Diablo II: 10 years
polycounter
Diablo 2 10 years old! That easily worth a thread of its own.
What an awesome awesome game. I've played it through many times since its release. I was playing it quite a bit just last year. My mage made it all the way to level 95. Going to level 99 just seems far to dorky :P
Anyway, Can't wait for the 3rd.

I am also anticipating the next entry into the series.
+10 to Awesome
50% chance I would kick a dog to play this
-95% Social life
+5 lbs. Every week of release
(There Better Be A Cow Level)
I hope they redo the cow level, an exact replica of the original in sprite based 2.5 D.
Ahh yes the game that gave me carpel tunnel.. yet i still kept on playing...
GET A MOVE ON WITH NR 3!!!
True story.
Let me explain: Not everyone obsesses about money and most people don't understand why people gamble their lives away but there's a group of people who LOVE to go to the local casino, they get a rush knowing the next hand is going to change their lives.
Diablo II fans think the next mob they smash will give them Excaliber. To a gamer, a +5 sword of awesome is worth more than gold.
Since none of us could afford to play through internet me and my friends used to hang at the local computer club playing Diablo II on lan for 8 hours a day. Man we practically lived there.) Brings back good old memories=)
thank you blizzard for a childhood well wasted!) I never even knew what sunshine was back then XD
I didnt really like it though, its just click click click click click click, and it takes ages to level up and get stuff. I never got any of the decent stuff or into nightmare mode. Just replayed it over and over with different characters. I just liked the atmosphere, and running around with other players(Although not the manic crazy players).
Loved D2, played it soooooooooooooooooooo much at LAN parties with friends. We'd cheat our characters into the insane levels and play on nightmare. The competition was to find the best gear, it was grand.
I have such fond memories of Diablo 2
Bring on Diablo 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, at one point in time, I had 2 accounts of high runes (Ber Jah Cham Zod).
All my Mercs had a Windforce with a 40/15ias socket.
2 full Accounts of Level 99's
Pretty much all the best possible legit gear you could get in the game, I had the perfect/ethereal version of.
God damn, I can't wait till D3.
I have all classes beyond hell, even that useless, dreadful barbarian class.
My favorite thing about the game was that rares and other generated items had the chance to be so freakin good. Dual leech rings ftw.
And a quick shoutout to torchlight, the devilspawn of diablo, considering the guys behind it
LOL dual Leech FTW!
Raven Spirals were the pre-expansion dupe that was dual leech resist all + dex.
Imp Shanks, Viper Torque, and Loathe Grasps, (all pre-expansion dupes) you could put that on a Paladin.
'Silence Phase Blade' (for fastest smite damage), Herald of Zakaruum, Shaftstop, String of Ears, Shako, with 2 SOJs, I could wipe the floor with in PVP.
Secret for getting ridiculously wealthy in that game was doing Nilithak runs.
He dropped ilvl 99 (higher than Baal, and higher than pindle).
It wasn't so much the unique drops that were worth it, it was the small and grand charms....
Because with ilvl 99 charms, you could transmute them with gems for 2-99 lightning dmg small charms (way more powerful than 100pdsc, because it was instant per hit, not spread over 3 seconds). And Grand Charms transmuted could get you +skill charms with over +60 life.
Standard ilvl 87 charms found in Cow Levels, wouldn't grant more than 40 Life to the suffix of a skill charm.
I doubt anyone would understand any of that.
I have an excuse, I'm korean.
really, you saw that image I posted, right? lol.
Were you using a korean client? I remember at one point there was a huge bug where if NA client players typed out something like
"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (SPACE)" it would crash all of the Korean client's from the game. You can imagine the bloodshed in hardcore pvp because of this
I was US-West.
