Thread 723479751

Do I need mods or is it just fine vanilla? Mostly for the controls. I played the "remaster" but wanted to visit the OG.

Go project d2 for a vanilla+ experience, wasd controls and other qol are great, the usual mod powercreep stuff doesn't hit too hard untill lategame

>>723479751 (OP)
there is no point playing the original if you've played d2r. it's the same game minus qol features.

Unrelated to any of the above, if you haven't tried the Reimagined mod for D2R, consider giving it a go. It's obviously NOT a vanilla experience, not even vanilla adjacent, but the sheer amount of new gear and build variety is condensed crack cocaine.

>>723479751 (OP)
Play the OG, and don't patch it up to the pre LoD patch. Stop at 1.06 or something like that.

>>723480023
Seconded. The original is obsolete.

What about Median XL?

>>723479751 (OP)
Any mod for the OG diablo 2 to turns point and click movement to wasd movement?

>>723479751 (OP)
The only thing I use is svenwrapper to make the frames smoother on modern monitors, otherwise it just works and still holds up just fine.

I think playing original D2 with PlugY is better than D2R.
That's only with PlugY though

You need an increase drop rate mod if you do not suffer from autism
Maybe increased exp too if you want to get to 99 after finishing the game without grinding for 2000 hours

>>723481209
>just cheat bro
You didn't beat the game. Not even on normal.

>>723481209
uhh just use hero editor and give yourself levels and loot

>>723480327
I used to fuck with MedianXL a lot back in the day, highly recommend. There are all sorts of side shit you can do for extra gear and some badass challenges that really breathe new life into the game.

why is there a bot making daily threads about diablo 2? Is 4 getting new content soon?

Just press the fucking 'g' key you retarded nigger cock enthusiast.

Shut up blizcuck. It's censored woke garbage. Press the kill yourself key

>>723481209
increased drop rate mod makes the game so much more enjoyable these days. I can actually play through a character without getting bored to shit running pindle/bosses for loot just to clear hell

>>723482475
You can press a single key to get Original graphics.

>>723484223
the original graphics were censored

>>723482071
I played it December last year. It's a one and done game, but good while it lasts. One of those "wish I could forget everything and play it for the first time again".

>>723483236
What's the problem with Hellfire? The monk is cool and search items is very welcome QoL spell

>>723479751 (OP)
>I played the "remaster" but wanted to visit the OG
What is the OG? Diablo II before LoD? The patch before they added in skill cool downs? The initial LoD patch with limited rune words? The patches that added synergies and the more busted rune words?

>>723482071
Diablo 1 is the best one. It isn't some loot treadmill game. You just go down the dungeon and beat it. Then play it again some other year unlike the other entires that want you to continually play and grind for items.

>>723485171
Any other ARPGs like this? I already tried TQ and POE2

>>723484406
It's fun, better with the hidden stuff. But still a pretty non diablo styled game made by Sierra. But people complained about Diablo 3, so hey.

>>723479751 (OP)
>I played the "remaster" but wanted to visit the OG.
They play the same.

>>723485229
Torchlight and Torchlight 2 are great

No point for the original, Resurrected is superior

>>723484234
Seriously? What was censored?

Can somebody show me a list of the censors? I see some changes in clothing, but that does not matter since your armor is changed in like 1 second in game.
Is the whole complaining about Sorcerer not having the smallest underboob in the world?

>>723480198
this but opposite

>>723485361
idk i tried it recently but the art style turned me off and i refunded

>>723485229
Diablo 1 isn't ARPG or hack'n'slash. Roguelikes are much more similar to it but still not quite there. It's like a highly experimental game that was never directly copied. All games inspired by it only took some elements while discarding the others. Like Phantasy Star Online has the descent from surface to alien hell, but dungeons are reset every game session and you need to grind in order to progress.

>>723484024
Oh nooooo you can't goon to Andariel's pixelated tits? Cry me a fucking river you retarded nigger lover. You're so fucking useless and retarded that you can't figure out how to even install the original game, hence your gay and retarded thread, hence me telling your mongoloid-ass to just press the fucking 'g' key and be done with it.

Shoot yourself in both kneecaps, sit around for 3 hours in agony, then put the gun to your temple and pull the trigger, faggot.

