Online was fun when i had friends lol
This
Lol so true. 😂 I used to wait for friends to log on but after LOD old friends list went bye bye 👋.
Word
100%
Bots and dupes killed online for me. That's why private servers like pd2 are so much fun
On PC single player you can save your map for each difficulty by copying the map file into a different folder for your character.
You've finally convinced me. After losing my latest hardcore ladder character after three months' work, I've started an offline grail. Up and running this morning with the Infernal Cranium 😁.
Offline multiplayer would be great for those who game with family and friends but also would enjoy the different mods.
you can play online with your friends as well, while being able to sue some additional runewords.
Great breakdown there was some things that i didnt know. Single player and Multiplayer are awesome together due to you can jump onto another character if you dont like the terror zone from offline to online. tuning the difficulty not just for loot but pure fun of stronger monsters is also a bonus! Its just you against all of hells forces
Absolutely agreed! I've been trying online for a week now and the server inconsistency has been so jarring. I'd very much enjoy a tutorial on hero editor so I can recreate some of the characters I lost many computers ago. Keep up the great work!
Man, I've been working on a Majesty playthrough, and your avatar definitely threw me for a loop. Didn't expect to see a Warrior of Discord here!

great Vid Phil, well thought out and executed - I have previously played D2 for online and got bored of it and went away from the game for quite some time. Came back recently and now play SP offline exclusively - and am Slayin It! (well sort of, level 89 atm-Dad bod and work long hours.......) anyhow, the game feels much more enjoyable to me as I work to gear my main (NovaSorc) and several alts (Including the XbowSorc you inspired me to try out-level52 atm)......each time I find a piece of BiS gear it is super exciting - I just hit Mephy 2 days ago for my first SP Arachnid Mesh and I ran around the house like a chicken with it head cut off (Wife thinks I am whacked), anyhow moments like that really make me feel like the hours and effort I put into Toons pay off.....thanks as always Phil - YOU ROCK!
I've played countless hours online starting back in the old days of D2 LOD. I thought I enjoyed the game. I still enjoy playing online, don't get me wrong; but I will never forget the experience of getting my first SoJ in an offline account. The high of getting your GG item after hours of planning and grinding, is worth the payoff.
hell yeah man, soj was my 2nd big project after I did a lot of countess runs, it was so exciting when I finally got it after so many andy runs
That's awsome :D The dopamine hit is so big when that happens!
I remember getting a SoJ in A1 in early ladder once. You generally don't get that in other ARPGs. The excitement of being able to get such high tier items early on makes D2 so much fun. I wish they'd remake 2 and add more content to it. What I mean by remake is update the engine 1:1 with modern fixes, and not go D3-4 route. That'd make long time fans so happy. Worth dreaming? Haha
Just curious, what would the "hours of planning" have been?
@@delorne2776maybe he respecced to a fire sorc and found a good map layout?
Dropped for me while lvling
Offline Hardcore is where it's at
I started to play D2R in SP too because I asked myself ,why am I playing MP if i hadnt played with other players together for such a long time ^^ I was playing D2R Online but alone...so since then I am enjoying the game in SP mode.
Without a single player you really don't own the game you paid for. You can't mod it, you can't play it how you want, and when they shutdown servers, you will loose the game you paid for. Single player is the only place where I can feel that I can do what I want with what I paid for.
They should still be making games with LAN support. Support GOG, support dev's that still give you true choice.
Ya just don’t lose your hard drive and you’re good. Switched from ps4 to ps5 and lost my 98% grail progress 😂
Well the original D2 is the best because you can still enjoy multiplayer through LAN. You get the full experience
I mean you arent going to change peoples minds. People are still going to play PvP, rushing, co-op. Terror zones is more fun with 8 players. Trading is fun. And just playing with other people makes it more fun for me. Play solo feels like a empty game.
@@hecatomb1864 I didn't say they cant play PvP and so on. I said Single-Player needs to be option. Option means you can choose it if you want to or not if you don't want to. Right now online mode is not an option - everyone has to choose it. My idea was that those who want to choose single player can choose single player and those who want multiplayer can still choose multiplayer.
You can “trade” offline with a hero editor.
Look online for the price something is going, give yourself the item you want and delete the one you don’t.
Trading without the hassle.
On diablo if you boot game as administrator. Vs not as administrator you will get a separate offline saved game folder so make sure you stay in same one.
