Use a thawing potion (or more). Big cold resistance boost for 30 seconds per potion. Makes him MUCH easier.

Yeah I should have said on PC.
I have it on Switch as well and it is indeed .... not as impressive there.

There'll be mods and trainers in a month's time for offline characters, as they are stored locally.
But I don't see how a trainer adds to the longevity of the game. Shortcuts do the opposite.

for offline mods, plugy is the only one I miss.

I felt the same way initially, but then realized there's a lot of gold drops and you don't need the majority of items that drop. I also remember reading about how limiting inventory space makes you have to pick and choose. I just leave a lot of items on the ground and don't bother. If you feel it's worth it to go back to town, then that's your choice, but it will take longer. Then again you'll probably have more cash than those who don't.
You're not supposed to be able to horde items and be loaded with cash from the constant drops. Magic items are not rare in this game, and there's literally millions of items due to the randomness of the magic prefixes. I found the items with + class-based spells usually go for the max of 5k, like wands. Those are worth picking up and don't take a lot of space.

You made the right choice, friend. AFAIK, Warcraft III: Reforged never went on sale (at least not for the first couple of years) despite being considered a trainwreck. Blizzard and Nintendo are pretty similar in regards to keeping prices high for way too long.

What is Gold even used for? I stock all of it with not much use for it. I guess i could gamble but the items are usually crap anyway

It's pretty amazing that an addicting game has an addicting game within it. I remember stacking up cash just to run back to town and gamble it all away. Rinse and repeat... Like a damn crack fiend. lol

The main thing to gamble for are Cornets. Diadems in particular. They have a rather high chance to have good stats including +skills.
Also, since price of gambling for rings and amulets are fixed, the higher level you are the more worth it it is to gamble for them.
Note that it is hard to get enough gold unless you habitually run gold find characters or know what trash worth more. most 1-hand and 2-hand casting items that have +skills tend to be worth a lot, even if they are not magical.

I decided to leave a 4os pole axe on the ground thinking I’ll find something better
fast forward like 16 hours of playing and nothing
I should have kept the damn thing

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Finally caved and got this for the Switch.
I'm pissed though - I guess there isn't a way to play the game without linking your Battle.net account. I tried doing that - I haven't signed into battle.net in a couple of years - and it's asking me for a copy of my photo ID. I'm not fucking giving blizzard a copy of my photo ID. And apparently, refunds aren't a thing for the Switch so I'm just fucked I paid $40 for a cutscene.
Fuck Blizzard.

Ya, I really want to make a goldfind barb, but the thought of leveling him up is horrifying to me.
If I find some Ali Baba's I will look into it.

I suspect your account was the target of suspicious activity while you were away. I remember a few years back when I tried to log back into my original bNet account (it was near a decade since I did it) they did the same thing. I later read that means someone persistent tried to get into it. Essentially your account is "locked" due to the weird activity.
I never got that account back, and just kept on using a backup one.
Man, once you get into high level gambling you're going to need millions. Gambling cost scales with item types, and more item types become available in NM and Hell. Gambling amulets and circlets is a common practice as those roll with +skills. Yellow circlets can spawn with +skills, res all, sockets and faster run/walk...all on one item.

It's better, plain and simple for me. I played all night at work with mouse and keyboard cause I needed a one button press pause button. Came home and played with a controller. Sticking and moving while I shoot fireball and firebolt dodging every arrow and monster that comes my way is so much easier. Being able to use all of the buttons instead of just left and right click and having to switch with other keys is cumbersome on keyboard in my opinion. It feels much more action game on controller.

Just found out that even if you have no characters in singleplayer, the items in the shared stash remain intact. lol. Totally messed up my initial build, forgetting that the magic lady allows you to respec your skills now, and started anew. 
Ah well, didn't lose that much play time.

Same here. There's a bunch of yellow items in there already. Looking forward to trying some of the other classes to use them on later.
Got burned out on the original Diablo II way too fast (likely due to the hype and anticipation). But I was just a teen with no sense. Hoping to play it longer and enjoy it more now.

INGAME-currency gacha.
Basically why I never play phone games. I can roll for loot boxes inside Diablo II all day every day without spending a cent of real money.
Just create a new battle.net with a throwaway email.

Just sunk a few hours in and man did I forget how truly a great this game is.
I get some of the complaints but overall to me this is leagues better than D3.
What other ARPG games should I check out that are more D2 and less D3? I already played TL2 and could never get into POE.

Is it possible to unlink later? And re-link with my proper account? Without resetting my progress?
Man, just fuck all this stuff - I only wanted to play offline anyway. Modern gaming is the absolute worst.

If you’re on PC, Grim Dawn for sure. Couldn’t get into POE myself and Grim Dawn had me by the balls. It’s no Diablo 2 though…

I actually own it already. Looks like I played 2 hours years ago. Will have to give it another go.

I stopped playing Grim Dawn because I hate the killing floor effects. The developers somehow wanted the floor to kill you no matter how you build your character.

There are none. That is why D2 21 years later is still the best. This is how bad games have become and how amazing games were in early 2000's.

I only got one character to level 100 and the end game was always rough for my build. I’d be dead in the blink of an eye against some mobs thanks to unexpected damage spikes. Never cared to see if I could mitigate that.
Grim Dawn is good game, it just can’t help but feel like a Kickstarter game at times. If Diablo 2 is fruit loops, Grim Dawn is the off brand kind. Every time I play it I always go back to Diablo 2.

Using the /players code in singleplayer levels you up way faster. Last night (on normal) I got to level 13 in the Catacombs. Tonight I hit level 13 in the Stony Fields. Huge difference.
Made a much better character this time around... spent way too many points in skeletal mastery last time, only to have the 2 skeletons I could actually summon drop like nothing later on. lol. No idea what I was thinking there.

Is there a quicker way to remove gold from the stash (PS5)?
If I only need a few grand I have to hold down on the stick which makes it lower only about 1k per sec. Which initially wasn’t a big hassle when I didn’t have much gold, but this is rapidly becoming an annoying wait as it begins at the full amount and I’m a few hundred k in.

You don’t need to withdraw any gold. It automatically takes money from your stash at vendors if you don’t have enough on you.

fun fact.
There was no mana potions for quite a while since release of D2. I'm not exactly sure but at least you couldn't buy them.

You couldn't respec your skill points either, right?

yep. warmth was huge back then.
So many things have changed. Barbs were op back then with whirlwind too. Hitting 99 was much easier as well. If you reach 90 right now, it's basically 99 back then. Sometimes I wish I could play those patches with D2R graphics.

I am sure we will get these options down the line
