hmm annoyingly, if I'm reading the game right they are using the wrong value for the DPS in he comparative tooltips.

If you notice on the below screenshots, the 2 handed staff says it has 12.5 more damage. (and yes, I removed the books to see if that's what causes the error, without it it's 15.1 more)

However if you look at the damage value in the attributes block, my one handed staff and book, gives me 70.49 dps, while the staff gives 69.11 dps. so the two handed staff in fact slightly lowers my dps. so the tooltip comparison does not count increased damage from attributes I guess, which kind of makes the comparative tooltip absolutely useless.

At least I'm in europe so I don't have to suffer the constant server outtages. unlessI wanna play my barb which the buggy game placed on the US servers after I logged into the euro server.

Still, if they had offered online SP and the thousand of players who just wanted to play SP could have used that, they wouldn't have had these problems in the first place since the servers wouldn't have been hammered.

@Hawkman - You wand has a higher +dmg modifier. And that just shows ya how good +dmg is. I recommend it on your rings, amulet and weapon as well as stacking rubies (i believe) in your weapons. At lower levels at least +dmg awesome. No idea how it'll turn out in hell/inferno.

I wish dying has more consequences to it.... I'm not sure I like all the streamlining and actually miss some of the things from Diablo 2 that I didn't think I'd miss at all... Things like

* Not having points to spend in character attributes (int, con, str, wis, dex)

* Not having much selection (at least at the early levels) for skills

* Are there no socketed items? I guess I miss the rune-words and collecting those in the hope that you will eventually have something really good.

* Running to my corpse after dying to get all my items before a monster wrecks my naked body

Idk why but...i miss those things.

Sockets are still in the game as well as Gems

Rune words were replaced with skill runes

dont care too much for losing out on attribute points as i am not fond of games that require you to spend them yourself.

I also miss running to your body to collect your stuff, i was surprised that they removed it from the game.

Good play through yesterday Firey. Double Monk apparently is a good strat. Server went down at a good time, because a friend arrived just then.

Yea it worked out well, cuz I had food in the oven that was just finishing up as the servers went down. Also yea the double monks was sick, we could heal each other and do crazy dps and damage mitigation.

Have to play again for sure.

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1

      KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
