@BillyMaysed for 22, is the "hold F and scroll" confirmed somewhere as available at launch?

Blizzard wrote:

Another D2R Pro Tip: On PC, you can set your zoom level by holding the "F" key and scrolling the mouse wheel in and out. Once set, when you tap F then you will toggle between the default view and your new zoom setting. #Diablo2Resurrected

Blizzard wrote:

Yeah, that's something we're discussing for post launch as a potential solution.

@BillyMaysed I'm sure I've missed it somewhere, but I couldn't find info for number 12 for multiplayer. I.e do we summon

Diablo Clone the same as in old D2?

Blizzard wrote:

SP is 1 SOJ.

Bnet is the same range as prior which was around ~75~120

EDIT: I should note that these values are not approximate and can change in the future.

@BillyMaysed That's going to be interesting if their advances in protection against bots have actually borne fruit.

BillyMaysed wrote: 3 years ago

@Tavron I'm actually more concerned than interested. If we still have to spawn Dclone with SOJ's.... even with a gigantic playerbase who is going to sell their super rare SOJ to a vendor? and en mass? lol. The entire system was implemented because of rampant dupes.

The drop chance for a SOJ is 1:3813 from NM Andy. So approx 1 every Four Thousand Andy runs. Even with 300 MF its still 1:1616

Almost 4 times as rare as a

Harlequin Crest "Shako".

Duping will return. D3 had it and so will this. Give it a month or less.

We gotta Stick to password online rooms or single player

Or maybe Blizzard will surprise us and actually drop the

Blessed Hammer on the bots and cheaters. Unlikely, but one can hope

In other words: are there Uniques that one can access in Non-Ladder Multi but NOT in SP?

ArthurDent wrote: 3 years ago

So to be certain: Anni and Torch are the only used-to-be Ladder Only Uniques then?
