why do zoomers do this to themselves?
Because Diablo 4 is shit. So I wanted to see how good the first two were.
Literally who?
>Literally who?
Mod that adds in every cut quest and fixes quests that were gutted for the retail release, new classes, modern resolution support, better stash, combat text, rebalances game, more enemies, more items
just an objectively better way to play diablo 1 than the OG
Is that it’s own client or do you have to get the base game from somewhere
all you need is the mod files plus diabdat.mpq, both are easily found on the internet
Only the kind of people that watches 10 hours long critiques of 2 hours movies rather than watching the movies themselves think that
Diablo 1 really isn't that interesting, it's literally the first of its genre, you'd have to understand the context of PC gaming in december 1996 to appreciate it.
But it's really nothing more than click on monster and wait.
Diablo 2 is more engaging since it has a story with 25 minutes of cgi cut scenes, a great ost, plenty of environments and many more classes and skills.
I'm feeling generous towards zoomers today so here's how you get D2R

And RIP my HC barb
Diablo is more of a love letter to ancient computer RPGs like Moria and Ultima 1 than anything from the 90s
>But it's really nothing more than click on monster and wait.
Makes sense. That's why I felt Torchlight was more engaging than D1. I'll try D2 eventually.
F
>it's literally the first of its genre
Diablo is just Gauntlet with a loot system. Gauntlet 4 is one of the best games ever made but you moronic queers wouldn't know because you only play modern shit
Nah, gauntlet doesn't itemization, which is the entire point of the genre.
Diablo was made to get loot and build your character, not just to kill a bunch of monsters like gauntlet.
Wrong. The genre is see shit from overhead and beat on it while they drop shit and that's 1:1 with gauntlet. Many gauntlet games, like the wonderful 4, have RPG systems. Diablo is gauntlet with randomized item drop and gear system, that's it. It isn't some new genre because of it
You're a clueless brainlet anon. It's sad to see such a moronic take stated with so much confidence.
I'm right and you have no argument against it. Gauntlet had gear in games prior to Diablo, had magic, had similar combat, had item drops, had RPG leveling system, but because Diablo has randomized items you're going to pretend like it's a different genre and something unique. Lmao.
k anon, now go ramble about your shmup in another thread.
Glad to see you concede the way liberals always do when they have no argument. Thanks anonkun, good luck smashing the patriarchy
What an embarrassing post.
>isn't that interesting
Frick you. D1 it has an unsurpassed gloomy atmosphere. It's like the original doom, which you can launch at any time and enjoy the gameplay.
Because Diablo 1 is not some click loot grinder and it was never intended to be. It's better to think of it as a simple survival horror game paying tribute to dark fantasy with old arcadey gameplay formats. The biggest tell is whenever I play Diablo 1 I can remember every single monster type and how their gimmicks can frick you up and no matter how swole you get if you're a melee fricker wading head first into an unusual amount of ranged gets you fricked same as getting surrounded.
On that ground I think the game holds up as an atmospheric piece of its time, it's not so much dated or got surpassed it just peaked its very specific format and isn't as replayable. I think it's an interesting piece as also the only Diablo to have hostile game design, fricking up your stats, running out of money and having no resources, aggro'ing way too much shit can all have the potential to end your entire game run and making it impossible to continue.
>Because Diablo 4 is shit. So I wanted to see how good the first two were.
all ARPGs are shit, zoomer. not sure how you missed out on this vital piece of knowledge. stop looking for easy dogshit to play and go play some actual video games, even fortnite would be an improvement.
Replace your smart phone with a rotary and thats pretty much what its like playing literally anything made over 20 years ago.
>old bad, new good
>keep consuming, goyim
imagine not playing Bezlebub instead, what the frick are you doing?
Kind of a steep learning curve for new player. Also it's much better to play the og on a first playthrough than a fan mod with tons of added layers on top.
Your stats look kind of low for being level 16 and in the caves. What kind of items are you packing? Are they all To Hit chance?
Frick off with Belzebub. Ruins the progression of OG Diablo and forces way too much grind.
>Your stats look kind of low for being level 16 and in the caves. What kind of items are you packing? Are they all To Hit chance?
First time playing. So I guess it makes sense.
Using:
Shadowhawk (life steal, - light, + res all, +hit%)
Topaz Ring Mail (res all+, +14 strength)
Undead Crown (life steal)
Optic Amulet (+ light, res lightning, -1 damage, +magic)
ring (res all)
ring (+8 dex)
That's what I read online. Idk why Diablo packaged it with their official release
Holler if you want to play multiplayer some time. I've got a few friends who want me to shepherd them through Diablo 1 now that DevilutionX has re-added quests in multiplayer.
Thanks, but for now I want to experience the single player
Not him but DevilutionX is much better, only a few optional qof features. I want to play Diablo not what a random troony modder thinks it should be
>It's anon's first time playing a game.