I'm glad you mentioned point 5, loot donations, on your pro-online list
I do this often and have given many a new player an occulus
Thank you! I was just given an occy and shake from a random person my second day back playing, I was so stoked
Hero Editor (an older one that wasnt as nice as this one) is what i used to start my grail. I took my old broke af, poorly geared level 74 ladder sorc and remade her identically in hero editor and ported it over into singleplayer to start my grail. I didnt transfer any of my gold (that was a huge mistake lol) or anything from my merc (kinda stupid) but at the same time it made my start feel more legit because i was on the back foot.
You make it very appealing to want to play SP for sure! The reason D2 is so great is that there are all these game mode options to fit a person's style. I only play NL. I'm not trying to compete on Ladder and not sleep. I like being able to trade when needed. I like being able to play with the homies when I can. I like being able to hook friends up or giving away items. Down sides: No players count settings, and no ladder only rune words.
Yes smalps! Social fun, give aways, helping new players, making new friends, learning from others! Trading trading trading! Online is defo better imho.
the best feeling is buying 10x mal ist ohm runes and roll a 6/6/4 cta to then sell it on JSP for 1k fgs
@@RetroGameThrowdown1 Lol... " jsp " who gives a crap about some cringe little forum and their cringe forum gold lmao.
Continue farming hours to get crap items then. Ill roll 3 ctas and 4 hotos today. I also have 4 stashes of unid hell farmed items for only 90 fgs for saleé Only 90 fgs each!@@xzxxx-km4vy
I love SP, but sometimes it is hard giving up trading. With RNG you could have made a HOTO before getting magefists or have an Enigma before finding a Shako.
Very informative and I love the commentary. Subscribed!
I 100% agree with the concept of infinite players on SP. I myself am doing a grail and I stash all my finds. If not for that fact I wouldnt be able to. Im ok with not trading and being limited on how long it takes to grind out super end game gg gear.
Agreed, I have always had a better experience playing single player offline over online.
My main (maybe only) reason i enjoy online is for trading.
One thing you didnt include as a single player benefit. There is nothing worse than grinding online and seeing something like a Jah rune drop and someone else in the game beats you to it. I have horrible luck finding stuff to begin with but I have vision issues as well which cause it to take a second before I see stuff like that. Takes a moment for it to register for me before I even start to scroll over and click on it. So I will never win the race to get a top tier item that drops in a groun game. Dont have to worry about that in single player. I can go anyware and clear a whole screen of stuff and then check the drops without any worry about missing something cuz someone else beat me to it.
also added perk of offline, is you can hero edit characters with socket quests so you dont have to constantly relevel a new character every time you need a socket
I used to play LoD offline and, occasionally, online with my buddies via TCP/IP. bc they removed that mode, I came back to online play.
Ok I actually love this video. Can I get a suggestion as to what character I should make first? I’m sure a sorceress of some kind?
single player is so satisfying, that first Um rune I found made me feel just as much as finding a Ber online, because the *only* way I could get that Um was finding one myself - and stuff like Ohm or Death's Fathom was on a whole other level
Um is a very common rune. You all just fooling yourselves when using the /players x command and using infinite amount of stash tabs. People online are playing the game the real way, most getting the most rare drops on P1 and no infinite stash tabs, you people are just casuals its better to say it that way than saying single player is better. I too play single player but i can admit that only casuals that want an easy mode play single player
@@xzxxx-km4vy I play unmodded, and you can easily find mf games to kill stuff on higher difficulty online
@@87539319 Except online is a constant fight for loot, that's another layer of difficulty. I play single player with the /players x but i know that if i was online i would have to do it all on players 1 unless i feel like competing for loot and see who can click faster on that Jah or Ber rune, definitely not for me. And the fact you can't even stack gems and runes online is even more torture. Playing online is much harder
@@xzxxx-km4vyplaying online literally enables power leveling and rushing yet you call sp easy mode? ok.
@@ryanzurawskii Playing online forces you to limited stash size, forces you to players 1 loot, forces you to compete for loot if you want to increse the odds, doesnt allow for infinite respecs etc
I tried playing online , and it felt a little laggy , hits werent regustering when i pressed buttons.
I went offline and it felt completely different.
Maybe different servers on console vs pc.
But i play it on ps5 offline only and i have a blast so far.
Also, this "here editor' can that work on console? Or is this only pc?
really would love to have diablo 2 ress on my pc..maybe one day!
