Can you trigger a save at any time? User Info: thisismyusernme. User Info: Icefang You can force an autosave at any time by making an adjustment to your banner. Quitting the game normally also saves everything you have. However, storyline progress is only saved till your most recent checkpoint, so the safest time to quit if you don't want to lose part of your quest progression is by quitting after you reach a checkpoint.

Well redoing a bit of story isn't the end of the world but if I pause and quit I won't ever lose any loot right? User Info: littlecletus.

If you don't mind having to redo part of the story, just port back to town and quit. I always port somewhere before I quit the game just to be sure and I have not had any issue with missing loot.

Since the item lists for Adria and Pepin were randomly generated each time the player entered the confines of Tristram , repeated saving and loading generated a random list whose quality depended on how far the player has progressed in the dungeon. This was especially useful due to Spellbooks being available with Adria and at higher levels Elixirs being available with Pepin. This contributed to the rampant hatred towards Elixirs by players that found their deaths at the hands of an elixir-boosted, high-level-spell-casting Sorcerers that became a fad in the heyday of Diablo I Battle.

In Diablo II , you cannot save on a whim. Seeing the rampant misuse of the save-load mechanism in Diablo , Blizzard overhauled the system. The only way you can manually save is if you also exit the game. Conversely, exiting the game forces you to save as well. With the overhaul of the Skill system that did not promote up to fifteen levels of spells, the game did not allow respecializing of Skills, although indirectly which added to the challenge. This also made players depend on luck before doing certain one-time only rewards, like Charsi 's Imbue reward and the smashing of Mephisto 's Soulstone.
