I think I would be playing D1 more than D2 if it had more items, an actual party/PVP system, less hacks, no overly simple dupe methods, and various other little tweaks. Diablo 2 is better over all though due to its lasting MF/PVP qualities. an earthquake greater than that which they are designed against for the 2 - year period versus the probability. The classes in Diablo 1 are horribly imbalanced to the sorcerers favor too, more so than D2.ĭiablo 2 stands out in its longevity, but fails in the areas of atmosphere, story, or that feeling of 'survival' the original game had. But in my opinion they're all pretty minor compared to Diablo 2, which has magic finding and PVP. There are a few lasting qualities, such as beating normal/nightmare/hell, leveling to 50, and book finding. It has 'bad' items (items with -stats, -light radius, -mana etc), and 'bad' monsters (like Black Deaths, who permanently remove 1 hp when they hit you), which with combined with the atmosphere and no ability to run, makes for a pretty good pseudo survival action game. Diablo 2 Resurrected is here for a Technical Alpha so we put together a very fast comparison looking at the graphics of Diablo 2 vs the remake Diablo.

There are no exceptional or elite items period, which hurts the gear dependant warrior the most in later difficulties. When you play through normal mode, you've seen just about all there is to see though, items included.