Heck yeah. That's the only way I play D2 now. I do Terror andy runs and got a 1% away from perfect fathom. Was an amazing find.
The disciple is my favorite set. It's so good for for melee builds it's bonkers. Plus you can whatever helmet weapon and or shield that you want.
I'd so much to create a replica of my online characters in offline, but no matter what Editor I use to make a copy, the game simply crashes once I add the save file. I can't even get to the character selection screen.
Whilst i agree, theirs something about finding items online. Not runes, items. Like the 2os white worthy wand i found with +3BSpirit +3BSpear. Or the -1 perf def shako and SOJ on 2nd day of restart i once found.
Yes thats nice in single players on players 3/5/7 but man when you do it online, its such a rush.
I want to get back into D2 but i dont have the time like i used to so I might look into D2R offline + mods... looks like there are mods for boosting drop rates and xp gain so that would be fun
Do you usually use any mods that you presented when playing offline?
I recently started learning how to modify the game to essentially create my own "mod" kind of, and it only works on Single Player naturally, but I don't mind to be honest, usually when I play even if its online I play by myself 99% of the time, so now I'm having a blast in my own modded Single Player game, my mod supports more weapons for the Hirelings, loads of new different item affixes that can spawn, and a complete overhaul of all items to my liking :) Almost all Unique items got either buffed stats and/or completely new and interesting procs and abilities :) and I made all those crappy set item sets much better! I even buffed blue magic Items so that they potentially can roll with some useful stats and skills, completely changed how I play the game 😊
From the start I've always played online. It just doesn't feel the same without jolly cooperation. It does suck when you're wanting to play your NL characters and there's no one else around because you lose out on the player setting ability. Even in TZs, the xp gain is abysmal in the 90s.
The reason you keep finding tals armor is because your on the same seed doing the same movements. People have found doing very specific patterns you can make HRs drop every lk chest pop. I’ve noticed it also applies to monsters. Somthing like popping a chest or coming from a different way point can change the drops but if you do it just right every time the same drops will drop every time
I was told there’s certain runewords that only work on ladder and not single player, is this still the case?
They work on single player. That was only on lod. As long as ur game is updated with the current patch it will have everything that online has
I wish that there was a way to play open battlenet, like back in the days, is there any options for that ?
yep same, my only concern is not being able to play with some real life buddies every now and then
5 weeks in d2r again and still haven’t found tal armor thanks for slapping me virtually 😂
Back in the original D2, I always played ladder just so I could trade to get my characters geared, but with D2R, I've been playing SP and can't go back. I don't really enjoy the clean slate of a new ladder and having to bang my head against the wall to get the good drops all over again.
Offline is the only way to go really. Leveling new characters is easy, i literally have a separate sorc for each of the boss with perfected maps. Also to mention the unlimited character creation as storage. Offline presents a chalenge of its own and makes the game much more interesting as playing an "iron man" mode.
I really enjoy single player. I tried it a few times over the years but never really got into it. Once D2R came out, Sweet Phil inspired me to try it again, and I fell in love all over(shared stash was huge for that). I doubt I'll ever finish it, but I'm working on that Holy Grail
shared stash made offline a breath of fresh air. That's why the plugy mod was so huge for LoD. infinite stash made holy grails easy to do.
I started playing online because I was hoping to play with my brother, because I don't have any friends. Unfortunately he doesn't have time to game anymore. I was playing solo online and never checked the lobby browser. I decided to check the lobby browser and seen people giving away free loot and I was amazed at all these cool things they dropped that I could never find back in the day, Titan's Revenge, Oculus, Tal's set, etc. This one cool dude gave me all his hammerdin gear and I had a blast destroying everything.
Fun little tidbit about Offline Difficulty Scaling, Players 7 is nearly identical to Players 8, which then means if your having too much trouble with the highest, you CAN tone it done a notch without screwing with drop rates.
Make sure to backup your characters every once in a while. I had a power cut & my character file was corrupt & lost everything. It was my first SP character. It was a painful lesson
Same here, and I almost had my Enigma at the time
On diablo single player you can delete the map0 file if you do want to change the map. Sometimes you don’t want the same map
Frankly, for someone like me that likes collecting things in games, the very existence of Gomule means I'm playing offline exclusively. The complete lack of any lag, the static maps and the /players x command sure don't hurt either.
wild that hero editor is online now lol. I still remember downloading some program that likely gave my computer a virus but it worked
Wait, you can use hero editor on online characters?
it's like offline I already have enigma but the saddest thing is online even with like 10+ level 80+ characters I can't find one ber, my highest was a sur lol permanent maps help a lot
but @sweetphil do you have a link to that hero editor and does it only work for D2R or will it work for older versions like 1.14 ?
