Maybe I'm just old, but modern leveling to 99 is freaking stupid. Looks like the best method is to become a streamer and recruit dozens of people to set up chaos/Diablo so you can kill Diablo X number of times per minute and join the next game.



No shit, its a slap in the face of sorts. With the flick of a wrist - they blew open the doors of exploits for pvm and shut the door on all existing glitches that made pvp a level playing field. They did so good and so so bad at the same time. It's hard to imagine they don't fix that by next ladder though. Everyone actually playing isn't necessarily mad at them for exploiting it - but no one seriously gives a shit about their 99 by breaking the game.

But btw i'd totally simp for you and setup D, just don't ask me to shrine for you

Yeah, I hope they patch it, I worry our community is too niche though.

It makes me appreciate how well balanced the leveling experience was in the original. I never thought of the "Realm Downs" from joining games too quickly as a feature.

I'm playing with the idea of buying the game, however I don't think I'd be willing to play Softcore.

New ladder begins in 6 months?

I havent seen anything but speculation on ladder lengths. Nothing official.

Awesome point sunny. Realm Down being a feature, would of prevented this "innovation."

They've said they're leaning towards 4 month long ladders.

I'd love to play some hcl but idk enough people that play it. I'm hearing new ladders will be every 4 or 6 months. The new builds are dope as hell, foh can run thru a 8 player game by itself now. Fire druids wreck shit, a5 mercs are OP in chaos now. Dual wield swords and flickering flame helm, you never lose fire res and can have sanctuary from lawbringer and cleanse from plague runeword.

That's the thing about opinions and assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.

Those of you who are clearly jealous of a guy that organized a group of friends to help him get 99 are willfully ignorant of EVERY D2 ladder 99 race ever. He just happens to have more friends than you :P
