Blizzard could go under and I wouldn’t even be sad about it any more.

Paid class DLC that has no new story and people are getting hyped over it? Disappointing…
Guys, there’s plenty D2 mods, no need to buy the new Kool-aid from the sexual assault studio.

Can it be played 100% offline? The first remaster could not on PC :(
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
Not in multiplayer, at least. LAN was deliberately patched out, and we know from Alanah Pearce’s channel that this game in particular could have LAN back extremely easily if they wanted it.

Too bad, I just wanna play alone and not depend on their fucking servers ever, of have to by a re-remaster in 2040 ;)

As a lore fanatic of d1 and d2, plus the books all around those, seeing blizzard shove an extra class into a classic masterpiece and probably fuck all that up bothers me tremendously.
However, I can’t believe I’m saying… I’m actually happy they kept to their super money hungry ways this time and kept it a paid expansion. I can rest easy knowing I can still play the classic without this tainting it for me.

The Genre-Defining Action RPG, Better than Ever
Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition includes the critically acclaimed remaster of Diablo II and its Lord of Destruction® expansion, together with the brand-new Reign of the Warlock DLC.
Journey through the Hell-scarred land of Sanctuary; faithfully preserved and enhanced with modern 3D graphics, remastered audio, and updated cinematics.
The included Reign of the Warlock DLC expands upon the Diablo II: Resurrected experience with the brand-new Warlock class, an overhauled endgame, fresh mechanics, and modern quality-of-life updates.
Eight Classes, Eight Players, Endless Replayability
Experience the story of a world ravaged by eternal conflict between the forces of Heaven and Hell. Obtain powerful items, master over 200 awe-inspiring skills across eight classes, and vanquish the minions of the Burning Hells in 8 player co-op. Dominate the leaderboards, then get a fresh start with seasonal ladder resets that introduce new challenges.
New Class - Warlock
The Warlock arrives in Diablo II: Resurrected, a master of shadow who turns the power of the Burning Hells against itself.
Command forbidden power through three unique paths:
• Demon focuses on enslaving hellspawn and binding them into loyal, fearsome allies that fight at your command.
• Eldritch channels searing mental magics into ordinary weapons, transforming them into conduits of devastating force.
• Chaos unleashes the raw elements of Hell, fire and shadow allowing you to rain elemental destruction upon your enemies from afar.
New Challenges, New Builds
Collect new Unique items, sets, and runewords to create powerful new builds for classic classes.
Take on expanded endgame challenges with Terror Zone updates, the Colossal Ancients fight, reworked enemy difficulty scaling, and new mechanics that reward strategy and class mastery.
Track your progress with the new Chronicle system, which shows all the items you’ve collected account-wide and rewards completionists with exclusive bonuses.
Refined, Not Reimagined
Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition includes powerful quality-of-life updates without compromising Diablo II’s iconic feel. The new customizable Loot Filter reduces screen clutter, helping you identify the gear that matters most to you. Managing resources across characters is also easier than ever with updated Stash Tabs, including dedicated tabs for gems, materials, and runes for quick sorting.
Feeling nostalgic? Switch freely between eras and experience Diablo II the way you remember.
Cross-Game Rewards
Celebrate your journey through Sanctuary and beyond. Instantly unlock Kervek the Putrid Pet and the Forbidden Tethers Back Trophy in Diablo IV, giving your wanderer a touch of forbidden flair. You’ll also receive the Horadric Cube Housing Item in World of Warcraft, a timeless artifact to display proudly at your home in Azeroth

Holy shit, a remaster that actually adds more content… I’m more shoked by this than the Epstein files!

I guess I have this on battle.net originally. Is there an upgrade or so I need to buy the whole damn thing over again?
master94ga@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
If you have the base game of the remaster you can just buy the DLC on BattleNet
cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 7 hours ago
Man what a rip. 50$ for the game + expansion. Or $30 for the expansion. Lol.
Already own d2r on switch and battle.net. Might as well just rebuy the whole thing on steam this time to make it easier to play on Linux/deck.

No point.
If they’re going to make you require the Blizzard launcher and a Blizzard account anyways, what’s the point?
I already had it for a couple years when it was only on Blizzard.
