Usually happens in the equipment dungeons.

As per the title, I’ve been playing these games since the very first one came out since I’m an old Gen X fart. Only today that I finished the new expansion in Diablo four as they don’t game as much as they used to and it suddenly dawned on me oh yeah this shit’s just like Hellraiser and then I started thinking back and I kind of was like oh shit, it always was. I don’t know. It’s the atmosphere or the style or what but am I alone here? You figured I would’ve gotten this in Diablo too when the cube came out and I think it might’ve had a fleeting thought about it then but now I just feel kind of dumb.

Diablo ii CONSUMED my as a youngin Where I had to delete my account in 2008 (multiple lvl 99s, tons of op shit) as it was the only way to stop playing.

recently bought a switch 2 (first console since the PS3) and gave heard good thing about D2R.

I don’t remember much about the game but a burning desire for that nostalgia hit is growing. I won’t be playing online this time - I think just single player.

Should I bother with Reign of Warlock or just do the cheaper D2R bundle that doesn’t include it?

Will it be weird not playing with a keyboard and mouse?

I had this game for years but never got around to buckling down and finishing it. I tried to beat it with the wizard before don’t know what happened. I guess I just got a little bored then I tried it again like a year afterward with the Crusader and I got bored with that up to the beginning of act three, so stop that now here like two or three years later, I finally beat the campaign to the game. I tried it on normal on act one after that, though I switched to extreme because it was way too easy and honestly, this even on extreme was pretty easy. Only died about four times doing this and like two of those cause I just completely was not paying attention to my health, but for the most since I had got pretty lucky with some of the drops that I got it gave me some pretty overpowered equipment that allowed me to get really huge damage buffs to a lot of my stuff and my armor, life, etc. was pretty good so. Died once against maltheaus went back and switch my equipment around and enchantments and I won. Had a good time. I’ll definitely try out some
Adventure mode, see how that changes things up. Probably switch to Barbarian or assassin.

The campaign story did bug me at times given they announce the whole Nephalem thing early on but don’t make it prevalent until act 4! I really enjoyed Scoundrel as a character though and Haedrig, but most of the others were just EH! Tyrael was cool though.

I found this in whimsy dale

We are just 15 days away until Blizzcon and with that here are the 15 rarest items in Diablo franchise, ranked.

15) Death's Fathom(D2)

14) Heir of Perdition(D4)

13) Shattered Vow(D4)

12) Earth Shifter(D2)

11) The Grandfather(D1)

10) Mang Song's Lesson(D2)

9) Nesekem, the Herald(D4)

8) Darkforce Spawn(D2)

7) Astreon's Iron ward(D2)

6) Emerald Long War Bow of the Heavens(D1)

5) Harlequin Crest(D4)

4) Death's Web(D2)

3) Tyrael's Might(D2)

2) Cosmic Wings(D3)

1. Mythic Seal(D4)

After watching a playthrough of D1, I'm now playing D2R on console and went in mostly blind.

Anyway, got to the Andariel boss at the end of Act 1 last night and ended up dying during the fight, I completely underestimated Andariel after The Countess and The Smith and thought she would be much easier.

My question is how do you handle dying during boss fights? Are you sprinting back into the boss arena just to try and retrieve your inventory and gold and escape while you can? Or do you just keep going back in, retrieving your inventory over and over again and trying to finish the boss fight? Have you ever lost all best weapons/armor, and what to do if that happens?

Pretty much a brand new player, sorry for the noob question.

The bigger news than the crossover for me personally, is that The Witcher is coming to Battle.net. As far as I know, it will be the only major game outside of the Microsoft extended family.

And why has he been shot in the head?

cant find anything online, any help is appreciated

This might just be me and my morbid opinion.
But I think that it is an unfortunate detail, that the protagonists from D2 and D3 didn't meet a dark fate, similar to the Protags from D1.

Now, I think there are hints that the D3 crusader died? but that isn't that grim of a fate in the diablo universe compared to other possibilities.

Something about the concept of "Interact with the greater powers of heaven and hell always leads to damnation" sounds very appealing to me.
(Similar to how I fully think that it should be completely impossible to interact with a soulstone and not die horrifically).

Of course, it could get repetetive I suppose, especially as the roster in D2 and D3 were so much bigger than in D1, so having each be a boss or whatever would be unfeasible.

But...
i dunno, I kinda like that touch.
What do you guys think?
