We'll see how many players will remain on PD2 when the new D2 ladder start.


Once you experience the upgraded graphics its tough to go back to the original.

If you're playing bvb, you can't complain for lack of pvp as you're actually not really pvping

Urkel is one of the top fpkers you pvming single player walk through scrawnlet

We would both 5-0 you any m/u and that’s that !

Not upgraded, just blown up and blurry. If you want to play with a 720 or 1080p window on regular d2 with the full texture resolution you can and people do, you just can't with blizzard's client without changing it.

this is, believe it or not, the original tiles without any upscaling. open in new tab and view it at 100% zoom.

Did they ruin enigma like pod did in pd2?

Also Project diablo has bots, and dupes and has already been taken offline many times to try to address botters and dupes but they'll always come back.

As long as you have pure d2 drop mechanics with no increased chances for loot, botting will always be valuable, and the more popular your server is the more lucrative it is to bot.

I havent tried project d2 yet because the client is shitty and straight up doesnt work, but if they fix it I would play it for fun. But I would bot. And the bot community I'm sure is out there already for it. slash diablo and pod both have big botting communities too.

The client works perfectly fine.

Open the original and pd2 and put them side by side. Pd2 is much better looking, and definitely not more blurry. I have no idea what you are talking about.

If you did, I'm sure I'd remember you from pjd
You were either shit when I played, or you spawned too late pal.

it is more blurry. they upscaled the tiles.

Unless you know of an upscaling method that happens to increase the original pixel count (this doesn't exist and never will), there's literally no way to upscale any texture/tile/image without making it more blurry/smoothed.
you can use some more advanced upscaling techniques which happen to be what pd2 uses, but it's mediocre at best and will never retain the sharpness of the original textures.

This isn't an argument, it's a logical failing to assert upscaling made pd2 sharper. Maybe you enjoy the smoothed/less sharp assets, but I and many others sure don't.

edit: if you want to get technical, I can extract the assets from pd2 and put them side by side with the exact same assets from the original and show you the upscaling. But you aren't blind and you can probably tell just by looking at a screenshot 5 feet away...

here, without having to extract anything

your know that hosting a private serveris basically a crime and is against EULA ?

https://www.blizzard.com/en-us/legal/fba4d00f-c7e4-4883-b8b9-1b4500a402ea/blizzard-end-user-license-agreement


and yet there's 10000 botters

they have ruined the real game

players who actually want to play legit and follow EULA can't anyway because of botters and 10+ days to log in

sooooo... what's your solution? there isn't any

we're basically FORCED to play on private servers now or SP

I don't see Project Diablo 2 as a crime at all, so stfu
