http://www.polygon.com/2016/3/11/11203878/diablo-ii-patch-blizzard-entertainment
Going for #1 Necro cuz no one plays dat shit
Barbar master race
>>337874263
Dang I guess not many people are interested. It's still good though.
>>337874839
It's the only game I come back to every year.
For the past 16 years
>>337874263
going for #1 sorc!
I'm pretty hype for this.
SC:BW update when?
Ha ha. Just kidding.
But for real. Smite pallies.
Is battle.net still gonna be functional or filled with bots and hacked characters?
SHIT WHAT BUILD DO I PLAY???
>>337875546
>>337874516
Sorceress master race!
>my waifu
>>337875926
singing barb
>>337875586
the first week will be relatively botless.
play hardcore
>>337876175
Sadly hardcore is pretty much dead. Virtually no open games after a month or two while softcore was very active all the way up to today.
>>337876565
US East HC has is and has been active
>>337874263
Such a fucking subtle cuck pic.
>White men dead
>Women stranded, scared
>Glorious black man arriving to save the day
>>337874263
Have fun playing with bots and getting timed out by warden all the fucking time. That shit accumulates too, up to weeks. Abandoned game, don't let these patches fool you.
>>337875546
>going for #1 sorc!
If you don't bot you stand literally zero chance of getting sorc or pally
>>337877092
as it should be
>>337877092
Man you got some problems
>start d3 thread
>nearly caps
>start d2 thread
>dozen replies before 404
glad we can now confirm that d3 is superior.
>>337877440
yeah..
really hope him and his ilk are trolling
>>337874263
Is there any way to up the resolution after all these years? Would play again if so.
>>337875979
>no underboob
So we know the realm down time but when will the ladder go live?
>>337877785
just confirms that this board is filled with children who never experienced real diablo
>>337876565
I was playing in March and hardcore is populated enough to be comfy and able to get shit done. I temporarily quit until this ladder reset because I was dying too much and I needed to breath for a bit.
>>337876565
>>337878668
Yup
People definitely still play Hardcore
>>337876871
>>337878668
>>337879335
I played a barb us east HC around feb/march then switched over to SC late april and the difference was staggering. I prefer the thrill of HC but SC is so much more active.
>playing Skellie Necro
>get to the maggot lair
I dotn know if you guys can help me here. I bought D2 and later the xpac both shortly after they launched.
When I tried to register the CD keys on my blizzard account a couple years ago there literally arent enough digits/letters in my cd key to enter to register it now.
I have actual physical copies still but blizzard wont let me use them?
Oh cool. Unfortunately I don't have much spare time at the start of this reset. Still, I might do a new playthrough in the next couple weeks. I've done a sorceress and necromancer before, what else is viable for beating hell on hardcore with shit gear (don't want to log onto d2jsp if I can help it)?
>>337880486
I had that same problem last year and youll need to go on blizzards classic games forum.
Take a photo of both of your cd keys and send them to one of the moderators and they will register it for you. Takes a couple of days, they're slow.
>>337880859
Good ol conc barb if you dont mind taking your time.
Now I have to play hardcore with no help from enchantresses, fuck.
>>337880859
zealadin
>>337882096
>implying
maybe /v/ will havefunand make a group or something on steam once word gets around
or maybe not and i'll just kill myself trying to play HC alone
>>337881175
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'll pass on that one; I don't think I'd find that build fun.
Are you guys playing on hardcore useast?
>>337874263
>barb dead
>sorc and amazon hiding behind pillar
>paladin showing up last with no clue whats going on
>necro the only one really doing any work
seems accurate
>>337882573
Yup. USEast is more populated
Protip: Play Necro/Druid/Assassin to become #1 since no one really plays em'
>>337883098
>assassin
>>337882495
There'll be plenty of people to play with in pubs
>a2 comfiest town?

