![]() ![]() ![]() Those runs are stamped in my head due to the neverending search for keys, and since-they're-right-here loot. Nihilithak runs, Baal runs, Shenk, pindleskin, countess, and sorcerer. ![]() Then even that became a grind since the REAL game, in my opinion, opened up well after level 60 or so. Things that were out of reach suddenly just because "difficult" instead of "impossible." I used to have fun going through all the levels and doing every quest, and even every side-quest area (like The Pit, or other areas that are basically just 2-3 level areas with a sparkling chest at the end). I played this game exclusively off line and by myself for a LONG time before I decided to try playing with the Ars folks online. It's realistically, only on Bnet where you'll see the top tier items (unless you cheat the items in yourself).Īnd prepare to give up a significant chunk of your life - View image here:. Despite claims that the drop rates are the same offline as online, it's a lie (actually it's more of an inaccuracy due to how drops work). It's rather amazing how tightly Bliz managed to tie both progression and difficulty together so that it's actually a near perfect fit, which you might not see initially, but once you've done it a few thousand times, it really is pretty amazing how near perfect they got some of the mechanics. The first few times I played through D2, I was like yourself, "Just harder? Why would I want to play the same game again with just harder monsters?" But once I decided to try it, it was clear just why people keep playing it over and over and over and - you get the idea. The real challenges only come when you play with 8 players though, because monsters become exponentially tougher with each body in the game. I'll warn you now though, it can be rather daunting the first few times you enter a new difficulty, possibly even making you want to quit especially moving from Nightmare to Hell with certain character types if you've built them poorly. It really is a different game, with vastly different strategies and tactics the higher you go. Trust us, what you've experienced in Normal (aka baby D2), is NOTHING to what you'll experience in Nightmare or Hell. ![]()
