There are one or two exceptions like the Butcher’s Cleaver and Wirt’s Leg, the only legendary, but that’s really it. Instead, the Diablo 1 items that do appear are garbage blues that use existing skins from D3 items when you wear them, even if the internal art is pulled from D1. Like, it prevents you from blowing through it (as I did on Torment X with my 1.7M DPS Demon Hunter in about twelve minutes), but that’s about it.Ī cool implementation of this concept might have been that you want to farm this Labyrinth for a bunch of new legendary items pulled from Diablo 1. The idea of a “fresh start” for this Diablo 1 content sounds good in theory, but I really don’t think it added much to it given that you just end with a level 20-25 character decked out in terrible gear. Yes, I could have upped the difficultly more but I didn’t feel like making it even more of a slog, because it’s already sort of lame to only have like 8 of a zillion skills unlocked, and maybe 1 out of 5 runes if you’re lucky. I beat the first playthrough with my fresh Barbarian on Normal in about an hour. But with that said, I don’t understand why it was designed the way it was, nor what the purpose is other than a few fleeting hits of nostalgia.
I will say up front that I respect the amount of work whatever’s left of the Diablo team put into this event.
After playing through the new area in full twice, once with a level 1 character as recommended, once with my godlike, min-maxed Demon Hunter, I still just…don’t really get it, as I said yesterday.
