WoW Player Tries DIABLO 1 For the FIRST TIME! (Full Game)

[@jaei6680]

D2 is good, but in D1 loved the feeling of of diving alone into a massive dungeon system, going deeper and deeper and eventually ending up in Hell. Part of me wanted the same in D2 on a grander scale and was kinda disappointed in how much time we spent on a open surface maps.

[@redmoonbloodmoon3161]

D2 was great for the MP/online experience/play with others, but otherwise, as a game, such a boring dull empty bland world (completely abandoned the entire "diablo dungeon crawler terror down into hell" feel of the game it was suppose to be, as done so well with diablo 1), and ultimately, it's just about farming for gg rare (yellow) items in chaos sanctuary (depending on the character/class/skill builds you want to use) D2 LoD just further ruined the game for me, and it also made classic such a struggle too (at least with single/offline play, as in mp/online, there's all of the party skills that can allow many different types of builds, and a party/team is able to do multiple types of damage to deal with immunes)

[@WolfRaven-jm1cm]

That's how OD&D is played. Campaign 1: Is a dungeon crawl. Campaign 2: Is an overworld multi-year, multi-adventure, with many different dungeons. You don't actually go to hell but to a lair corrupted by Diablo that resembled Hell.

[@mrdan2898]

Agree. I love the music in D1!

[@coopcop4909]

@@redmoonbloodmoon3161 now i know what people mean when they say you are stuck in the nostalgia. almost all of act 1 is a dungeon crawler, then you go to act 2 where the wanderer is trying to learn how to stop diablo and you crawl through more dungeons to find the staff and cube etc, act 3 you are dungeon crawling for a bunch of innards, act 4 is literally hell. i got nothing for act 5, never enjoyed that part of the game myself.

I’ve been replaying Diablo 1 recently. It’s actually possible to play Hell difficulty with a level 1 sorcerer. If you manage to get the first kill spamming fireballs, you get to level 5 straight away and can invest into mana to do more damage. Any other character, forget about it. You physically can’t hit often or high enough to overcome the monster health regen.

Totally enjoyed the play through. This is an old school dungeon crawl. My friends and I played this through multiple times with different characters through all difficulty levels. You could network the games via a pier to pier connection, first multiplayer game that did this. Diablo in the "hell" difficulty is almost invincible. we found a cpu timing bug in the original game where if you went to pick up an item, and grabbed a potion from your belt you could duplicate the item by changing the potion into it. This allowed us to get enough money to finance some of the very powerful magic items. :-D The music for this game was awesome! I still have it on my playlist for RPG and fantasy music

[@jannemec9963]

Thank you for returning to great memories from my childhood. I played this game when I was, maybe 12 years old? But it was different. Not like in these days.

[@kupoflupo3346]

ah yes.. the game where you can panic save right before a lightning bolt hits you when you have 1 hp and therefore ruin your save

[@Freshbrood]

Regardless of what character I play, I always buy the highest + magic gear and weapons then drop them near the witch's shack. Just equip them, learn a spellbook, then drop them and equip your fighting gear, and that way any player can eventually learn any level spell. It's a slow grind but by end game you have quite the beefy spellcaster.

[@sakaraist]

Why have I never thought of that goddamn

[@PLF...]

I'll say this while it might claim to be Original.. This isn't completely unmoded there are many QOL upgrades on this emulator that I can see besides the wide screen. there are way too many drops dropping and the way the durability shows on your stuff is QOL, and I'm pretty sure holding control to see items on the ground is another QOL upgrade

[@haroldsaxon1075]

Holding control is, in fact, original to the game.

[@Clayne151]

I'm pretty sure all that was in the original game, except screen size. I played it a lot back than, but never in recent times or in an emulator.

[@in4moon]

there were no drop indicators in D1, also drops are too rich, and tehre's plety other little QOL things (if I noticed corectly Pipin sells elixirs in this version, which in D1 I don't recall he ever did).

it operates on the latest D1 patch + wide screen modding

About 20 years ago someone gave me the Classic Diablo2. I believe he was more into FinalFantasy. And I always thought that was my first encounter with Diablo. So after buying and playing D2R just recently I wanted to look into some more lore and stumbled upon this video and realised I have played the first Diablo!! 😱 I saw pictures before, but my brain never made the connection. But when I saw you playing and walking around and discorvering those spellbooks, the magic scrolls, the witch (Adria) in the corner and the dumping of the inventory around the fountain it all dawned on me, Like OMG I actually do remember this!

I remember playing the PS1 version with my brother back in the late 90's. We tried HELL once. Never again. as you start getting to higher character levels, and you start getting more funds saved up, you startbgetting access to various spell books, and other beneficial portions. We built a couple different loot bag characters. When we got a specific book or potion we wanted to save, we would save our character with the item in bag, reload the game as 2-player and load a Bot. Drop the item on thr ground for Bot to pick up, then Save Character. No GameShark, or Game Genie, just broke the game with in-game options and beefed up characters over and over. I think we only ever actually played through and "beat" the game once. We just loved going into the dungeon and beating up monsters. The random map generator kept the gameplay fairly fresh and interesting, for over-caffinated 14-16 year olds anyway.

