess with it?I thought the whole point was this to stay true to the original game. Balance changes? Blizzard and VV just can't help themselves, can they?
LOL, knew it. "Oh, it's just a new look on the classic engine. That's all!" Now we're at the point of tweaking. So much for being a classic.
They kept patching the original game until just a couple years ago
At this point I have no issue with them patching the game, whatever they change, mods can fix. The modding community for D2R is pretty extensive now.that's what you guys get for paying for something you already own
