Path of Diablo Ladder Reset October 6th
Hey dudes Greendude has announced an official date for the next Path of Diablo ladder reset. I made a thread about it last time, and some folks seemed interested, so here we are again. The ladder will be resetting on October 6th, along with the launch of Patch 12: Edenite. The patch notes and all of that will be available closer to the release obviously, but there have been some "leaked" spoilers from Greendude, which you can see on the Patreon page. The last reset saw the most exponential growth we have experienced yet (to the point that the login servers basically caught fire and died xD but don't worry... all of that has been upgraded and we should be good to do this time!), going from 5-700 players at launch to over 2,000, which is HUGE for a private server/mod for a game that is 17 years old. We are expecting even more players this time, so it will be a really great time!
For those that are unfamiliar with Path of Diablo, it is a private-server "mod" for Diablo II: Lord of Destruction that seeks to introduce a lot of quality of life changes, as well as re-balance a lot of skills and items in order to make more potential builds "viable", rather than just the same old stuff you always saw on Bnet. The "Path of" connection comes in the form of some new additions, mostly new skills, that offer interesting new ways to play the game, borrowed from and inspired by Path of Exile. These include new skills like Discharge, Ground Slam, Flame Dash, and Freeze Pulse. In addition to the new skills, Path of Diablo has an end-game "mapping" system similar to the end game in Path of Exile. This offers new zones with higher levels (87+) for you to explore, and makes the process of leveling higher up more interesting that just sitting in Baal's throne all day. The QOL changes are things like an expanded stash, easy muling (games become permed in 30 seconds instead of 5 minutes), the ability to ctrl+click to move things in and out of your stash, and the addition of LOOT FILTERS!! Lastly, and for me, most importantly, the community is awesome, and we have rules in place that really have cut out basically all of the things that have killed bnet. Botting? NOPE. PK'ers? NOPE. RMT? NOPE. Multi-clienting? NOPE. All of that stuff is bannable in Path of Diablo (and done so actively), and it really makes it an amazing place. Anyone that is a Path of Exile fan that also has fond memories of Diablo II, I really hope you check it out! If anyone has any questions or needs help getting set up or connecting to our gateway please feel free to send me a message, or check out the Path of Diablo reddit, discord, etc. which I will link below: Path of Diablo Official Site Reddit/r/PathOfDiablo Patreon (where you can see some leaks) PoD Wiki How to start playing!