[@gks12]

So the Butcher didn't spawn because he didn't talk to the dying guy in front of the church?

The game randomly gives you like 80% of the possible quests except a couple mandatory that are story related every time.

normally you go normal, then you start a new game with the same character in nightmare or go hell... but yeah bold going into nightmare. As a late gen-xer i was in 8th-9th grade when this came out and still is in my top 5 best action rpg ever, best Diablo ever made IMO to this day

Warrior: critical hit chance (melee only): clvl (max is clvl 50 = max of 50% chance of critical hit with melee) +20 modifier for melee accuracy +10 modifier for bow accuracy (but his natural bow speed is slow, need 'swiftness' affix on bow for better attack speed) has fastest natural blocking speed (it's actually maxed out, so the 'fast block' affix on shield does nothing) has fastest natural hit recovery speed fastest natural weapon speed with swords/maces (swords/maces are faster weapon speed than axes) fastest natural weapon speed with axes (swords/maces are faster weapon speed than axes) slowest natural cast speed (fast block affix doesn’t make blocking faster/better for the warrior, as his natural block speed is already at/the-same-as the maximum block speed) (warrior can use a bow, for killing stuff from a distance like the black deaths or whatever dangerous monster and/or for killing the otherwise annoying fleeing/teleporting monsters until high clvl: 45-50, and with good gear, when you can "telekill" effectively, though, there's also spell usage as well for this, however with the bow, he naturally shoots slow with it, so the bow will need the 'swiftness' affix for faster attack speed, though he also casts the slowest too if using spells, so a bow can be more useful than spells, as well as the issue with resistance/immunity in using spells as well too) initial/starting stats: STR: 30 MAG: 10 DEX: 20 VIT: 25 life: 70 (+2 at level up) (+2 for each pt into VIT) mana: 10 (+1 at level up) (+1 for each pt into MAG) maximum stats (naked / no equipment): STR: 250 MAG: 50 DEX: 60 VIT: 100 life: 316 (clvl 50, with presumably maxed out stats/VIT, and being, naked / no equipment) mana: 98 (clvl 50, with presumably maxed out stats/MAG, and being, naked / no equipment) warrior skill: repair equipment free/unlimited usage, but it lowers the equipment's maximum durability each time, so this is good for "junk" equipment to save time (and gold) not having to go back to town to get your equipment repaired at griswald for a price/cost/fee, but if it's good equipment, then you DO want to repair at griswald's in town, as you don't want to be lowering the equipment's maximum durability (when you repair equipment at griswald in town, it costs gold, but it does NOT lower the equipment's maximum durability) stat priority: DEX > VIT > MAG > STR ------------------- Rogue: +20 modifier for bow accuracy fastest natural weapon speed with bows slowest natural blocking speed (while, you can go one-hand melee with shield, or even two-hand melee and no shield, for fun/challenge/RP/situationally/etc, but both are inferior, as the Rogue class is directly for using a bow) initial/starting stats: STR: 20 MAG: 15 DEX: 30 VIT: 20 life: 45 (+2 at level up) (+1 for each pt into VIT) mana: 22 (+2 at level up) (+1 for each pt into MAG) maximum stats (naked / no equipment): STR: 55 MAG: 70 DEX: 250 VIT: 80 life: 201 (clvl 50, with presumably maxed out stats/VIT, and being, naked / no equipment) mana: 173 (clvl 50, with presumably maxed out stats/MAG, and being, naked / no equipment) rogue skill: disarm trap free/unlimited usage, the chance of success is based (its equation/formula/calculation) upon your DEX stat stat priority: DEX > STR > MAG > VIT --------------------- Sorcerer: +20 modifier for spell accuracy has slowest natural blocking speed has slowest natural hit recovery speed slowest natural weapons (all weapons) speed fastest natural cast speed initial/starting stats: STR: 15 MAG: 35 DEX: 15 VIT: 20 life: 30 (+1 at level up) (+1 for each pt into VIT) mana: 70 (+2 at level up) (+2 for each pt into MAG) maximum stats (naked / no equipment): STR: 45 MAG: 250 DEX: 85 VIT: 80 life: 138 (clvl 50, with presumably maxed out stats/VIT, and being, naked / no equipment) mana: 596 (clvl 50, with presumably maxed out stats/MAG, and being, naked / no equipment) sorcerer skill: recharge staff free/unlimited usage, but it lowers the staff's maximum charge amount/value each time, so this is good for "junk" staffs to save time (and gold) not having to go back to town to get your staff recharged at adria for a price/cost/fee, but if it's a good staff, then you DO want to get it recharged at adria's in town, as you don't want to be lowering your staff's maximum charge amount/value stat priority: MAG > STR > DEX > VIT

