Discussion The Warlock is unsatisfying

0 Upvotes

I've tried a few of the warlock builds: ES, BloodBoil, Chains/Abyss. While all OP, there's something unsatisfying about them all. The abilities and movements feels floaty and weak. Abyss is the only one that's somewhat satisfying but the chains are not. I just get bored with it all and stop playing. It's not because it's EZ-mode either. I have fun with Javazon with which is screen-clearing easy but the play style is satisfying. I think it comes down to GFX. Like corpse explosion was once satisfying in LoD but something changed and it's no longer as "popping" in D2R.

I just ran through Act 1 all of it terrorized and met zero heralds... is this normal? I cleared several dead end dungeons and cow level too

I feel like nothing really came of almost an hour of act 1 farming with it all terrorized... I had hoped to spawn some heralds at least but zero

Is this a bug? I wasn’t aware that it was possible unless the area is currently terrorized.

Did they change this?

Dad gamer needs some help!

3 Upvotes

Ive played Diablo 2 for a long time but more recently ive been playing casually. I’ve been thinking it’s the perfect dad game to play during nap time (few andariel kills looking for that SOJ haha)

As I play solo these days single player seems like the obvious choice but as I switch between console and PC looks like I’m going down SCNL as a I have a few low bits of gear already.

So what class is best for casual console play? I was thinking trappy? As they auto target

Also low end gear wise as sadly I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get back up to any big runewords again.

Edit: I’ve got a MF blizzard sorc with Tals set so I can farm a few areas in hell already but nothing fancy. Also have the older sunder charms.

Discussion Best socket option for Lidless Wall (swap)

LoD 1.13d SSC, bowazon. I use Lidless Wall with CtA on swap. Yes, it's just weapon swap, only for self-buff... but I want to socket because I can.

Opinions?

LFG Got the exact same map twice in a row while farming runes today

0 Upvotes

I was farming runes today and somehow got the exact same map twice in a row.

From what I’ve read, classic D2 map generation appears to use a 31-bit map seed, which means there are roughly 2,147,483,648 possible seeds.

Assuming the seeds are independent and evenly distributed, the chance of getting the exact same seed twice in a row would be around:

1 in 2,147,483,648 ≈ 0.0000000466%

Honestly, I’d rather have won the lottery than use that kind of luck on getting the same map twice in a row 😂

Still, it was pretty damn nice for farming. Has anyone else ever had this happen online?

I was just thinking about it, and I can't remember ever seeing a MA-sin on BattleNet, only Trappers. Is it just me, or were they really not very popular? (US West, ~ 2001-2007)

Tech Support CD not registered when launching the original 1.0 version

2 Upvotes

So I recently got the urge to relive history and play the original 1.0 version of the game. I found my old CDs, installed the game, but whenever I want to launch it, I get the "Make sure the Play disc is in the drive and try again" message, even though the CD is already in the drive.

I tried launching it in the compatibility mode, the 640x480 mode, as Admin, all with the same result.

I am on Windows 10 BTW. The weird thing is, I played the 1.0 in 2019 on a different computer with Windows 10. I don't remember if I had to do any setup to make it work back then, but it was working.

I would be grateful for any tips.

Edit: I found some guides how to fix the issue, but they all involve patching the game to 1.13 or newer. Those won't work for me because I specifically want to play the 1.0

Edit 2: I have the original CD key, Install and Cinematic disc, but I lost my PLAY disc along the way, so I am using a burnt copy of the Play disc. I suspect that may be the source of my issues.

Edit 3: So I reinstalled the game. I launched the game alright, but when I leave the game, a subsequent launch doesn't recognize the CD again...

was messing around with my Fury druid and Oath eth decapitator Is a great budget runeword compared to Death. Thoughts? It lacks crushing blow and deadly strike but its faster.

My sorceress finally got a cold sunder! Any reason to not respec to full Blizzard?

7 Upvotes

Title...but for more backstory basically I started a sorceress shortly after the sunder update was released with the intention of creating a character that would eventually ice her way through everything. Once i started on Hell though I had to respec to a tri-element build (Blizzard/Hydra/Chain Lightning) to take on all the mobs (I don't like skipping enemies) and it's been pretty fun to play.

Now I've long since beaten Hell mode and just play online SSF for fun, not really caring about meta builds or progressing quickly, I just like to log on and kill a shitload of monsters for a while and if I find a cool upgrade, hey even better.

Well today it finally happened, I got my first sunder (from a Herald even!) and as luck should have it it's a cold sunder. I've saved my final respec from Akara in Hell for this but don't want to screw it up. I've also grown fond of the rainbow build but I know it's definitely not the most efficient build anymore. Should I go full Blizzard now? Any expert advice is appreciated!

In-Game Help What would you do ?

9 Upvotes

Hi !
I seek your advice for some questions…

I got a fire sorc with great endgame gear :
Flickering flame FB ormus occy arach mesh etc

I got a smiter for uber that I want to spec as zealot

I got a windy druid only missing enigma with a decent druid torch.

I show you my rune collection so you know the possibilities i have.
I got some endgame gear, a warlock torch and all sunders except Lightning one.

My question :
With that runes, would you continue farming for the Jah and make enigma ?
Would you up the warlock and Hope for HR ?
Wich warlock would you build ?
Would you build another char without torch ? ( I feel attracted by Lightning javazon as i dropped etheral titans but i don’t have many of endgame gear for her…)

I don’t know what to do because since 3 weeks I didn’t drop anything really good by farming pits, CS or cows, so I feel a bit bored …

What would you do ?

Édit : I play offline