tfw when nu blizzard ruined diablo 2 by adding free respecs

Imagine being a Necromancer in that scene and having to be all like "damn, Andariel, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific androgynous monster face. I would totally have sex with you, both my golems and the real me." when all you really wants to do is fuck another Blood Raven in her crypt. Like seriously imagine having to be a Necromancer and try to keep mana potions down while Andariel flaunts her disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing her stretchmarks and leathery skin, and just sit there, bone spear after bone spear, skeleton after skeleton, while she perfected that poison nova. Not only having to tolerate her monstrous fucking visage but her haughty attitude as everyone in hell tells her she's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, ANDARIEL LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch her mannish fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of sorceresses and amazons and later alleged barbarians for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the bony-s in Rathma. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on her dimpled stomach as she sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get loot to sit there and throw skeletons at her "statuesque (for that is what she calls herself)" beauty, the beauty she worked so hard for with hero-editor trainers in the previous months. And then Cain calls for another Andy run, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the Rogue Encampment could find your phylactery, but you sit there and endure, because you're a fucking Necromancer. You're not going to lose your uniques over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it
>>337878187
windowed mode master race
>>337884230
I hope you know the 3 Den respecs and stat elixirs were added by nu Blizzard.
>>337883315
....but that's how you spell assassin.
>>337875252
I haven't seen this image before and it looks like the game CGI cinematics.
Where is this from famalam?
>>337884452
stat elixers? the fuck you talking about willis
>>337884872
google diablo 2 fan art
>>337885135
it's modern blizzard, they like to water their games down with convenience
all the while cheered on by the casual masses
>>337884252
lol thx for the oc m8
>>337885135
I'm stupid I was thinking of Diablo 1 elixirs because I was just playing it. But I meant respec.
>>337885235
There are no stat elixers in diablo 2.
>>337885326
how does respec ruin anything?
it just saves you the time of rerolling the same char if you fuck up your build
>>337885541
here we go with the idiots who prefer skipping the game instead of playing it again
what's next? raid finder? arrow on the HUD telling you where to go? welfare loot?
>>337885541
leveling doesn't take that long in this game and respecs kind of make it harder to find people to level with, especially since the playerbase is already a fraction of what it used to be
>>337885945
I find that since gear is heavily build dependent that most people just use respecing to maximize their attributes more than anything. Changing an entire build is never very viable except on MF sorcs.
>>337885541
I don't know man, I'm supportive of respecs. I sure as fuck don't want to work towards a specific build but spend the first 50 levels being useless.
>>337885763
I wouldn't mind extra respec microtransaction or stash space for a couple of bucks
>>337886364
>bigger and better reaction with D3Exp than with D2
Yeah nah, you are a cunt.
>>337875586
>SC:BW update when?
>Ha ha. Just kidding.
you sound like the biggest faggot i've ever fucking seen anywhere. Holy shit
>>337886364

>>337876175
>using blizzard vs duriel
>>337884230
If anything fucked D2 up it was synergies.
I can already see the shitstorm this game would cause on /v/ if it were released today.
>stronk amazon to appease the SJWs
>nigger paladin
>sassy black sorceress
>>337888043
Not Amazon, she has those skin tight Amazonian tits and melon crushing thighs
>>337887971
>before synergies
>max your last skill in every tree then trip balls with the rest
>after synergies
>actually have to use a group of skills that are thematically related because you have to level them anyway for synergy with your one OP skill
The system was inherently flawed but synergies were actually an improvement
>>337888225
Fine, dyke assassin then.
>>337874263
Proof that blizzard was SJW cucks their entire life, in that image. White males dead and dying, 2 women hiding and beckoning black dude to come save (and fuck) them.
>>337886364
get this hook the FUCK OUTTA MY CHEEK
>>337888554
more like proof /pol/ has brainwashed you
>>337888554
So the real evil was redskins all along?
>>337874263
>paladin being a clueless fucktard letting everyone die
Well, it's not wrong
god damn.... anyone want to start necromancer team on EU?
>>337874263
>a polygon link
you are a fucking c uck OP, go kill yourself
>>337889146
Jesus
This site is literal cancer
>>337889630
So is Polygon. Now fuck off back to wherever you came from.
>>337889630
Then leave faggot, no one's asking you go stay
>>337888285
>but synergies were actually an improvement
No, they weren't. D2 always had problems with having options that were far shittier than others in every way, but synergies made it so much worse and made almost every single viable build into boring, one-note gameplay.
>>337890913
>I want to melee shit with my sorceress until I can finally 20/20 that frozen orb
At least synergies provide some actual early game.
I want to do something that isnt a javazon or hammerdin. What are fun sorc/barb/druid builds?
Post your favorite
>>337891446
Are you implying that you don't save your points anyways? If anything it's the new respecs that allow that.
>>337887971
What the fuck is a syngery?
I haven't played Diablo 2 in a few years but I assumed it was about the same game?
>>337892095
If you want to PvE id go with a Light Sorc for key finding and a Frenzy Barb for uber killing/pvp
A good frenzy barb is expensive af though.
Id stick with a blizz sorc till you can get shaco viper arachnid occulus magefist and then respec to a sorc and do key runs till you can afford 2 grief for a frenzy barb
>>337892417
Stupid bullshit that was added by a patch that means that points in a skill can buff other skills. It sounds good on paper, but in reality the game was rebalanced around them so good luck ever getting a skill to matter without investing every point but a tiny handful in synergy skills.
