For me, it's about the optimizations. Min maxing. Choosing gear, skills, and play style that tell a story. Creating beauty from ugly things in the right order, like watts towers.

and I often do the opposite–creating ugly things out of things that were once beautiful.

Example: bQQ and I both made immolation arrow zons and challenged each other to see who could kill a p8 tier 5 herald first. bQQ won, because I gave up after doing like 20% of the heralds life in an entire quiver.

play for a couple weeks on ladder reset then be done is how I do it. soo many more games to play

Do we know date of ladder reset? You are right, in first days ppl play this game, prices are high and every small success counts

XD love ittt

cyber groupies

yea big vouch

a botter will never even bat an eye when they find a zod rune

a legit player gets a huge dopamine hit tho

I like killing things and getting loot and just about every build in d2 is fun to do that with.

I like making new builds I like the theory crafting and insane amount of information available about the game. It’s fun taking notes and making guides, call it a special interest. Recently been building a spreadsheet with rough pricing for every variation of every base item. I don’t like using fg, I prefer trading with the Koreans and Chinese for runes and items, feels more nostalgic.

Ive been trying to do a perfect grail the past two years which is fun because just about every unique drop can be exciting that way.

Ladder is always fun for a few weeks, mostly until an enigma is built and then I’ll farm to make a dragondin, do 2-3 runs with it and say fuck it and go back to playing my non ladder one for brain dead farming since I’ve spent and continue to spend literally all my hrs on it.

Won’t be a thing anymore due to the changes but farming solo for a latent sunder was a fun way to spend a few weeks.

But as someone else said, sometimes you just get burnt out and that’s okay, there’s plenty of other games to play right now. You don’t quit d2 you just take breaks so we’ll see you when you get back.
