You know what was fun in diablo2?

You had enough time in battles to read the name of rare mobs, not like this 0.1 second full screen clear game that poe has become.

Sometimes i really just runned like a chiken from some really strong ones.

ahh.. good times...

Yaaaa, I will say if I had to give one complaint about POE, it's just how fast everything goes.

And I don't mean like omg gogo only meta builds, more like almost every skill will start to screen clear. Which I'm fine with, but only to an extent. It's too bad with 16 tiers of maps, it feels like 1-13 end up being the same difficulty.

But yea, would be rad to have to actually deal with different mobs mechanics, and have rares actually be difficult.

Maybe a future PL option? Rares get 400% + hp?

yea slow and boring thats what diablo 2 sounds like.

Whatever hes telling you right here right now is not how it was it was a fast paced game unless well your build wasn't optimized in anyway shape or form.

It was basically poe but OP never got to that level in D2.

Eldrict the rectifier, pindleskin, bishibosh, rakanishu, shank the overseer, frozenstein, treehead woodfist(or treefist woodhead?), ismail... If I tryhard I could remember 5-10 more.

You have a time to read all of the names. Included mods, immunities...

Even in D3 i could read the elite's mod like waller, avenger, arcane enchanted...

In poe forget the unique monsters and their mods I dont even know the map's boss names.

I started in the end of Beast. Killed uber elder last league. I dont even know mobs name except roa, sea witch and goatman

Thats acceptable. As long as it does not slow my game down.

Yeah like in HC you would farm shank the overseer he would die in less than a second

Andy
pindle
baal

etc it was all boss runs / rare mob runs and they would die in less than a second unless once more like the OP I guess didn't have that power level you didn't even need JSP as someone insulted me earlier with it. It was just basic farming / trading on your own that's it

That was the point of D2 kill fast as you can get the shitty loot most of the time repeat that's it like I have no recollection of memories where it took long to kill a rare mob than usual.

I remember blood runs and later throne runs at high speeds with enigma teleporting and whatnot. The upside of it was that we did it in parties. In PoE we do most stuff alone... I miss the parties Gorge, Strand, Beachhead, Plateau etc. runs. Now it's just "leecher parties" and lots of soloing because it just takes too much time finding a decent party for anything decent now.

Only if we talk about modded/hacked D2.

Vanilla d2 was never a game as fast as poe (it was fast at level 90+ but not THAT fast ). I did had similar boss kill time however (less than 10 sec).
