as much as I loved D2, I think it will stay a fond memory and I will not play this, except if the reviews are stellar (so I'm not taking much risk here).
I bought D2 a week before going on vacation with my parents so I took with me the manual and read it over and over again. Loved that shit.

Yup, It's Diablo II all right. Just spent 15 mins buzzing around the first zone and the opening cave. Looks sharp. Nothing special because they did not increase the resolution. Is that in homage to the original and you can switch back and forth between old and new graphics? Who wanted that? I would rather be running it in 1920x1080.

Other than sharper graphics and 3 extra storage tabs, it is D2. It is pretty much what I was looking for, because I still love playing D2 but it gave my eyes gaming-cancer.

I expect 99% of people are going to be disappointed. I am not.

Feels like the mana regen was nerfed but I think I have been playing Amazon and Warrior a lot and haven't done Sorceress in ages.

Mana regen was garbage in the original as well. I distinctly remember keeping the flail from Act 3 that broke into the Durance of Hate simply because it had mana leech and was usable at low levels.

Not stackable. Stamina gets better late game.

Looks like they removed ultrawide as it completly broke the ai. I now have black bars and i didn't in alpha.

There's no reason to expect any kind of character reset after the beta, correct? File still local?

Yeah, it's a good remaster. There are some nagging issues. I think there is a memory leak in the client, and whenever I bring up the inventory and such there is a lag too. It's not too terrible though. Another thing is my ping was 110 which I didn't notice too much. I suspect they aren't using their full server fleet during this beta, and just one data center.

POE has scarred me so hard that I was expecting him to get one-shot mid rant. Then I remembered that it doesn't happen in other games.

Ulfr is a G.

Most PoE streamers die on purpose for reaction clips and to start a new char. It's pretty obvious.

Seems like the PS5 and Xbox X have messed up resolutions. You may want to hold off on buying those versions till they fix it.

The entire game is about how you cheese the mana system and getting early mana leech/mana on hit!

Dammit, I did NOT know that. Reason to play closed beta now waning. Edit - Every time I start playing D2 I forget about the bottleneck that is Duriel. GD it.

Yeah, esp early game as you and everyone said. I am just going to get gut rot from drinking all those blue potions instead.

Not stackable. Stamina gets better late game.

You literally don't even notice a stamina bar after a certain amount of Vitality, and pretty much every build pumps vitality. After, what, the first act maybe you might run out of stamina once or twice a session?