>DUDE GET THIS MOD THAT COMPLETELY OVERHAULS THE GAME AND CHANGES IT TO THE POINT ITS A DIFFERENT GAME!
Why do homosexuals always do this? They do this with Deus ex,and jagged Alliance 2. Always do a vanilla playthrough before you go and try out mods that change the game.
I just beat this the other day! PS1 version. Frustrating, but awesome. Wore my thumb out. That potion sound effect is like the greatest sound effect in any game. I have no idea if you're doing good. Seems like you just want to be really fast and have a high dex to land hits.
Wanted to run through the series, but don't have Diablo 2 and I couldn't figure out how to emulate it, so I jumped to 3 and man that game sucks.
>emulate
>diablo 2
Black person what? it's a pc game that any piece of shit pc can run. just pirate it
Right, not emulation. Don't know how to pirate. I tried downloading it from archive org but missed some step and then when it mentioned needing cd keys I got confused and just deleted all of it.
Get a load of this moron. Little baby doesn't know how to follow steps? Poopie rapie?
Dude, gen Z is legitimately tech illiterate. Things that a 12yr old could do on Windows XP 20 years ago, a 22yr old in college can't do today.
to play the game offline in singleplayer you can use any cd key you find, those were only relevant for online play
>Don't know how to pirate. I tried downloading it from archive org but missed some step and then when it mentioned needing cd keys I got confused and just deleted all of it.
Jesus fricking christ.
the diablo 2 remaster is actually very good, i don't regret buying it
>giving money to nuBlizzard
decent broodwar / D2 remakes will never compare to the misery that was reforged
Frick off Kotick, you already got your billions so at least stop your shilling.
>Seems like you just want to be really fast and have a high dex to land hits.
Isn't dexterity the most important stat? Being able to hit and dodge sounds quintessential
What’s the best way to play this? Is it even in battle.net?
Idk. I just installed devilutionx and downloaded the required diabdat.mpq from the Internet Archive.
I only fill up half in case I find any useful items
Cool, might play it after. What are your thoughts on the unofficial Hellfire expansion?
It's devilutionx, a client written for modern operating systems
Hellfire is kind of awful. I wouldn't recommend it. The art and sound assets are really low quality compared to the original game which sticks out badly. It also adds two new dungeons, but they both use the same geometry of the caves and the catacombs anyway.
I wish I could be playing every Diablo game all the time lmao
Get help
Over half your inventory is gone. Did I just get trolled?
Idk he probably sells his old items or whatever he’s not using
Is that a mod or something?
You've put too many points into mana, it's useless for warrior as outside teleport or stone curse, he will not utilize them very good.
Try lower to hit % and instead invest into strength and vitality to wear heavy armor and not die in few seconds. You should find or buy items with more magic and fire resistance as it's gonna be rough at hell levels, especially for warrior.
>You've put too many points into mana, it's useless for warrior as outside teleport or stone curse, he will not utilize them very good.
Okay you're right. It never really helped me. So I'll ignore it and invest in strength.
>Try lower to hit %
Why?
>You should find or buy items with more magic and fire resistance as it's gonna be rough at hell levels, especially for warrior.
Noted, for now all I got are rings for that.
>>Try lower to hit %
>Why?
Because it's more than enough on normal difficulty and I doubt you'll be playing at nightmare or hell as it's only avaiable by playing multiplayer or using mods. No point raising that much as warrior because you hit fast with one handed sword so you don't need to worry about missing a few hits, it's better to increase your armor class by wearing heavy armor and that requires lots of str points to wear top stuff because you're gonna be bombarded with spells at last levels while being assaulted by melee enemies who hit like truck for less defensive character. So good armor shield and vitality is a mandatory if you don't wanna go back to town for resupply all the time.
Okay, thanks for the tip. What are your thoughts on axes? I have a Stoneclever, should I use it?
Axes are fine at early-mid game but at endgame they hit to slow and you'll be interrupted very often during animation attacks. It's doable but your life will be much easier with sword plus shield combo. You can use it for now but you'll quickly find sword that will outmatch Stoneclever and it's attack speed is just too good to not to use it.
Okay, and once I don't need it I can just sell it without any repercussions?
You can buy items back if you wish but I recommend just dropping items on the ground and if you'll need gold for items, then sell it.
You can do this with items that increase magic as well. You may find robes and a helmet that increase your magic +10 each. Leave those in town and just pick them up when you want to read a spellbook.
Yea I've been doing that already, with a staff that gives +12 Mag
The biggest flaw with Axes and other two handed weapons is that you can't equip a shield with them, which means you cannot block but more importantly you can't get a Magic shield with the big dick energy end game attributes like +15 to all stats and +80 HP.
what should i play after the og diablo? project diablo 2, classic d2 or the remaster? its gonna be my first playthrough
For Diablo II, play the original or remaster. If you are playing the original, make sure you include the expansion. The original runs fine on modern systems without tweaking. Don't run it at resolutions higher than 1024 though because the AI of the enemies break (hard-coded into the game's res).
