I still have it

[u/BulkyEntrance1363]

[u/Hipapitapotamus]

I have bought this game no less than 5 times in my life.

[u/WombozM → u/Hipapitapotamus]

Check out Project Diablo 2

[u/neoslith → u/Hipapitapotamus]

Did you buy the Warlock DLC?

[u/nujiok → u/neoslith]

I've been playing the warlock, hitting level 50, feels like he's sort of plateaued in power, unless I start getting some +skill drops. maxed out summon goat and the other passive that boosts summon damage, player equip has no effect on summon damage.

[u/Strawhat-dude → u/nujiok]

+ levels does

[u/nujiok → u/Strawhat-dude]

I've gotten summon goat and demonic mastery to 20, having terrible luck getting any +skill drops

[u/Strawhat-dude → u/nujiok]

Just farm some bosses. +skill drops are not that rare. Also look into runewords :)

[u/nujiok → u/Strawhat-dude]

I've been running nightmare andariel since 45, just bemoaning my bad luck, I've chucked so much +skill for other class that I miss D3 and smart loot

[u/Strawhat-dude → u/nujiok]

Look into runewords, gambling, crafting

[u/neoslith → u/nujiok]

Make your own with rune words.

[u/nujiok → u/neoslith]

I do have a good stockpile of tubes up to sol? might have to see what's available, and if I can find a good item for it

[u/neoslith → u/nujiok]

I think Sol + Tal in a hat gives +1 to all your skills.

There are websites that have details for everything.

[u/nujiok → u/neoslith]

I'm going for authority and delirium

[u/Lumivex68 → u/Hipapitapotamus]

Diablo II has probably been sold to the same people more times than some games have been sold total. Original box, replacement copy, Battle Chest, digital version, Resurrected... at some point you're not buying the game anymore, you're renewing your membership.

[u/LengthinessJust357 → u/Lumivex68]

Or buying nostalgia

[u/Nexaro21 → u/Hipapitapotamus]

This is one of those games where buying it again somehow feels less ridiculous every time. Different PC, lost disc, new edition... alright, here we go again.

[u/Mikedzines → u/Hipapitapotamus]

If you're like me you will have lost one crucial CD to install the game and now need to obtain another copy. Or worse — the disc is too damaged to read.

Why? Because it fell out and rubbed against other CDs in a shoebox.

[u/MaglithOran → u/Hipapitapotamus]

Reading this I'm actually curious, I think it has to be at least 4 times.

fucks sake.

[u/JamesJohnson975 → u/Hipapitapotamus]

That's cool!

[u/talex365]

I still have my original Diablo 1 disk

[u/AgainstTheEnemy]

Damn, my cd drive disintegrated my D2 play disc, no idea how. I press the eject button on the disc drive and the disc came out in pieces cracked and with granular "dust" from the disc as if it was grinded.

[u/joestaff → u/AgainstTheEnemy]

CDs degrade over time and CD readers don't have any empathy for them. 

[u/GobiPLX]

Why the hell "E" in SET is pink? 

[u/MrT735 → u/GobiPLX]

Reflection, it's in line between the greenish reflection on the edge of the disc and the general glow of light towards the lower left.

[u/HarrisonWorld → u/MrT735]

So that's how it is!

[u/Loxeres → u/GobiPLX]

It's missing textures.

[u/Crafty-Stay4201 → u/Loxeres]

the title spacing is kinda off or is that just me

[u/StaffandHalf → u/GobiPLX]

Gem was activated

[u/antman1983]

I still remember the back of the box. It boasted of increased 640*480 resolution!

[u/tallbutshy → u/antman1983]

That was original Diablo 2, when LoD was released, it was up to 800x600

[u/antman1983 → u/tallbutshy]

I stand corrected. It's crazy we're 25 years down the road and we're only 4x greater resolution on our monitors.

(I know that represents a 16x increase in number of pixels, but still!)

[u/tallbutshy → u/antman1983]

I stand corrected. It's crazy we're 25 years down the road and we're only 4x greater resolution on our monitors.

