WinterEcho Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Not good in any way for trophy hunters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CelestialRequiem Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 Excellent list. Finally, a game that expects something from its players. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhyrxianLibrarin Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 YIKES I have probably sunk more hours into Diablo 2 in my lifetime than any other game, and unless they've rebalanced something, this trophy list is completely ludicrous. Level 99 on hardcore is simply untenable; either you play online and get ganked by a random mob of lightning-enchanted, explode-on-death monsters, or you play offline and spend thousands of hours (and maybe still get ganked). Everything else is pseudo-reasonable, even the "get a Stone of Jordan" trophy as I assume co-op will still allow item trading. But hardcore was a disaster game mode in the 2000's, and if this truly is the same game as before, I'm out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartgroove Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Also seems like there is no way to enter commands on console. So no /players 8 command, the only way to grind it will be with other players. Solo will be months of grind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JunkSkelington Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) I would have been okay with a lvl 99 trophy for standard but for hardcore it's just stupid. They could have gone with 90 and it would still be a huge grind/challenging/risky without mind numbing frustration for one mistake after hundreds of hours. I have the platinum in Path of Exile but PoE was grinding strength for your character to complete difficult bosses/encounters. D2 is literally just running the same thing over and over for a tiny amount of exp. It's not a challenge, it's boring and pointless, and if you run into an insta-kill mob on one of your 4000+ baal runs this is without a doubt controller smashing scenario.

Pendaemonium Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Maybe there is a New Game+ kinda thing after you finish the Story that would make the XP gain more reasonable for Level 99? There must be a trick to all this. I doubt that the Developers would want to make the List extra hard just to fuck with Achievement hunters. Tho those Devs do exist in other games haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time you reach the end of the game you can start at an higher difficulty level. Reaching 99 is still absolute madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going from 98 to 99 is the same as going from 1 - 98. Going from 98 to 99 is like 40,000 Ball kills with 1 player in offline mode. If you do it on pc you can toggle 8 player mode and it's like 3500 kills, which takes around 212 hours doing a 1minute 18 second run. But you can't toggle 8 player mode on consoles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagusCreed Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I had a level 80 Hardcore Barbarian back in the day and that took me a massive amount of time just to get there. If there is no experience tweaking from the original game, this is a Platinum on par with Super Meat Boy and Wolfenstein. I'm sure there will be players who will get this eventually, but it honestly won't be me with how it looks to be currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you put it like that... I'm seriously considering not getting it now. 40k Baal runs for an offline hardcore savescum character are not worth the platinum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that could "help" is if Blizzard did events like XP Weekends or something to that effect. But even then, it's probably not going to help with the grind that much.

It would still require to only play this game for an unfathomable amount of time and this trophy list would probably break me and make me stop trophy hunting altogether 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillynoc Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Was considering getting this - after all, I've only played homages/ripoffs like Darksiders Genesis and Victor Vran, and I thought it'd be nice to experience the "source material" as it were. But now? HELLLLLL no. I'm not spending several months to a year of my life on one video game, grinding out experience until I'm a hollow gray shell of myself for a damn trophy. I thought Gran Turismo 5 requiring 600 hours for the plat was ludicrous, but somehow ActiBliz made that look tame by comparison. Holy shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post arcanehornet_ Posted September 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2021 Finally, a platinum that requires blood, sweat, and possibly tears. Should silence those who say all platinums are too easy nowadays. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialRequiem Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It's amazing how this site doesn't like facilitating people complaining about a list being too easy, but most of this thread is people bitching about something being expected from them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
