D2R Holidays Event

I expected tombs and flayers.
Also Durance of Hate is trash.

With so many Terror Zones it might be worth using the souls mf easter egg

Unfortunately, Trav. is not included.

I was thinking the same, also, is tristam really a good place to farm ? i was thinking low monster density, but i might be wrong

Tristram is pretty terrible.

Small area, many elite pack, take time to find it.
Not worth farming it alone but if you farm cow it worth spend 20 sec to clear the area.

okay, then it was as i expected, i was jus afraid i might had missed a hidden treasure hehe.

But is a very interesting idea having many TZs.
Lets say we are looking for those unique items that have 2 options per base (

Sacred Armor,

Mighty Scepter,

Thunder Maul,

Legendary Mallet,

Scourge and so on). If you go to a TZ and find the other item you want, you could keep farming the other TZs hoping to drop the other unique, which now is guaranteed

Yea.. Agreed with

Tristram being bad. Not sure how they could think that's a "popular" zone. Maybe they mixed it up with

Travincal by accident? Or they just really don't have a clue.

yeah, i dont see how they thought

Tristram beeing more popular than

Travincal, iv'e never seen a farming video from tristam XD

There's a possibility that they looked at the overall frequency of each map being visited, and simply picked the top ones.
Since many people run Cows, and a lot people run

Mephisto to gear up at the beginning, those zones such as

Tristram and Durance appeared to be "popular".

If this is really how they went about this event, the disconnect between the developers and the players is even greater than I thought. On a much more positive note, this year’s events are super cool and I enjoy every minute of them

Agreed. I’m really happy with this years events. Every single one has had a special flavor and this year has been a major upgrade from last’s. Im hoping it’s a good sign for additional content in upcoming seasons

As far as

Tristram, I like to think they added it as a friendly courtesy to folks running tz cows. I’ve always thought they should be paired anyway bc

Tristram alone is a poor tz. I often spend more time getting there then clearing it… Sadly I can’t play today. I’d love to run Catacombs all day but instead I’m checking forums when I can and playing vicariously. I hope you all get to strike another check on your grails today.

since technically is possible to have more than one active TZs, that could be a interesting feature for next year to have 2 or who knows 3 always active TZs and keep the hourly rotation for next 3.

With this today's multiple TZs I'm sad they didn't implement it to single player, too.

What a pity that Stony Tomb is NOT on this long list...

Dec 31 event is firework-like spells being randomly casted when struck.

Not much practical use, but it's a nice touch for the occasion.

Can anyone make a screenshot for the away from PC ones? Thanks !

Will this do? You will see a good half dozen skills going off my Paladin doesn't have.

Note: Before watching set the screen res to HD.
