Blizzard Killed Diablo 2 For a Day

[MrLlamaSC]

I actually think this idea of a challenge mode like this could be super fun... but it needs to be established pretty well so everybody knows what is coming and not just thrown in where people can miss it and lose their characters because of it. That's why i have a negative reaction.... the average user got wrecked by this and didn't even know why

[GriefPB]

A moment of silence for all the Baal runners that had no idea and came across a pack of souls.

[Coooley]

This is actually a PHENOMENAL bonus for Public PK'rs ;)

This totally caught me off guard and I got very lucky that I didn't lose my HC Amazon. After I played the 100% FRW day and the Cow revive day, I thought the changes would always help me. Last night, I walked out into a few Gloams in Act 4 and a single shot took about 90% of my health away. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. Like others, I just quit for the night. It's definitely not worth losing a HC character over that nonsense.

Missed your opportunity to set a new record for fastest ultrahardcore hell clear.

When I saw the daily change I just figured I would play the skelly necro today and I took him through nightmare. You don't notice lower resistances if nothing ever hits you.

[pavellysenko]

ES sorceress says: "What are those resistances you are talking about?"

[markwebcraft]

If only they would have dramatically increased the magic find and drop rate, this might have been fun.

[ryanz]

Bobby increasing his resistances on the way out by taking ours.

[saetia]

Imagine being the poor schmuck leveling their sorc start their first day back on ladder then you shift from +75% all res to +100% damage taken.

I just logged out for the day, I couldn't even teleport to bosses.

The only event that I think truly encompassess a "...Nights of Terror" period of events. The 22 nights should be CHALLENGE-based (higher difficulty), not benefit-based (buffed or lower difficulty).

[viljester]

As a person who is always using sub par gear I didn't even notice the change. I am used to trying not to get hit so it was business as usual for me.

[Prof_Bort_Yammy]

Man, having an extra Hell debuff was *insanely* hard.

I died... just... so many times.

[seanb]

died three times yesterday playing with my Skelly Necro on Nightmare. I wanted to play with the barbarian. It was one of a few days off from work for me to play. Very strange thing to implement into a game when there was no reward aspect to the risk we were taking.

[abouttime]

I wonder what the blizzard employees were thinking about this change

[Checkmateqc]

Lost my 92 HC pally to this non sense. I was hunting when the change happened and I wasn't expecting that kind of "buff", didn't had time to realize what was coming my way and died to CE... thanks blizzard...

[Fingolfin]

I used the time during this day to farm cows since they were mostly harmless, assuming you didn't get caught by their melee. Cleaned up and organized mules, made trades, etc.

[zaug]

Blizzard continues to prove just how mindbogglingly atrocious their decision making skills are. It's almost self-sabotage at this point. What were they thinking?

[danbrazier]

I have a fire bowadin that absolutely decimated cows last night. Died several times getting Wirt's legs though lol.

[sooooooooDark]

i guess cow runs as long range character might not be too shabby
