Can't even remember there being an assassin! Assassin, and Druid, were expansion characters, maybe why you don't remember them? The classes really aren't balanced the way they would be today, some are actually quite poor, and some are just overpowered. I guess it will handy to re-roll skills unlike you used to not be able to, though it does take away the need to have multiples of each character. RIP orbsorc, lightningsorc, blizzardsorc  |

It's downloaded :squeal:
Yeah 8MB is shit, I know first world probs etc
The bt cab is right outside our house so I have fttc and then less than 25 meters of copper but I'm clearly being artificially capped. Wish they'd just uncap it. I might not need full fibre

Never played Diablo II so giving this a go. Been quite surprised by how similar to Iitan Quest it all looks. That must have just lifted its UI and spear animation wholesale from this.

I got chills hearing the title music just now.
This might be me for a good while. Fucking brilliant, 450 quid+ just to play Diablo 2 until Xmas. What the actual fuck XD

I'm just a bit mystified that for said 20 year old game we have to decide between performance and quality mode on a new console.

It's just bizarre. When you can get games on PS4 like TLOU2, Ghost of Tsushima looking and running like they do, yet a generation on and the console can't run a 20 year game at 4K 60fps...

if d3 can be run at 4k60 then i'm sure this will after a patch or 2.
i only have a 1440p monitor so hopefully there is supersampling in it

Yeah, 4pm for UK and Scotland. I'm supposed to be at the pub at half 5, so I don't know how that's going to work out. I still can't decide what to roll. There's a mini class guide here that is good to refresh your memory - www.pcgamer.com/uk/diablo-2-build-class-guide/ |

Seems weird that there aren’t any reviews available prior to release.

Quick question. The Ethereal stat on items - means you can't repair the item - got that.
But can you give Ethereal items to your merc? I.e., does mercenary equipment also need repairing over time, or not?
Edit - ignore me - it says in the article - merc's equipment doesn't lose durability. I'd delete this post, but thought I'd leave it, in case anyone else was wondering/had forgot.

It also massively increases damage, so you always want an eth merc item, as well as any runewords that have the Indestructible suffix |

I'm planning on letting my merc die and not resurrecting them, which I think is a thing. I don't like AI companions in these sorts of games.

Danno - cool, nice one neems - is that definitely a thing? I'd have thought a merc was essential?