>>723485415
>turned the honourable, melanin enriched gentleman into some post-Wakanda nigger caricature from racist newspapers

>>723485229
No clue, haven't played enough of the genre. The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers game for the GBA is all about progressing forward. You don't go to a waypoint and then warp near loot grinding spots, you continually push forward into the story. There's also no online multiplayer with an economy so you only get items for yourself. The end game is literally just beating the final boss and then looping the game again at a higher difficulty level to do one continuous play through again. So you get what you want out of the game within the first to even second "harder" play through. There's also different characters with their own skills that you can pick up for other runs.

The largest flaw about the game is that it is LotR so you'll see plenty of orc enemies, but I guess that plays into a one or two loop play through.

>>723481920
>d1 players are contrarians
Fixed that for you buddy. If you shit on d2 in the same breath as praising d1 you expose yourself. There isn't one person who was alive at the time who did this.

>>723485590
Why are you so upset that he doesn't want to pay for a product?

>>723481920
>d2 players are mentally ill retards who love grinding for 0.01% more player power
No? You mostly grind for the chance to get a considerable power boost either through runes, uniques or set items. The sort of low percentage impartments that you're talking about only happens at low levels and maybe on a difficulty change, or if you already have the best gear in the game and you want to get a better roll for its stats (which most people don't)

>>723485748
Two Towers and Diablo 1 really aren't all that similar as games

>>723485760
Back when D2 came out piracy wasn't so good, good games were scattered across several consoles (none of which could be emulated), and when it came to buying or renting games, people were at the mercy of what retailers would put on the shelves in the first place. Things were much worse in non-English speaking countries, where publishers translated and distributed only a small selection of games. So being grindy and seemingly endless like D2 was seen a boon.

>>723479942
I love PD2 but
> usual mod powercreep stuff doesn't hit too hard untill lategame
is comically false. normal and nightmare are even more of a joke in PD2 thanks to:
- No penalty to defense for running (v big deal early game)
- Melee splash damage (huge for those classes)
- Items like clubs have +skill mods thrown on them making their sell value inflated making early game gold completely trivial
- Almost every skill is stronger compared to base game
- Double the inventory size

and likely even more things I've forgotten.

but yes, PD2 if you want convenience and to play on a controller and are ok with it being babby mode until the post-game; original for the original experience

>>723486418
Those are some pretty big changes if you ask me, especially removal of the pentagrams, you know, diablos symbol?

>>723484223
false. they look like complete dogshit compared to running the real game natively.

>>723481506
medianXL is basically a completely different game in almost every way

>>723486418
critical to stop the horrific false narrative that the game looks remotely as decent in D2R legacy graphics as simply running the game natively on your computer.

I hate modern video games so much.

>>723479942
You should try Path of Diablo if you want the best community experience.

>>723487023
you brought this upon yourself everybody warned you to not play that version of the game

>>723487172
To be fair you retards were too busy sperging over a statue in act 2 to mention the always online faggotry

>>723479751 (OP)
Just play the original as it is you fucking casual.

>>723487254
Don't you have internet?

>>723486853
It really isn't when you're playing it. I don't know why people are pretending like these are huge changes just because of the motivation for making them. It's gay as fuck, but it doesn't even register when you're playing the game. I wonder how many people talking about it have actually played Diablo 2 at all

>>723485814
>I played the remaster

You didn't even read the OP? He already paid for it, shithead.

>>723487703
The implications of censoring a symbol is still gay and I'm not gonna pay 40$ for a cucked version I can play for free.

>>723486418
>Pentagrams
There are currently pentagrams in the game, so I guess they went back on that

>>723486076
While it isn't a dungeon delve and it is continual progression without going back along with skill trees, there's still leveling up and picking up items and equipping them.

>>723487821
>The implications of censoring a symbol is still gay
Agreed, though pentagrams have since been patched in, because they were there when I played it

>>723487891
Cant find one.

I still play eastern sun sometimes

Wait I know an ARPG game that exactly fits this bill

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance

Never mind. The one I was thinking of, the burning one in act 1, isn't actually a pentagram, just a star. Pretty gay

Exactly why it's mandatory.

>>723480856
>I think playing original D2 with PlugY is better than D2R.
Why? D2 is unironically better with gamepad. Plus D2R devs didn't nerf anything but buffed everything useless. D2R also fixes Iron Golem bug which as I remember is unfixable in D2 and improved summon AI. The only controversial part is charms that let you to bypass immunities on hell.

