I left my zon.. . I couldn’t even fpk since no one wants to tpk/fpk due to being a zon. But zon will always be my fav char. Maybe I’ll build one again in the future.

i saw 15ed, 4os, 3 skill mat bows going for like 2k bin. i bet they're ~300 now. rip.

i kept telling myself it might be wise to wait for blizz to release new content before committing to a particular build, then i think someone mentioned it'd be after season 1 starts and i was like, nahhh i gotta get building. game has already been out for ten weeks and i've been watching bui and other top-tier duelers win tournaments with four-point rings and other middle-of-the-road gear, so i figure now is the best opportunity to make some progress before everyone has their six-point gears, near-perf crafted items, lvl 99 chars. d2r feels so fresh compared to legacy in this sense. it's like a big, meta-ladder reset.


agreed yeah.. big meta reset

i'll be zvzing with you guys at some point - just sort of getting things together slowly

i think all of us are itching to start the ladder as mfing and flipping gets pretty boring

although it would feel bad to buy 4 x 40/15s atm and watch them be 1k in a month - best too pick up some big pieces and use mostly temps

ZvZ feels pretty much unchanged from legacy - although C/T is a bit different on d2r

also i always like pointing out DE ran the ladder on a 67 zon for awhile lol.... so amapk has really never been about the gear


noticed in legacy gfx mode you can just blatantly click on the black boarders.. seems like c/ting might be a thing of the past? unless actually opening gives even further range lol

we tested this - basically the borders give you range without opening the c/t

however c/t gives you the d2r range? It's hard to explain it might even be the black borders = original C/T and you have more range when on C or T

you definitiely have more curvature on d2r and cornerlock works better

the further u can click, the more range u can get

I might be way ahead of curve on this but I think we'll need to address ultrawide, haven't tested in zvz but I'm predicting it will be OP

LOL

i'd consider getting an ultrawide but it'd have to be an expensive one w at least 120 or 144 hz, then i'd also need to upgrade my graphics card to keep up with the additional pixels, then there's the issue with the vignettes / black bars on each side of the screen unless the devs changed it.

yeah, once shako goes from several thousand down to a few hundred fg, kinda takes the dopamine out of it. my best mf runs were in chaos and sometimes i'd do hundreds of consecutive chaos runs per day. doesn't take long for autopilot to take over and basically feels like you're in a sweatshop. this being said, i love how botters are being handled and feels good to be able to farm thousands of fg per day if you have decent luck weeks into release, whereas this only lasted a day or two in legacy IIRC. trading across EUR and a lil Asia adds lots of liquidity/opportunity/accessibility, too, especially at nighttime :ph34r:

i love how you can click in the bottom right and left corner without the HUD / globes getting in the way. fresh start w/o pre-patch items and everyone on the same page combined with modern aspect ratios / resolution is enough to get me enthused. i always thought prepatch items were some of the most interesting but ofc largely inaccessible to new players or players whose accounts expired (rip). lots of minor changes in the patch notes today which makes me think the devs are quite detail-oriented. we get more updates through the course of a few weeks than we got in the last several years of legacy. perhaps my least favorite thing about d2r is the chat filter. i personally love dishing out obscenities and hearing language you wouldn't normally hear irl. oh, and i know you've heard this a million times but i really want my teenage zon back with the big tits and smooth face. you're weird if you disagree.

"no one wants to tpk/fpk due to being a zon"

do you mind elaborating on this? you mean nobody wants to duel against zons? a few days ago, bui went from saying zons are weak to saying they're borderline broken (granted, ladder statement was made within the context of team dueling)
