I have to say it; D2 Resurrected SUCKS! ?
the game was perfect until they tried to "fix" it
typical modern blizzard, everything they touch turns into poop

i played D2 every single day since 2001 and was fully addicted to that game!
and then Resurrected came out and they broke the PvP...?
Both the Player Vs Player and Player Vs Monster aspects had a interdependent relationship
PvM being the "supply" & PvP being the "demand"
so without PvP there is really no point in playing the game at all..
oh and its riddled with bots so nothing has value anymore.

Yes D2R looks great thanks to Vicarious Visions
but the game itself is absolute ? thanks to Blizzard

Honestly (and no offence) if you think D2R is a good game then you never actually knew the real D2.
OR you're Blizzards target audience & a legit "casual dad gamer" who only plays 10 minutes of video games per week and thinks D2R is great XD

the original D2 is still available and runs on the old battle.net
its dead now but i still log into the old servers occasionally and reminisce at what was once so beautiful & dear to me

I dunno, I think both playstyles are perfectly valid. I've never PvP'd in D2 and not many of my friends did either. Did Resurrected remove it or something? I tried googling it but it says Resurrected has PvP too so I'm curious.

Or do you mean that the release of Resurrected killed PvP in the classic game? If so, I understand your frustration.

I still think the first game is the best. 2 is good too, but 1 has a sense of progression the other games don't have. Every new floor feels earned and you actually learn every enemy type. I think my problem with modern diablo clones is that they simply fill the screen with enemies since the first map and you don't actual feel like you are progressing, everything blends together and it becomes simply numbers growing. but idk tbh

I'm somewhat in the same boat.
I love D2, but I've never liked the "grind endlessly through difficulties for all time" thing. I like going through the campaign and testing different builds, and D1 is similar to that playstyle since the numbercrunching and minmaxing isn't as big a part.

I know this isn't the "intended" way to play D2 or whatever but it's always worked for me :)

Yeah, screw it if they ballooned the size of the game with unoptimized textures.
