I was recently thinking about starting to play Diablo 2 again. I haven't beaten the game on every difficulty yet, and I know I'm missing out on some fun stuff. The thing is, I don't know exactly how to play. By that I mean offline or online. I like the luxury of the /players cheat offline so that I can quickly grind to a decent level, as well as not needing internet to play, but the Uber quest online sounds like fun.
The question is, do you guys think it's worth the sacrifice of flexibility and quick grinding to play online and get the Uber quests/PVP(which I've never actually done either)?
If you never passed it once on your own, with out boosting / help from higher level friends lucky you, since you can really enjoy in game that even today is amazing. I would highly recommend you to play game from start to finish with out any help, except if you want to play with few friends from start, with out using any items from other characters.
I prefer playing offline. Bnet is filled with bots and cheaters plus YOU may get ip bans for doing short boss runs(so called "bot protection", thing is, they have routines to go to x, wait for y, yadda yadda like a real person. do you do that?).
BUT playing offline, you should absolutely get PlugY. That's a mod, which enables all the otherwise bnet only stuff(certain rune words, uber quests etc) and gives you a giant shared stash. There are even more options including cheats(optional!), but these things are something I wouldn't want to give up. Look for the user Phrozendragon, I think I've seen links in his signature to PlugY.
I totally forgot about the ladder resets. Maybe playing offline would be a good idea. Get a good build going and then start up again when the ladder does reset. I hope they make an announcement though, and do it before/during my spring break week.
