Ok, so I could have *sworn* it took far more than that, as I saw a chart somewhere posted that showed how many runs it would take. It turns out, getting to 99 is awful in classic post 1.10. In pre 1.07, it's worse than getting to 99 in LoD 1.10+, but still doable. In classic 1.10, Diablo only...

I think pretty much all classes are viable in 1.00-1.06, however, bowazon is much weaker in 1.00-1.03 due to a bug which prevents enhanced damage % from working on bows. So she's better in 1.04-1.06. In 1.07, the druid/assassin were quite weak, and melee was nerfed a bit but not too much, so...

Perhaps it's because of the places I hung around historically, but I actually have only ever heard the opposite. Just about everywhere you go there are at least a few veterans talking about how much better the 1.09 days were, and nearly everyone says 1.10 was a casters patch that created tons of...

Dang, it appears you're right. I just went back and carefully watched the Diablo 1 Alpha 0.4 video. We have hard evidence that it's fake. You can see this by looking at the life/mana globes once they are depleted. Notice how the home-made Alpha 4.21c has the smokey pattern on the orb, while...

I've had this happen to me before when playing on battle.net, even on 1.14d. I always thought it was just lag, but basically yeah you try to put an item in stash that swaps another item, and it weirdly chooses one in the corner instead. No idea how to reproduce, it's very rare.

Yep, there's just no way to balance charms no matter how hard you try. On paper they sound cool, but it just means an automatic power buff by sacrificing the whole point of your inventory and let's be real, everyone is going to fill it with as many charms as they can. So you either have to make...

Yep, best way to mule is LAN, especially for pre 1.10 patches, as programs like GoMule/ATMA either don't work/have bugs with older patches especially. And yeah, 1.08 was a very *very* short lived patch. While it did fix some of the most OP stuff from 1.07, the realm version of 1.08 suffered...

I agree, time based anything in single player is a huge issue, although maybe not as much on the realms. I wish they would have kept the deadly recipes and just disabled the time requirement. But then again, 1.07/1.08 had much better and more interesting crafting overall, they really screwed it...

yeah, no patches display the letter except 1.14. 1.09a/b/d all 1.09, 1.13/a/b/c/d all say 1.13 etc

Yeah but in practice all elemental arrows have no attack rating prior to 1.10 so it's mostly for strafe/multiple shot (guided always hits). In fact, I'm pretty sure the property "Target Defense %" is bugged everywhere so that it literally sets the target's defense to that % rather than...

It helps, but in general the sin/druid are just very underwhelming before 1.10. Granted, I've only ever played the sin in 1.07/1.08, but they aren't that much different from 1.09. The sin's elemental claws and traps just don't do very much damage, so she has no real area of effect and...

I think 1.09a & b are identical except for game.exe, but I haven't checked in a few years. Assassin is very weak in 1.07-1.09, her traps are a joke compared to 1.10. Bowazon is best in 1.09 whereas Javazon is best in 1.07, although crushing blow works at full force in 1.07 so bows can benefit...

Ok, I went through the entire channel and there's also one additional video for diablo 2 from 1998-1999, although that one is just screenshots. But more interesting is a video on a previously unknown alpha for diablo 1. This appears to be a few months before the pre-release demo from august...

All these videos are nice, but that last one especially as it gives an in depth look at the old UI/items as well as skill charts. I've scoured the internet over the years for beta content and never came across any of this, so this Everless person... they either archived this stuff from many...

cnc-ddraw won't work with Belzebub/Tcherno because they don't use DirectDraw or even DirectX at all, it uses OpenGL+SDL. For all intents and purposes, it is not a mod of Diablo but rather a reimplementation of the game from the ground up. You have to keep in mind as well the latest version of...

This is cool to see, apparently GoG recently added mods and have a selection for around 10 games or so. Belzebub/Tcherno is arguably the best way to experience d1 still to this day, although it does have some balance issues. @fearedbliss and I tried it out years ago on the old Xyinn network...

Another thing before I forget is that Nova is great in 1.09. It was simply far too weak pre 1.07 and when they changed lightning mastery to boost damage, it became better, but wasn't great until 1.08/1.09 buffed the damage. Then 1.10 ruined it again by not giving it synergies and amping monster...

I see these pop on up ebay from time to time, the original classic one is more rare than the LoD for some reason, despite both having 1k copies made. I can't bring myself to buy one though, they are cool collector's pieces I guess especially if you were the original tester, but they are...

Well and 1.09d was the longest lived version of 1.09, so there's that too. All the sub patches happened between september and december 2001, then it stalled at 1.09d for 2 years before 1.10 came out. I didn't play online at that time, so I'm not aware if CTC was broken online or possibly fixed...

Yep, I still think 1.09b is the better patch, and there is literally no reason for 1.09d to exist outside of server side changes blizzard made related to some battle.net issues, so I'm not sure why they broke CTC in the first place, maybe they were trying to silently fix a bug with it? I'd have...
