lol should have qualified that with close to Blizzard's size. Star Citizen maybe, but thats also crowdfunded scam from the start.

Oh look these dumb motherfuckers cannot even successfully launch a game that they successfully launched 20 years ago. What fucking idiots. This company needs to die on the vine.

Their servers flopped and some idiot deleted the database is likely what happened.

If you took that as I took time off *now*, then I wasn't clear I guess. I took time off 20 years ago. No way I'm touching this sjw remake.

As a TLP vet it's kind of hilarious seeing people that don't understand how the nostalgia thing works with these old games. So many people are acting like d2 resurrected is this huge deal yet in reality it won't even last longer than a week. 100% guaranteed. But people are acting like they are back in 2000 and are coming home from school to play d2.

I thought the image was because they needed gas masks to sit in an un-insulated attic all summer.

I played the “beta” ran around a bit, got to second waypoint said “neat” uninstalled. Old game is old and I sure as shit am not doing 40+ boss runs a day again on this shit. Not to mention, potion belt?! Get the fuck out of here with that.
Would rather go play Titan Quest again(recent version fix a lot of the dumb), is just a much better game, and there are better still out there.

Lol. Yeah. Last Epoch has the potion belt mechanic too. I had completely forgotten about it in d2. At first I was like what is this shit? My buddy reminded me it was a straight d2 rip. You forget a lot in 19 years.

Only reason D2 even had staying power was because on the legacy client you could buy a CD key for $10, download Kolbot and a pickit program and roll a dozen hammerdins to do nothing but farm 24/7 365 on some $100 computer in your basement.
This just allowed people to get BIS gear extremely quick and cheap so they could engage in high end PvP, people loved running around with their 57k dmg charger paladins, or zealsorc or GG fireclaw druids
D2R however is like 40GB of space and requires a pretty decent computer and it's connected to Battle.net so you can't use a loader to bring up multiple clients or run Kolbot without anticheat kicking off because it's a DLL hook.
This just means people can't farm their enigma or grief easily and now have to commit to either 1000+ lower kurast runs on players 5, or pay some shit lord $600 on D2JSP for the runes and base...
High end PvP is going to be DOA when gear doesn't exist and you just get telestomped by blizz sorcs 99% of the time, and that's 90% of the D2 playerbase
