I would remove the comma after "Enter your email", as it inserts an unnatural pause.

D3 is even worse than that. I was having so much trouble with A2 inferno that I went and bought fantastic gear from A4 inferno on the AH. Normal mobs still pretty much 4-shot me. I have to kite EVERYTHING. I'm pretty sure I could have th

You could easily beast D2 on hell difficulty without resorting to that, google for "d2 build hell cheap" See: fishymancer, summonmancer, lightning sorc, windy druid, any barb, etc. And yes, in D3 you cannot progress past inferno a2 without

The only reason people have finished inferno is because people exploited their way past Act 2-4 inferno. Blizzard closed those exploits, but the people in A4 inferno then did non-combative farming (chests+goblins) which produced the gear y

Haha, I can understand that the intersection of hardcore Diablo 2 players and startup enthusiasts is small ( I'm well aware games are fun, but are a completely unproductive use of time :) ). I guess this really isn't the proper place to dis

I think the reason is a combination of different aspects, with varying proportions of each for different people. I would agree that one of those aspects is surmounting obstacles. For me, and I would argue for the majority of hardcore Diablo

That was what was great about Diablo 2. The storyline was fairly subtle, but the whole time I felt like I was really a hero struggling against the forces of evil, following this path of destruction and being scared of actually finding hat

I'm kind of sad that this was downvoted. I thought on hacker news downvotes were used for factually incorrect or trolling posts, and I don't think this post is either. Can I get an explanation for the downvotes at least?

Your post would be true if not for 2 huge problems. 1) You cannot get gear good enough for progressing through Act 2 Inferno from Act 1. 2) Items are actually absurdly cheap. It's the combat that is annoying. Other than the super geared b

I believe the 3rd party website you're referring to is d2jsp.

Yeah, I think D3 nailed the social aspect of leveling. I only had one friend playing the game, but I ended playing regularly with over 10 other people that I just met in game randomly.

Pretty terrible compared to Diablo 2. If you like being ( in the story ) some unrivaled being that everyone flatters and looks up to and expects you to defeat all evil, you'll love it. Voice acting was superb, though. I guess I just found

As both a scientist and avid Diablo 2 player, this blog post is laughable in its superficiality and its claims. TL;DR: Diablo 3 was WoWified: broke itemization and skill builds, and thus replayability. In D3, finding a rare item is "ID, doe

It is actually fun from 1 to 60 if you avoid the AH (though near the end of Hell you might need to). Replayability is totally down from Diablo 2 though.