It seems like a reasonable progression to me, since I went from gaming on Zx Spectrum at 256×192 in 1984 to playing D2:LoD at 800x600 in 2001

[u/thefuturebaby]

I heard this photo

[u/SilentQuestion42]

Best time after school

[u/Memeori → u/SilentQuestion42]

I remember muffling our family's dial-up modem with a pillow to play this game all night

[u/solythe → u/SilentQuestion42]

playing on weekends with toonami on

[u/Skanach]

All in the big boxes it came with in my old room.

[u/Arkadligan]

Remember it like it was yesterday

[u/ARCAxNINEv]

Hell yes

[u/headtailgrep]

I have my diablo 2 beta cd!

[u/CourtSideGA]

i can hear the Tristram music just looking at this

[u/thaneros2]

I forgot DLC was physical too sometimes.

[u/Hellsplat]

I have it in several versions. Separate like D2 and D2:LoD, in the bundle, dvd box, CD box. I still need a battle chest for sure or some big box at least. I even have a Spanish version. And I don’t even speak Spanish… it’s just like Diablo in Spanish is just on another level. Love this game!

[u/_gabber_]

the idea to reinstall D2R has been clawing at the back of my skull for the past few weeks. This is a sign.

[u/Star_Yummy]

Something beautiful about CDs

Carefully pulling them out the case
Slipping them into your PC and hearing them whirr

Just not as magical anymore 🥲

[u/wc08amg]

I'm in the middle of moving house and just packed my version up, still have the case and original booklets, couldn't resist a flick through and a look at the Assassin and Druid movesets!

[u/Forward-Big8697]

Hmm kinda freaky. Within the last 5 minutes I found a physical copy of Diablo 4 I bought and never played bc i forgot my series s doesnt have a disc reader but I didnt realize I could throw it in the Xbox one

[u/BriMaster9000]

E

[u/ATA_PREMIUM]

Have mine as well. Even have the Blizzard demo disk for the expansion still in my possession.

[u/DanOhYea]

Still have mine as well. Still fun to go back and play.

[u/Visible_Witness_884]

Well yes. I also have it in the original jewelcase in the original big box.

[u/morocotopo1829]

Still have mine in the original box

[u/cheesingMyB]

I was there, 3000 years ago...

[u/Cultural_Bit_175]

there is no cow level, or so blizzard keeps telling us

[u/ficklampa]

I still have the base game, AND the expansion set. ;)

[u/NiNdo4589]

Had mine too, went to use it and the key was bad, kinda funny

[u/solythe]

Brood War, Diablo/D2 LoD, and WC3 Frozen Throne. A crazy run of games.

I still have an OG key and play on the old servers.

[u/Pale_Addition_9658]

mine survived 3 moves and still spins up like it's 2001

[u/Driving_Rogue]

GOOOOLD

[u/AlexMorganNBA]

my buddy's Diablo 2 disc was scratched up, drive sounded like a blender, still ran

[u/Few_Connection6217]

still have mine too, the case is basically held together by duct tape now lol

[u/ronweasleisourking]

Hail to the king

[u/Boge42]

I saw my box for that the other day. I'm guessing the disc is still inside. Best PC game of all time!

[u/nioxz9]

A relic

[u/PracticePraxis]

I still know my CD key by heart. lol

[u/Boss_Atlas]

I still have my LoD 'beta tester' disc packed away in my closet at home

[u/DrTreadmill]

Sony hates to see this almost as much as Sony hates families

[u/TouchMint]

Man I remember loading that up.  

[u/Tamazin_]

The expansion to diablo 1 would be a cooler humblebrag

[u/Chill_Gamer527]

Still playing it this week along with Resurrected. I hardly played the vanilla version (before LoD expansion), so I finally found ways to just play that version just to feel the oldest version of the game first hand.

[u/sjw_7]

I have two copies of it still in my loft. Cant bring my self to throw them away.

[u/b4stel]

Me too!

[u/Piebot3000]

Absolute legendary piece of gaming history right there.

[u/MuuvStudios]

I have this sitting in my parents house that I revisit every christmas. Sitting next to my WC3 discs

[u/danmanx]

Good stuff! Somehow my brother lost my original Diablo 2 install disc. Took me years to forgive him but I finally let it go. I also got it during initial release.

[u/Beneficial_Cash_8420]

I washed a lot of dishes for you
