Diablo 2 Reborn
Diablo 2 Reborn
Valued Diablo 2:LoD experience with countless hours (comparable to RuneScape). The main concern before purchasing is account and character loss after 90 days of inactivity. About a year ago I completed a ladder season on Diablo 2:LoD via Battle.net, and many still continue to spam. Maphacking ETC. Rumors suggest the remaster will retain Diablo 2's original graphics but with better visuals. I hope there are fewer cheaters online and the inactive deletion feature is removed. While I grasp their reasoning for deleting accounts, it seems improvements might be underway by 2021. What are your thoughts?
I tried the beta version; the visuals improved a lot (good news). The gameplay remains unchanged. They claim enhanced controls and hacker protection for online sessions, though it's unclear what that means. I also learned your previous saves should function in offline or solo mode, but you can't apply them to online servers. Likely they're trying to prevent cheating.
Just tried playing Diablo 2 on Nintendo Switch in handheld mode—it was a childhood dream come true. The controls and gameplay exceeded expectations. But getting the initial sign-up and connecting to Battle.net was slow and had some issues. It dropped a few times.
