Finally beat D2 Hell difficulty on Hardcore

>Finally beat D2 Hell difficulty on Hardcore
D2 thread to celebrate. What class you guys playing? Going to play the ladder reset coming up?

I'll bump some d2. Might take a summoning nigger necro to hell. Not hardcore though. Don't want to get fucked by bnet lag.

Congrats. What class did you use?
What was your worst near death experience? Was it on battle net or single player?

Ladder reset is usually end of November. Did I miss it?

Necro is my boy and yes I'll be playing. I think I've made over 100+ Necros over the years, its ridiculous

Hammerdin because I'm a fag. But to be honest, solo leveling a hammerdin when you're not trading items was really annoying. They don't really start to shine until the end of the game, and the magic immune monsters in the throne room in Hell was awful to fight through. Going to play through with other classes in HC as well eventually.

Almost died a couple of times to those slow zombie guys in act 5 that suddenly rush at you. Got a bit messed up by the council members that spawn in the throne room. Act bosses were mostly straight forward because I found a kelpie snare for my merc so they were slow as shit.

Was playing on Battle net but playing solo. From now on I'll probably just play offline using plugy to have the bnet only things. The occasional lag spike was noticeable.

I heard it's December 12th.

Classic D2

I have a job now so I can't race the ladder. Been a good run, boys.

Come the fuck on user, I've been playing this since release and had jobs since ~2005+. Don;t tell me that you lost contact with all your school friends with who you played this?

Best rune you found with this hammerdin?
How long did it take you to finish up to hell difficulty?

Not him but I've lost contact with every vidya e-friend I had. Only people I play with these days are IRL friends well I got to play Diablo one year but they don't want to ladder run. Diablo was my childhood game not theirs so they don't have the same attachment.

>playing d2 with friends
Must be nice to have friends ;_;

I see. I still play with some high school friends from time to time. We're all in our 30s now so its not exactly the same but its still pretty entertaining. Nothing like doing chaos run until you hear your friend's daughter crying over discord and know that its time to take a break to go check ho yours is doing.

Found an Um but didn't actually use it.

I was playing pretty safe so Hell was fairly slow. Did a lot of random runs all over the place to have rejuv potions all the time.

Well that is very interesting. Thanks for telling about your experience. What level were you at the end?

Level 82, probably going to keep playing a bit up until the ladder reset just to see how far I can go. Might try a trap assassin after the reset, or maybe a frozen orb sorc.

Did it legit with my Barb. Was carried through Hell act 5 with my Ass because gloams too scary and she was never finished.

Love my Barb proudest shit click rpg character I've ever made.

What build?

Why play this when D3 exists? Ray Wilson is gone, RoS is here, Rift, Necro and legendary gems. You have no excuse to not switch over now, or lemme guess "D-d-d-d2 is h-h-harder and more 1337" fuck outta here.

Bait, but I'll humor you

My main gripe with d3 is the loot
in d2 loot meant something it's hard to explain but 99.999% of all humans who ever lived will never ever see a Zod rune drop legit

>wanting to artificially extend the game via ridiculous drop rates
WE MMO NOW

This is an awful post.
