Quote:Indeed, only well-equipped, well-built, and well-played characters should be able to complete hell difficulty in solo with /players 1. Well-equipped, well-built, and well-played parties could do it together in higher player count games. Characters not meeting requirements of hell difficulty would have to end the game in normal or nightmare... That's what increasing difficulty is about, right? Only the best characters make it to the end, not everyone.
Hello, isn't the beauty of the game that there are so many options how to play. If you think players 1 is too easy for you, you go one to players 2,3,4, etc. The way you (tommi) say it is that you should just be lucky to find all the good stuff so you can finish the game. Well we all know the zod rune posts....not a lot of people will find these super-items. What about all the special builds? (sorcs with swords, barbs with fists, ironmans) They are unable to finish the game like this.
If you really want a challenge you have to make it yourself....what about this one. You post a standars character with a given stat en skill build-up, and with standard gear (that everybody can find). Then play with this character for let's say 1 week, and see who leveled up most or reached the most quests. If diablo was so straightforward that there was only one way to play, not so many people would play it.
But this is just my humble opinion.
