I put a ridiculous amount of hours into d2 but I can't honestly call the loot system rewarding especially if someone is going to be playing solo and not using trade systems. I mean sure with tempered expectations and budget build guides you can do alright self found but the game as it evolved wasn't built around that at all. I don't know what I would recommend right now. I started PoE last season and the loot system felt nice but as I was starting to get deeper into it I was feeling like it might be a bit over complicated for the sake of having 'choice' which in fairness there are apparently crazy amounts of useful and fun builds but man can the amount of different stats/drop types get crazy. I'm always a fan of the Borderlands series but they eventually get dominated by legendary drops after all of the DLC(although if you just want to campaign it and do some questing you won't need to min max very hard and can enjoy the loot as is). | ||

Hmm, I actually have no idea. I don't remember getting an adapter like that and don't know if I still have it. Oops. Would be useful, I have nerdily worn it with my phone already... I'll have to go rummaging around through my electronics boxes. | ||

Playing that right now, i really like how easy it is to respec, allowing you to try builds or get rid of skills that you don't like as you go. Gameplay feels a little slow but hopefully it picks up. | ||

If it makes you feel any better, when I made my computer I got a mobo/cpu deal from a retailer and had to send it back(which involved an hour drive both ways) because the mobo wouldn't read ANY ram, regardless of compatibility. So when I got home with a new one and get it going, my CPU fan doesn't spin because the wiring ever so slightly touched the fan blade and stopped it from moving. | ||

You just... pick something and see if it works. Then you do that till you run out of things. Then you Google it. And then if it's not fixed after awhile you know a bunch of shit that isn't broken and even if you can't fix it yourself you saved big bucks bevause you can immediately tell a pro the issue. It's really not hard. It boggles me how many people I know who are just like "Fuck it's broke. Oh well." | ||

Mind boggling, really is. | ||

I didn't seat the RAM properly. Luckily I didn't end up re-purchasing anything unnecessary; a helpful Micro Center employee steered me straight. Now I have an AMAZING rig. I gotta try streaming on it soonish. | ||

It's about how for any given build, some absurd amount of items you find are going to just be ducking worthless outright except for their value in a trading system. Now when I was playing on bnet this wasn't negative, it was part of the charm even, but I just can't recommend it to someone who wanted a game with a standout loot system(which when I think of what that means to me at least is that I find item drops to be rewarding, exciting, useful, but not spoonfed either, and d2 just doesn't cut it in the modern day, which isn't to say the game itself isn't still fun). | ||
