I reinstalled D2 yesterday after years of not playing (and playing D3 instead). It didn't age terribly but the resolution is really bad and therefore my mouse scrolling is hyper sensitive. Do a lot of folks still play this? I just fired up single player so I could use the players x command. I never really traded too often before anyway and last time I tried it was a ton of bots spamming chat.

Star Man posted:Playing alone on Battle.net is essentially the same as single player, but you lose access to players x and are at the mercy of network issues. You can create a new game with a password to keep strangers and bots out or set a level restriction that will keep most bots out of your game since they tend to use level one characters. Sounds like I'm really missing out.  It's been awhile so I'll probably go through it all on my own instead of getting rushed.

I definitely don't look back fondly at playing online and trying to click the fastest on Baal runs. It was always funny watching ranged characters get close to him when he had a sliver of life left and then they'd die just before he did.

My introduction to the series started with 2 and by doing that you won't want to go back to 1. It plays so much slower that will make it difficult IMO.

George posted:Itemization is still the worst part of D3 and the thing they’re refusing to fix for D4. No thank you. It's still in an early state and they're taking feedback from the community via the quarterly updates pretty well all things considered. While I agree that the early itemization looked questionable at best, I think blizzcon had placeholder poo poo in there more or less. I'm hoping they can turn it around but it's not the same company as it used to be so TBD. Really hoping the demonic and angelic power bullshit is either scrapped or somehow made interesting and good. I probably have more hours into d2 and d3 than any other series by a wide margin so I'm hopeful it'll be decent.

I look at D3 as just a more streamlined experience vs. D2. In D2 you just spend a lot of time with lovely items and grinding for better ones doing the same poo poo over and over again. In D3 you grind similarly (but...different? Doing rifts or random maps repeatedly vs. running the same boss run for loot) but you get good stuff way faster. Then you're OP as gently caress teleporting around the map in no time blowing up everything so it's still fun in a different way to me at least. It strips away the bullshit with the campaign and you just can grind as you like and kill stuff to get more loot and more powerful. There may be more character building and choices in D2 with skill points and attributes but for end game it's really the same to me. There's an aspirational best in slot item for every slot which already determines what your build and points will be for the most part. It's just an illusion of choice, IMO. If you're just playing it through the campaign or whatever that's less relevant/true I suppose. How they design the game and items to not be that, I don't really know. And I don't know if that would in itself make things worse.

I know the d3 story better than poe at least. I can't be bothered to even try with that poo poo and question why I'm fighting curtains. I only really did the campaign at launch and can't remember much anymore, thankfully.

Khorne posted:D2 runs amazing in a VM. You can create a windows xp vm with a 1 core limit, 512mb of RAM (or probably less), and no gpu pass through and the game will run identical to a modern gaming pc. This reminded me that my first computer part upgrade was adding ram to the family gateway desktop from 32 to 64mb (maybe? It's been awhile) so I could enjoy d2 without choppy fps.

Can't comment on that but I'm surprised how much I'm liking PoD. Made a bow zon and slog0lging my way through hell currently. All solo except somebody had to help me kill duriel on normal because my build flat out couldn't do it. Killed him in hell tonight and was pissed raven frost did nothing against his aura. Been super lucky getting a shako and travs while leveling. Nodrop is awesome and wouldn't play vanilla again without it.

Anybody have any advice on how to progress in PoD as a bowazon? Here's my dude. https://pathofdiablo.com/p/armory/?name=Larrymer I have about 11 ooc for trade stuff and maybe a gul but not sure where to go. I have a tal's and andy's helm in my stash and only 1 passive and 1 bow skills GC. Right now damage seems lacking and I can't do much more than hell cows farming wise. Even then it's a bit slow.

My quitting D1 point: I made it about 4 floors deep and died to the butcher, then realized I'd never saved the game prior to that point.

Lol at playing action rpgs for the story. I don't remember hardly anything from 2 or 3 but yes 3 was much worse. Diablo with tiddies is pretty funny, however.

Zaphod42 posted:Not wanting to have a dumb as rocks story doesn't mean you're playing diablo "for the story" Meh, whatever. Glad you can get triggered because some internet fellow plays games different than you or has a differing opinion. But sure, put paragraphs of poo poo I didn't say in my mouth. I can't say I gave 2 shits about what's happening in poe (or grim dawn ) when I played through it though despite skipping the dialog and cut scenes whatever happening is absurd. For a game that is mostly about endgame and getting loot with a ton of repetition I can't say story really matters all that much to me. The gameplay and those things matter more so I'll forgive dumb story beats. Would it be nice if it weren't? Sure but I just don't care as long as the rest of gravy.

I'd like if they made skill hotkeys cast the skill rather than having to right click again. Just make qol stuff toggleable and it's a win for everyone. Otherwise if I play I'll play with a controller. Looks to be a better control scheme from what I've seen.

If they can make it work with a controller, then it can be done on a keyboard. Why make using one input an advantage vs the other?

Mesadoram posted:Now they have the ability to reset your points and tree. Granted it is not infinite but it will prevent newer players from loving themselves over in nightmare/hell Don't you need to be able to farm the respec things from hell bosses? So if you use all 3 before you're good enough to beat all the bosses you're kinda still hosed.

gradenko_2000 posted:completing the Den of Evil quest gives you a respec from Akara, so that's three for a character with zero farming That's the 3 I'm referring to in my post. I'm just saying that if a new person respecs a couple times (as they may very well need to do being new) before being able to end game farm bosses in hell then they may have burned all their chances outside of starting another character to farm them on.

Sorc was always the first class I used to gather gear then play the one you really want to play. Feels like most classes are so gear dependent outside of necro and sorc. Probably why I never had near as much play time with the others.

I don't remember why people didn't like it but I had fun playing a few games with a friend before forgetting about it again.
