wrrr

Same! Too excited for the August beta.

august has arrived

The queues have arrived

for real

how did the assasin do that whirlwind?

@@tylerborris3041 She got the skill from an item or runeword. Same goes for the teleport ability.

@@tylerborris3041 chaos runeword

Nothing better then original d2 lod back in the days damm

I miss LOD, my v/t pally :(

Yeah - I definitely got a little salty. I noticed his hammers were doing some nutty damage (usually it takes 3 to take this sin out) - so, I immediately imagined that he had more bugged gear on. 50-50 on whether I over reacted :P

Lol. You can't accept the fact when you lose to someone.

@@PinoyGuitarTutorials Uhh. You did see the +80% Block Rate / +63 shield at the end, right? That said, yeah, I probably was a bit salty.

@@zenl0n Weak.

All of these were made with an item editor, I noticed from the First claw and the Ancient Armor Enigma that it was BS also if you look at the HoZ towards the end of the video it has +63 Werewolf on it.

lol. its a trash doesnt work at pvp.

...really?

Holy foh+smite on switch. Super fun and strong

Probably cuz alpha testers got full access to all areas and difficulties of the game.

They hacked/modded the game.

@@beckmsha doesn’t blizzard immediately ban players using mods like in this video with that high block rate

The ammy is clearly hacked. There is no such thing as a lev 10 ammy with 2 skills and FCR, resist all, etc. I craft them before and usually I get lev 67.

They nerfed wolf/bear druids too hard after 1.10. Only weapon IAS counting put a serious hurt on them when Paladins and Barbs don't have such limitation.

@@DangerRussDayZ6533 well, that’s only part true. It’s not only weapon ias, off wep ias does count in certain setups, mainly with two-handed weps but in some one-handed ones it can push you over the break point.

@@Jonbmx666 That is contrary to everything I've ever heard or read about diablo 2. You might want to fact check yourself on that one.

@@DangerRussDayZ6533 you need to be more specific with what I need to fact check because everything I stated is based on my own experience pub dueling and gm melee in a wolf vs wolf ladder. Using a phase blade grief vs a barb with berserker axes and being out ranged isn’t fun so I switched to ebotd zerker and held my own just fine.

Hey there! The item was created manually for testing purposes. It appears it was created incorrected though, as the +2 Assassin Skills can't actually be an affix on the claw with the combination it has.

Yeah and if an hdin is tele stomping repeatedly, step down and right some, there is a blind spot and you can really wreck them quick

South walk was the term we used 😁

a blind spot for paladins is right up against them front on, the hammer will miss, and if your stuck in the death circle, dont run around cause its a better chance youll get hit with a hammer and be completely melted away. Hammers can do up to 8k damage each even at level 75. Crazy fcr means a storm happens pretty quick and running around is usually a death lol

my 98 hdin was impossible to beat fk i miss d2 days @@smilingbear7430

the paladin was noob tho, since all your need to do is namelock then desync charge and spam hammers. At least that is what you did in the old D2, not sure if they fixed desync in D2R. But you could kill the opponent from 1-2 screens away (at least from the opponents point of view you appear 1-2 screens away, in reality you're standing right on top of them / next to them, but they can't see you).

This was a lan game, which generally indicates lag on the host's end.

LOL

if the hdin had mad skillz, he would be charging around her, swapping to aura/hammer/charge ->tele lock when available. and this sin is just bad, walk down and never get hit by a hammer

the dude playing the sin doesnt seem too broken in on his character.

So few know about this bro xD

mock pi???

@@benoitham2527 mock pi??

give some gg mock builds / files pls

Short answer: No. That was a part of a scam from pre-1.10 d2 days (1.10 released on Oct 28 2003) where you could have a maximum of 1 corpse with equipment on, so if you accidentally equipped an item and died again, all your other equipment would "pop" and be up for grabs from others. Scammers would kill a player, flood his corpse on the ground with trash items, etc. so the player could not avoid picking stuff up, and then getting killed again, resulting in the "pop". Today, you can have something like 14-16 bodies. And if you leave a game and join again, the game will save the body with the highest gold value(in items). So just make sure not to equip any other items.

Are you serious? LMAO

You can download maxed out characters or I believe you can bring some saves over from D2 LOD but I think both of them are playing through LAN game, no bnet yet

@@IcyNipz thank you

These characters are custom made using an old Diablo 2 classic Hero Editor. The items were not manually found. This won't be something that occurs when the actual game goes live. :)

bad pvp etiquette

Just go hostile that’s it, I’m the party tab click the box left to the players name to go hostile

No

I think actually u can; but for singleplayer only

Technical alpha was out to some testers. beta starts in august with sept 23 release date.

and WW looks so bad... looks like mobile game...

dsync wasnt supposed to be in the game in the first place lol

Hilariously, I believe it does work.

@@zenl0n my friend was godly on desynch was annoying tho pretty cheap but you can stop it with certain abilities that keep them in place and trace there location

@@datiger39 Exactly. Mindblast for the win!

@@zenl0n yep widowmaker guided arrows also work good too. Not sure of all that helps but I know those work

you can download single player data.

These characters were custom created using an old Diablo 2 Hero Editor.

It is unplayable.WW is delayed (and more). Check out my tests videos. Barb is a no go at the current state, sadly.

