I've been playing D2 LOD for almost 20 years off and on. To be honest, I'm just burnt out and want a new experience. Pd2 looks interesting but the graphics will kill me a bit. How populated are the pd2 servers? Is it close to d2r?
What makes pd2 so fun?
Thanks.

Last I played pd2 it was dying off...not dead. It's definitely fun, especially if you have a group of friends to play with. It adds lots of content and allows about any build to be viable. Rework of all uniques and sets, ability use worldatone shards to add random things to items such has sockets you couldn't normally get, like 6 os azurewrath, or add all skills,stats etc...mercs reworked...all have auras and can wear gloves boots and use different weapons...like a1 crossbow or bow, a2 spears or pole arms, a3 any wand orb or 1 handed weapon, act 5 can use about any melee...not to mention wear full IK set lol...they added end game content gear and a item called a map. Tier 1-4. All have random stats and can be rolled, fortified, use the shards on them and so much more. The maps are used in a5 and open a portal to new areas. New bosses new users...but downside is I don't think population is as high as d2r, you need a legit cd key from blizzard, lotssss of strict rules with next yo no leniency. Like no 3rd part site trades, no jsp, can't mention many keywords in game or discord, and yeah you have to use their discord and their tradesite...but not sure how the Market is with the population being much lower than a year ago. No one plays non ladder and you loose shared stash, wanna say the seasons are 3 or 4 months long, some bugs and server issues(sometimes)like the golden days, It definitely has downsides and is not for every Diablo fan but it is enjoyable if ya want a change up. I would also recommend trying some mods on d2r.

Interesting, I did see a YouTube video from mr.lamaa or whatever his name is recently saying that blizzard will have online mods for d2r on this next update, if that's the case then pd2r will be extremely popular id imagine

Holyyyy shi....eld....for real? That will be epiccccc...

So I checked the pd2 launcher last night....3k people online 😂

Lmao Wtf I'm pretty sure that's more than d2r 🤔

Lol I'm not too sure about d2r (id guess its much higher than 3k though) but pd2 had more than I thought. It really is a solid mod. I enjoyed it all in all. Wish the ladders were longer or non ladder was populated. It's worth a play if you havnt imo. I left out many awesome feature because there are so many. (Item filters built into the launcher too. So many QoL features.)...if you try lmk what ya think

I love d2 but I don't know if I can go back to lod graphics again 🤣🤣
I think pd2 has plans for d2r though. Did you find the video of Mr.lamma talking about they will add multiplayer to the mods now? Apparently, during the d2r beta someone was able to hack in the game and get the rest of the content and blizzard said screw it and just disable the multiplayer feature from like tcip/ip

Yeah it is rough but it's really not like when you press G in d2r...they make it look way worse. I havnt looked the video up yet, but just finished my coffee so I'll search during the morning dunp 😂 I can't wait to see this

10k ppl on at reset

6k ppl online on trading site

Barely any bots a few on sc

No public map hacks or anything

I’ve played every ladder since the game started it’s always great
