Khorne posted:bow zons are one of the worst classes still despite being something lots of people are interested in. Javazon is still good but lacking in mobility. Multishot with the buriza rocked cows way back when. Murdered so many cows with that and a nova+static sorc. This was pre 1.10.

How come they're considered one of the worst? The damage fall behind on higher difficulties or something?

They're pretty much the embodiment of underperforming in pve. Khorne fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Sep 7, 2021 |

Miss my zon with 08 gaze, WF, perfect SS, soul spur, and whatever other gear I forget now. I could just run to Meph or through WSK without much issue. Took me forever in trades to get the sojs to trade for it all, most of which was probably duped, but it lasted until I quit sometime late in 1.10 latinotwink1997 fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Sep 9, 2021 |

I haven't played D2 in probably close to ten years, but planning to play D2:R upon release. I recall from my last play experience that I found the controls kind of clunky, largely in that you had to click around to move and then click again to attack, etc. Are there any control setups that alleviate this and perhaps use the keyboard, either for navigation or for attacking? I find the excessive left click aspect to be an annoyance, but also in my old age find that it causes a physical strain due to the repetitive action. I also read on previous pages about using a controller for playing and I'd be open to that if it's superior to the keyboard and mouse set-up that I currently have, but I don't own a controller (so please recommend one if the controller is the way to go).

I haven't tried it myself but reviews suggest controller support for the pc is good and the reworked controls work well. Two skills lose some basic functionality with controller though: teleport and multishot. So you have to consider if you're going to be running either of those

by most accounts controller support is excellent I think the cheapest controller option is an Xbox 360 controller, which should work with Windows out of the box and instantly

Is it easy to switch back and forth from controller to mouse+keyboard while in game? Like if I wanted to go to town and sell stuff and manage inventory, presumably that is easier with mouse.

And yea, the controller support is so drat good in this game.

I'm very curious to see how Uber Diablo will work on BNet. They're sticking to 75-125 SoJs sold, but no word on whether that is globally, per region or on a smaller number of servers like in legacy. 100 SoJs is a lot more in a post-dupe world on a more secure, closed BNet, but maybe it'll even out if they do it per region. That would make it a legitimate community event, where people would coordinate off-game to all be online and sell SoJs at a specific time.

IIRC the event works currently per game server, and game servers include ladder and non-ladder, so there was always a huge source of old, duped, gambled SoJs. Will be interesting how willing people are willing to part with them in the fresh economy, especially since they will be quite valuable.

coelomate posted:IIRC the event works currently per game server, and game servers include ladder and non-ladder, so there was always a huge source of old, duped, gambled SoJs. Each realm was split into hundreds of game servers, though, which is my point. There were lots more duped SoJs back in the day, but conversely, only 1/100th of US West or EU or whatever was contributing to the count in your game at any given time. If they scale up SoJ donations to cover a full geographical region, suddenly 100% of EU players can band together through off-game channels to pick a time and place to walk Diablo. I was wondering if a) that is indeed the solution and b) how the numbers would scale, in that case.

Can someone explain the whole sojs sold to merchants system?

codo27 posted:Can someone explain the whole sojs sold to merchants system? https://diablo.fandom.com/wiki/%C3%9Cber_Diablo the devs created an event in patch 1.10 that would cause "Uber Diablo" to spawn if a certain number of Stone of Jordan rings were sold to merchants Uber Diablo would replace the first "super-unique" monster that the players spawn, so something like Corpsefire inside the Den of Evil if you killed Uber Diablo, he would drop an Annihilus charm, which is a fairly powerful item for only taking up one inventory slot the whole thing relied on selling SoJs to merchants because the history of D2 meant that there was a lot of them floating around as a consequence of duping and botting, and the devs wanted to create a way to convince people to willingly "destroy" their rings in order to crack down on the supply presumably, since the economy in D2R is going to be "fresh", then keeping the Uber Diablo event exactly the same as it is will have a different context, because there won't be a lot of "excess" SoJs for people to give up

I knew about the uber part, weren't there other ubers in some epic tristram gauntlet or something? The actual selling of the sojs was what I was wondering about though, like you just sold them to the NPC merchants? Seems like such a ridiculous thing to do but the reasoning makes sense

codo27 posted:I knew about the uber part, weren't there other ubers in some epic tristram gauntlet or something? "Uber Tristram" is different from "Uber Diablo" - it kinda sucks because the terminology is imprecise and confusing Uber Diablo is the one that's triggered by selling SoJs to merchants, and spawns just the one guy, Uber Diablo, who drops the Annihilus small charm Uber Tristram is the one where you need to farm drops from Andariel, Duriel, and Izual in Hell difficulty, and then when you put them together, it summons a portal to Uber Tristram, where you fight Uber Baal, Uber Mephisto and... Pandemonium Diablo. And you get the Hellfire Torch large charm as a reward. This is an event that a player can theoretically always access with enough time and effort, though it's also a much harder event that Uber Diablo, and the Hellfire Torch isn't quite as universally useful as Annihilus, because the +3 skills is towards a specific class, rather than "all skills". codo27 posted:The actual selling of the sojs was what I was wondering about though, like you just sold them to the NPC merchants? Seems like such a ridiculous thing to do but the reasoning makes sense Yes, you just sold them to merchants. I figure it's something that the devs can watch for as an event trigger, while also making the SoJ completely unrecoverable (which is the point, remove them from the economy), without also needing to, say, code new NPC dialogue.

There’s less nomenclature confusion if you call the SoJ-spawned one “Diablo Clone”

That's why you get a couple friends together, divide your efforts to farm keys, then kill the ubers together several times and collect a bunch of torches

I decided to fire up D2 again in anticipation of Resurrected coming out and am definitely enjoying it again. Although I feel like I have been pretty lucky with drops so far which I know means I will get absolute crap once resurrected comes out. I just found a perfect Nagelring and 38MF blue ring going from River of Flame to Chaos Sanctuary lol.

Is there a good rundown on what all is changing when D2R drops? Like are all the legacy items on non-season battle.net about to get wiped out, like Valkyrie WIngs from 1.08? And preferably something that isn't laced with people's commentary.
