Curious. Which graphics mode runs better? Original graphics or Resurrected graphics?

 

[Damigos]

Anyone know differences between PS4/PS5/PC editions ?
Trying to find comparison video with resolution frame rate etc but cant find any.

 

[sircaw]

About to finish Act 2 on my solo play through where I decided to take my time. I wonder if the cow level was included in the beta. Will test tomorrow.

don't you need to kill Baal first in order to access cows?

 

[BigBooper]

Does the PC version have an auction house worked in or any reason I'd want to get XSX version instead like D3?

What ya mean runs better? Original D2 runs at 25 frames whereas Resurrected runs at 60fps.

I’d imagine bots will eventually become a bigger issue on PC than console but they’re the same game.

I have it on XSX and it runs beautifully.

 

[DavidGzz]

So, I never had to use the mouse wheel to zoom on PC like others but I just noticed if you hold Z and mouse wheel one click at a time you can play zoomed in a bit. Pretty cool.

Thanks! I'll probably be getting on XSX too, but if my brother wants to play too I'll be ok going pc then.

I'm new to D2, and loving it. Questions for you old heads :

Which is the most beginner class? I dug sorceress, but it was way harder to survive compared to face smashing as Barbarian.

What's the strategy to if you die to get your stuff back? Just save, exit, and relaunch for it to be in town ?

Without going too deep into a build, does everyone need STR ? Seems mandatory to equip armor on everything?

best class for starters are amazon , barbarian and paladin imo
save and exit and relaunch if you dont want to go back to the spot where you died
STR is important only for build or class that relies on melee .

Will a sorceress not get any new body armor if no str is used then ? Stuck with forever green ?

Sorceress plus charged bolts seems to be the go to for early game. She's by far my easiest class. Melts the whole screen. Seems that druid may be up there as well. It's the class Mr. Llama used to beat both acts super quickly.

she wont need armor with high defense since your aim is to get rid of every enemy with your ranged magic as quickly as possible, first dump points into mana when you level up and increase your MANA pool , later on you can spare a few points for STR if you fancy an armor with high defense rating

I’d play whatever interests you. Keep in mind the Necro will struggle in act 2 if you go summoner route as there are a lot of very narrow passages.

edit: nvm forgot there is no necro in beta so disregard

You can go back to where you died and recover your body. By doing this you also recover part of the experience you lose when you die. If you exit the game, you won't recover the experience.

 

[Inviusx]

My memory of original D2 is failing me, were potion drops always this abundant?

 

[chixdiggit]

Ah this is killing me. I really want to play but don't want to burn myself out with the wipe.

I’m farming gear for my lvl 24 paladin…not sure why. Maybe I’ll roll a new character to mix it up.

If anyone needs help with any quests on Xbox feel free to hit me up.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

I really, really wish this game was out already

 

[Arsic]

I really, really wish this game was out already

Not long now!

I'm playing a class I won't play on release during beta and skipping cut scenes and dialogue. Once full release comes out I'll do a new class and enjoy it all slowly.

I'm weird.

I think I’m going to take a break from my paladin tonight and do a fresh play through as an Amazon. Abandoned my sorc because I’ll likely play that class once the full release happens

 

[DavidGzz]

Woah, so if you hover over your belt in the inventory on controller you can fill it with potions by just pressing the right stick. Nice. That plus the autosort makes controller inventory management fine.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Is this going to have local co op like Diablo Tree?!?!!

God I wish I knew this 24 hours ago

 

[ntropy]

no, they patched it back then to be less stingy on drops and buyable in stores

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Hey guys, how's the yellow rare drop? I remember it 20 years ago as actually rare (unlike D3 where orange drops are way too frequent).

 

[Con-Z-epT]

No.

 

[Naru]

I played this back in the day but remember nothing. How does online coop work in Resurrected? None of my friends wants to get this because "it's old and we played it 20 years ago already". Is there drop in drop out?

I’m not sure what you’re asking

 

[Paasei]

I'm scared to trust Blizzard with a pre-order. Don't mind not having access to an unfinished version of the game.

It was like that in the original so yes.

 

[Warablo]

I too want to grind this game real bad but dont want burnout and no progress carry over.

Also would have been interesting if they changed the share loot drops to private, also hope they eventually get rid of the ladder only runewords. Would be interesting if they made other skills/builds more viable too.

 

[cormack12]

Whoa sorceress is powerful but squidgy as fuck lol

 

[Yoshichan]

Oh don't mind me, just flexing

 

[Gordon Freeman]

Any word on the PS5 and XSX versions?

Not sure which version to grab owning both consoles.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I really doubt there will be any difference graphically. I'd go with whatever your controller preference is.

 

[Jaysen]

Depends, do you prefer 25fps at 800x600 or 60fps at 1080p?

 

[Brofist]

Just wait a few days and play the open beta then

 

[Concern]

No cross play and no local coop = no buy

With crossplay I'd easily have 8 people to coop with. Otherwise its probably just me and 1 or 2 other people.

Like holy fire pala personally, the second act i basically charged around and everything was dying in a couple of ticks, the radius of the aura is pretty sweet too, stretching all the way to my screens boundary.

Couple that with being able to shop for a scepter with + holy fire aura and resist fire, which has a synergy with the build, its pretty damn cool starter build.

It will tailor off when you get too nightmare, but that's where the holy shock comes in i suppose

 

[ClanOfNone]

Took a sorceress to 15, looks and plays pretty good but I think I'm done with the betas if progress doesn't carry over.
UI feels like a regression from D3, but I guess they wanted to keep it close to the original as possible.
Looking forward to it, if I sink even a quarter of the time into this that I did for D3 it'll be money well spent.

Also, why does the beta keep dropping badass Necro gear when ya can't even use the dang class!

No local coop? That's shit.

 

[Concern]

That's what I've been seeing. I mean how can you leave that out? Then crossplay as well when cod is one of the biggest crossplay games out.

Fuck these guys and whatever drama they have going on behind the scenes lol

 

[MagiusNecros]

Depends, do you prefer 25fps at 800x600 or 60fps at 1080p?

That's rather disappointing to hear that the legacy graphics run at 25fps. Because they appeal to me more then the modern graphics. Oh well.

Essentially you get as much STR as you need to wear the items you want to wear and not a point over that.

You obviously don't have a plan for what to wear, so...

I think sorceress are a bit tough for your first playthrough ever, but they're very rewarding later on.

What about rogue and paladin ?

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

What about rogue and paladin ?

They’re both great as a starting class. Amazon if you like ranged, paladin if you like melee.

paladin would prob be a bit easier, but both should be able to clear both acts without much trouble.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

What about rogue and paladin ?

What he said, Amazon for range and Paladin for melee are good newbie options.

 

[TheMan]

You know I really thought I would love this, and to be fair I’m having fun. But the feeling of been there done that is just too pervasive after having playing a lot over the years (even though I was never hardcore about it per se.) thinking about cancelling my preorder if the blizzard app allows that…

 

[bronkonagurski]

I never played Diablo 2 back in the day. Really enjoying the the remaster, it is cool to be able to switch the graphics back and forth from old to new. Main issue I'm encountering so far is when I exit the game and go back to play later, the game crashes a lot trying to get back in with my Barbarian character.
