If Diablo 2 belonged to this era...

Man I miss D2.


You could still play D2 :)

I've felt the same way a lot of times. So I'd fire up my copy of D2 (I still have the discs for it lol), play for about an hour, realize that it's boring now, and what I was actually missing were the memories of my old days of D2. So, I close D2 and go to playing some newer game.
Fun fact is that the most annoying thing in PoE for me is that every build is focused around 1 skill only and then we just spam it over and over like LA, EK, FP etc. I miss more skill usage.
It is fun because I did the same in D2 back in the days, spamming Bone Spirits or Frozen orbs and it was fun at that time but not now. I dont look forward to play an Ice Spear toon in the new expansion.
OP brings up some good point.
Just a sec let me grab a beer...@#*@ Ok how did I die this time

Learn the rules, it's the only way to exploit them.
nobody mentions the tppk or dupe or the server wait count (8000+)?

Haha, we used to play D2 at scholl with my friend not so long ago on my notebook during the class (No worries, we graduated). It was fun definitely but yeah the game is old now. Back than it really was "wow" worthy.
I understand the point of this thread I just hope PoE stays around for a long time. And when the time comes for GGG to move on, hopefully we'll get offline version which the community could mess up with (adding mods and what not).

I dont do that, i use around 5 or 6 skills depending on what i deem useful for any given build. I do lots of hybrids like summoner/ST scion and 2h staff/summoner marauder.

Not everyone does these 1 button 6L items builds that get their 10k dps easily and faceroll most parts of the game.

This thread made me giggle.

D2 was great for its time but it has run its course and is now overrated as hell when compared to current games in its genre. Its the nostalgia nuts that keep comparing D2 to POE and claim D2 is better and same with D2 to D3 even though that one is a bit more fair, D2 pales in comparison to todays standards.



That all depends. If you want to compare hardcore summoning (D2) to casual summoning (D3), PoE is very similar to D2, for example.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!
