I would really want to know how many members "The Diablo II: Resurrected Team" currently has...
After a 20 year break from D2 I started playing D2R in 2024 with my sons (9 and 10 years old)
Time Zone: UTC/GMT +1/+2 (Germany)
Online workdays: casually from 07:00-09:00 pm
Online weekends: casually midday to evening
Non-Ladder | Softcore | Expansion
What a shame, not starting a new ladder char and will carry on with my usual characters. Was anticipating some new runewords so I could make my own non-ladder Mosaic, but I guess will just trade some at this point.
Do I level as Fire, swap to Cold for MF purposes, and then finally into Lightning once I have some stuff?
Lightning sorc needs Infinity also to break immunes, The reduction of enemy resistance due to equipment doesn't work on immunes, only after the immunity is broken. Without Infinity light sorc is the worst, but with Infinity becomes the best sorc. The best start sorceress is hydrorb, with option to respect to blizzard after killing Baal hell.

Sunder charm alone worked very well for me this season.

Always hated Blizzards way of resetting seasons in their games.
D2R (fortunately!) has one common server - divided into 3 regional realms and also separate consoles, but they are still interconnected - so, effectively, unlike in LoD, it's a global server. You cannot schedule a global release in a way that pleases everyone. By the very nature of time zones someone is going to get screwed.
The only "fair(ish)" option would be to rotate reset times each season so for each region the reset happens at the prime time every n seasons.
Indeed. Like Trang Oul says, if they set it at the evening for Europeans then the reset would be in the middle of the night in Asia (the biggest market, probably) instead. Or if it was in the European morning, it would be in the middle of the night for Americas. There’s no use complaining, with a shared world state, some region is always going to get the short end of the stick.
For the record, not all Americans are pleased with the evening resets anyway, since they only get a couple of hours before bedtime (reset is at 20.00 for US east coast), unless one pulls an all-nighter. At least, Europeans can wake up early Saturday morning and play throughout the entire day if they so choose without losing a whole night’s sleep, just a few hours from getting up earlier than usual. It’s not perfect for anyone. Well, maybe it is for Korea (9 or 10 o’clock morning start depending on season). Point is, it is what it is. If they completely separated the realms like in LoD, then they could stagger the reset time per region, but I don’t think separating the realms is better than what we have now.
