I would remove the comma after "Enter your email", as it inserts an unnatural pause.
D3 is even worse than that. I was having so much trouble with A2 inferno that I went and bought fantastic gear from A4 inferno on the AH. Normal mobs still pretty much 4-shot me. I have to kite EVERYTHING. I'm pretty…
You could easily beast D2 on hell difficulty without resorting to that, google for "d2 build hell cheap" See: fishymancer, summonmancer, lightning sorc, windy druid, any barb, etc. And yes, in D3 you cannot progress…
The only reason people have finished inferno is because people exploited their way past Act 2-4 inferno. Blizzard closed those exploits, but the people in A4 inferno then did non-combative farming (chests+goblins) which…
Haha, I can understand that the intersection of hardcore Diablo 2 players and startup enthusiasts is small ( I'm well aware games are fun, but are a completely unproductive use of time :) ). I guess this really isn't…
I think the reason is a combination of different aspects, with varying proportions of each for different people. I would agree that one of those aspects is surmounting obstacles. For me, and I would argue for the…
That was what was great about Diablo 2. The storyline was fairly subtle, but the whole time I felt like I was really a hero struggling against the forces of evil, following this path of destruction and being scared of…
I'm kind of sad that this was downvoted. I thought on hacker news downvotes were used for factually incorrect or trolling posts, and I don't think this post is either. Can I get an explanation for the downvotes at least?
Your post would be true if not for 2 huge problems. 1) You cannot get gear good enough for progressing through Act 2 Inferno from Act 1. 2) Items are actually absurdly cheap. It's the combat that is annoying. Other than…
I believe the 3rd party website you're referring to is d2jsp.
Yeah, I think D3 nailed the social aspect of leveling. I only had one friend playing the game, but I ended playing regularly with over 10 other people that I just met in game randomly.
Pretty terrible compared to Diablo 2. If you like being ( in the story ) some unrivaled being that everyone flatters and looks up to and expects you to defeat all evil, you'll love it. Voice acting was superb, though. I…
As both a scientist and avid Diablo 2 player, this blog post is laughable in its superficiality and its claims. TL;DR: Diablo 3 was WoWified: broke itemization and skill builds, and thus replayability. In D3, finding a…
It is actually fun from 1 to 60 if you avoid the AH (though near the end of Hell you might need to). Replayability is totally down from Diablo 2 though.
