1.) Single player. What do I lose out on? I have heard some ubers and a few runes maybe but most of the time people say that they are not needed for single player.
2.) If I choose multiplayer to gain all these items can I get them out of ladder (excluding seasonal items)? I am not interested in trying to rush the game experience just to get end game quick so that I can attempt to acquire these items.
3.) Do the seasonal items move over to non ladder or just disappear after that season?
4.) If I play on a TCP/IP game does it register as single player or multiplayer?
5.) Lastly a more random question. I do prefer using D2SE and there is the last of a median Xl version around 2008 that was released where plugy could be used. I heard that this recent version won't allow it even on single player. Don't know if that is the case but if I had to go back to this version to use plugy what would be missing from it compared to the original? In other words would it even be worth playing the older version?
Thanks for the help!
I'll give u my take on it:
1. I started in SP a long time ago, but once I started playing on TSW I have never even thought of going back to SP. I like the laddering, being able to trade items (bought buy and sell). Playing with other people also makes it more fun in my opinion (:
For content I'm not quite sure what you would miss out on. I believe Samael only drop the charm in SP, but lab etc is still available. This season there are goblins that are exclusive to TSW aswell, but that's not really something u will see on either tsw or SP going forward. So item/content-wise u won't miss out on much.
2 & 3. When the season ends characters are moved over to non-ladder, so the items won't be lost. There are not that many people playing NL compared to ladder (alot less I dare say), but there should be some around I guess.
I think I recall reading that with the next season update (sigma 2.0) all characters, including NL, will be cleared since it will be a very large update. These large updates don't happen very often, but when sigma 1.0 launched the same thing happened if I remember correctly. Something to be aware about, eventhough the complete character wipes don't happen often at all.
4. I believe the TCP/IP uses your single player character but allowing u to connect to others. Might be the way to mule on SP, but I'm sure some other people know this in more detail than me. Last I played SP plugy was still around (:
5. Alot of things have changed, and I think the last version where plugy still worked was the patch prior to sigma 1.0 maybe? So quite alot of changes have been implemented since, though I can't really name too many of them at the top of my head but.. balance changes happen every new patch, some new areas like sam/labs have been introduced, aswell as some items and even engine-changes to the game if I remember correctly.
So to sum it up: I'd play the new version online, but that depends on how much you enjoy trading/interacting with others in game.
And, before someone else says it, next time post your question in short questions thread (;
Hope that helps and as a final suggestion I'd say try out the game (if u haven't already) to test some builds etc, then it will be more fun for u to join the ladder at reset!
