Diablo 2 RPG

I find that Diablo 2 is a rich fantasy RPG, its online play is some of the best. Is there anyone around here familar with this RPG and wants to talk about it?

Re: Diablo 2 RPG

The Diablo series has always stayed true to the fundmentals of rpgs: choose from the standard archetypes of fantasy, fight hordes of minions within a quest of a larger scale, and upgrade levels along with items as the player goes through his/her quest. Honestly, I like that. Don't get me wrong, I fully support rpgs that are brave enough to offer us a truly original and progressive story, but there is also something to be said about a game that stands back in the storytelling to allow online players to customize their experience in a free-range enviroment.

And speaking of free...that is what I really admired about the Diablo series. You just can't beat free online servers.

[Note: Novocane, you have a good topic here (If you check the old gaming threads, you will find that I have, at times, desperately tried to bring this game series into discussion!), but I almost didn't bother reading your post because the font color was so intrusive. Please consider changing your font color in your posts and signature so we all can fully enjoy what you have to share with the community. ]

Yeah, I realized that, I use it in other forums where there are darker backgrounds and it stands out better. I switched to a darker green for now, but for my old posts just highlight them.

Anyway, since you are experienced in the Diablo 2 RPG
what characters do you possess?
Type: Pally, Sorc, Barb, Druid, etc.

Specific Type: Ice Sorc, Hammer Pally, Elemental Druid, Bow Zon, etc.

Level:

Good Items:

Re: Diablo 2 RPG

I bought Diablo 2 the day it came out, played a barbarian for a few months then spent the next few years hating the game, until for no particular reason I decided to pick it up again in the middle of my finals-bad idea. Now I have a level 35 Bowazon who I thought rocked, until I bought the expansion pack and now I have a 21 shifter/summoner druid who's coming on very nicely and is much more fun to play. Werebear is daft at this stage, I'm just carving chunks out of everyone. My only problem is that I just can't stop playing. I have 2 parts of isenhart's armory and I want them all! I just don't understand how, given that I'm really opposed to this kind of story-free, button clicking rpg in principle, I get so addicted (I was even worse with Evercrack). In summary, Diablo's a great/awful game.
