Diablo II: Resurrected

I had diablo 2 but was a bit young so I clocked it and thought it was basically finished.
End game of diablo 2 is to kill the same bosses over and over in the campaign and hope for better loot?
 
Played through the first 2 Acts (the only 2 available for now).

It is buggy. No two ways about it. With just over a month to go I sure as hell hope they have some more recent builds in the pipeline that have addressed most of them.

As for how it plays: Pretty much as I remember it (minus some of the bugs). I do feel there was more room for quality of life improvements that could have been implemented without pissing any purists off.

It was the same for me and Diablo 1 in 1997. I played it through in Single Player with each of the 3 characters and thought that was it.

It was a whole different game in Multiplayer with Normal, Nightmare and Hell difficulties. Then Hellfire with the LAN multiplayer patch added even more value to the experience.

...sigh. Why not just open and let pre-orders play.

You can watch someone on twitch for 2.5hrs to get free early access into the beta. Don't even need to purchase the game. I just installed and played it for a couple hours. Then uninstalled.
 
For those who attempted multiplayer, how does the netcode hold up?

Is it still the old swing and wait or is it more like D3/PoE's predictive netcode?

Basically, will it be possible to play online without it affecting gameplay with a 180ms ping?

During EA it was imho quite bad. I had a few rubberband scenarios, doors not opening and disconnects*. However, when this wasn't the case it was perfect, so lets see how beta weekend goes. But... 30 days from now; they probably need at least 60 more if this is the release build we are playing on.


*But Blizz did release wow, wow classic, starcraft, ... and still can't get it right? or is the activation's doing? Time will tell.

I just read now that there will be an offline single player mode :)

It's been done by Vicarious games so I have faith ...

Thank god, if so, and they do not do another 180, because the rubber banding is kak.

TCP / and lan's are so like 1990's :ROFL:

I think if I had to play at 200ms all the time i'd go nuts ! I'll only jump online for those 8 man Baal runs for epix lewt :)
 
I actually had fun over the weekend, disappointed you couldn't validly play the necromancer. Ran a Barb around and it was good brainless fun.

Will be doing a fishymancer as my starter though once it goes live.

First toon is a skelemancer for me :)

Then prob's a bowazon. hopefully us saffa's can make a local guild or discord group for item runs and general helping out lowbies.

:p Same thing, can see most people doing the build as it requires very little in terms of items.

Just don't want to think about 8 Necro's in a game with 20 minions each trying to get down a passage a popping off a corpse explosion or 2

Unless you playing just for the story. Cause then you just finish and move on, like I normally do.
