Do people still play Diablo 2?

Do people still play Diablo 2?

the genre got perfected by Dark Souls, there is no reason to play diablo anymore

wat

That'd be a nice drop, don't remember if those items were worth anything back in the day before hoto and all that.

looks like you could use that Duskdeep bro, cheers

iso ebotdzerk 400+ ONLY

>3 uniques in singleplayer

Jesus christ man that's not even fair.

total trash, it's on norm

I would be playing but multiplayer is dead and overrun by bots

Is this a troll? or just a copypasta?

Why Play diablo 2... When I can play lord of destruction?

>soulsdrones are this retarded

how new are you holy shit

I play on the /slashdiablo private server, they just reset the ladder not too long ago.

I still play median xl if that counts
vanilla d2: lod just feels incredibly slow now

Started playing again a few days ago. Currently building a Lightning/Energy Sorc

Retard alert

Same, first time doing diablo 2 multiplayer ever. Good times.

WW barb reportin in

Ethereal breath of the dying zerker axe.. so sexy

...

I didn't even look at that. I should boot up diablo 2 again.

doesn't mean shit if this isn't hardcore ladder kid

I never played diablo. Should I go multiplayer or just try singleplayer? Also what class?

>Get a lag spike
>40+ hours down the drain

No thanks

>running pindle with barb
>get distracted and die
>run back, spam warcry and let merc kill the zombies
>casually find another cham off one of them
Man 1.13 or whatever really boosted the rune drops

>getting into a situation where that could happen
Classic SC kids

If I wanted to be a tryhard I wouldn't even bother with a barb and just be generic hammerdin #204821

>tfw you log into multi and there only hammerdins

Anyone remember this?

Guess the site died, real shame.

>Vengeance
My fucking nigga
Vengeance pallies are my fucking favorite
They're obviously not the best but god damn they're satisfying and great in parties

multiplayer is nonexistant at this point.
get the 1.13 patch and plugy for singleplayer.

Geocities-tier sites were the best.

>spam unnecessary animated gifs of diablo casting a fire spell

If you want an easy class for beginners, try a necromancer focused on summoning skills.

>unironically getting lag spikes in 2001+15
git gud

>building anything but hammerdin

SC -and- useless in a party above shit tier n00bies

>Wanting him to give up at duriel

the gamemode should've been called only-playing-like-a-little-bitch mode.
Then you wouldn't have all these fags being all high and migthy about playing a gamemode called hardcore

What class doesn't suffer at Duriel?

>get to Diablo
>Fire Nova

forgot the most important one

Barbie

This is actually pretty accurate.

Wew lad
Now THIS is shitposting xD

No it isn't

>i have ADHD and need to bumrush everything with no consequence to it

But it is though. The Souls games took everything great about the diablo games, added in a story worth paying attention to, got rid of the boring nasty shit (ie grinding), and voila - diablo for the next generation.

I'm sorry you're so old and out of touch you simply refuse to see how Souls is literally an improvement and continuation of diablo in every way.

Diablo 2 is a loot treadmill.
Dark Souls is an action RPG with emphasis on action.
Fuck off.

>Souls is literally an improvement and continuation of diablo in every way

Nope, you missed the point entirely about Diablo and Dark Souls. It's kind of sad you've withered them down into nothing but buzzwords. I hope you can become happy some day instead of this memespouter LOOT TREADMILL RPG ACTION XDD

I never understood the appeal of loot treadmills like Diablo 2 and Borderlands. Doesn't it get boring doing the same shit over and over for a tiny percent chance at a marginal improvement of your current gear?

Saved both pastas

No

I haven't played d2 in a solid decade, and I had a dream the other day where a vex rune dropped. Still got excited.

It's boring as shit at times, but sometimes you just get cravings for it.
Or you don't. Fine either way, really.

It's like a fetish
Either you get it or you don't
Either you understand the appeal of banging your head against the wall until you get that perfect drop, or you don't.

Never played before, but I'm going through it with a good friend at the moment. I'm pretty terrible at this genre so I'm just trying to support his druid with sorceress (and by that I mean spam novas and lightning bolts while he smacks everything).
Any tips on how I can better pull my weight?

I didn't really play this game when I was a kid and I played it seriously not too long ago using the toon that spams circular hammer. Didn't get what was so fun about it so after I finished the story I uninstalled it.

well baited, broseph

I upgraded to Diablo 3. Was pretty fun when Inferno was hard and it paid for itself dozens of times over if you were good in HC with that sweet 6:1 gold conversion rate.

It got worse over time with several misguided updates and patches, but it's still pretty fun overall. Wish I could say the same for D2 but the superior gameplay has spoiled me. How good is Median XL? I'm tempted to give that a whirl.

>toon

I forgot drops changed on higher difficulties

Thank you bb but I wasn't finished yet.

What Diablo's old fans are so afraid of is a change in genre. They refuse to play games that are more than just spamming macros because that's all their lives have become.

