I don't think it would be wise to start playing HC straight away. Learn the game a bit, then try. Personally, I think one hit kills are bad game design, plain and simple. If you one hit kill people you give them no chance to react against whatever they are facing. It becomes all the worse if random things can kill you if you try to interact with them.

ya ive thought about not playing hc, but tbh doesnt seem fun. any game that has hc im going for that mode from that start its how im built, i was more asking overall. i had 2 friends quit d2hc cause dolls exploded and killed instantly impossible to react. i just hope there arent 1 hit kills i want some skill!

I know stuff like instakills can be bad, but I am more or less for them. They add some excitement and gets some emotion out of the gamer. Second best feeling in diablo after getting something rare has to be surviving a very dangerous situation, at least for me it is.

I don't think it's that random either to be honest. You might die the first time you encounter a one hit kill enemy, but after that you should run as soon as you see one.

Favorite act in D2? Gotta be Act 2. Everyone's least favorite? Act 3. Learn from this blizzard! Don't make tiny enemies that constantly run from you at mock 3! NO DEAD ENDS IN THE SWAMP!


Am I the only one who loved Act 4?


And 1 and 5!

2 and 3 blew.


1 4 and 5 are all good.

3 is just terribly annoying, the jungle part.

2 is much better than 3, especially summoners palace and the final crypt + snake stuff ( and undead sewer dude ).

Hope they don't do another act 3 in D3.


3 and 4 were terrible, imo. 4 is far too short, and 3 was just PAINFUL to go through.
1 is the very definition of epic, one of the best "opening acts" in an RPG. After the Mass Effect opening. :-D
2 is kind of drawn out, but interesting, and plundering through all the tombs in search of the real one is probably the best ~2 hours in the entire game.
3 makes me want to murder fluffy kittens. Horrible jungle design, confusing layouts, annoying enemies, and annoying bosses. Truly the worst in the game.
4 is too short, and has some really annoying monsters in it. Plus it always seemed I was underleveled when going through it, no matter how hard I crushed Act 3 when going through it. Also annoying, the final boss ranges from LOL autoattack and go get something to drink, to OMFG 10 minutes in I have used 500 potions and broke 6 weapons and he is at 75% life, depending on what hero you are, and how lucky you got with finding items(assuming you're soloing, and not getting dropped op weapons by some level 95 friend).
5 brought back the lulz. Cool levels, cool bosses, cool monsters, cool quests. Good ending.

Act 5 was the best, in terms of artistic merit, change in scenerary, mini quests.

The biggest wtf moment was the Summoner's stage in Act2, I'm sure everyone is use to it now, but the first time I saw it was i was like..

Yes, but I never bothered to actually look unless I was rushing, which i rarely did. It was much funner to clean them out one by one.

oh trust me i love the thrill, i just am not a big fan of not being able to kill a monster, as a melee v dolls u literally have to either let ur merc kill them or run. but i mean tele and merc killing dolls is super thrilling for sure. starting to get mildy off topic. just wanted some thoughts. BRING D3!

I guess act 3 was a bit annoying with the flayers, especially the melee and exploding ones, but I really liked the NPCs and quests for that act. The environment was also great, just maps too huge and confusing.

Act 4 was still somehow the worst though, IMO. Too short, and a lot of blah stuff. Monsters were rather hard (although dependent on class), and environment was pretty bland

I absolutely love instakills in d2. I definitely think they should be in d3 as well. I recall instantly dying to a bugged nightmare ancients (FE + something else that makes it do a billion damage) and losing my first 'serious' hc character. Lost another one to dolls. Now every time I went to a3, or saw that particular combination on nm ancients, my heart was beating like crazy because I knew the stakes were so high.

So imho, definite yes on instakills in d3 =D

Serious? Have you ever done CS runs in classic d2? The Chaos Sanctuary is the best designed area in the game, period. Its the end-game content that the game needed, it has the deepest gameplay of D2 and it works great. It is act 5 that is a giant sack of fail due to boring baal runs and wp/tp bosses being the only thing of value.

The reason why act 1 is great is because it still has some of the Diablo 1 vibe in the environments and music as it was done in the very beginning of dev-work
Aah thats the stuff..

The conversation started about what kind of acts we would like to see in Diablo 3, which Diablo 2 is a very good reference for so I don't think your argument counts right there. No one wants to see a Diablo 3 act 3 like Diablo 2 had.

I think Act 1 was a great way to kick off the game. It had some of the classic feel, but also introduced all of the improvements in fun way

act 1 way the best act. In d2 and 3, it goes darker as you go.

don't think you're allowed to make hc until you beat the game. btw if you are so hardcore why are you in the same post asking the game to be easier?

well you used to not be able to but now u can play hc from the start. also it was just for discussion, as i said 2 of my friends quit and made a valid point that it was an insta kill, no way to skill out of it per say. i was just interested in some viewpoints that is all