Rogue: -------- end game ("GG" = godly gear) equipment: -------- weapons: Emerald (+[41-50]% resist all) Long War Bow (1-14 damage, 7.5 avg damage) of the Heavens (+[12-15] all stats) Emerald (+[41-50]% resist all) Long War Bow (1-14 damage, 7.5 avg damage) of Swiftness ('fast' attack speed) Merciless (151-175% damage) Long War Bow (1-14 damage, 7.5 avg damage) of the Heavens (+[12-15] all stats) Merciless (151-175% damage) Long War Bow (1-14 damage, 7.5 avg damage) of Swiftness ('fast' attack speed) Windforce (unique long war bow: 1-14 damage, 7.5 avg damage): x3 damage (+200%), knock back effect (this isn't a hinderance, as you need to be lined up anyways in order to have good accuracy, and obviously is a benefit in keeping you safe), +5 STR Eaglehorn (unique long battle bow: 1-10 damage, 5.5 avg damage): x2 damage (+100%), +50% accuracy, +20 DEX, indestructible (this is the only “way” to have an indestructible bow, which can save you a lot of gold as bow repairs are very expensive due to their affixes, so this is a really good bow to use, until gold no longer matters for you at all, and it’s still one of the best bows too, though its not the very best bow) Deadly Hunter (unique composite bow: 3-6 damage, 4.5 avg damage): only against demons for the x3 damage (+200% vs demons), but for undead and animal, no bonus damage, +20% accuracy, -5 MAG -------------- weapons, if/when going melee: King’s (+[76-100]% damage) Bastard Sword () of Haste () // (for animals: x1.5 damage) King’s (+[76-100]% damage) Bastard Sword () of the Heavens () // (for animals: x1.5 damage) King’s () (Flail and/or War Hammer) of Haste () // (for undead: x1.5 damage) (undead are only found on: dlvls 1-8 = church and catacomb regions) King’s (Flail and/or War Hammer) of the Heavens () // (for undead: x1.5 damage) (undead are only found on: dlvls 1-8 = church and catacomb regions) Civerb's Cudgel (unique) (for demons: x3.0 damage or +200% damage) -------- shield (if/when going melee): Stormshield (unique) Awesome (Gothic/Tower) Shield of the Tiger/Perfection/Titan/Stars/Heavens Emerald/Obsidian (Gothic/Tower) Shield of the Tiger/Perfection/Titan/Stars/Heavens ------------ head: Royal Circlet (unique) Gotterdamerung (unique) ------------ body: Awesome Full Plate Mail of Heavens/Stars/Perfection ----------- amulet: Obsidian/Dragon Amulet of the Zodiac ------------ rings: Obsidian/Dragon Ring of the Zodiac Obsidian/Dragon Ring of the Zodiac --------------------- damage/stun (merciless) vs resistance (emerald) long war bow: the best type/quality of bow: Long War Bow: 1-14 damage Long War Bow: (1+14)/2 = 7.5 avg damage as can be seen, the bow itself doesn’t do much damage… so: merciless long war bow: 21 avg damage per hit emerald long war bow: 7.5 avg damage per hit difference: +14 avg damage per hit for the merciless long war bow (ignoring how much heavens/perfection/swiftness suffixes adds to the damage per hit as well and also the more likely stun effect) +14 avg damage per hit vs more mana (due to being able to use dragon prefix on jewelry instead of obsidian, due to getting the resistance from the Emerald Long War Bow) ya, +14 avg damage per hit over time is very huge, but it likely won't cause each individual monster (oblivion lords and arch magistrates on hell/hell) to take any significantly less hits to kill them, (and presumably you'll still be stun-locking them too without the extra +14 avg damage per hit), so, there's a really good argument for using emerald prefix instead of the merciless prefix I presume an end game rogue will likely do plenty of damage and stun-locking, without needing the 21 avg damage per hit from using the merciless prefix, so end game wise, it's better to use emerald prefix, allowing you to switch from obsidian prefix to dragon prefix on one of your jewels (amulet/rings), for more mana, which enables more "mini mage" play by your rogue, which is a better usage of your rogue as an end game rogue, assuming you don't need the extra damage to kill and stun-lock

[@davidhujik3422]

My main is Aiden the warrior always

[@digitalworms]

Man I bought this launch such a great time! Bnet was wild then! People using trainers got to be such a problem wasnt even fun playing online! Seeing a warrior walk around using apocalypse and killing everything then lying they wasnt hacking was something else! Apocalypse was a staff only skill and a warrior using it with a sword lmao!

[@guigomez3441]

its a real time rogue like, the creator brevik was mainly in love with rogue like games thats why. Its the reason its better than D2, more immersive. A perfect game would be a mix of D1 and D2.

[@Elchupanibres]

D1 is basically one area, D2 was alot more open, u cant really fairly compare them

[@independentthought3390]

Don't be so static, you need to be moving around and avoiding projectiles. Also as a rogue, you need to constantly move backwards and have an escape plan ready.
