Blizzard has always said that "expansion is the end of the whole" in its works, such as "the battle of the mother nest", and the "Frozen Throne", which has pushed the "Warcraft" brand to the top of popularity, all of which have made the original excellent "Starcraft" and "Warcraft 3" once again glow with amazing game potential and vitality, which were released on June 27, 2001 (in North America) "Diablo II: The King of Destruction" is also a typical example.
When the popular Diablo 2 (hereinafter referred to as D2) came into the market in 2000, the resolution of 640 × 480 (the resolution of the initial version is not adjustable) was complained by some people. In all aspects, this work showed a cross era temperament, with five different professions, skill tree systems Endless combination of equipment fields... These are the advantages of the game content. Apart from the game, this work is the successor of the basic model of ARPG from the perspective of "Dark Wind", the interface of "Red Ball+Blue Ball" and the equipment affix system have also become more popular since this work. Blizzard does not know how many future game makers have been fed by these ideas.
Finally, 800 × 600 resolution is supported
Even though D2 itself is excellent enough, it is not enough for Blizzard. The official expansion "Lord of Destruction", which was created by Blizzard North itself (the former expansion "Hell Fire" was produced by Concorde Software), went on sale about a year after the original release, pushing D2's content and playability to another peak.
Two new roles with distinctive characteristics
The two new classes, Assassin and Druid, have very different playing methods from the original characters. The gas gathering system of the Assassin is obviously the source of the bandit combo point in World of Warcraft. Although the Druid who can manipulate the power of elements and has the ability to transform is generally considered to be the weakest of the seven classes, he has to admit that his skills are still interesting. The changes coming with the new characters also include the new scene of the fifth act, "Holy Mountain of Arete", the new big BOSS Bar, the amulet system, and hundreds of new formulas of the Heradic treasure box. Of course, there are also new affixes and equipment. The resolution of the criticized image can finally be adjusted to 800 × 600.
New mercenary equipment system
Amulets with different shapes
The "King of Destruction" to D2 means the overall evolution of the game content and fun. Many shortcomings complained by players have been improved, such as the direct doubling of the storage box capacity, powerful professional exclusive suits, etc. The pseudo random LOOT with excellent game content has formed a very attractive game atmosphere, It is not uncommon for countless players to keep their interest in D2 for many years with the help of Battle. net.
The plot of Barr's invasion of Halogas is fully displayed with high-quality CG
Many players who do not know the fun of the "Diablo" series often get the simple and rude "brush brush" answer from loyal fans when they ask questions such as "what does Diablo play?" From an outsider's perspective, it may be a bit dull, but as long as you go deep into it, you can experience the magic of "endless combination", and the innovation The unremitting pursuit of details has jointly built the enduring foundation of the "King of Destruction".
