Path of Diablo does a great job of keeping the original Diablo 2 feel while also making some significant changes.Įase of use has gone way up thanks to customizable loot filters, shift- and control-clicking items to move them around, advanced stat sheets, increased character stash and permanent stash space. And our lovely mercenary companions have seen significant improvements so that not everyone is running around with Waheed from Act 2. Changes have also been made to some areas of the game, with troublesome spots (like the Maggot Lair) now much easier to navigate. Yes, items, runewords, and skills have seen changes to better balance gear, resulting in a more diverse collection of characters and builds.

There are many servers hosted around the world that can be chosen on a per-game basis, and there are ladder resets that bring changes to the game to keep it fresh. Path of Diablo is a private multiplayer server mod that's been going strong now for about five years.

Blizzard seems reticent about a Diablo 2 remaster - which might not be a good idea anyway considering what happened with Warcraft III: Reforged - but longtime fans of the game have taken it into their own gauntleted hands and have created some truly spectacular mods for the hack-n-slash game we all love the most. Many items and builds have been unbalanced for more than a decade, multiplayer games are filled with bots and scammers, and the tiny stash space puts a real damper on a game where collecting loot is the main focus.

It's fun to jump into the original Diablo 2 and its Lord of Destruction expansion pack, but I don't blame you if 20 years of the same ol' game has faded the appeal ever so slightly.ĭiablo 2 might be one of the best PC games ever made, but it isn't perfect. It's really the best way to wait out the Diablo 4 release date, which is still in the dark. The best aRPG of all time (opinions may vary) is still going strong more than 20 years after its initial release, with vanilla servers still populated and ladders still being reset. Diablo 2 is the real Diablo Immortal, no matter how many people have phones in hand.
