I took 3 years off and come back to phrases like D2Legacy? Terror zones? Loading screens? Total garbage lol

Remastered or redefined?

D2 LOD > D2R

I Installed it less than a week ago; didn't take long to realize that they failed in almost every way

Some changes they nailed such as certain conveniences interfacing with items and of course the environmental graphics are nice

But looking at the mechanical side such as being able to control and articulate your character in pvp strategy and utilize certain moments to lengthen or shorten encounters in a duel were removed; almost like trying to fight someone under water

I think most of us can agree that the success to a game isn't about having a "social experience" (D4 was bad too) or having a "level playing field." It's unfortunate that the parameters were altered and implemented by people who never understood the concept of what was appealing to begin with

Personally I enjoy when games have hidden aspects of meta gaming. It's like finding hidden easter eggs along the way that comes from experience and time spent, comparable to acquiring items that are harder to come by

And why would you automatically assume that when we claim that the game is trash or not trash we talk about pvp? When in fact d2 or D2R developers not even mentioning PVP ever in their quotes and articles.

why do people play WC3 and not Reforge ?

cuz its not same game mechanics, they fucked it up real bad,



people play pirat version or physical CD

Using something like xkai to play via internet ( battle.net shutdown) for wc3
------------------


For d2lod vs d2r

-WW broken mechanics (hit registry issue)
-IAS changes (breakpoint)
-FHR/Stun mechanics ( pretty much gone, can only stun once ever 3-4sec)
-Skill balance changed (some nerf some buff, like WW nerfed, Sprit & bone nec buff)
-WSG gone,
-Strength Bug (gone, most actually invest useless point in strength, to wear the gear)
-QoL (some good & some bad)

The key is that PvP does not feel the same anymore,
(This is the reason D2LoD is still alive after 23years)

no one plays d2lod for PvM, the game take less then 2 hours to beat......


ww is fixed
ias changes are for the beter except for 2handers they kinda got screwed
fhr if you have to lock someone to kill them your a noob
ww was actually buffed
no wsg(glitch is the key word here)
str bug(now people dont lose their gear if you cant duel with what you have are you really a dueler?

d2lod is a dusty old game like my grandpa!
and so are the players that wont leave it
