Good old days? You mean like Diablo 1? ~~D2 was online as well, except it stored your character files locally (so people could cheat their characters with a utility like Jamella).~~
I was mistaken. Still a long way to go back for an offline option, so it's probably a pipe dream in D4 and beyond.
I didn't mean that to sound as aggressive as it did, I apologize lol.
D2 could be played offline, I had a 28k connection when it released so I generally would just play it offline. I think regular Bnet was pretty good for not having cheaters but Open Bnet is where you could use your offline character and load him up with stuff using a trainer/program and play online.
Yeah, we played D1 and D2 multiplayer over LAN as a family. SO many good memories. My dad did hardcore on D2 Battle.net but always raged whenever our crappy Internet dropped.
Thanks for the correction. My memory is a little fuzzy. To be fair, we're still talking going back 23 years to even have an offline option.
At least in 3 you could choose to play solo which was way less laggy than this open world mess and most important of all you could fucking pause the game. Being in a nightmare dungeon with one of a throusand affixes that force you to move at all times or you die by some shit that's constantly chasing you and then the door bell rings is great. Just great.
