Drops this Thursday, 23SEP 1100 Eastern.

Who's stoked?!

Turns out, your save file from D2L will transfer over for SSF play, which is pretty sweet for those that have characters that they've been playing for the last 20 years(my dad is on of those people).

I decided to take Friday off to play. I'm excited. Just the graphics and UI overhaul with auto gold pickup and shared stash is amazing. No more mules!!!
 
I for one, can't wait for this. It's going to be awesome. I played the beta and really liked it. Probably try a few unhealthy hours into my character. We should get it all hardforum users game going.
 
To be fair that's just the news thread. Could use a move to the PC gaming section maybe, or keep this thread going
 
Anyone still actively playing? I have a few days off work and was looking for people to play with.

"SEE, SEE? WE MADE GOOD GAMES ONCE, PLEASE GIVE US MONEY WE PROMISE WE'RE STILL GOOD REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE GOOD REMEMBER PLEASE GIVE USE MONEY"
 
I saw the update earlier, updated it and saw they want $25 for it. No thanks. I think I paid $20 for D2 Resurrected.
 
No way I'm skipping this, i had to pretend to be my friend's dad on a pay phone so that EB games would sell it to my buddy the last time there was a new d2 class. 25 bucks is nothing, some of yall probably spent yhat on chicken nuggets today. It's an entire class, updated end game, wil, items etc.
 
If it was $5-10 maybe I'd be interested but it is just more of the same. The base game of D4 is $30 now.

I think some of this is vote with your wallet actions. I have no issue giving $25 to some game makers. Blizzard? They have been a greed machine since Diablo 3’s launch with the auction house and haven’t looked back. $25 for assets they made for other Diablos put into D2 doesn’t seem very genuine.

It is all about perceived value. For an action rpg that I've already played 3-25 years ago, no it really isn't worth it. For that money there are new games that interest me more and some of those fail to win me over. It is what it is, like I said earlier I paid less for the base remastered version and D4 has been on sale for $30 a few times now in the past year. I barely got my money's worth on D3's expansion. I might as well get D4 for that money and play that with a friend or two.

Had to pause here for a second... hands down the luckiest drops of all time from a single game? :rolleyes:

Cham, Vex, Rainbow Facet, COA and possibly a BK? My goodness, hope they went to and bought a lottery ticket.



Overall though, I am quite excited. I'll prolly have to pick this up in a few days after launch or so, depending on how things go. I remember the D2R servers for the first couple of weeks D2R was released; time outs galore and near impossible to get a game started, let alone do any farming in quick succession.

EDIT: Hopefully not the case this go around though, and my above won't apply.

I'm sure streamers had some quality drop rate enhancements. MrLlamaSC had a full kit already and on a 99 'lock. Apparently the big big big D2 steamers basically did the input and design and Blizz mad it happen.
 
Darn it, I was trying to make a joke about the God-Tier trailer drop rates and here you come with your facts :p I'm kidding.

Interesting that Llama and others go the inside scoop. TBH, busy day at work and I haven't had a chance to read up on the actual changes or any thing on the new class.

Really wonder how these new runewords and unique's affect the balance though. I do think this game needs a bit of an overhaul in the pure physical dmg department (aka Barb and some Zon builds), physical has been outclassed by magic EASILY since like 1.10? Farm with another class until you can get dual Griefs, or just go Horker and farm Trav lol. GF Barb is only so fun for so long....

Again, I'm stoked D2R is getting some love. I'm in the camp where I grew up with this game and this "DLC/Expansion" is enough to draw me back in, even for 25 bucks.

I never stopped playing lol.
D2, WoW, and FFVII are my most played games ever. I haven't played WoW for close to 13 years
 
still no ultrawide support... I can't even seem to find mods for it. I reckon uw players would have an advantage but no offline support? it's a bummer but will try and just get over it.

Have you tried to force it via .ini?

I should re-phrase ... it supports 3440x1440 natively in the graphics options but it blacks out the sides by design... it's not terrible but a bummer.
edit:
  • Black Bars: Even at 3440x1440, the game will likely display black bars on the sides because the engine restricts the rendered view to a 19:9 aspect ratio.
  • Alternative Solutions: Some players have used third-party tools like Flawless Widescreen to adjust the field of view (FOV) in single-player mode, though this is not supported for online play.
I guess I might try flawless..

Ultrawide support would give an advantage to those playing at those resolutions vs non uw resolutions. Example, your cast distance is limited by your view, (21:9+?) and monster sight is limited by theirs (standard resolutions, 16:9 now).

So, you can cast Blizzard on monsters outside their vision but their on the edge of your UW or SUW view. They spaz out because they dont know what's hitting them.

Its similar to how we used to farm LK with telekinesis at a 4k res (via mod). You could pop most of the whole map from the WP and claim what you wanted or reroll the map lol. Yeah, high res mod got banned quickly after this, and rightfully so. The logic applies to today's D2R to some extent.

This was back in my slash/Diablo days, but still. Same exploitation.

Gotta remember, D2 is a 30yo game under the hood.

EDIT: im playing on UW 1440P and the black bars (albeit faded) are just fine. It keeps things fair.

Not a big fan of the Warlock during the leveling phase.

Curious how so, and to the extent (normal, nightmare, hell).

Every class (other then Pali, really) hits the farm wall, normally in late Nightmare.

Mines a lvl 1 mule atm, looking forward to walking it myself soon.
 
Man I'm having a blast, Warlock is definitely overtuned. You definitely want a staff with teleport charges so you can farm andy and meph. Already pretty geared up and you can just crush both of them on P8 no problem.

They need to do something with the half an hour terror zone thing, they need to give you at least 3 at a time. It just makes it less likely you're going to get a bad one. I can't be online all day and it's always a bummer when I can't do them. The material that makes whole acts terrorized is too rare for me to be running on my own so that doesn't work either. I'm basically back to standard farming because TZ I get all suck.
 
amazing all these old games are still getting new, official, content...Heretic and Hexen just did and now this.

if it wasn't for my Carpal Tunnel issues, i'd probably try this but man...I can't click like that anymore.

Resurrected added the ability to use a controller.
 
I never tried this with a controller but I actually preferred it in D4.
