hey,

there is no correct advice in my opinion, you should play the game which you more enjoy ofc

watch some streams or whatever to get a clue what you like more maybe

in general D2R is prob where you can earn more fg, but we had also great seasons on D4 for that

so build your own opinion would be my advice

have a good day

Here's a good answer, I think. Play D4 when their new ladder/season is out, and when D2R has a new season, you can hop onto that.

Both are good games. The hype right now is D4 and the new dlc. Just think of it as a big upgrade from D2R.

For me personally, although D2R is the GOAT, I prefer playing D4. You really need to give it a try and it'll be worth your money.

^^ THIS ^^

edit:
If you need mates to play with for either d2r or D4 feel free to pm me. I will be hosting a D4 Season Start Party! Everyone's invited!

really you can get more fg in d2r? from where service or items?

Only early on, brother. The market crashes REALLY fast, so you gatta get the high runes/coveted items (griffon's, tal rasha set, etc.) very fast for profit when the ladder resets.

Me personally, I only made like 2k fg from d2r and the rest from D4.

They said "prob" and tbh it's definitely debatable, but not worth a debate imho. Both games are fair options if you're choosing fg as your sole purpose for choosing which installment to play.

Best advice I've received was, do what makes you happy. Play the class that you'll want to actually play and look at every day. Don't stress! Just relax and enjoy the ride. The rest will come if you're a driven and disciplined human. Or you may just get lucky/unlucky.

c'est la vie



this is actually great advice.

Yeah I definitely see more forum posts on d2r, but its just two different markets,as far as games, D4 has new story and content, but we all came from d2 OG, so i think it just holds a special place for ppl. plus its cathartic because of its familiar simplicity
