Title: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Dr Rawr 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!!!!

Post by: Helepolis on April 20, 2011, 07:04:11 AM: 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

Post by: Helepolis on April 20, 2011, 09:06:13 PM: 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
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Dr Rawr on April 20, 2011, 11:42:46 PM: Well i will start playing monday in between dots games :V so hopefully ill get far enough for frenzy and get a decent sized sapphire for helmet(for the mana gain) and roll through the acts

Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Dr Rawr on April 21, 2011, 11:00:57 AM: im pretty sure barbarian had frenzy, the thing wich gives you insane attack speed and movement speed and damage when you start attacking
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Yukarin on April 21, 2011, 12:27:18 PM: Frenzy is Druid skill.

Paired with Werewolf, it's beastly for a melee Druid.
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: ApharmdB on April 21, 2011, 12:41:52 PM: 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...
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Yukarin on April 21, 2011, 05:27:13 PM: 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.

Post by: Helepolis on April 21, 2011, 08:05:54 PM: 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.

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

Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: ApharmdB on May 04, 2011, 05:57:48 AM: 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.
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Helepolis on May 04, 2011, 08:49:46 AM: 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 >:)
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Dular on May 04, 2011, 05:34:13 PM: 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

also if anyone has a jah, cham, or zod i need one.

(http://i56.tinypic.com/2r2ltw5.png)

badly... srsly

I have a bunch of Pgems, call to arms, and some other high end runes, and a archon plate.

Also need +damage charms

Post by: Yukarin on May 06, 2011, 03:07:34 PM: @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.
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Dr Rawr on May 06, 2011, 03:26:04 PM: Yea im trying to make breath of the dying but not haveing a zod rune makes it impossible. No idea how much time im putting into making this item for the first time :toot:. also call to arms and beast have just as long recipes or close
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Yukarin on May 06, 2011, 04:32:18 PM: 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.

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.
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Yukarin on May 09, 2011, 11:21:33 AM: Ahh, I thought it was Tiamat's. It had +2 to all skills and juicy chance to block. Also chance to drop magical items.
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Pesco on May 12, 2011, 09:38:54 PM: 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.

Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: ApharmdB on May 14, 2011, 02:03:49 PM: That'd require D2GS. Unlike WC3 hostbots, this one needs to be installed on the henrietta server itself - http://pvpgn.wikia.com/wiki/D2GS_Server, or this http://developer.berlios.de/docman/display_doc.php?docid=694&group_id=2291#unix
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Helepolis on May 14, 2011, 02:54:25 PM: It has to be Linux only TSO said. I am a total idiot when it comes to installing stuff on servers orz.

Seeing it has unix behind the link, its I guess compatible?
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: ApharmdB on May 14, 2011, 03:07:28 PM: Hmm. D2GS is the program described in the first link that enables closed realm support. It is the Game Server. It depends on D2CS/D2DBS which are in the second link (Character Server and Database Servers respectively). All 3 need to be running for a fully functional realm. Unfortunately while D2CS and D2DBS are easy to set up on a linux box, and in all likelihood already is set up on henrietta, D2GS is a Windows-only program. However, I've set it up to run under Wine in Debian before for LoD 1.09, so it's still possible. That was a long time ago though, so I can't say for certain that current versions of Wine will run D2GS as flawlessly as before.

Post by: Pesco on June 01, 2011, 05:44:35 PM: It's an inevitable subject, but as we get more into the game, it needs to be discussed:

Hacked Items

The feelings range all over the place on this, I know. But for the sake of keeping the community clean, Hacked items are banned. If you use hacked items, you play alone. If you trade people hacked items, you will be kicked from playing with others. If you are in doubt, start up a new character and don't twink.

There will be zero tolerance on hacks or cheats of any sort used in the game. The policy will follow the forum's punishments for piracy.
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Dormio Ergo Sum on June 01, 2011, 09:58:34 PM: Cheating is for losers.

Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Helepolis on June 02, 2011, 08:02:50 AM: Especially cheating in a game which has non-existing competitive factors.

The forum piracy policy is perfect fitting. It doesn't matter what kind of excuse you have for hacking items, you just shouldn't do it here.
Title: Re: [D2] Because Diablo just doesn't seem to want to die
Post by: Captain Infinity on June 06, 2011, 06:54:13 AM: BURN THE CHEATERS.
