And how Was that grind different than the grind in diablo 4 according to you?
I just see people here complaining it takes too long to get to level 100 in this game. Are they new diablo players? Or diablo 2 players that are complaining about levelling up to 100 in D4 or diablo 3 players or a combination of all? I’m just bi curious to find out.
people complaining it takes to long for 100 have never played diablo 2 classic and it shows
probably less then 0.01% of the entire playerbase across all platforms
99 never mattered in d2 and the grind was 10000000x more fun. D4 I walk for 20 minutes backtracking to get a stone. D2 I teleport 4 seconds to chaos sanctuary and start killing.
I got a barb to 99 on classic D2 pre Lod and it took FOREVER. Like months abd months abd months of daily playing.
Once cow level came it was easy
Wrong. It mattered because it was difficult.
100 on D4 doesnt mean jack as everyone and their mother is 100.
The differnce is lev 99 was absolutely not needed for anything in D2. Try uber lilith or a nm 100 dungeon in D4 without being lev 100.
It’s like they haven’t thought about anything in D4. You either make it like in D2 a slow optional grind or make it like it is in D3 extremly fast because you need it for the endgame/hardest content.
You don’t make it extremly slow but necessary for the endgame. That’s just a desing flaw imho as so many other things in D4. It’s like they just took some stuff out of D2 some out of D3 without really thinking about it.
Woah now it was never difficult just time consuming. Big difference.
I had every toon at 99. There were tons of ways to powerlevel and get good xp until your build came online. The grind didnt really get insane until 95 as I recall.
Diablo 2 classic didn’t have 3 months seasons, think a little before typing this crap
D2 my highest was 87 I think. Monsters in hell had spell immunity to w/e build I was playing and the xp in Baal runs took ages and I never got anything good, someone was always there to click items faster then me
Grinding for a million hours IS difficult otherwise everyone would do it. D2 was also a much harder game with burning souls and dolls and whatnot, plus hardcore mode. It didnt hold your hand. It was from a different era.
Its difficult in a different type of way…takes dedication/discipline/etc
Done it multiple times I never found it difficult because the game was actually fun. Unlike now with d4.
Go outside and smell some flowers and get off your computer or phone for a while. You’re so angry. Calm down.
99 wasn’t really endgame. I always quit when I was done with my build. Generally between really high 80s to low 90s. Other than barb no real reason to take to 99. You stopped when you were done with your items/merc and got/traded for for torch
Did you do it in classic D2 when it was actually hard and only a few dozen were 99 on the ladder for the longest time?
Or later on when the cow level and baal runs came around?
Not angry just tired of misinformed people talking nonsense same with people saying seasons have always been a part of Diablo that isn’t true either
from a grinding perspective it’s not that much different. Especially in D2R you can get 99 pretty quickly now with the terror zones… probably even faster than you can get 100 in D4 but back in the day when Baal was the only way of increasing your XP bar then yeah that was longer and way more of a grind, never did it myself back then but did it in D2R
Even in D2R, I levelled my gold barb from lvl 74 to 94 only by farming the councils. To add to that, my build was specifically a mercenary build. All I did was hop around for perma-stun and be a meat bag so that my bow can proc amplify damage being hit. Then my mercenary cleared them under a minute.
It’s was a true dedication of gold farming for the D2 market.
I bailed at 89 in D2. It wasn’t the time frame, though. It was the sheer boredom of a million Baal runs. I have no issue in D4, however, due to the variety. Not only is every other dungeon different (though a small pool), but I can do Tree of Whispers, Helltides, or just run around the overworld seeing how much I can take on at one time. People complain about this iteration being boring, and I just don’t get it.
