There were many times during my playthrough in the beta that I felt like I was transported back to my childhood. It doesn’t matter what year this happened in. My Sorceress teammate went into the portal first, stole all my gold, and promptly left our game. I die once again and head through the portal I made in my death rattle. I get close enough to grab my corpse, regain my equipment, and open a portal to town so my next death won’t be as tiresome. I am doing a corpse run, but demons and those annoying bone wraiths surround my dead body. I am running through the Catacombs, essentially naked. It has been almost 17 years since I actually killed the Countess in Act 1 and I am happy to keep that streak going. If you’re lucky, you might be able to skip a quest or two and jump right into a boss fight at the end of each act. There’s a plethora of games in the lobby that you can easily jump in and start questing. Sure, maybe the engine is different under the hood, but the body is the same. However, it is exactly how I remember it. I would assume Blizzard would try and polish the lobby or integrate some sort of Looking For Group (LFG) finder, which has been the backbone of dungeons in World of Warcraft for years now.
I was shocked by how preserved the online experience was in the beta. While there is a single-player mode, the real joy comes from playing with a party of your friends or complete strangers to take down the forces of hell. Many people, myself included, claim that this is the proper way of playing Diablo 2. Times changeĭiablo 2: Resurrected is starting its open beta access where players will pour into the game to test out the multiplayer mode. I log back in and find my character and his corpse in the Rogue Encampment once again.
The beta decides to crash and I am forced to restart my computer.
This is the last mob in the Den, which means my quest is almost complete. I log back in and find my character back in the Rogue Encampment and I am staring at my corpse on the ground.Ģ021: Back inside the Den of Evil, I find a group of Fallen Ones and their shaman.
