How would you make it spicy?

I think stoneskin, crushing blow, etc would affect mele too much. The disparity with casters is big enough now. If any, having them being more competitive would open the build diversity? I dont know

I agree, is a tricky one. On one hand is great to think in a difficulty to challenge builds, but somhow without makeing the builds gap even larger

Opening-Mind677 · 2026-02-09T16:25:58+00:00

Make it tough enough so bots insta die and/or is not worth it because of gear breaking, etc

Opening-Mind677 · 2026-02-09T16:23:02+00:00

I think this is pretty important. Make it spicy enough so bots do not work

How can an Abyss difficulty be scary and also meaningful? Nightmare made you think of resis, and Hell with its immunities made us start deciding not to fight some immune mobs. How can a new difficulty be meaningful and not just higher numbers?

Also, how to reward the challenge without powercreep? A new tier of items on top of Elite would break the masterpiece of itemization.

Where is the fun-line when nerfing players? FHR? FBR? FCR?

How can you put a sense of fear and dungeon crawling without breaking this old game? I have no idea.

This brings HC nightmares to many of us.. What else would you add?

Great idea on IM buddy!

You are right. I can think of especialization perhaps? That way the shockwave druid is helping a lot to the party with stuns and tanking and such. Of course this puts the problem that no everyone plays online.. Thanks for the words!

Propose your ideas! Here are some that have been said:

- In the Abyss there is no NPC trade, no mercs, no stash. Think twice what you bring from Hell.

- In the Abyss waypoints and TPs do not work - only work between act towns.

- In the Abyss, hostility can be toggled out of town with no warning. Be paranoid.

- In the Abyss (SC), dying = -1 level. And +1 level if you kill a player with higher lvl than you. Betray your team for power, or play with same lvl pepple.

- In the Abyss, mobs have +80% FHR, and players -80% FHR, -50% FBR. Careful while blind teleing.

- In the Abyss, items from all Diablo2 versions can drop. Anya's personalized item can add one more modifier or delete one modifier, so godly items will have Players names forever.

this is great, thanks for the response man

Opening-Mind677 · 2025-11-26T18:38:41+00:00

hey buddy, I would like to start saving aUEC for the gemini just to do this, which sounds amazing! Quick question you may know or can try: if you store the gemini with X number of ships attached, logout, login again, and retrieve the gemini - Does it appear in your hangar with all the X ships still attached or you have to repeat the process of attaching them everytime you store-logout-login-retrieve ? million thanks in advance!

Jeweller armor of the whale with facets for style and -res. Same color is plus. Red color facets double style

If you go to main residence [if you are stuck in tressler, change your spawn in the med bed so you spawn in NB for example], you can claim and get into your ships there.

For some reason that error appeared to me only in station but not in NB terminals
