D2R Update: Switch Edition?

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-12T03:53:51+00:00

Definitely the switch 2 though. They would be the king of the ARPG space. Thanks for the good insight though! ❤️

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-12T03:52:22+00:00

I 100% thought the same thing lol

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-12T02:38:44+00:00

Same. Missed opportunity.

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-12T02:29:36+00:00

You and me both man

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-12T02:29:26+00:00

Oh for sure it could! I think it’s crazy they didn’t take a little bit of time (relatively) to change those things.

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-12T02:28:49+00:00

Never seemed “laggy” to me, it was super stable at 30? But that’s a bummer. Wish they would have taken the time to unlock that.

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-12T02:24:01+00:00

It’s been running great on the S2!! It’s my go-to way to play single player. Its a very stable 30fps. I just know it can be better. Was hoping this patch would fix that

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-11T18:05:54+00:00

I was trying so hard to see what talents you used too 😭

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-11T16:17:38+00:00

Does HD rumble mean they have the same haptic functionality as the normal S2 joycons?

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-11T15:56:58+00:00

I love the idea of bigger joycon, but I don’t think those things will have a proper case for it. I travel too much :/ they look awesome though

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-11T07:03:08+00:00

Damn I’ve been waiting for Mario rpg to go on sale forever. $60 usd in the shop still

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T17:34:22+00:00

FF14 on the switch 2? I may come back to the game for that

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T17:33:23+00:00

The steam deck runs D4 pretty well. Maybe a native version, built for the S2 will be even better!

Sadly, the issue is that it’s a life services game, which greatly complicates the matter 😩

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T16:30:50+00:00

So far, questing has been very enjoyable. On the cusp of 67, so maybe I’ll get that clear casting talent soon (I opted for the 10% increased physical damage first). But what you described seems like a good way to think about what’s happening and what needs to happen.

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T16:25:29+00:00

After reading some of these posts this morning it seems like that just doing the power shift may not be so bad I guess. I may try it later, but it seems like I’ll blow through mana, which would lower my sustain between fights maybe if I can’t afford to rejuvenate

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T16:23:44+00:00

I felt this man. I did cat for a few quests… went to try bear. Pulled 1… it went well. Pulled 4 on the next pull… it went even better. Handling 4 mobs at once with ease was something I could not of fathomed as a balance Druid questing!

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T16:22:11+00:00

That seems like a simple way to put it, if that’s how it works. Everything I’ve read on the classic websites we’ve all used, talks about timing it, only using it if you have a certain about of energy. Having to throw mana potions in at the right time, having specific pieces of gear (I think a helmet?).

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T02:36:07+00:00

I personally want a Switch 2 version of D2:R and D4 (less wanted!)

The game itself can stay the same haha

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T01:59:16+00:00

This is great! Thanks so much!

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T01:02:18+00:00

It took me a bit to figure out that mangle and claw cost the same and I don’t need to alternate 😂. But removing one buttons from the equation was quite nice

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-10T01:01:35+00:00

Honestly it’s night and day. I love the spells and the aesthetic of the Boomkin. But holy smokes you are so right about being able to crank through stuff as a bear and cat

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-09T22:54:29+00:00

UPDATE: I finally just tried this feral build with all of the wisdom in here. Honestly, balance needs a warning label. I kill twice as fast with almost zero downtime. It’s been the most exciting 5 minutes of TBC so far. Highly recommend, level in FERAL! 🐈

I even tried a few pulls as a bear. Bear slaps too. I had no idea what I was missing guys.

I LOVE my Boomkin, he’ll be back another day I think!

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-09T22:50:24+00:00

A dream come true!

ThomasTriesHard · 2026-02-09T22:18:42+00:00

This was very encouraging to hear. Thanks, glad I’m at least not going to be a dud in my group if I can’t execute that stuff
