Who do they think they are? I've been playing this series they created for years, and they fuck everything up like they own it. Priceless. The 'dark and dreary' Diablo 2 screenshot speaks volumes. |

All I remember about early Diablo 2 was how fucking annoying Necros with tons of pets were before you could walk through them, and how it was inadvisable to level Zeal too much as a pally since there was no swing cap on it. If you leveled the shit out of it you'd click and have to wait as your pally swung at the air 400 times rapidly.
I could have swore 1.10 patch put a cap on Zeal's Max number of attacks. It actually sucked balls when it happened... did they remove the cap in a later patch? Trust me you don't want it to come back. 20 swings doesn't sound that awesome when every hit spawns 94874194174179 lightning sparks that takes away 1/3 of your HP in Nightmare. Especially with some mobs that has a flame breath attack, your pally just swing like an idiot while he starts a BBQ on your face. |

Used to be you didn't put more than like 4 points in because you didn't want to get zeal-locked. Now you don't put more than like 4 points in because once you max out your swings, there are better places to put them. Really, not much has changed.

There's nothing like killing an act boss and having it hork up four yellow weapons, only to realize that one is an amazon spear, two are those worthless fucking assassin claws, and the one axe you could use is ethereal. Fucking game.
I especially resent those assassin claws. They shouldn't even fucking drop in a game with no assassin in it. Fucking vendors won't even pay anything for them. Boss may as well have dropped two cracked sashes.

Diablo II tops North American PC sales.Which is completely expected and not very interesting. The top five PS2 game sales in Japan is much more interesting: 1. Hanayoi Romanesque: Ai to Kanashimi -- Limited Edition (Marvelous) 2. Harukanaru Jikuu no Kade 4 (Koei) 3. Hisshou Pachinko*Pachi-Slot Kouryaku Series DS Vol. 12: CR Shinseiki Evangelion - Shito, Futatabi (D3 Publisher) 4. Harukanaru Jikuu no Kade 4 -- Treasure Box (Koei) 5. The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match -- NeoGeo Ultimate Collection (SNK Playmore).

Woohoo! Found my DII discs, and even found the Lord of Destruction expansion pack. Also found the Rome: Total War disc that has been missing since I moved 18 months ago  |

Yea, I'm having the same thing going, pretty much nada on the useful drop front. Not that I need any gear, I'm playing a necromancer with skeleton spec and the game is so easy it's starting to get boring. I'll probably start over with something less imba. I bet I'll get all necromancer drops then... |

Damnit, what're those things called? Synchronicities? Sync-ups? Why can't I remember this? Anyway, the build is 100% viable in hell, whereas the summoner.. Well, he's a LOT harder to play. |

I'm finding that my Sorceress, whilst amazing against hordes of little mobs, is fucking useless against boss mobs. She's got most of her points in Chain Lightning, Thunderstorm, Charged Bolt and Lightning Mastery, a few in Frost (armour and spells for the occasional lightning-immune mob). Any advice where I should go to improve single target damage, or am I stuck kiting boss mobs for 45 mins each to get them down? Level 39 in Nightmare btw.

You don't need much else than Frost Ball. For Frost 'mune' mobs, it does awesome damage since it still hurts as it tunnels through them.

One of you artistically inclined people add the D3 teaser images to the tail end of that gif - it's kinda close to the eyeball color.
