Drops were random. You might kill a boss and get no gear good for YOUR character, but you might get a item that great for ANOTHER character, so youd put it up for trade for an item YOU NEED. Also Diablo 2 was a great deal harder than Diablo 3. You had to make sure you were prepared for that next step.
Diablo 3 at release and Diablo 3 now are very very different. D3 now is a solid ARPG, and while its not the same as Diablo 2, it has certainly has its own niche. I'm not going to get into a pissing contest about it, because the D2 purists are total nutjobs when it comes to that, but if you think D3 is still a shitheap of a game based on what
Not much is known about Diablo 4, but the game looks much more similar to Diablo 2 than Diablo 3, meaning there is hope for a darker ARPG.
For those raised on Diablo 2’s inspiration, like Torchlight, Path of Exile or even Diablo 3, some of the intervening years’ innovations will be hard missed.
Until they turned it into a theorycraft simulator. Diablo 4 does have combat similar to Diablo 3, but they brought back the 5 level skills like Diablo 2, combat is much slower like Diablo 2, the atmosphere 100 percent went away from goofy fantasy of Diablo 3 back to the dark, gritty, and grotesque fantasy of Diablo 2.
Character building doesn't have training wheels, but the underlying skill system underneath isn't any more flexible than Diablo 3's, it just asks you to work a bit harder to find its pre-assembled
I played Diablo 2 a couple of years ago and I dropped it in half the game because it was amazingly easy. My build was a necromancer and almost all I did was build my skeleton army But damn this game feels like it has really hard bosses. I just killed the Resurrected Malice and it has cost me A LOT
That's before we even talk about the fact D4 has a far more interesting online/multiplayer setting, open-ish world with tons of stuff to explore, top notch cinematics and better story telling, mounts, and tons of other improvements. Last Epoch is fun but it doesn't stand a chance. #13. Cable Mar 17 @ 5:48pm.
