[D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
« on: April 20, 2011, 03:43:14 AM »
Well seeing as we have a SC and WC3 threads, may as well start the D2 thread...

We should all be manly in doing this by making hardcore characters only.

Also be cool and post what kind of character you plan to make and items and such... me I plan to make dagger frenzzzzzy barb, and hopefully somehow obtain 2 ghost flames and roll through the game looking like im pounding on a drum  :V, but first need to find my cd. ALSO NO DONT BE LAME AND USE HERO EDITOR!!!!

Not going to risk my time trying to make a hardcore character, especially with 1.13 which is unfamiliar for me. Sometimes the game is lagging as well.

I am going to create a Sorc both for MF and for playing, because I dislike other chars :V

Act I completed stupid Inaba =P and lvl 16 already. Dohohohoho. Matter of time when I get Frozen Orb so I can blast through levels.

PS: Once I have relative good gear and have Nightmare done, I can offer Act boosting for people if they want :V

im pretty sure barbarian had frenzy, the thing wich gives you insane attack speed and movement speed and damage when you start attacking

Frenzy is Druid skill.

Paired with Werewolf, it's beastly for a melee Druid.

Frenzy is a Barbarian skill. You're thinking of Fury - that's the Druid's Werewolf form equivalent of Frenzy.

Oh the memories of not being able to play my Frenzybarb since he kept desyncing himself from the realm due to lolspeed...

Huh, could have sworn it was Frenzy though. Maa ne, haven't played that game in what, 4 years? Memory from that game fails me.

And lol at Martial Assassins. They don't freaking care about Immune to cold BS. Right click x3 to Left click = freeze anyone regardless.

1.13 so far is being orz.  Managed to clear Act III.  Though Normal means nothing. I am curious how it is on Nightmare+

zzzz without Frozen Orb I won't be going anywhere yet. Act IV completed and at lvl 27 or so. Found that one sword giving +2 to all fire, so useful for now. Still need a grimshield and/or Vipermagi skin or Dusk shroud :V

Yea, Defensive dude Nm Act II == win. But his name has to be Jemali, because I say so.

Frozen Orb is beastly.

Cept when you fight Immune to cold, then you have to switch to Meteor or that wall of fire.

Or when it is Firecold resistance :V It all depends on my Merc



Me and my nephew have cleared Normal together and advanced to Nightmare. But the mobs own our asses so we need to level up first by doing few baal runs on Normal :V

He is ZealFanadin lvl 39 now I think and I am Sorc 42  >=3

PS Pesco, you suck because you make me crash when you try to join. ReinstallyourDiabloIIandupdateproperplzthanks.

To host D2X games on open bnet, one needs to open port 4000 in addition to 6112.

I've got a frenzy barb coming up, but if I remember correctly, he'll need a megatonne of farming to be hell-viable.

Also, no more Iron Maiden in the Chaos Sanctuary? That makes it so much less exciting :(

Yeah, playing games where you can't die instantly with no chance to do anything about it just feels weak somehow.

Those Doom Knights/Oblivion Knights no longer play metal. As if you needed to run a lot of Diablo anyway. The droprates in 1.13 are to cry for. Mobs hit shittons harder with 8 player games.

My Sorc is currently lvl 80 and around 225% MF equipped. Meph runs on hell == orz   LK runs seems decent for runes but still orz. I don't even want to speak about Eltrich and Siege boss. Even my lvl 80 Nightmare Act II Merc Jemali is having hard time.

1.13 is fail

PS edit:
If you lot need fast quest boost and Baal runs for ++levels, let me know so we can arrange party for mass Baal runs.

Heh I remember back in Classic D2 HC when Lance WW Barbs were all the fashion, that was the one place where sorcs lived and you'd see things like barbarians manually downgrading their uber rare lance to a pike so that they don't die instantly from Iron Maiden. I loved running that place with Frenzy and Berserk even after Baal runs came into fashion. Personally, the name of the game is Diablo y'know... Mt Arreat is cool and all, but the Chaos Sanctuary is one hell of an iconic level. And long before the threat of Hell difficulty Ancients (which are a crapshoot btw.. most HC players used to just reset them till we got favourable mods), it was hilarious to see the sight of even the most twinked out barbs running down the length of the River of Flame fleeing like little girls from Hephasto. My first HC sorc was lost to him in a painful lesson - he can run and hit faster than I could cast a TP >.>

Awesome stuff... Dular and I are still dicking around in Act 1 Normal (or at least I am) for a while, having just started out. Hope to join the hell romps soon >:)

I play D2 when I can, but since I work so much and just started working on my costume, it goes slow.

I just entered Act 2 and, with some lucky gambles, I now have a rare tower shield with that oh so lovely +20% blocking rate and +30% blocking speed.  In fact, all of my equipment, minus my jewelry, is rare.  :V

On a semi-random note, how much better is Diablo 2 compared to the first one ?

@Hele: Nice. I had the same thing on my 70 sorc, which got utterly destroyed on hell because all I had was freaking Frozen Orb. Oh, and is that shield of yours "Tiamat's (something)"

@Rawr: Is that a Rune recipe you are doing? I haven't seen a rune recipe that long. Only thing I know is RalOrtTal.

ooh, zod's hard to find.

Usually on hell. Drops on Mephisto for me sometimes.

Or try something like the cow level.

I have no idea to be honest, never played D1 to judge it. All I can say is D2 still remains for me nicest RPG with joyful playing after 10 years even.

@Hele: Nice. I had the same thing on my 70 sorc, which got utterly destroyed on hell because all I had was freaking Frozen Orb. Oh, and is that shield of yours "Tiamat's (something)"
Monarch - Storm Shield with Eld rune. 74% Block. Got enough dex to achieve max block. So me so blocky. :3

PS Zod rune only drops in Hell Act 5 chests. afaik have read on forums and stuff. From mobs and such, I don't know for sure.

Ahh, I thought it was Tiamat's. It had +2 to all skills and juicy chance to block. Also chance to drop magical items.

Okay serious question time. If everyone wants to do it, it'd be good if we all use the 0.05 release of my Touhou mod when playing. The main feature is the enlarged inventory, stash and cube. Other tweaks are minor and not much of a big deal for the gameplay. It'll just be for peace of mind that everyone uses it on MotK Bnet and we won't have items going missing from bad allocations or whatever when joining random games.
