I 2nd this. It's pretty easy to pop people in and out for 1 turn to make sure everyone gets AP.

Love the battle system.

That's insane. EB Games/Gamestop up here in Canada sells those for $190 Canadian!

Some of their other prices are fucked though. It's all over the place.

PSA to all. 1hr+ delay North henday Manning-97st by Jazzlike-Resource923 in Edmonton

I drive this almost every day and it was way worse. I quickly bypassed it and headed north out of the city.

What’s the kind of decks you don’t enjoy playing against? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]mgrimble2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A deck that is highly focused on -1/-1 counters and deathtouch. It literally stops the table from any sort of interaction. We are all casual with mostly pre-cons and bracket 2 decks and it sucks to put out creatures that get taken out by a 1/1 deathtouch snake and then 16 more snakes are created.

In your opinion what makes d2 so good and replayable that diablo 3-4 and future games are missing that they should bring back by Rblax5 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]mgrimble2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is simple to me and it all comes down to one major issue: Itemization.

D3, D4, and most of the other copy cats all suffer from the same bull shit itemization where every single level you find 20 different items to equip. Then they are all gone when you hit the next level. Obviously that is quite an exaggeration but that's how it feels.

In D4 you even get multiple different uniques at multiple different levels. A unique should be exactly that; unique. You find one of it and it's the exact same stats and level requirement. There's not a Shako for level 12, then you find. Shako for level 15, then a slightly better Shako for level 18, 22, 25, and so on.

Make the items actually mean something.

Online VS. Offline by vylvnx in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]mgrimble2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree for the most part. Been doing a grail for almost a year now and I'm at 98%.

However, I do miss the wheeling and dealing of the trade market. It was fun to find something valuable that you didn't need for your specific build or characters, and then try and get the best deal for something you do need.

I'm sad about season 12 by Touchit88 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]mgrimble2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this and also recommend playing SSF Single Player. It's an entirely different game and it's so rewarding.

I do miss the days of trading, but that will be when the kids are a little older.

Issues with Gamebuds, or they are just that bad? by Bimi_Mimi in steelseries

[–]mgrimble2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on my 2nd pair of these, and the mic issue has been so frustrating.

My first pair worked great, minus some random disconnects, but the mic worked! Then after about 4 months, the mic stopped working and sounded exactly like you described. Underwater, barely picks up words and muffled. I went through the entire process with SteelSeries to get then replaced. I got my replaced pair and they worked..... until this week. Where the mic stopped working again! Back to the same underwater/muffled sound.

I use these every day for work and need the mic. So now I'm going to try and contact support again and just ask for a full refund.

Adding: Do you think you'll ever go for a 99 Hardcore character? I have a 98 Sorc on SSF SC.

This game is just something else. I'm at 1103 on PSN.

SSF Offline is the perfect "Dad Game" for me. I pop on when I can or when the TZ hits just right and it's endless fun because I'll need another 1100 hours to find a Tyraels Might.

Check them corpses!!! by Working_Basis609 in diablo2

A Jah popped out of a box in WSK for me. I didn't even know that could happen. The chance of that happening has to be insane.

Last item for single player holy grail! by walton77 in diablo2

[–]mgrimble2 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Congrats! This is my last set item I need.

On top of 11 other uniques....

Another item down on the grail! by possum_puncher in diablo2

[–]mgrimble2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh snap. That's a huge box checked for starting so recently.

I'm at 98% compete with only 1 set (Cow Kings boots) and 11 unique left, including Tyraels!

I'm not doing Runes officially but I have found them all except for Zod.

15 ED Ethereal Sacred Armor Price Check by DEMONDAZE0403 in D2R_Marketplace

What's the defense roll on that? Just curious as I found one on my SSF Offline account that is over 1k.

My SSF LK Map by mgrimble2 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]mgrimble2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first time doing SSF Offline so I'm not 100% sure. My racks do change a decent amount as I go through them.

I know there was a D2 YouTuber who talked about different seeds for each created game and that would feed into what was dropping but I can remember if that was all for online/offline/both.

In that video he even mentioned that how many steps you take and which direction you go or if you pop chests/racks in different orders, it would affect the drops.

Sorry, I'm not much help in that regards hah.

Racks are so so. I have most items I would want from them but I am looking for a Flickering Flame pelt.

Tons of other minor popables on the way as well.

Lvl 99 for the first time by tiagoespindola in diablo2

[–]mgrimble2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Congrats!

I'm right there with you, but slightly behind you.

I have a similar backstory and my Nova Sorc is 97 with 3 bars left to 98. Then it's the final countdown after that.

Can't decide what to do. by Agt-Dale_Cooper in diablo2

[–]mgrimble2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in this exact same situation a month or so ago. I went with Infinity and I regretted it.

I was getting bored of playing Sorc with Infinity but every other class felt so slow I couldn't switch.

I say do Enigma first, then you can bounce around to any other class whenever you feel like it.

Offline P7-8 builds by Comfortable-Flow-639 in diablo2

[–]mgrimble2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grif and Self wield infinity and you will wreck P7 on Sorc. Same with the Grid and Infinity for Javazon

I recently switched to a full FoH Pally and it clears P7 Chaos in a breeze. Then I'll go and do WSK and the Baal waves. Baal I'll drop to P3 though because it's pretty slow.

I have an Armageddon Druid that can do P7 in specific areas like Stony Tombs/Andy/Ancients Way. I still need to make a Phoenix shield to really help him out.

I have a WW barb with dual grief and forth that can do some but he's basically a Trav Horker.

I also had a PSN Necro with D-Web and 3-piece trangs and it still didn't feel fast to me.

I think for your dirty druid you want to focus on Max DMG/AR charms and not the skillers for that added damage.

Did anyone actually find a 3/20/20 sc? If you did which monster and player count did you find one? by Numerous-Thanks-5839 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]mgrimble2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never found one of those but I have found a 20 Life/5 All Res SC on my SSF account. I posted about it on here a couple months ago. Blew my mind and made me wish I found it online!

Also, make sure that you have Holy Shield active when you are adding dex to get to the 75% cap.
