Yeah, in the 10 reddit threads whining about no global chat most of the thread went like this:

"this game NEEDS a global chat"
"there shouldn't be global chat because it'll be awful and full of slurs"
"the slurs are the fun part"

I feel like global chat, as a concept, is on its last legs. People are way too racist, sexist, ableist, and misogynistic for large corporations to allow a carte blanche ability to spam a chatbox with swastikas.

It sucks because, as a primarily console gamer since 1996, I never had the capability to join the WOW chats of yore. Now that consoles have finally caught up, that poo poo is probably mostly dead.

I was ignoring all the sacred stuff on the ground, but it turns out I have to bring back truckloads of this poo poo for the vendor to afford to reroll things.

Nightmare Dungeons should really teleport you directly to the instance like GRs. It's a huge waste of time to ride the horsey out to each one, really interrupts the Diablo flow.

A million times this.
At least open like a red portal from town that goes right to it.
The best is when the NM you are clearing drops another key for itself. My record was 3 in a row.

Enchantment protip: if you have a good rare, enchant it first before imprinting an aspect. It's way cheaper to mod a rare than the legendary version.

The fact you can't enchant Uniques is idiotic as hell.

psa: kill all monsters rules in dungeons. skip the trash, nuke the elites, and when you hit the last elite pack “an enemy horde” of all missed non-elites teleports to you.

The trick is it feels great only if you ignore the objective. Obviously if you chase stragglers it’ll be slow and lame and you may not even get the teleport if you were thorough.

The best way to get unique items: Unique up on them

Also saw some complaining on the subreddit about how every dungeon has mobs that don't reward experience? I don't pay super close attention to my exp bar so I don't know if that's true, has anyone noticed?

I’ve only just finished Act 1, but every dungeon I’ve hosed around with has rewarded XP. Now sometimes, the mobs award like a sliver. But if you look at the xp bar as you kill them, you will notice that it will slightly increase.

I could be wrong though, because I’m not super far in. Only at level 13.

Edit: my eyes are laser focused on the xp bar as I allow my skeleton crew to mop up the lightweights.

I don't really understand how it's not supposed to be a sequel. It has new gameplay mechanics, new graphics, and a new campaign. Also a 2 in the name. And it might exist, unlike Overwatch 2.

picture this: it's 2001, and you're doing hell Baal runs with your Javazon. everything is going great. you've downed all the minibosses before the worldstone chamber, and now you're going in with everyone. baal is dying super fast, but he's killed some level 50-something sorc, and the bear druid keeps hitting the fake baals, not the real ones. but it's whatever, because before you know it, baal's at like 2% life when suddenly, out of nowhere, a bunch of bone walls go up, separating you and everyone else from all the drops. some rear end in a top hat necro scoops everything up and leaves the game.

His name?

I've heard the same thing, and I think people are referring to how it has the same style of endgame stuff? But with the mechanics reworks that will basically work completely differently.

i think the much more important topic of discussion is speculating about if Whoopi Goldberg ever took a d2 character to 99. surely there's a lot of downtime when you're working on a talk show?

Or do you think she lugged a CRT to the set of star trek nemesis?
