Last I knew the exp from Mephisto skeleton spawns had been nerfed. I would like to see the exp put back in the skeletons. setting up a uber p level was a lot of fun way back when I played d2. some of the most fun I had was rounding up some friends to help me set up and run the power level. Not only did you need a smiter to kill the ubers but you also needed a bone walling necro and x2 hdins. friends joining forces to help friends build new toons or just a way to help the community. also gave more meaning to the amount of time it takes to farm the keys and organs for just one torch. if you got a torch with omg why me, and fml rolls at least you helped the community.

It was fun while it lasted… 
I think its a privilege for those that were around to witness it back then.
Uber-Leveling wasnt accessible to noobs, and only people that were in touch with the community were invited.
But seriously, its good it was fixed, it was OP AF compared to other methods. It took like 1h to get to level 85, and thats ridiculous.
ya woah it took you only one hour of your time to level… thats not op AF… if you remember the amount of exp you gain after level 94 hits diminished returns. it takes longer to level that way if your going for the level 99 then to do chaos and baal runs. my point is why ever subtract anything that players finds fun in a game. oh no you can’t have fun that way in this game you must have fun my way in this game… sounds kinda dumb right?
Dude, uber leveling was only used until level 92ish because the XP was worse than Baal runs at that moment.
However, any character above level 80 was more than powerful enough to cream hell difficulty with ease if you know what you’re doing.
Thats the problem, uber leveling made it ridiculously easy to get to 85, where as without uber leveling it takes 15-20ish hours to go from naked level 1 to 85 (by doing quick and efficient chaos+baal runs without down-time)
The endgame should be mindlessly killing Baal over and over again as fast as possible without the option to do anything else. That’s what will keep people engaged.
ya thats the point of it… to quickly level and have fun doing it… whats your problem? if a player doesn’t want to get down like that ,then to each their own.
it was fun while it lasted, but no i dont want it back. i woudl rather have an postgame area where i can play the game normally and get exp as good as baal runs.
ideally make mobs need the party to group up to kill quickly, but not that will 1 shot people… “rifting” in d3 and maps in PoE arnt a “bad ideas” they were implemented terribly because of infinite scaling.
as soon as u do “infinite scaling” you remove all but the most efficient builds and u remove all the “fun” builds.
and then u have player just running ahead and killing stuff rather than working as a group.
force the players to work as a group to get good exp.
d2 doesn’t have infinite scaling… once u can clear hell, you can clear hell… any way u want
not one word ,of what you said makes any since. nor does it have to do with ubers… or leveling. your so busy trying to thought block .you lack any real input. i’m not sure what your swiftly doing to kittens but it doesn’t sound good.
i know i shouldn’t bother trying to logically explain anything to you at this point but w/e.
“it was fun while it lasted” referred to the topic of uberleveling…
and then i responded with " but no i dont want it back"
and then i went on to explain what i would rather have.
Also… my name refers to my favorite animal… which is a cheetah…
i dont know how the masses did “uberlevleing” but it was orginally done near wirts leg, before it was moved to the area in the top above the portal where everyone stood in the “sandbox”
we used multiple clients becuase as i was part of the dclone irc and most of us had 4 copies of the game ( the most that can log in on 1 ip) for dclone hunting. so we could get as many annis as possible once we choose and ip to walk.
so yeah i was frequently both the hammerdin and the leecher, as the necro and both dins generally got to take a 2nd spot or we sold that spot we were allotted.
and yeah it WAS fun. but blizzard patched it out so its not coming back.
it gave an unfair advantage to people like me and you. being able to afk in the same game for basically hours
these were fun organized events for me, I took part in leeching ubers and also running them in parties with my hammerdin or necro
some parties would also have a blizz sorc with infinity merc as dps because they could wall up meph baal and diablo all around the smiter as well
I would usually quit around level 90 because the experience after that wasn’t great so I’d just go do chaos or baal runs after.
some runs would make you pay a fee, or it was rare but you could find free uber leech games in the game list. others would also let you pay for the torch that dropped when you created it. or they would give free torches away in them if they were low rolls
i’m all for bringing these back if they decided too. it was a good event to have around to socialize and bring the community together and get some quick leveling on a build or character you wanted to test out
I agree this was one of the most fun part in D2 !
I quit D2 when they patched uber leveling, making characters was just not fun after being spoiled with that type of leveling speed.
Probably better not to have it though.
Oh yeah lets not forget the baba dudu combo for 20k+++ life and chant
finally someone who gets it!!
