poe surpassed it about 13 years ago, retard. I say that as someone who played classic, lod on release and did grail challenges and probably had more than 10k+ hours put into d2. give credit where it's due

pd2 is alright but its starting to be more and more like poe and less like d2. I started with path of diablo 8 or so years ago and that project started as a small enhancement mode for d2 with a few small poe features. this shit evolved into some retarded cluster fuck. pd2 took over and nowadays its literally just poe 1 but uglier and with clunky mechanics. for some reason they also made the game, especially the campaign, way easier than its supposed to be. even on hc the whole progression is a joke.
just a reminder that arpgs are all supposed to be played in hc. dying is part of the experience. playing in sc is basically like playing with godmode "enabled".
I just got a "shitting spree" on "Unreal Excrement 2025," which is a parody variation of the game "Unreal Tournament" based on indian cultural practices. It utilizes the concept of a pipe connected to the anus of the virtual player, with a switch to change firing mode similar to how a garden hose sprayer works.
How has your day been?

To what end? Do you aim for hell or just do runs through normal/nightmare?
I can't imagine putting in genuine time and effort farming for gear just to take on hell.
its been surpassed every year since its launch. Its an outdated nostalgia game. Even xtimus stopped making D2 vids. This is the objective truth . You think blizzard doesnt want to make money? If they could make boatloads selling another fcking D2 copy or release anothre expansion they obviously would. No one would buy it except a few freaks.

they levels are barely procedural. Its impossible to get lost unless braindead. I remember when we used to play pen and paper RPGs in grade 3. We used to draw more complicated dungeon levels than anything in D2.
>>718599616 >To what end
it keeps you on edge, the game is actually quite easy as is and has no lose conditions in sc the game doesnt even make any sense. how can you "win" when you cant even "lose. even without trading it would take you only a day or two to farm up to be able to do pit runs in hell.
the easiest way to fix D2 is make the procedural levels way more complicated/ interested. Instead of adding N fucking layers of itemization horse shit. I wrote a maze generated in java in highschool that made 1000x1000 width mazes in like 30 lines of code for god sake. People memorize the map variants in D2. There are only less than 100. The game's for retards.
Softcore is a necessary evil since D2 is made for multiplayer and you have the lag problem and disconnects which can kill you unfairly. Apparently there's no other way, but imagine Diablo 1 story ... you're supposed to fear dying. At least lose all your gear. Monsters don't loot your powerful items for their own use? What bullshit is that. They should and use that buriza against you

They hated him because he spoke the truth. There is no loss condition in softcore. >>718596571 (OP)
Diablo 1 is unironically more fun, I played it just a few days ago. I find D2 to be tiresome now.

they know exactly how to make games. They have the best designers specifically targetting the maximum number of customers. They're HUGE. And at how greedy they are i'm sure they can sniff a dollar bill through a garden hose with that nose of theirs.
Let it go, son. The pain of a lost love is intense, I had the misfortune of experiencing it multiple times. Maybe you have as well, all you can do is pull yourself together.

reminds me of an idea I had back when Among Us was the hot shit. the "crewmates" would be janitors tasked with cleaning a facility, but one of them would secretly be a saboteur who would spray "chocolate" everywhere when nobody else is watching.