>>723488819
play PD2 if you want more loots and shinies, it's set to the equivalent loot of having 5 players in the game

>>723488304
I really got to play those PS2 games sometime.

>>723488891
D2R has mosaic which is so powerful that it is simply the best at virtually every single piece of content by a wide margin. Yes, hammerdins and sorcs were strong but had different things they can and can't do; mosaic does everything the best by a gross margin

>>723489014
mosaic is strong but absolute garbage to play and you can only get it on ladder

>>723489014
I mean there's little reason to not pick certain classes on a fresh account/season but I still gravitate towards Barbarian. Just because one build with items is stupidly powerful doesn't mean everyone will have a min/max mindset and always pick the best.

>>723486418
Hilarious that showing a bit of skin on a woman is grounds for censorship but the male barbarian wearing nearly nothing is okay.

tips on modding pirated D2R?

>>723485415
they sanitized the pygmy fuckers in act 3 by giving them dumb triangle faces and removing the human soup cauldrons. I only found out by playing it so there's probably much less macabre stuff in general.

>>723489673
I still have no idea why because you can see tied and butchered naked girls in-game. I think it was full frontal nudity even. In act 2.

I played a little eastern sin back in the day.
D2 resurgence is good.
Never tried path of diablo.
Currently playing PD2 on steam deck since it has controller support.
D2 resurrected had some really shitty char art, and some weird new sound added, but the graphics were cool for 2 playthroughs before i just went back to the OG.

>>723495218
In the average time it takes for a high rune to drop, a player would have by then purged all the shitty gems out of their stash due to filling it up with better gear.
The only reason to keep chipoed or flawed gems around is to recharge items, and even that is very niche and usually just for teleport staves.

>>723494098

No, you can also upgrade Runes with them or use them in trading. Besides, you can/should use alts as stashes when your hared stash is filled up

>>723496823
in the beginning you should pick up all the runes you can find
after you made your first perfect spirit sword you should stash the remaining runes into a mule for later use once you roll for your monarch
at some point the only runes you should pick are vex runes and above with hel runes being the lone exception
in non-ladder the main trading resource are jah runes, doesn't matter if you're on traderie or d2jsp; ist runes are just throwaway cheap runes and everything is on jah economy
ladder is pointless unless you want the new runewords

What's funny about it? Everyone has a use for them, since they can be combined, so they're accepted as currency. They're not worth much, which is why you'd need a whole lot in any sort of worthwhile trade, but they're still valid as a form of currency

>>723500050
Project Diablo2
Resurgence has gem and rune stacking too, but it's a little weirder. You can also salvage uniques/sets/gems/runes for dust that is stored in a horadric catalyst.
You can extract runes and gems for an efficiency loss, and set/unique dust is used for a few different things.

>>723479942
>wasd controls

>>723499819

>mwf

Recently I've played D2 for the first time since 00s and realized just how little was innovated in this genre since it came out.
The only meaningful things PoE introduced was assembling your skills out of active and support gems and extensive currency system. Everything else feels exactly the same, except with more math for +more damage.
The most funny part is after 20+ years Blizzard being unable to understand what this game even is. It's literally their IP and they can have all kinds of extensive interactions with it, and it's like they aren't even trying to figure out why people still play this 2 decades later while their new games with "Diablo" label get forgotten in a year.

Also I still don't understand what's the point of immunities on enemies. This mechanic basically encourages the player to just skip the encounters and not play the game. Makes sense why none of D2 clones bothered with it.

What are you crawling up my ass for? I'm just relaying information here. I didn't decide on the practice. I've never done it, but I know that people do. They're not worth a lot, but they have their specific uses, like with crafting runes, and they have value by virtue of being combinable, so they can be accepted in certain trades by certain people

I salute you for wanting to try the OG. The remaster is good but the OG looks better, and the remaster's classic mode looks like shit. You need D2GL to make LoD look good
>https://github.com/bayaraa/d2gl
Also you may want basemod and plugy for qol. Installing them all at once may be tricky so look for a guide. You could also try project D2 which has all this stuff already although it's a significant departure in terms of gameplay.