If you play the original version I highly recommend PlugY as it will let you access b.net only items and runewords offline and will give your characters a shared stash - both are very good quality of life changes for playing solo / offline.
Remaster. It's literally the exact same game but better looking with some quality of life features and some light rebalancing
Remake is good, but I would use the original graphics (you can change it on the fly) - more authentic feel. You can start with D2 Lod latest patch right away. D2 original and previous patches (where there were no skill synergies for example) are different by gameplay slightly, but they are more casual.
Did he missed arkaines valor?
enjoy getting raped the moment you reach hell
Any way to fix my course or is it over?
You put points in all stats, why? Also your gamma is so cranked up, are you scared or something? Play like real men.
There is no fix (unless you restart from scratch), but that guy is wrong
>You put points in all stats, why?
I never played Diablo before. So I didn't know how important each stat is in the end game.
>There is no fix (unless you restart from scratch), but that guy is wrong
So you can't get hard locked from finishing Diablo if you dump points in the wrong place?
>Also your gamma is so cranked up, are you scared or something?
Couldn't see shit + worried about passing up items.
>So you can't get hard locked from finishing Diablo if you dump points in the wrong place?
Absolutely not, it depends more on your (bad) luck and other factors like positioning. I won't spoil and won't tell what is the optimal build, but I want to say this: it's not Diablo II, your mistakes in stat allocation are not punished as hard. Almost like in Dark Souls.
>Couldn't see shit + worried about passing up items.
Jesus...It's the part of the atmosphere, and this is the key point of playing the game. It doesn't matter if you miss some junk item. You're also supposed to play at night with lights off with headphones.
>"ARGHHHHH! FRESH MEAT!"
>Absolutely not, it depends more on your (bad) luck and other factors like positioning.
Good to know
>Jesus...It's the part of the atmosphere, and this is the key point of playing the game. It doesn't matter if you miss some junk item.
Okay, I'll crank it back down
Didn't know if at least utility spells were useful for him
Even with decent armor on?
>Even with decent armor on?
To wear armor you need stats, if you royally frick up, you might not even defeat Diablo, but I think your character is fine.
So for the warrior str and vit are the most important. Dex is 3rd and mana is trash tier?
>So for the warrior str and vit are the most important. Dex is 3rd
Ohnonono
Generally yes. For warrior str is the most important but you should give points into dex and vitality, absolutely zero for mana. Rogue is full dex and a little bit of str for wearing armor and vitality so you don't die in second and maybe a little for mana if you want guardian spell or town portal spell.
Mage is borderline broken as he only needs mana because mana shield give a lot of resistance and his spells are killing everything in few seconds while being far from enemies. Plus you can get best spells from Adria by simply save/reload.
>So you can't get hard locked from finishing Diablo if you dump points in the wrong place?
No, but you can frick up the last level if you are chewing through health potions too quickly and run out of gold.
You should finish game at 24-25 level if you clear every level so you still can build your character right. Just from now focus on str and vitality so you'll be tanky on last level. Just play it safe, try to lure enemies step by step and don't make yourself surrounded from everyside.
Diablo 1 is really straight forward game and even if bad items, it's completely doable.
Okay I'll see what I can do by dumping everything into str and vit.
>Just play it safe, try to lure enemies step by step and don't make yourself surrounded from everyside.
Yup, been standing behind doors to pinhole them.
What would be your stat tier list for the warrior then?
Dex>Str>Vit>Magic
>warrior
>magic 35
Are you mentally moronic?
I want to play this on the Steam Deck but the controls feel janky.
I'm playing beta instead to relive different part of my childhood, when I was the most excited in my life about full game by playing pre-release demo repeadetly.
What makes the beta different? Wouldn't it have more bug and less features?
>Generally yes. For warrior str is the most important but you should give points into dex and vitality, absolutely zero for mana.
Damn I wish I knew before putting points into mana so I could read the books, hoping for the spells to get better.
Spells do get better. Guardian, Stone Curse, Golem are all very powerful, but very mana intensive. Flexibility is a virtue in D1, so don't worry.
I have the stone curse spell that requires 60 mana, but only got 55 max.
Does it have all the levels?
I don't play much RPG games, especially ARPGs. So far I've beat some notable JRPGs like Earthbound, FF6 and Chrono Trigger. And all have been better than D4 at keeping my attention.
>Does it have all the levels?
Readme says it has
No belt, chain lightning works differently, some monsters and spells were unused from retail version, NPCs and have different voiceovers etc.
I'm playing prerelease demo-based mod from here

Good site about Diablo development history in general.
It has a lot of great suff on links page too.
Did you make sure to avoid Black Deaths as to not to lose HP permanently?
Yup I got spoiled on that while reading beginner guides online. I avoided them like the plague and hit them with holy bolts.