I would love to see more about the hero editor. I love D2 but didn't know hero editor existed.
the best selling point : you don't have to grind your ass off making shael io tal runewords, you can do it directly with hero editor xD
How you deal with Hell immunities offline? There are a very few build that can damage everything.
Shatter Charms or avoid them
Always played D2 by myself since it first came out back in the day. My friends weren’t addicted to it like I was so they usually just held me back.
Question: But there is no Anni or Torch in the single-Player offline game or?
Just finished my gearup javazon on Ladder... but now after this video i'll start my first character in OFFLINE, and for sure start with sorc to farm mephi... see yea back in 15 years
Which hero editor is this?
I only play Single Player offline for the following reasons:
1. You can run any terror zone as much as you like
2. You don't have to search for high player number games
3. You don't have to be afraid of players leaving as soon as you joined (like in Baal runs for example)
3. You don't have to fight over the loot with other players
4. You don't have to hear "it's my zone GTFO" or from hostile players
5. No more map reloading everytime
6. AND OFC.....Lower Kurast CHESTS!
And in line with #6, you can set a seed in sp.
LK rules!! Got 2 Sur runes in less than 10 min
You should have stated with LK chests. Hahaha
I play D2R mostly on switch and strictly single player. I'm able to play diablo 2 anywhere
Sure a guide would be great (hero editor). Any chance blizz dislikes that we play with those files?
Where to find info about set items, rune words etc for D2R offline? any webside?
If you have Android, the Tome of D2 app is decent. I don't love the layout, but it lets me look stuff up on my phone, so I don't have to mess about with opening and closing my Diablo window on my laptop.
back in the day mostly was just pvp on europe and asia but now just do casual play and only single player while doing the grail
You can set your seed so all maps stay the same but you got too memorise the map layouts as it wont show you but the map will reset too the same map layouts
When do we get an offline or online local Coop Mode.
Want to Run around with my Brother, drinking a Beer and talking about Life while slaying...
It is Not hard at all. Splitscreen, two in one Screen, whatever...
I'm full SP for more than a year and I still enjoy it tremendously. Best gaming fun I had in a long time.
Yupp me2.. Got a lvl 98 sin with infinity and enigma plus other stuff.. Took me more then a year to grind thoose stuff but man the highs u get gettin a hr in sp is unbeatable
Can hero editor be used for console?
hi wich version or patch has to have the game for offline terrorized zones?
i think was added in 1.9
The only flaw that I can think of with D2 resurrected is that check-in DRM that they got implemented in the damn thing. If I could find a reliable way to remove that Check-in DRM permanently then offline D2R would be absolutely perfect.
I'm baffled that in current year, Blizzard don't have a system in place to sync your Offline characters, that was the main reason I considering creating an Online characters even though I just wanted to play alone.
I was able to transfer my plugy characters over! Hadn’t seen them in a few years. Salvaged my 94 sorc. Everything is legit found! Grinded many high runes so I’m decked out. Been playing it again. Miss the good old days playing hardcore ladder with that whole community. Great times
I play both :D online for pvp mostly though. SP is kinda cool when you find rare stuff. The other day I found a Jah rune in single player, which is what I needed to finish up Enigma. It's much more rewarding to find that in SP than online
Really miss that old school hamachi play with eastern sun.
After a week of playing off line without an internet connection the game and wont let me open the screen unless I get an internet connection again. It has happened every time. About 15 times so far
I've been playing solo since release, and I just got my first Anny and Torch ever. Holy fuck it felt good
I genuinely had to laugh at this. I've spent days now doing terror zones, trying to find Tal's armor. That's all I need to complete the set, and it won't drop.
tal's is hard to chase down! maybe try baal runs? one baal kill is worth 20 kills of tc87 uniques for tal's armor
Hell Meph drops it often 4 me.
i’ve found 3 ber yet no tals ammy
@@djinn_tseng damnnn I've found full tals 3-4 times over but for HRs I've found 3 sur 1 ohm 1 vex, so I'm jealous!
