Posts from DIABLO(I,II,III)

Well, I wonder who finds it so easy to play? Let me reveal a big secret: if you don't try to be too clever, you'll realize that silver is intended for replaying the game. Gold is unlocked in a similar way. If you could just survive until the first boss. It's roughly designed for level 30+, although the game still tries to balance the levels of characters and monsters, so the starting level of enemies might be different.

But let's avoid being rude... Tell me then, why is silver unlocked right away, unlike gold? And I reached the library of these very Seraphim as a Seraphim. After that, it just became incredibly difficult: a goblin takes me down in two or three hits!
But in general, if you start as a Sylvan elf, it's quite possible to complete the game... if you put in some effort.

Well, if you start as a Sylvan elf, then yes. I tried exporting at level 32, and the enemies were level 36, but at level 56, the enemies offered were level 49, although ideally, they should be 56+ (or is this already for gold?), which is why I formed that opinion. There's another reason – on a pirated copy, all the enemies on silver difficulty were ten levels higher, but it might just be a bug, as I didn't observe this on the licensed version... Anyway, you might be right, Soul. I should play fewer pirated copies.

2Loken: Lay said that he played with glitches, so this might also be a cheat. I once played in some mod, I don't remember the name, but I remember that I learned how to make holes in towels (the ones that lie around in the inventory) and put mega jewels in them, it was a very good effect. And when I taught everyone in the salon to do this, Diablo was abandoned after 2 weeks, the admin of that salon told me why I taught them, they lost all interest in the game because of this, and now I have fewer regular customers.
But I am a supporter of the original versions and add-ons, i.e., if it's D2, then LoD. The exception is D1, more precisely, Hellfire, which quite nicely diversified the gameplay, making it more interesting, although my sorceress was level 47 in the original D1.

Then I even got to the Butcher, but I played as a warrior, shooting at him with a bow through the grate, I got tired of it and stopped playing.

It's a good trick, but there's a better one: just catch him when he's transitioning between levels, there his movement range is much smaller, which gives you almost a 100% chance of hitting him :)

I ran around without armor and weapons) a monk is better without armor and weapons)

I don't fully agree with that, of course, he's better without armor and weapons, but when he has the Royal Pain in his hands, he hits hard and attacks three enemies at once. Secondly, armor suits him, but not all of it, only cloth armor. I remember that for my level 40 monk, I ran around and begged players of lower levels for these leather items (+39% resistance and +20 to all stats), it was a rare item, but I still got it.
As for cheating in the game, I hacked both the first and the second one. In the first one, I hacked it so that you could reach level 49 in about 20-30 minutes, i.e., you gained 255 experience, leveled up again, gained another 255, and so on until level 49 :) In D2 LoD, I made it so that you could buy (depending on the type of hack) either set, unique, or crafted items in the store. With the set hack, the Sigon's set could be assembled at level 16-18 by simply buying it in the store :)

Okay, since everyone is starting to talk about their characters, I'll join in too. I only played Diablo 2. At first, I played through it as a Barbarian – that was a lot of fun! Especially the Whirlwind skill with a mace – guts flying everywhere. I beat Diablo the first two times without dying and almost flawlessly – I'd run up, hit him a couple of times, and when he was casting his red lightning, I'd jump. I did that a ton of times. But the third time, he froze me, the jerk! So, by the end, I was only level 69. And in Lord of Destruction, I already leveled a Frenzy Barbarian. With two flamberges. One was unique, the other had a runeword – I only remember it gave +5 to Frenzy. By the end, I reached level 84. I was unstoppable! I played a bit with other classes, but didn't finish them. The Barbarian was my favorite.

And in Sakrida, has anyone tried playing as a Sorceress?

No, I only played as a Dark Elf.

There was a mage, and I leveled him up. Although, I initially had an incorrect build, so by the end of the dungeons, my main attack was a fireball dealing 3000+ damage with a 0.6-second cooldown. It could have been better, but it was my first time playing games like this.

I recently started playing on the European Battle.net server (they recently re-released the Blizzard licenses, and they became widely available in stores, so I bought it. I've been playing the single-player mode for a long time, with around 7-8 characters at level 70+ who have completed all difficulties). I have a Venomancer and a Trapsin. If anyone wants to play, my ICQ is in my profile.

Since we're reminiscing about related games (by the way, calling Diablo an RPG is nonsense; it's originally an action/RPG, and it has long since created its own genre, Diablo-like games), we can also mention the relatively recent Titan Quest. It's a good game, but, like Sacred, the fixed locations ruin it; after five playthroughs, it gets boring. Free generation is the best.

P.S. By the way, does anyone know of any good websites about Diablo 2 (besides blizzard.ru and diablo-ii.ru)? Please share the links.

