Open Beta is open. https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/dia...rrected-during-the-early-access-and-open-beta
Remaster graphics are excellent. Played closed beta and it was fun. One of my favorite changes I’ve read is you can now kill cow king and repeat. Saves on a lot of griefing.
Yeah they really pissed in their cheerios One of the head guys saying they were shocked by the player base. Get out of here
I need the servers to be down. Im working from home and have way too much to do……but I really just want to sit here and grind for 8 hours straight.
After spending so much time with Diablo 3 I forgot how unforgiving this game is. Getting my ass whipped
Shared stash, right? Trying to figure out if I want to start online or single player. Plugy made SP so nice. Need to research if all rune words are available on single player. I know spirit is.
Got a Viper Magi from nightmare Mephisto. Starting Act 5 nightmare. Took the day off to play today. Sorceress for MF and trading purposes.
I got a trapsin to 80 to do some hell cows, pit runs, and tower runs need better gear to do more probably leveling a cold sorc to farm meph
My first character is cold sorc too like everyone else. At level 80 now - great first character to help people with rushes and meph runs / cows. Next up is probably either necro or druid
Planning on starting this next week probably after I finish Arise. Never played 2 before, only 3. Any tips for a newbie?
Ha 2 is much harder than 3 could ever be. It’s a much better game. My advice would be to do a little research and pick a build knowing what it does before you play. for instance, some builds are incapable of beating the game solo, others are for farming gear and items for future builds that need quite specific gear. Over half of the skill builds in the game are also not viable or at least not great. cold sorc, trapsin, summon necro, bone necro, wind Druid, shout Barb, and hammerdin are all good well rounded great builds for clearing content. Now you don’t need to do those specifically, but they’re good ones to look at. use rune words to socket your gear. As you go to nightmare and hell difficulty, resistances are critical. people say just play the game and pick your own path. That may be your desire and that’s great—just realize that for a lot of people who play today’s iterations of video games (typically easy and not punishing) they will end up getting frustrated because this game is hard on Hell difficulty. oh and moo
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?http...ngel007/d2_cheat_sheet/blob/master/index.html that's your one stop shop cheat sheet it won't make any sense to first time players, but for others it might be very helpful please do not hesitate to ask questions, i'm more than happy to answer with what i know
I always run a sorc first. Focus on fireball and fire bolt early. Find a staff that is +2/3 fireball and 2 sockets. Make a leaf rune word. Respec to frozen orb for nightmare. It makes it trivial. Respec again around 65-70 for hell and find a build for blizzard and fireball. I usually farm for some gear at hell Andariel to get me through Act 3. Farm mephisto in act 3 for better gear until level 75-80.Act 4-5 are a bitch on hell. Lots of cold/fire immunes. Make sure to have lightning and fire res close to being maxed before getting to act 4 hell. Most of my other classes were built after getting some good gear for their classes and sharing them. Game can be a lot of fun and then you hit hell difficulty and your gear/build can make you quit the game.
Nothing in energy or dex. Enough in strength to use gear which is really not a concern until you hit end game and you can respec for it. At some point you’ll end up investing enough strength (156) for a spirit rune word in a monarch shield but that is late game and it’s a waste up until that point. I’m level 80 and about to respec into it once I get a shako and arachnid belt. All the rest in vitality. I’ll not overload you with info but once you get the rune words for call to arms you’ll be able to jump up to 2kish health. I’m sitting at 800-900 right now. Playing online gives you a lot of options towards getting better gear bc you can trade high runes or good drops for other stuff. It’s tough to do it all by finding stuff on your own. That’s more of an end game farming thing. Smashing mana potions gets tedious so do what you can to find a 4 socketed pole arm class weapon for an act 2 merc and get insight rune word. My favorite merc rune word is treachery and it’s relatively inexpensive. Will make him tanks af. No need for that until hell though.
Got Ohm yesterday in Hell Trav. Really want to make CTA but need to prioritize other gear first. Trying to break for 2x Vex but not many want to sell. Might have to offer Ohm+Lem or something.
I’m struggling to decide if I want to trade my ohm for a torch or tals armor or deaths fathom. Ill run across a shako/arachs/occulus at some point but cta/fathom/torch are really tough to come by. You trying to make a hoto?
I found it rushing a buddy and told him I would split it if I could. He has a pally and wants a hoto. Vex is probably the easiest HR to trade because everyone and their brother want a hoto. I’ve farmed hell cows and the pit quite a bit to decent success but realizing that the economy is based on sorc and hammerdin items, I thought I’d try and acquire some wealth on a sorc and hell meph is a good place for it that’s really sorc limited unless you grab a tele staff which is awkward until enigma. My only thought on holding out with your Ohm is that the general player base hasn’t reached CTA yet. I feel like Ohm will go up in value a little bit when that wave comes. I have also found that trading on Europe is exponentially better than NA. NA is looking for handouts or trades which heavily slant their way.
I think I’m going to keep farming until I can find a Mal and ist or until I have enough to trade for them. CTA early is too much for me to turn down. I’ll probably roll a shitty one. Last one I rolled on Plugy was 6/5 so I’ll not have that luck again.
First not shit rune I’ve ever got from it that I can remember. Just traded for an ist. Gotta find a Mal now.
5/2. Better than nothing I guess. Don’t have to do the most trick anymore at Mephisto at least. Merc can tank.
I’m so torn on buying this or Humankind. I played D2 but it was so long ago I’ve forgotten most of it
D2 will get it’s barbs in me and I won’t be able to shake it for weeks and then the desire will just go away. It has its hooks in me currently though. I don’t know anything about Humankind, but D2s longevity compared to what it cost is an easy sell.
Sold it for 4.5k fg on d2jsp. Then I bought an oculus, shako, and war travs. Went searching for how to change regions to Europe and accidentally deleted my character. No shit. Now I’m in here with a guy who is giving me a ton of free shit but I have to level up again. I need a rush lol.
I paid for the items but he hadn’t sent them to me yet. Ended up giving me a spirit, vamp gaze, trangs, chancies, 2 nagels, a torch, gold wrap, duriels and a gheeds. Along with the occulus, shako, and travs I already purchased. So gear wise I’m in a lot better spot. Just have to level up now.
you’re rich af if you sell it on jsp. Sold my ber for a lot and geared out an entire sorc. Wish I would have saved it for Enigma and started a hammerdin. Getting bored of the cold sorc farm route. Edit: not rich af as I suspected but they got for around 2.2k fg which can get you some good stuff. I have a 12/10 and haven’t worried about trying to upgrade it.
I’m running full Tal’s (not the best I know) at level 87 and still having fun doing countess / summoner / meph / chaos / Pindle circuits damage went up huge after the torch which was nice