If they were truly wise, they would wake up and realize the Souls series is Diablo. There is no difference outside of format. There's a bad guy, there's a good guy, there's some fire, shit is always dark, there's a loser npc, and there are always a bunch of old people. There is no difference except in name. For all I know quite frankly, and this is where it gets a little crazy, the japanese dark souls developers might not actually be japanese, and were just the american diablo devs who got a tan.

I won't even read that, the joke was perfect with your opening post, but now you're overextending it.

I think it's about repetition, but in a good way.
You enjoy the gameplay/leveling/building new chars enough to want to do it over and over again. And the game not only lets yo do that but also encourages it.
Nowadays many games try to do this but few actually are good at it.

If you're going with lightning skills, just put points in Lightning and spam it.

More like they just get additions
Fuck you Isenhart for shitting up so many of my baalruns

>Playing Hammerdin

>tfw lagromancer still lags the shit out of servers
fuck yall

Currently waiting for the next Path of Exile expansion, Essence looks like trash for Autismcrafters, but the Atlas looks lovely.

>the joke
But it's reality, I don't know why you continue to refuse reality? Oh, you're one of those fags that go "hhehheh ur just baiting" when the other person is offering their legitimate view on things? Are you that narrow minded and self centered you can't even read another viewpoint? Holy shit now I understand why Blizzard wanted to find a new target demographic - you diablo fans are the most cancerous group on the planet.

blame blizzard
>no necro no fun

>Souls games
>added story
I swear, every time I think I've figured out Soulsdrones, they come up with some new bullshit.

Replying to you for the sake of bumping a diablo thread

>offering their legitimate view on things
>another viewpoint
>refuse reality
You're a fucking idiot.
Fuck off

>Diablo: kill a demon, game over
>Souls: a heartwrenching story about queens and kings, how nothing is forever but simultaneously everything is due to cycles
Point very much proven. DiabloDuds not wanted.

No you fucking idiot.
Diablo was always about loot. In Souls you can literally beat the game with fists and your dick dangling around. Souls games are about player skill, Diablo is about statistics.

>kill a demon, game over
Wut. I thought the whole point of Diablo was to kill demons. Why would it give you a game over for killing one?

Jokes on you, this thread dies without me. I'm a robin.

>wahh wahh wahh I can't stand when people have opinions
Congratulations, you're a 4 year old!

Diablo was NEVER about the loot you fucking moran. It was ALWAYS about the journey, the friends you made, the trades you encountered. Oh, I'm sorry, probably not your dumb anti-social ass!

This is an advanced level of what the fuck are you talking about.

>tfw you never get rare runes and the rarest you've ever gotten is a Gul

>he never stayed a while and listened
It's your loss.

Who gives a shit about friends, it was all about the loot, cool people were just a bonus.

Which is all founded upon the basic principle of searching for more fucking loot.

You made friends looking for loot
You traded with the loot you were looking for
The journey was about THE LOOT.

scratches the same itch as mmos.

Now to wait for some epic smartman to say skinner box

No, the mobs weren't demons they were actually insects. The demons controlled the insects, but they weren't actually the insects. Hence, once you killed the actual head demon (or one of them), the game ends. But, fortunately, the character has alzheimers and therefore you have to run around again and again and again, continually killing the demon because you forgot.

>Diablo was NEVER about the loot you fucking moran

It was literally all about the loot without any doubt whatsoever. wtf are you talking about

>No, the mobs weren't demons they were actually insects.
You're thinking of Devil May Cry 4 here, mate.

he watched a video saying it. I cant find it but I know where he formulated his opinion form

I feel bad for you guys, very materialistic even though the game doesn't try to be so. I hope some day your materialism is fixed, it's not healthy!

Diablo 2 is nothing like Borderlands or even Diablo 3. You were generally looking for specific unique items, not items with marginal improvements, which I agree is boring and pointless. It's more comparable to a slot machine than a treadmill.

Dude, please fuck off. Use your bait in some other threads, I just wanted to ask if gems are ever worth inserting into anything or do you just sell them all.

Was I? Could have sworn it was Diablo. Are you sure you don't wind up fighting a twin like figure in Act 3?

But wasn't the ultimate goal of Diablo 2 to have gear with the correct number of sockets for the rune words? I thought there was nothing better than that, other than a few green sets. It's still treadmill, and it's something I'll never understand.

Hint: From my own brain

no you go fuck off back to google for answers to such fucking basic questions
>wahh why aren't people focusing on me
maybe because you're a dumb boring piece of shit

If you mean shit like diamonds and rubies then I believe some people like buying them, I think I used to trade like 40 Perfect Gems for a decent rune, you can also check out some recipes for the Horadric cube since some of them use a few gems.

The runes themselves were exceptionally rare, so it was a big deal when you find them. You spend so long searching for good shit you get excited when it actually happens, and that's all part of the experience. Or you could just be active in the community and trade for them. I guess it's not for everyone.

>Played Diablo 2 for literally 10,000 hours
>Highest rune I ever found was Gul

99.99999% of all high runes were duped.

Ten THOUSAND hours.

Chaos Sanc Runs >>>>>>>>>>>>> Baal runs

Aight niggers, what's your favourite runeword?

Mine is the one that has a chance to proc a fuckton of spells on hit. It's fairly subpar, but it's so fun.