Yeah, I mean, to be fair it's still a technical alpha. I wouldn't take any of it at face value before tweaks have been implimented.

I’m hoping they remove the quantities on arrows and throwing weapons like in PD2 so throw barbs become good

they are also playin the alpha version before the beta test so ya its mega old. They said they were addressing ww and mini other skills after the alpha.

@@Killercoldice22 Yeah, absolutely. As said in a previous comment, I wouldn't take almost any of what you see at face value.

Just bm sorb and ggez

Heh, this is a really choppy, crappy example of 'actual' D2 PVP. This was hosted via "LAN" with another player half way across the country. So, figure the ping we're playing at is probably around 300-400 at the time of this video. This was also published before the game's actual release, so it's a hot buggy mess. Actual Diablo 2 PVP is definitely ahead of it's time and isn't properly reflected by this video.

@@zenl0n 300-400 would be half way across the planet - US playing with Africa / Australia - Not half way across the country ya fkin nub :p

proper d2 pvp was like 8 people doing crazy stuff. Or you were in a game with 8 people, then some high level would hostile, and you hunt them in-game. It added randomness, and competition. You had clan rivalry etc. And it was THE END GAME to test the best of the best gear. Everyone had entire accounts of PvP chars also to change in the middle of PVP, since there was always strengths and weaknesses in builds. A good example of how good PvP was, once I was in-game then I got the SOJ count start going off, knowing it was a hot server, but it was a public game. I was stuck in this game waiting and when others joined, I tried to tell them to leave etc. Eventually someone joined and saw the SOJ count also, knowing Diablo Clone was going to pop. So we went hostile to each other, then each tried to camp unique monsters near waypoints to get the Diablo Clone first. We would track each others town portals, then try kill the unique monster they had, or kill them. This game of cat and mouse went on for a few hours, until Diablo clone popped, the other guy killed me as I was fighting Diablo, then stole the Anni. D2 PVP was awesome. It added genuine competition to the game, and made it feel like it was this ruthless world. The game was all about killing other gamers, about scamming other players, about lying to other players, ripping other players off in trades, and using bugs and hacks, with everyone yelling at each other and acting like jerks. It felt like you were in some corrupt place lol. It added to the experience and atmosphere. People who only played D3 legit have no idea. That game was a kids game in comparison. Made to not hurt feelings, made for mass appeal, got boring af and mass negative reviews.

@@Jez4prez1 thx for that 😆 I played D2 when I was 11 with a friend and we got to Act 3 and never continued. That's basically my experience. Your description sounds like those battle royal games that are popular nowadays but with more at stake. I remember playing on PvP servers in WoW and those got unpopular as no one likes random encounters with another faction as every PvP server transformed into a sole Horde or sole Alliance server of time and so the PvP was very imbalanced 😆 Back in the day I had really fun encounters in WoW though. Even had people body spawn camp me a few times. So adunno how to design random player encounters in a game. There's also the Rust approach, that one's pretty crazy and surprisingly popular. They go a step further and actually let you loot enemy players and it takes a lot of grind to get weapons and build bases in that game. DarkFall was a complete flop, the PvP did happen and was pretty great, you could lose all your loot. But the grind man... that was not fun 😆 It's not that PvP games are unpopular, but it takes a certain breed of people to grind gear and then willing to lose it in random encounters with players. EVE is also interesting for that. The PvP in D2 always seemed like a bit of a vanity project to me 😆 Where people show off their best gear against one another and fight some. But in your scenario where you actually had stakes, that's crazy. Was that even an intended game mechanic? Going into other realms, go hostile and steal boss loot. Actually this reminds me of DarkSouls now. Except there enemies can side with the enemies while chasing you down lol.

A lev 10 ammy with 2 assassin skills with FCR, LOL. I remember crafting them and be lev 67 required.

Yes u can

You mean the old days when you entered a duel game and literally 50% of ppl in it were smitedins?

when you bone wall and iron maiden them, it's still fun and games.

chargers and zealers are so ez with my libby sometimes I 7v1 people heh

Rune word "Chaos", only for Claws FalOhmUm

Yeah - it's been a while! Plus, I was likely operating under 200-240 ping (if you saw those teleport stutters in person it wasn't pleasant!)

rare/impossible to find, but what part makes it impossible stat wise? should the IAS actually be 30% capped I'm thinking?

@@zenl0n it has four Prefixes. Cruel (%ed), Fools (+AR and +Max Damage/ level), Mechanics (two sockets) and the +2 Assassin Skills. Rare items can only have three prefixes and three suffixes. The 40%IAS is fine as it's a suffix that can spawn on claws. EDIT: the uber godly ghost'sin claw would be Ethereal, Cruel, Fools, Mechanics Of Quickness, Repair and some other useful suffix (-%requirements? +Dex? Knockback?) With +3 Claw Block, Fade, Venom staffmods.

@@mephiztophelezemephiztophe31 Thanks for the explanation dude, thanks, I'll tweak the claw/fix it.

@@mephiztophelezemephiztophe31 Actually I don't think Cruel and Fools can be In the same item.

@@Sanozucke Cruel and Fools can spawn together. Cruel and Masters (+%ed and +AR) cannot.

facts

I agree , I don't think this game will do very well, I honestly would just rather play pd2 or old lod, the more I look into this the worse it looks and feels

This was a LAN game and my opponent had some lag to be fair, so I naturally was slower.