>>723501610
>I'm not just being a contrarian
What? I was just offering up why someone would keep their chipped or flawed gems. What do you do with the abundance of worthless runes you get?

d2r classic graphics

project d2 graphics
this can also be done without project d2 using just d2gl
note it has infinite light radius but that's optional if not using pd2

>>723501883
Rals I pick up
Later on, anything below lem is wasted space and wasted time unless I need it for something. I'm not picking them up because it would be simple to do a few countess runs for anything low. If for some weird reason I needed it.
If I play modded with stacking i might keep some low runes around, just because the QOL is there.
Once I reach hell, any gems lower than flawless are not worth the time to pick up (outside of doing retarded things with a teleport staff because repairs are pricey)
Again. If I'm doing farming in hell, and I see a thul hit the ground? Wtf I'm not picking that shit up. Which is where this all started. You'll never see a zod in an inventory along with a mush mash of shit gems, because they'll have long been ignored.

>>723502695
I guess we just have different philosophies for item hoarding. I pick up any rune I come across and stash it on a character if I don't currently have a use for it. If I run out of space, I either start combining them or simply make yet another character

Yes, but you can't customise it much. It's very blurry (pic related). With d2gl you can have higher resolutions and many different filters/upscalers if desired, and high res fonts. You can also get superior QoL stuff with plugy and basemod.

Resurgence is so good.

I like how the new graphics look so I just played with that. The only thing I miss there is the escape menu with the spinning pentagrams in the style of Doom or Quake. But I get why they went for a more unified UI design.

Tristram and rogue encampment themes have to be one of the best pieces of music ever used in videojuegos

>>723506790
Yes but we are not talking about the new graphics. I just drank a cup of earl grey tea. Do you care? Of course not, it's irrelevant.

I don't like poe2 because it feels abusive towards the kind of retard that pretends that he's smarter than he is because he's using a loot filter and some online build guide. If you get tons of loot then loot becomes worthless. Also 1 button gameplay is kinda ass, It's like eternally playing a Paladin god how horrifying.

I have no idea how they took the genre away from blizz... oh yeah diablo 3.... damn....

I played it a bit. It's an impressive mod, but it felt kind of boring to me in the end. Most things are changed to be faster/easier so it's mostly about the endgame. All vanilla content is trivial for most builds so the interesting part is the maps and new uber bosses. However the maps felt very uninspired to me. They just contain a shitload of vanilla enemies with scaled up stats, which you plow through. It felt more grindy than spamming meph etc because all you do is mow down a carpet of these enemies. Feels kinda like cows+. Vanilla "endgame" mfing, although repetitive, is somewhat interesting to me because there are a lot of zones/strategies you might partake in. PD2 endgame actually felt more homogeneous. It does allow eternal loot grinding with corruptions and more RNG generally. And there is a huge increase in build diversity/viability. It's just I kinda don't care about all these "viable" builds because almost any build can farm shit just fine, and there's nothing interesting about the farming.

I guess to me tweaking or upscaling the original graphics seems completely redundant when the new graphics exist. Obviously you don't agree.

>>723507612
I was discussing the D2R(classic) graphics vs LoD with D2GL. The nu graphics are an entirely subjective matter and I have no interest in your opinion on it. I didn't ask. I don't care.

Oh shit what are you doing?

>>723509035
Maybe he's going for a poison necro build.
Using a skele build is also terrible for A2 maggot lair

>>723509035
do you not see the poison dagger?

>>723510520
I think that's the point...

>>723510827

Fuck that stupid backpack and chests full of mother fucking gems and runes and shit and fucking grinding allllll fucking day and night just to have 30 of the same fucking rune!

Search for anything Vanilla+/Vanilla++ or Eastern Sun, avoid autism rooms like PD2, Path of Diablo, Median and so on. If you want to play with mods in D2R try Eastern Sun too.

Am I the only one that likes Diablo 1 much more than Diablo 2? I get that DS2 is a better game, and I would agree. It improves everything, the combat, the exploration, the worldbuilding. But I really like how simple DS1 is. Its just a dungeon crawler with satanic themes and at some points it somewhat scary. I think the atmosphere is great and DS2 never reached that.

>he unironically tries to do holy grail
Alright fess up which of you is it?

>>723516538
Dark souls 2 is the best souls game, I agree ralph

I like Median.

>>723479751 (OP)

>>723488447
with the later patches they patched/BaLaNcEd it for PvP and tradecore making it grindyer & taking away the fun of the spells by adding cooldowns & removing a lot of cool stuff like near-infinite-piercing-guiding-arrows & hydra/meteor spam til u break the engine

>>723516538
I like them both. There's something to be said for D1's combat and spells.

>>723516931
shit, yesterday I was in a dead space thread and muscle memory kicked in
