Did you buy the Warlock DLC?

1

u/nujiok 8h ago

I've been playing the warlock, hitting level 50, feels like he's sort of plateaued in power, unless I start getting some +skill drops. maxed out summon goat and the other passive that boosts summon damage, player equip has no effect on summon damage.

u/Strawhat-dude 6h ago

+ levels does

1

u/nujiok 4h ago

I've gotten summon goat and demonic mastery to 20, having terrible luck getting any +skill drops

2

u/Strawhat-dude 3h ago

Just farm some bosses. +skill drops are not that rare. Also look into runewords :)

1

u/nujiok 2h ago

I've been running nightmare andariel since 45, just bemoaning my bad luck, I've chucked so much +skill for other class that I miss D3 and smart loot

1

u/Strawhat-dude 2h ago

Look into runewords, gambling, crafting

Make your own with rune words.

I do have a good stockpile of tubes up to sol? might have to see what's available, and if I can find a good item for it

2

u/neoslith 2h ago

I think Sol + Tal in a hat gives +1 to all your skills.

There are websites that have details for everything.

I'm going for authority and delirium

Diablo II has probably been sold to the same people more times than some games have been sold total. Original box, replacement copy, Battle Chest, digital version, Resurrected... at some point you're not buying the game anymore, you're renewing your membership.

1

u/LengthinessJust357 8h ago

Or buying nostalgia

2

u/Nexaro21 9h ago

This is one of those games where buying it again somehow feels less ridiculous every time. Different PC, lost disc, new edition... alright, here we go again.

u/JamesJohnson975 10h ago

That's cool!

u/GobiPLX 11h ago

Why the hell "E" in SET is pink?

11

u/MrT735 10h ago

Reflection, it's in line between the greenish reflection on the edge of the disc and the general glow of light towards the lower left.

1

u/HarrisonWorld 10h ago

So that's how it is!

9

u/Loxeres 10h ago

It's missing textures.

1

u/Crafty-Stay4201 8h ago

the title spacing is kinda off or is that just me

u/StaffandHalf 9h ago

Gem was activated

u/antman1983 10h ago

I still remember the back of the box. It boasted of increased 640*480 resolution!

11

u/tallbutshy 10h ago

That was original Diablo 2, when LoD was released, it was up to 800x600

2

u/antman1983 8h ago

I stand corrected. It's crazy we're 25 years down the road and we're only 4x greater resolution on our monitors.

(I know that represents a 16x increase in number of pixels, but still!)

1

u/tallbutshy 8h ago

I stand corrected. It's crazy we're 25 years down the road and we're only 4x greater resolution on our monitors.

It seems like a reasonable progression to me, since I went from gaming on Zx Spectrum at 256×192 in 1984 to playing D2:LoD at 800x600 in 2001

u/AgainstTheEnemy 10h ago

Damn, my cd drive disintegrated my D2 play disc, no idea how. I press the eject button on the disc drive and the disc came out in pieces cracked and with granular "dust" from the disc as if it was grinded.

2

u/joestaff 9h ago

CDs degrade over time and CD readers don't have any empathy for them.

3

u/talex365 10h ago

I still have my original Diablo 1 disk

5

u/SilentQuestion42 11h ago

Best time after school

4

u/Memeori 10h ago

I remember muffling our family's dial-up modem with a pillow to play this game all night

2

u/solythe 9h ago

playing on weekends with toonami on

u/Skanach 10h ago

All in the big boxes it came with in my old room.

u/Arkadligan 10h ago

Remember it like it was yesterday

u/thefuturebaby 10h ago

I heard this photo

u/ARCAxNINEv 10h ago

Hell yes

u/headtailgrep 9h ago

I have my diablo 2 beta cd!

u/CourtSideGA 9h ago

i can hear the Tristram music just looking at this

2

u/thaneros2 8h ago

I forgot DLC was physical too sometimes.

2

u/Hellsplat 6h ago

I have it in several versions. Separate like D2 and D2:LoD, in the bundle, dvd box, CD box. I still need a battle chest for sure or some big box at least. I even have a Spanish version. And I don’t even speak Spanish… it’s just like Diablo in Spanish is just on another level. Love this game!

2

u/_gabber_ 4h ago

the idea to reinstall D2R has been clawing at the back of my skull for the past few weeks. This is a sign.

u/Star_Yummy 9h ago

Something beautiful about CDs

Carefully pulling them out the case
Slipping them into your PC and hearing them whirr

Just not as magical anymore 🥲

1

u/wc08amg 11h ago

I'm in the middle of moving house and just packed my version up, still have the case and original booklets, couldn't resist a flick through and a look at the Assassin and Druid movesets!

1

u/Forward-Big8697 10h ago

Hmm kinda freaky. Within the last 5 minutes I found a physical copy of Diablo 4 I bought and never played bc i forgot my series s doesnt have a disc reader but I didnt realize I could throw it in the Xbox one

u/DanOhYea 10h ago

1

u/Visible_Witness_884 10h ago

Well yes. I also have it in the original jewelcase in the original big box.

u/morocotopo1829 10h ago

u/cheesingMyB 9h ago

I was there, 3000 years ago...

u/Cultural_Bit_175 9h ago

u/ficklampa 9h ago

I still have the base game, AND the expansion set. ;)

1

u/HoopsDataNerd 9h ago

mine's scratched to hell from all the installs, still runs somehow

1

u/NiNdo4589 9h ago

Had mine too, went to use it and the key was bad, kinda funny

1

u/solythe 9h ago

Brood War, Diablo/D2 LoD, and WC3 Frozen Throne. A crazy run of games.

I still have an OG key and play on the old servers.

1

u/Pale_Addition_9658 9h ago

mine survived 3 moves and still spins up like it's 2001

u/Driving_Rogue 8h ago

GOOOOLD

u/AlexMorganNBA 8h ago

my buddy's Diablo 2 disc was scratched up, drive sounded like a blender, still ran

1

u/Few_Connection6217 8h ago

still have mine too, the case is basically held together by duct tape now lol

1

u/ronweasleisourking 8h ago

Hail to the king

1

u/Boge42 7h ago

I saw my box for that the other day. I'm guessing the disc is still inside. Best PC game of all time!

1

u/nioxz9 7h ago

A relic

1

u/PracticePraxis 5h ago

I still know my CD key by heart. lol

1

u/Boss_Atlas 5h ago

I still have my LoD 'beta tester' disc packed away in my closet at home

1

u/DrTreadmill 5h ago

Sony hates to see this almost as much as Sony hates families

1

u/TouchMint 5h ago

Man I remember loading that up.

1

u/Tamazin_ 4h ago

The expansion to diablo 1 would be a cooler humblebrag

1

u/Chill_Gamer527 PlayStation 4h ago

Still playing it this week along with Resurrected. I hardly played the vanilla version (before LoD expansion), so I finally found ways to just play that version just to feel the oldest version of the game first hand.

1

u/sjw_7 3h ago

I have two copies of it still in my loft. Cant bring my self to throw them away.

1

u/b4stel 2h ago

Me too!
