A memory of D2 - Rush leveling

You know what part D2 was acutally fucking amazing? The ability to rush meaning you can get to 1-80 in about a few hours with a help of a friend or in general just basic runs. Leveling in this game is such a chore which I guess some of you enjoy I suppose but to me It's really not fun doing it for like the fucking 100th+ time or something silly.

So why do you do it? Seriously, you don't have to relevel at all in PoE. Think about it:

No more taking 5 seconds to attack and then missing.
No more running with 0% movement speed.
No more using your main skill with 2 links.
No more running out of mana every 0.2 seconds.

Never again. Now that's fucking amazing.

? What else will you do once a char is finished answer me that? Nothing you either liquidate it or let it rot into standard where it will not be played forever in my case.

Leveling alts / rerolling whatever you wish to call it is one of the key aspects of the game It's fairly basic logic.

Interesting thread, I_NO. I can relate to players in feeling that leveling up a second, and third character per temp league is boring.

Food for thought: If "grushing" was a thing...would GGG add a "Hellforge" style quest reward that the rushers could cash in on?

SOme just want to do end game? What end game? Oh u mean the WTB "mortal sets" in between running face roll 74 maps over and over? Which prolly explains why it takes so long to level. to distract you from them having no end game.

It would definitely be nice, i wish they can lower the level gap a bit at a minimum, for the exp penalty based on the difference between character levels.

since we are on the topic of Diablo, i would love it if Blizzard RE-mastered and Re-released Diablo 1 and 2 to celebrate the up coming 20 year anniversary for the original Diablo. I just want a higher def game where i can run the resolution higher than 800x600 =/. But to expand on the original Diablo game, i wouldn't mind having some modern features added to it. Like a stash next to Deckard Cain where the well is. Diablo 1 could be remade with some improvements.

Diablo 2 is fine for the most part, except all the engine limitations. I really did love the Art from the original game though, monsters and inventory item graphics. Blizzard can redeem from the accident that was Diablo 3 by re releasing the 1st two games. But it won't happen due to the player base. They want the future titles to be dumbed down, hence leveling up in D3 was non existent.

I've suggested before that once you get a character to level 80 or something like that in a league than you should be able to start making characters at lvl 50. It was shot down though. Mindlessly rushing through content you've seen dozens of times and deep down have no interest in is a hardcore experience.

redoing normal and cruel on a twinked char can be quite anoying since there is no real chalange.

something i would not mind is the hability to scrap characters. say i have a lv 60+ one, i scrap it (char gets deleted)and start with one of my choice but with lv 50 in act1 merciless and with all quest from normal and cruel (exept bandits) completed. we gear it up from the stash, asign the skill points and start from there.

yes i want d2 style leveling

Meh, implementing rush would be a lazy solution; it would be wise to investigate ways to make the levelling phase less repetitive, more enjoyable (like Adventure mode in D3: ROS). The difficulty system is repetitive by nature.
