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.