@@djinn_tseng its always that one item you really need that wont drop. On my offline I have infinity, grief, hoto, cta, soj's but i cant hit the one item i need - arachs. Guess same is for you with tal's. Got 4 tal's btw >< good luck on yours
Let’s not forget LAN PARTIES. You get to play your single player offline toons with friends. I’ve got a small group of peeps and we do just that. Sucks they took it out of d2r but it works with vanilla and pd2.
A friendly reminder not to forget to do a backup of your "SAVE" files or use something that does it for you, otherwise if "something goes wrong" the save files could corrupt and you can loose everything, happened to me recently. Ladder Reset Single Player - here we go! :D
I thought Blizzard's server backs up the single player saves as well. It doesn't?
@@theseek7278 Not really, they are stored locally in your C:\Users\Username\Saved Games\Diablo II Resurrected folder ; but they can get corrupt (on a PC unexpected shutdown or smth) as it happened with mine, so you'd prolly be better backing that up somewhere! :)
@@TopSecretGG Oh okay thanks! I'm currently playing on the original game but I'll keep that in mind.
I was wondering whether Griffon's eye drops in offline mode?
Is there a way to transfer my plugy stash to any form of d2r stash?
Most annoying thing is I play online single player so my characters can sync with my other platforms. But it means I can't do /players8
Playing D2 resurrected in offline with a Java (first char).
In about a week Im now on hell act V on my way to the ancients.
Cleared it all solo with patience. Hoghest runes I found are 1 pul 1 Um 1 Mal, so no good runewords so far.
Been playing D2 for 20 years helped me 🙂
Hero Editor video guide please😄!
I miss LAN. Having your own offline characters and being able to play together in an non-internet setting is great. This always offline style is bad because of server lags etc.
for me there is only 1 benefit to online and it is the chat gem
😆
For console players, we have a limited number of character both on or off line. It's only the PC version do we get unlimited offline characters. The worst part of playing offline on console, is that you can't use any mods or make any trades. However their is a way to dupe anything and or reroll charms or runewords infinitely on console.
He literally says that in the video lol he said “on PC specifically you have unlimited characters in offline”
#4 - haha - Low key grilling all those people that race to 99. Love you, phil!
Thanks for another great video!
Single player is great if you can handle the temptation to become overpowered instantly. And if you can't - playing an edited character kills all the fun of finding gear... I lost my insterest in single player right after I asked myself why spend so much time on leveling up when there is this nice hero editor here))
My game crashed I was playing online but single player but I was also doing hardcore and due to the crash I lost my level 80 character, since then for hardcore I go offline to be safe
I've always wanted to try out offline. I'm just not knowledgeable when it comes to mods. I'm just scared of downloading a mod, and accidentally loading up an online game a few months later.
Pre expansion is where it's at. I think runewords ruined the game a bit.
Found a steelclash shield last night and I was smiling for hours....
Smiling for a steelclash?
@@protodg6567 pretty godly shield for my 50 paly
It didn't ruin solo play if you don't use them. Doing a non-runword run right now with Zeal Paladin and I'm having a blast.
1.09 was the best, expansion without runewords
can we connect two accounts to play together with out battlenet
Huh. Yeah I haven't thought about using a cure helm for an Andy farmer. I'm taking that 😂
What is point of playing the game after getting everything you need from hero editor 🤨
Can I make the runeword mosaic offline single player? I didn't understand please help 😭
Yes, you can.
By the way, in Offline (Single player) there are some ways to use special -seed# to find Ohm runes or Mal, on which it would be easier, and then they can be transmuted for Higher Runes
explain i've never heard of this
@@benphillips2751 czcams.com/video/HstDLZX1iQc/video.html
I played D2 online back in the day but found it to be a terrible experience. I tend to stay away from co-op online play because people are idiots these days and playing offline gets more done without having to worry about some idiots holding you up from moving on.
Single player has a lot of benefits to it but playing with friends is just more fun to me. I do play both tho. There will come a point in single player when uve pretty much done everything maxed out all ur builds and then there will be nothing to do. Online u still have pvp
This is why i love d2 tho. No internet needed to play. And if u do play online u can give any item u want to ur friends unlike in d4 where a lot of items are account bound
The original.. o line AND offline character being the same character was awesome.
i agreed with all, when you start your own holy grail its the best way to enjoy this game and come to your limit ;)
