i got the addiction since the age of 10 ( 2000 )

for d2 aswell cs 1.5/1.6

same here

for sure bro, its all about diablo and wow

Its normal

dunno if normal or not... but got 38 yeads ( 2 daughters ) 3 works and still playing

i am 38 and was addicted to Diablo 2 LoD very late..
i think it was patch 1.09 or 1.10.. it was the first time when uber Tristram was possbile and we stood with some "freaky" guys (Summoner-Necro, Hammer-Pala and Tornade Druid) in front of ueber Duriel and wont be able to kill it.. very crazy ..

i love this game after this experience. espeacially the Ladder Resets which i was part of the upcomming years (2010 and so on i think).... it was very funny and some real gameplay comes up with some various players.. i was unhappy that europe was the only region which was always 1 step ahead...At this time resets were on Tuesday / Wednesday nights and we must "stay alive" sometime until 4am in the morning until the ladder was reset.. one time it was crazy that the reset didnt pick every Char from last ladder, so some ppl were able to use there old level 90 chars to rush everyone right at the beginning :)..

after all i must say.. times chaging --> family, house, kids and other stuff to do.. i am glad that this old game is stilll alive and some really nice ppl playing it.. the resurrected part gives the upcomming generation the chance to get some real feeling about Diablo 2, but i suggest that this feeling from tha past could never be reached again..

cheers to all of you and stay healthy

LOL Same boat still play CounterStrike and Diablo 2. I first played CS at a LAN cafe in Manila 1999 after that it was D2 LOD in 2002. Now I'm playing CS2 with all my buddies from high school all of them Dads now ^_^ . Haven't played D2 since 2007, just started playing again with the new expansion.

What a fucking reply.....im taking 2 shots of hennessy for you right now..LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!

Dont worry it will wear of at AGE 35+ ^^

CS2 feels more unconsistent than agreements on time is in south america...

Everything gets worse:
Cs2:
- Added bullet spread, even on AWP....
- Worse hitreg
- People die on your screen, but gets revived and shot back. You can ofc turn this off, but then no blood visuals on hit and delayed functions.
- "Lag compensation algorithms"
The real reasons is to lower skillgaps and to mask algorithms which decides who will win, not based on actual inputs to the server, but based on the highest % chance of micro transaction sales.

D2r:
- Removed desync
- Removed WSG
- Removed AWSM etc
- Removed strenght bug
- Added cooldown on stun functions instead of frame by frame actions.
Basicly whatever you can do to reduce skillgaps.

Cod:
Call of algorithms, nothing more to say really. You don't play the game, the game plays you.
Ofc all the factors to reduce skill gaps has been added:
* Zero recoil guns
* Effective damage range on snipers
* Slower snipers
* 2 legshots = same as 2 headshots.
* Reduced throwing knife/tomahawk

And then the algorithms:
* Increase flinch
* alter hitpoints and damage
* Alter hitreg
* Modifify projectile paths
* Adjust hitbox sizes
* Gunjams
* Force aim of target, and 2m movement of FOV during ADS transition (CS2 does this as well, it thought i was blinded from flash landing behind me, so it basicly forced my aim down in the floor as i fired xD)
++++++++++++++++++++++

And if you buy 1 bundle everything instantly works as normal for 1 lousy evening.
No wonder why they loose 60% of playerbase yearly. No other fu** up would be able to do that.

A high kd/win rate will increase SBMM
High accuracity and fast kills and quadwipes = Effectiveness reducing algorithms.

This way people can complain about the wrong things.

Games are not ment to be played for fun, they are made with FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out), so they want you to play because then there is a higher chance you buy, but they dont want you to slay, because then you scare people of the game. And an underlaying tactic is to alter their playerbase into someone who grew up with another mindset on spending money ingame.
