Yeah. I've seen those issues.

Bugs aside, how is the gameplay in 2021? Couple reviews I read said they were big fans of the original D2, but think they'd prefer playing D3 given the choice.

A bunch of issues for everyone. Hardcore players being disconnected and getting killed.

Just got back home. Go to log in and my 11 sorc that I saved and quit earlier is now level 1 and stripped of all gear.
etc...

@Blackhalo

Gameplay is amazing. I was able to create a game and got through 1 tower run. Now I can't make another game. As long as they can fix these issues it will be amazing. But everyone responsible for the launch of this game should be given the dead rogue treatment.

Other than a couple conveniences and better graphics, IMO it is original 1.10 LOD.

Started with a bnet character, got to lvl 4 and logged out for lunch.  When I came back I was level 2 and couldn't create a game.  Said fuck it and just made an offline character, level 12 now.

It seems like they fixed the "log out on offline char and lose all your levels/ gear" bug. I had to start all over and I'm something like level 8 now.

EDIT: Just looted this. Much better than my 14 armor tunic I had on.

I'm loving this. The game is absolutely gorgeous. Feels like the old times. I love randomly pressing G and seeing how far we've come

I didn't realize my graphics card wasn't up to par, lol.  It doesn't meet the requirements but the game still runs smooth with everything turned down.

Load times are the only bad thing at the moment.  I had to get help with Duriel, because playing by myself I was dead before Tal Rasha's chamber loaded.

Going to order a new laptop Monday, this is fun so far.

Made it to lvl 18 last night, HC

Only had to do 3 countess runs to find TAL + ETH for armor. Found a 10fcr/10mf% ring ??

Liking the graphics, act 2 is progressing nicely for my hammerdin

Do you have to log into a server or can you do peer to peer on your lan for multiplayer? This is on a PC.

I played old D2 for years...since then I've gotten old and don't know anything about computers any more. Can any of you tell me if I'm wasting my money on this game with the laptop I currently have? If I can't run it I won't buy it until I get a "gaming" computer or whatever I need to run it right. Just don't want to waste the money if my stuff isn't up to snuff.

This is what I have

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06296498

According to online, this is what I need. I'm not confident I'm up to par on the video card.  

Operating System: Windows 10.

Processor: Intel Core i3-3250/AMD FX-4350.

Video: Nvidia GTX 660/AMD Radeon HD 7850.

Memory: 8GB RAM.

Storage: 30GB.

Internet: Broadband Internet connection.

Resolution: 1280 x 720.

The Intel uhd 620 is the same graphics card I'm using.  The load times are slow, very slow.  The game runs fine though with all the settings turned down.

just found guides saying to farm to level 25 then rush to act 5 and farm baal to 40.
when i originally played on pc i think i ran all through the campaign and that was it.
so far got 2 of the 4 runes for the insight runeword for mercenary.

Countess runs are where it's at. I had leaf done at 16 with quest + 2 countess runs. Waiting until 25-26 then I'll go back and run for insight.

Hammerdin isn’t worth it until around Lv30. I’m

My Holy Fire build has wrecked everything in normal so far and I just started act 5

No clue. I was playing my online char, when I saw a system message servers down in 15 minutes.

Hello everyone,

We’ve paused the process of restarting servers to implement the character lock fix to investigate and monitor why those affected players cannot create games. We intend to resume this process later but don’t have a specific ETA right now. We’re aware that some characters remain stuck in closed games. We are working to return those characters to a playable state as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Just posted on the D2R forums.

I'm gonna be the cheapskate and bitch about price. $40 seems kinda jacked for an old game reissue with smoothed-out graphics.  I guess I just expected it'd be around a $20 price point.

Depends on what specific item you're trying to enchant.

WARNING  Runes have to be inserted in order. If you mess up, more rune/ item farming. Example: To make the Leaf staff, ( Tir and Ral runes ) Tir must be inserted first, then Ral.

Also, if a runeword uses 3 runes, the item must have the exact amount of sockets. You can't shove 3 runes in a 6 socketed item.
