naw it wasnt the meph runs that made d2lod enjoyable, it was the 50 different builds u could make across 7 very different classes. and all the items and crafting that went into it.
d clone hunts? uber trist runs? cows... key hunting... oh yeah then theres the pvp fpk melee tournament barb tournament ect.

or if u were like me and u just wanted to hunt people down while they were trying to level. we called it peekay

trade restrictions has killed the endgame pretty much as there’s nothing to endless grind for
but they don’t wanna have us play jsp so too bad

I mean lets be honest it can't be endgame or else I'd have to quit D2 always pretty fast.

For me it's somehow the twinking.
I have a 87 Druid with the gear I wanted (Tempest Roar) and running through NMD 50s on hc.

I will never wear Temerity on my Rogue. It requires level 80 and I don't see me leveling up another alt that high because it takes like 50+ hours (playing without boosts, solo).

I thought I'll give it a try and alt f4'd after seeing I have to do the short quest line for malignant season again. The only thing that is good is that renown I don't need to do because I will get all paragon points at lvl 50 from my main.

But come on... This can't be the reason. I don't know what but something is missing. Most of the time it feels like a solo player game and I can't find others without thirdparty sites or discord, my items I find even if best in slot don't make me happy.

I wouldn't even be happy with runewords from D2 at this point. I find myself logging in, doing 2-3 nmd and qutting them after I forget to free a prisoner or 1 enemy across the dungeon that I forgot. And Legions are just huge Zergtrains and I am never lucky to see Mobs because they explode a MS after they spawned.

if d2 was released today u would say it sucks
the other guy was right, it's all about nostalgia

I don't know what is missing.

Thats actually my problem. I think I actually quit playing D2 after 3-4 weeks into seasons after I got all my stuff too but I am not sure.

Maybe it's more of a "me"-problem that I probably dislike the concept of ARPGs in general. But then again I like playing them a while. I dunno. I'm lost lol.

Crap itemization is a larger issue than lack of endgame material. D2 also didn't have much endgame but the loot was exciting. Now you barely get excited over drops ever. Unless you find shako (which won't happen for any of us), but even then you can't sell it so what will you do with it? Run for a few months around doing the same dungeons for no reason?

could of saved yourself like 200 hours if you just read the post a few weeks earlier lol. Im in the same boat with my 87 druid. Found all the gear etc. Tempest build. Do a few dungeons. Then boredom sets in. As a matter a fact. About too do a dungeon now knowing that nothing but a bunch of crap rares will continue dropping and i just sell em. Thats what the game is find "rares" sell em.


personally i think they screwed up by so many rares dropping every single second ~~~ it should of been a drop rate like 99% less. Given now it means absolutely nothing too find any items given they all do the same bs anyways.

and yes, the game totally feels like a totaly 1 player solo game entirely through. incredibly boring.
