superstitions?

wondering if anyone else has any D2R superstitions they have? my big two are i dont like deckard id things for me. i think he rolls quite shitly so i dont let him id stuff for me, the logical part of my brain knows it makes no difference, but i still dont do it. the other is i feel like its bad joo joo to hold alt while im killing a large group of monster, like if im doing cows and there is a huge herd i prefer to kill the whole herd before i press alt and check the drops (obviously not in public games of course). anyone else have anything like that they do?

Lol this made me laugh. That bastard deckard always giving shitty rolls!

I almost never ID things with deckard, but because im so impatient the second i find ANYTHING i immediately ID it with the tome. xD

I am compelled every single time to pop the dead crucified rogue in the fire at the back-left corner of Catacombs Lvl 4 after I kill Andy. I know it's just gold but I can't not do it.

I once saw a streamer identify a crucial item by going to the

Chaos Sanctuary, killing monsters and using the very first

Scroll of Identify that would drop there, lol.

I knew I wasn't the only one that feels this way. I know that logically speaking, it doesn't matter, but my gut instinct always gets the better of me. I use Cain to ID rares and below, uniques I always ID them myself, that way I can only rage at myself and RNG for whatever bad rolls.

But what if the

Scroll of Identify you used was a bad one? Do you trust the scrolls from

Akara /

Drognan /

Ormus /

Jamella /

Malah enough? Or do you only use the found ones?

that is a serious accusation.

Playing D2 has always been a hodgepodge of superstistions and the weirdest habbist you could possibly imagine .....

Good loot can ONLY drop on Friday nights

You have to kill stuff in a certain order for best drops

Pindle was nerfed multiple times

Meph drops better loot if you kill him after diablo is dead

Uniques that you have equipped will never drop for that character again

......

You could write 10 books about these things and there would still be thousands more you never heard of

Yes, we D2 players are a effin' weird bunch.

i trust

Akara i know shes cool, we go way back.

Drognan hell no pretty sure he sells duped items on the side that disapear,

Ormus he's ok but a little to chatty for my like,

Jamella also cool, and I like

Malah but she smells like an old person, bengay and moth balls. never

Deckard Cain though. pretty sure he switches sojs with nagel rings when your not looking.

Love it ;d I'm sure I'll remember other superstitions later but for now I can share the only one popping in my head - I'd never go any other route than up first while doing Arcane - don't know why, don't ask me ;d

@suja.ths lol thats another one i do. expcept for me its right path.

Omg i love this thread, not much pops in my head right now except for i always choose left path in arcane.

I usually have a lot of superstitions about how improve my chances to get the items I'm farming, but not in D2, I just figured the RNG here is a big piece of shit that doesn't care anything of what you do.

Yeah, once I thought trading a HR with somebody magically increases your chances of getting one - I sold Titan's and like 5min later got an HR from a random box. Ever since then I've been getting trash all the time xd

Never look at something immediately after IDing it. Always ID it with a scroll from my

Belt and move it to the stash.

Never ID stuff in the game I found it. Always save+exit (if its a noteworthy item) and ID in the next game.

Never ID solo torches, only ID in batches of 3's.

Summoner is always the opposite direction of where I think.

I never gamble with

Gheed, he is a scammer.

Jamella or

Anya are ok.

more of a conspiracy. i believe there are loot tables. its why we keep getting the same damn item to drop over and over. saw a streamer that has had like 20 shakos drop. I know RNG is RNG but a loot table actually makes a little bit of sense.

I feel like I get "lucky" by filling my personal stash full of unid loot, then making a game and going trough everything piece by piece. Something to look forward to.

This is so weird because I do the exact same thing.

This actually has potential for being a feature.
