I was going to attempt torment 3 but as I logged in I noticed there a message about a special event that was happening right now in Diablo.
I was very surprised to see how the graphics went back to Diablo 2 as I entered the portal, even more surprised to as I realized how long this event was and how deep it went in levels. That's why the gameplay is sped up about 2x.
I'm glad I only chose Torment 1 for this event cause else it could've taken me a few days to complete.
Any Diablo 2 players out there? You might enjoy this one. :)
