not that there's anything wrong with that

pitbulul.... give dude150 strength so that dude150 may one day break through his benchpress plateau.........

Oh yeah look at that max damage back in 2009

wish they had just released another xpac for d2 with improved graphics and more shit to do

dclone and ubers were interesting additions, then they stopped

What frame rate is that at?

some new additions from d3 would be nice to have in d2
like
-unlimited tp and no tomes/scrolls needed
-same with identify
-cap the max number of charms u can carry like 2gc 4 medium and 6 small or w/e

sadly they could not eliminate botting even in d3 so idk what a good solution would be-besides making shit bind to account
or at least make endgame items boa like runes, runewords and some rare uniques/sets
sets need a total redo in d2 as they are useless, some clases and skills also need rework

it might be hard to do tho since the code for the game is so old and i think they even said they cannot be bothered
even if they would want to there is no point cuz they probably won't expect people to play it since only old school players still do

my biggest dream would be to design a proper diablo game or something similar and i would make it without bots or dupes and the inferno which should have been really hard in d3
would also make lots of events like ubers but other stuff too, rng dungeons with specific drops, unique locations, timed events kill xxx mobs to get rewards and so on
(some are even in d3 but i for one never bothered to buy and play expansion)

yeah I mean I'm pretty sure at this point they'd have to start coding from scratch
the shit in d2's code is probably sooo outdated.

did anyone buy the d3 xpac? worth buying? honestly, d3 wasn't that bad of a game. comparing it to d2 kind of ruins it, though, since it doesn't really live up. got at least 100 solid hours of play out of d3

did anyone ever stand around long enough for your 800 second long teleport so you could hit them?

PoE came about as close as possible to the old D2. There was quite a bit more skill involved and the only real way to MF decently was with a party. Also, pretty much everyone played hardcore so botting was way more dangerous and difficult that in D2.

Still, from the day the game came out there were item shops and trading forums everywhere. Just like in D2, for the first few weeks of a season rare items/currency (like HRs) are really valuable, but give the botters some time and soon everything becomes worthless.

It's really impossible to stop botting in any game. There'll always be some dumb area you can MF safely without needing a very advanced algorithm (e.g. I remember Ectasy gave me a D3 bot that MFed that stupid like rare rat guy). Even if the area you MF doesn't drop as good loot as frequently as other tougher areas, if you're doing it 24/7 on like 100 different characters you're going to get rich. I don't think developers cba to really monitor everyone's accounts for bots and ban them, especially since lots of games like PoE are f2p now and the devs really don't want to waste any more money and resources than they have to. Also, people can code way better now and it's easy to randomize mouse movements, fake taking breaks, etc.

Long story short I think nothing will ever be like oldschool D2 was again. Going into any game hoping for a modern day D2 is just asking for dissapointment