Has anyone tried playing with a Sorceress in Sacred?

In the buggy Sacred, with a runeword STONE!!! :D 6000+ defense just from armor!!

P.S. By the way, does anyone know of any good D2 websites (besides blizzard.ru and diablo-ii.ru)? Please share the links.

I used to spend a lot of time on the diablozone.net forum; there are many knowledgeable people there, and there are tons of useful links and frequently updated information!

In general, all the information about Diablo can be found on arreatsummit, but not everything is 100% reliable; you need to check a lot of things... although the breakpoints (IAS FCR FBR FHR) seem to be correct there :smile54:

I haven't played Diablo I at all. I played the second one about 20 times, mostly as a Paladin. I completed all difficulties (the only annoying thing is that in my Diablo II, I can't complete the 4th quest in the first act and the 2nd quest in the 4th act; the game just crashes when I approach the blacksmith). It was so frustrating when I deleted all my characters after reinstalling Windows. My Paladins were: Richard - level 90, Jenya - level 69, and Knight - level 48; all the others were weaker. I don't quite understand the point of the Moo Moo Farm (secret level). I came, killed the cows, and then what? Overall, it's a great game. I hope Diablo III will be released, although I understand that it won't be soon, as Blizzard already has a lot on its plate.

No, well, if it's about groups of enemies, then okay, I somehow missed that point. But even so, it's still not interesting to play.
By the way, the second favorite way to kill the Butcher is to cast Wall of Fire under him and shoot.
But I was a Monk, I didn't have Wall of Fire, and he killed me in a couple of hits. I gave up on him. I came back after 3-4 levels and killed him in a couple of hits myself, xD.
In general, in both the first and second Diablo, the Sorceress is undeniably the best. Especially in Lord of Destruction, starting with version 1.10, where they basically buffed mages, giving them synergies, while melee characters were left behind.
The Monk, yes, I also played in rags, I just didn't mention it. And I didn't have a good staff, so I just ran around and hit everyone with my foot ;D
Brak, Frenzy Barbarian is awesome! He runs around the map like a crazy ball of metal and muscles, I also leveled one up once. I didn't even beat Nightmare, I got bored again, but still, that Barbarian is cool.
Regarding Sacred, Titan Quest, Loki, and other nonsense - none of it can be compared to Diablo. In my opinion, they are just pathetic attempts to make a "Diablo killer." That's all. They are very boring to play. And no one will convince me otherwise :P

There's no level 100 character in Diablo II)) it's not good to lie about non-existent characters)

Listen, why are you shouting? And express yourself normally, otherwise it's just scary for ordinary people to read. If you don't believe me, that's your business. I wasn't talking about "Lord of Destruction," but about "Grate of the Goads" (do you even know what that is?). And there's a great opportunity to reach level 100 there. You shouldn't accuse me so publicly.

P.S. And you couldn't possibly reach such high skill levels without bonuses from items, so don't talk nonsense here :)

Talk nonsense? - that's harsh. Okay, I'll continue to talk nonsense...
Such levels are reached without much difficulty. Do you know what the Ancient Hunter's Ring gives, for example? (required level - 80). And if you have two? And if you also have an amulet like that? Of course, you won't find such items lying around on the road, but you can definitely find them.

The more I read and realize the facts presented in your post, the more I see that "something doesn't add up."
You have about 1k damage with the claw? I don't believe it. With any possible upgrades, the claw can't have that much damage without skill points.
And how, interestingly, couldn't you kill a sorceress with 12k damage?..
I understand, energy shield, etc., but... "it doesn't add up"...

Just keep observing...
The claw (Katana Scissors) has about 200-450 damage. With a level 54 tiger, the damage is 1800-2400, and if you upgrade it to 1200%, you can take down anyone... :)
And I already said that the sorceress was leveled up. She has about 100,000 health, and a lot of mana. She could kill anyone with one hit, but she just couldn't do anything to me with magic - my resistance is 95% (unfortunately, it can't be higher than that)

I don't quite understand what the point is on the Moo Moo Farm (secret level). I came, killed the cows, and then what? Overall, it's a great game.

This level is useful because the drop rate of "valuable" items is very high. In simpler terms, you can collect assembled artifacts, find ancient gear, and gain good experience ;).

Here's some more information for you to consider. There's a mod for D2 called Zy-El, and in it, you can reach level 10,000, and the leveling process is very fast. The levels have been increased by a factor of 4, the mercenaries have been improved, the graphics have been enhanced, and many different items have been added, around 4,500 of them.

someone said that maybe there will be an angel hero, because there was an angel in the intro... something like that)).
There were also angels in the second game, and not just one))) so... maybe it's just another NPC =)

P.S. Did I already write this? -)
