The league mechanic was excellent early. You could actually do it at low gear levels and the rewards from the tree were extremely powerful early. And then... it falls off hard. The hives can be pretty good but they are wave events and people tend to either love or hate wave events (simulacrums...

I would hope not because that's what I giving Gilligan credit for not doing. That would be some JJ Abrams or D&D hack writing. AI or Billionaires masquerading as aliens. Please no.

It seems pretty obvious to me. They set out to just make a game and they actually did, they did far more than most Kickstarted games. But it was so successful they made "holy shit i can retire" money and so they decided to retire while pretending they just didn't make enough money even though...

^^ Pretty telling, no?

Uh sure. FWIW I agree this game was/is worth the box price. But that doesn't mean the criticism surrounding the company isn't warranted or valid.

So you had an opinion about how gamers just whine about wanting shit for free without having any idea how many copies they sold or how financially successful the game already was? Cool story. Learn how to Google, or use your preferred AI

Is this a joke? Look at the amount of copies they sold within the first 30 days of launch. Compare that to their small kickstarter, and the trickle of EA purchases that kept them going for years. Years. You serious? This game was actually insanely successful. Like... unbelievably so.

That amount of money doesn't "dry out" that quick. It was either epic levels of embezzlement or theyre full of shit. I just happen to believe its option 2. They became much wealthier than they imagined, didn't feel like working anymore, phoned it in for a year then decided it was easier to sell...

They were trying to take down a behemoth that actually does give away content for free, and they made promises that even though they were going to charge a box price initially they were going to follow that same model. And people bought it. Very literally, with real money, bought it. They lied...

You believe that they are failing as a company. I'm not sure why. This game is wildly successful and the second they got their major payday they stopped giving a shit. And make no mistake, it was a major payday. You can believe they are a struggling small indie studio just attempting to keep...

They made some promises based around justifying a box price. They sold a shitload of copies at that box price. They put zero effort into keeping their promises after their big pay day came through. They put zero effort into even attempting to create and sell MTX. They very quickly sold to a...

I recommend starting as a Summon Zon and playing it like a caster (use FCR and +skills gear, forget about shooting a bow yourself). That will be the easiest way to get into maps and trade for gear. Also, use an Act 4 Dark Mercenary, he casts amp damage. You can hire them at Tyrael in A4

Okay so the skills are mostly named the same for Zon but they have changed a lot. You can actually play a summoner zon in this game. Decoy is VERY strong and valks are decent tanks and you get an extra valk every 10 hard points into the skill. Cold and Fire Arrow (the skills) also function...

What class are you playing? Lots of the skills have the same name but function differently and there are also entirely new skills.

Welp, shit. I did miss that.

The servers have been a little taxed with the influx of players this season. You can usually either just join a public game or switch regions and try to create games there. Also the queues aren't real, its a bug thats been in game creation forever. If you get put in a queue just cancel and try...

If you have trouble installing PD2 itself go to the tech support section of their official discord. The newer CD keys can cause issues.

Log in to battle.net Go to Account Settings -> Games & Subscriptions -> Scroll all the way to the bottom to Classic Games

It is, they just hide it for some reason. https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-ii https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/product/diablo-ii-lord-of-destruction?p=464

Gotta be the OG

No new classes but lots of new skills, you can check the pd2 wiki for info.

I dont know much about ascension. PD2 just took a bunch of ideas from modern ARPGs (mostly PoE) and modded Diablo 2 with those ideas and mechanics. Its fully online, has a real, homegrown trading website, just launched its latest season yesterday (season 12) and had 15k concurrent online users...

Project Diablo 2. This thread should probably renamed as I don't think anyone here actively uses this thread to talk about D2R.

Google paints a picture of pure greed honestly. Last Epoch has sold over 3 million copies, 2.1million of which came from steam sales directly following their full launch (February 2024). They are/were a small studio so those kinds of sales should have kept them going for many years but within 1...

Im not talking about spoon feeding, I'm talking about perspective. The show is almost entirely from Carol's perspective, which is just kind of odd. The show is good, and interesting but it pays almost no attention to the antagonist at all other than from Carol's perspective. That was my...

Tuco said it perfectly above you That was the point I was making. There is very little perspective other than Carols which isolates what the viewer is subjected to. And "All the conversations" and "Showing them in a lab" would correlate but expanding to "obviously it was a nucleotide sequence"...

You might want to try out the superior version of D2.

Maybe you're right. Maybe the scene where the SETI @ home enthusiasts found some cryptic, far off communication and then had an "AH HA" moment that cut away to a military facility that, apparently is tied to these enthusiasts, was obvious. Actually, probably, most people would agree that the...

There is an awakened poe style trade addon available now for PD2. Windows defender will warn you but it is legit https://errolgr.github.io/pd2-trade/

They showed how they deal with the military. They kiss them. This show pays almost no attention whatsoever to the origin of the hivemind. Carol is trying to investigate the hivemind itself and that's a major plotline but the "where did this come from and how did it get into that lab rat" is...

Why do you think your bank account has way less encryption? You believe that Bitcoin has proprietary security that is leaps and bounds ahead of our financial sector? Really?

Really? I have to spell out I'm talking about this chick? Sorry shes from that little island just south of India.

I was talking about the Indian broad. Not the weird Air Force 1 bro.

It might be my increasing disdain because I'm a software developer but I started watching this and this fucking Indian cunt in episode 2 is really setting me off. Its like I'm on a zoom call with these worthless, stupid fucks who all act exactly like this dumb bitch.

The bureaucracy is directly driving the affordability. There is a reason you cant get seen by a pcp when you need to. Because primary care facilities are being driven entirely by administrators that want to herd us like cattle and keep everyone booked no matter what. And that means you cant even...

Yooo, when's the Kool-Aid being served?

There are of course the stupid, the uninsured, and the scammers, but increasingly people go to urgent care and the ER because the bureaucracy at their pcp means they cant even get a visit or just a phone call for minor incidents. So they go to where they can if its "bad enough" (aka things like...

Just don't even buy insurance. The best thing Trump did was remove that fucking ludicrous penalty for abstaining from all this. You even alluded to being able to negotiate on your own behalf without insurance. That's actually the best way to fix all this shit. Maybe even the only way. Old...

Its not that the ACA is convoluted and retarded. It's that the ACA very literally "poked the bear" that is these behemoth insurance companies. It fast forwarded them trying to fuck us in as many ways as possible because it incentivized them to do so. And they did. There was never any chance that...
