[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightHarvester:
I am bringing this thread back from the dephs of hell as Diablo himself has heard of this new mobile world we all now live in. He is excited to get out and burn the eyes out of all those happy go lucky ignorant people on their iPhones as they go aboht their daily business.

BUT, we have a problem. Actually a few problems.

First off. When we speak of wanting Diablo on our devices, no one cares about running around playing Diablo on their PSX emulator. When you watch a porn, you want to get to the moneyshot. In this case, we are referring to the Diablo II: Lords of Destruction expansion. Just getting it running on your device doesn't even cut it. Diablo II is about multiplayer specifically, hardcore mode multiplayer. Well for me at least. Any other mode was downright boring.

So along with the game, we would need dedicated servers up and running and maintained. Have fun.

The more realistic option and the one I would expect would earn a nice little profit would be for Blizzard to port the game over for Android (iOS too I guess *cuts eyes*), sell it in the Play Store for a REAL price so the game can remain true to heart and not have players able to buy elite uniques through iAPs, and profit. Or just charge a small monthly fee for server costs.

Any Android device worth it's weight can easily handle Diablo II. If they wanted to they could proceed with Diablo III as ell but that's another story. Diablo II has two graphic API's, and one of them happened to be OpenGL. My ancient computer that had like a 500Mhz or something CPU with no dedicated GPU ran the game just fine.

Now while Blizzard is posting D2 over, optimize the controls some since we are using touchscreens. Some games can be a chore to optimize the controls on, but D2 could he played perfectly on a touchscreen. Why stop there? Ramp the graphic quality up to match D3 and we're in business. Charge $25 for the game outright with no iAP or charge me $3± a month to play it.

The very second ajy in app purchase enters the game though, it's dead. And they'd better also give us the optioned to use the map hack we all loved :) It's nice to speed level and avoiding chain lightening mini bosses at lvl 5 or so while trying to get to barbarian outskirts where you can hide out and profit experience from your friends kills is very handy.

And anyone mentioning Dungeon Hunter x series as a replacement has never known the joy of having a lvl99± hard core magic find character and a lvl99± hard core pker. I played Dungeon Hunter..5? Well whichever one it was....while enjoyable was no Diablo II. And fighting others who just bought their getups with real money ...wow.

When MissyEscobar came out to play, many pissed players I'm sure tossed their mice against the walls after tasting a Pierce shot or a chain lightening javelin toss. Having cats eye amulet, best of all zon uniques and an inventory full of small speed charms helped a lot too..eventually got mine at the hands of a pally, of whom I was trying to loot his runeword set. Forget which one. I easily avoided him and he had NO chance at even getting close enough ever to harm me, but even with my gear I wasn't hurting him through his godly pally getup. I had to go with my javelins which meant I had to get close for the kill. Switched weapns, and kept circling him waiting for my moment and judging distances so I wouldn't get amitwd to death. Wasn't too good at judging distances that day. Right as I ran in and was ready to fire away all it seemed like he did was walk up to me and touch me and ...well...MissyEscobar was dead, and this guy came out very wealthy looting me. It was actually the smite that got me. I had gotten too cocky with her with all my kills and accounts full of mules just for ears.

See, that is Diablo II. I worked VERY HARD AND LONG hours with my magic finding sorceror (sometimes barbarian but mainly had one word I used) to get the elite gear/runes/etc for all my characters. In the blink of an eye I died and lost all the beat items an amazon could have. Sure, I had mule accounts for all my other gear and such, but that's the thrill. Whoever mentioned Dungeon Hunter series needs a spanning by Baal.

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead...lol..but I'm passionate when it comes to D2. And if anyone here played D2 hardcore there is a very good chance you met Missy Escobar.

Blizzard...BRING US DIABLO MOBILE
