pvp in general is better on d2r, legacy has wsg but d2r has farther c/t and non c/t casting plus better fps and more smooth gameplay.

lld might be a special case but only because on legacy almost everyone who takes part in lld is a somewhat good dueler so the level of competition is higher and the items are better, ontop of str bugging being gone and pally charge synch being slightly weaker ontop of no wsg and sins being really strong, but tbh that stuff doesnt effect things as much as you might think, because believe it or not there was a time in lld and pvp in general where things like wsg weren't common knowledge and people still found a way to get around mindblast even back then, and now on d2r the resolution is so much higher and the fps is so much better that just walking downward and then teleing away or charging away or zigzagging away is good enough to escape mindblast.

so rly its only the items that make legacy d2 lld better and that won't be like that forever, i'd make the switch and get used to it as soon as possible tbh because the hype dying down isn't going to restore legacy's player base, the fact is d2r will literally always have the bigger player base from now on.

i mean shit man the hype has already died down from poe new season dropping ontop of halo infinite release, the number of ppl playing d2r has already dropped drastically from its release i dont see it going down much more than it already has esp with ladder just around the corner if anything the playerbase will increase in size again and then eventually settle back down to where it is right now. its hype died as soon as the next big new game came out aka halo infinite.

All opinions but rather still say the mechanics in legacy> and honestly dont care if this game dies its old and i dont sink alot of time into it anymore

i thought the same thing until i actually gave d2r a legitimate chance, instead of going into it with the mindset that its not as good. As soon as i started taking part in d2r pvp with a more positive mindset i realized that it has the better upside than legacy tbh.

the loss of wsg and str bugging and weaker pally synch etc, are not as bad as i thought they would be. Also the increased resolution, fps, and overall smoothness of the game more than makes up for it.

i'd honestly just build 1 solid pvp char nd give d2r a go before you place that judgment, and i mean without the open bias cause i know for a fact you have bias cause i can see it in your posts, i know and can tell because i was the same way before i gave d2r a real chance.

I have an hdin and id still rather not pvp or put into a decent inventory

I dont care about not pvping on d2r man, og is my way to go

see the part where you said you'd still rather not put into a decent inventory is proof that your bias hasn't dropped yet so you haven't given it a fair shot.

i started with basic hdin too and felt the same way, i didnt change my mind until i broke down and gave it a real shot with a real pvp char with legit gear and good inventory.

someday when prices drop you'll end up giving it a real chance and you will see the light hehe. :)
