Diablo 2 how long

With five acts to play through, seven character classes to choose from — each very much different from another, and online co-op to consider, the time to beat Diablo 2: Resurrected will vary a lot from player to player.

Some players mighty blast through the game on Normal difficulty in about ten hours, but it could take others up to thirty. And then there are the additional difficulties to consider. Completing the game on Normal difficulty unlocks Nightmare, and then completing that unlocks Hell. Both have additional twists that make the gameplay more engaging, and new items become available as well.

Getting all of its achievements or trophies, for example, will take hundreds of hours, as it requires players to complete Hell difficulty with each available character class, as well as reach level 99 with a Hardcore character.

Realistically how long do you think it will take to get through normal? I'm curious to see peoples answers in terms of both game time and real time. Obviously this will depend on how you play. If you're the type rushing through to get to hardcore, you'll probably go through quicker than the person doing full clears of every zone. I'll be somewhere in the middle, but probably leaning towards full clears. Doing twinked SK runs I'm averaging probably about minutes. I'm going to guess that the later acts will take me more time than the first act.

If they were evenly paced that would be hours. I'm going to guess that the later acts take more time. I reasonably think it will take me a good 25 hours of gameplay to complete normal.

Assuming blizzard does the normal Tuesday release, I hope to complete it some time during the first weekend, though it might be longer depending on how I split my time between solo and playing with my friends who I can almost guarantee will be putting in less time than me. So I'm think 25 hours of gameplay, and probably finishing normal sometime during the first weekend.

What about you? Zokar Diabloii. For those who are insane, this would be doable in one sitting. But those who will do so, I imagine will be relatively few. I think for the avid gamer who is dedicated to D3 but have other obligations would be making their way into Inferno after a full week for their first character. The things you have those Pavlovian response to, knowing it's Diablo 2. Those are the sounds you're still going to hear. A shared item stash: Say goodbye to mule characters.

Auto-looting and other QoL upgrades are optional: "Auto-gold is a feature we've added that you can turn on or off," says principal designer Rob Gallerani, who works at Vicarious Visions, a studio now under the Blizzard umbrella.

If you want to run over it to pick it up, you can run over it. There's an auto-party system for automatically joining games and automatically inviting people to your game, but it's optional. If you want to type "pp" in chat the old-fashioned way, you still can. Completely remade cutscenes: This is the one place where D2R actually is a remake. The cutscenes have been completely redone rather than upscaled from the original files, but with involvement from people who worked on the cutscenes back in But again, same performances, shot-for-shot, if it cut from one scene to another in the original it's going to cut at that moment in the remake of those videos.

Modding: There are 20 years of Diablo 2 mods out there at this point, and Diablo 2: Resurrected will still allow modding. But it won't work exactly the same way, since modern Battle. Gallerani pointed to. However, he also said that many parts of the game that once required those kinds of invasive mods to modify have been shifted into easily modifiable data, so modders will still be able to access them despite Battle. It also offers the advantages of just being able to click on a friend's name to invite them without typing in an IP address or scrolling through a list of game lobbies.

Hosting games now means you're hosting a dedicated Battle. I asked which consoles, but Fergusson says that's still in discussion the smart money says Nintendo and Xbox are locked down, but Sony remains up in the air.
