D2 Years Later (Diablo 2)
Not so long ago, I was again swept by a wave of battles against evil and the salvation of the world of the sanctuary. After many years, I went through this game again (and not in one Persian). It was very interesting to fight shoulder to shoulder with comrades in the battlenet for peace and freedom and to eradicate evil spirits. We've been farming, collecting sets and creating powerful rune-worn armor. Having defeated Diablo, his relatives and henchmen, the question arose, what next?After reading the forum a little, I was surprised that people farm the same location for hours, days, weeks. And actually, the question is, why? Why dress up and get things like anihilus (or whatever)? Is there any result other than "I have achieved this, I am a fine fellow / nerd".
Using the example of another game, for example la2, they farm ammunition to capture castles and territory, and then hold them. Or to get the title of the strongest - a hero. 90% of PVP had a meaning, apart from "who is cooler" - they mostly fought for dominance in a particular area of ​​the game.
So what is diablo2 farming for in 2021?

Defeat him one more time.

Well, first of all, you did not understand my message, although it was obvious. Each self-respecting "chess player" has his own goal, and basically it is the achievement of some kind of status / title, etc.

So that later, due to a lack of skill, patience or for other reasons, leave prof. sports and while away the time in chesse or somewhere else. 99% of them face this fate.
Secondly, unfortunately, you are right, most end up "deplorable". BUT! They (whom I am talking about) had a goal and they strove for it, And only a few become winners.
Hence the question. What specific goal are you trying to achieve in Diablo2?
You are confusing play and sport.
The goals of the chess players that you write about are sports.
And your questions about q2 are more like a philosophical search for the meaning of life (hint: it doesn't exist).
Of course, in d2, some also go in for sports, there are some pvp ladders, but this is by no means the goal of the game, but only one of the pastime options.

I never understood that either. But everyone has their own goals, q2 has nothing to do with it. There are nerds in real life too - who get 5 jobs for 20 hours a day, seven days a week, so that they can "live well afterwards." Their analogue in d2 is mf-drochers. Both those and those equally do not understand that their "preparation for a good life" is likely to end simultaneously with this very life (which never became good).
I disagree. Basically, these people achieve what they dreamed of. Whether it is a good gift for your beloved or an opportunity to give your beloved child a decent education. And I personally understand their goals.
But why kill poor zombies in the dungeon for days? -_-
Here is a good example for you: they threw you some thread of a high tower (very high), you fly down. On the way you try to entertain yourself somehow, so that it would not be completely boring. Well, he can be distracted by the inevitable thoughts of what will happen when you arrive. Would it be wise to look for the meaning and purpose of your flight? Well, as a self-consolation - yes (see above). Objectively, no. You are not the driving force of this flight or even the initiator, you were simply thrown off and presented with a fact. Some, completely upset by this situation, stop their attitude ahead of time, but such people are usually not respected.

Well, thank you. I'm not looking for the meaning of life at all. But in every game to which I give my time and energy, I am always aware of what I strive for, what I want - I see the goal.
Well, at least you tell me, what is your goal in playing Diablo2?

And you are still looking.

Well, in MMORPG players pay for such a fan, but here you can grind for free.
Let me disagree with you. For me personally, "grind" is a necessary measure. As an example, I cannot kill the boss - then I will have to return to the location / level back to strengthen (get things, raise the level). Thus, in my understanding, grinding is a necessary measure to achieve a certain goal.
And what they do in D2 can in no other way be called as aimless motivation.

Be kind, repeat the answer, I did not catch it. Only briefly, without "water".
I even highlighted it with underlining and bold.
>>> it is not
"the goal of igry" in d2 is the same as "the meaning of life" in real life. These are all self-reassuring and self-justifying concepts. Some fantasize something for themselves, some try but they fail. They don't really exist. Deal with it.
the life of the firm has no meaning, we write down
from this it directly follows that what he writes also does not make sense the
firm has signed his absolute inconsistency, I
propose to treat him accordingly

For researchers of aggressive polemics,
the entry point into the whirlpool of substitution of concepts:
We have a thesis, the falsity of which is obvious both to the reader and to the pretzel performing the whirlpool attack. It would be a mistake to discuss its falsity, because one obviously false thesis will obviously be followed by others with the same obvious falsehood, and there will be no end to this (sucked into the whirlpool).

Everyone in life is looking for his own goal. For example, I am trying to design a non-compromise version of a safe structure. Well, there are many goals, both personal and quite trivial, and global.
And I really feel sorry for you if you play D2 (or do anything) absolutely aimlessly.

construction - a euphemism for a build (building, assembly, character setup), or is it about building houses in real life?
