Diablo 2?

[Himmler]

Does anyone play Diablo2? I'm playing with a friend Diablo 2 LOD on his IP....actually i don't know how long would that take..but in the weekends...does anyone wanna play? :D

[Dave]

I'm a hard player...but...sorry,I only play with single player mode!And only sometimes with TCP\IP (I've got a bad line!)
I'm a 92 Paladin and you?
Can you tell me the new quest behind Lilith? (in patch 1.11)

:cheers:

[Blood-Pigggy]

I used to play it for like.... 4 years.
Then I quit, maybe sometime or another I can arrange something.

Let's hope so :D :w00t:

[Dave]

If you need strategies or help in some quest...I'm the best! :ok:
I know all the sets, unique items and runics ones,so if you want I can advise you something for your Barbie :Titan:
But...patch 1.11 it's new for me...few new items and runics! :pissed: :whip:

[Toxik]

i dont know, i could play but the diablo multiplayer isnt nothing special for me.i played with few my frieds and basically all we did was trying to steal another guys stuff while he was busy killing monsters

[ReamusLQ]

I had a level 89 Lightning Paladin, but when I got to hell I realized I had built my guy all wrong and could hardly last five minutes out in the wilderness, so I got frusterated and stopped playing

[Dave]

I don't agree with this type of ability...only blessed hammer..only Lightning...I kill beating the enemy! :pissed: :hammer:

[Himmler]

will my barbarian stand a chance?
anyways..my friend has played Diablo 2 before..but i'm pretty new..i only played the demo when it was out...so now he scams me a lot :ranting: he's got something like 150.000 gold and i now have like 9000 cause i died once and he stole my money... :ranting: i just got level 20 :w00t:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Gold isn't really that important.
Rule 1 of Paladin.
NEVER, EVER, go for lightning ALWAYS Holy Freeze.

[Dave]

With gold you can gambling...but you'll see it's not really important...
Try to saving ability...use the point when you need it...for example...
If you need 20 strenght point to wear a Sacred armor or a new weapon..
Watch the sinergies before using the ability points..
:ok:
Have fun...!! :Brain:

[Himmler]

i could play on a romanian server..but unfortunately i don't have v1.10 :cry: ..that's why i like to play on tcp/ip

[Dave]

If you want it go to the official site...www.blizzard.com...search Games, Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction and here there's the patch...but if you don't have the original version...you have to get the patch! and...you know what I means..I can't say it here... :whistle:
:bye:

[troop18546]

More than willing, but uhhh... don't ask me why I can't play online... :whistle: :D

[Himmler]

troop u can play...on my friend's IP..he's hosting and you can evolve your character in singleplayer too... :whistle:

i won't go to blizzard :whistle: ...umm.. because the ones who made diablo 2 left Blizzard... :whistle: :sneaky: yeah..that's it...

[gregor]

a very good combo is Paladin & Necromancer

One creates mosters the other one enhances them with auras.

[Shrek]

is it possible to play it against others over an IP? how is it done? i wouldn' t mind to try...

[Himmler]

click on other multiplayer and choose TCP/IP ...if u're the one who's hosting then click on host game ...if your friend s already hosting then choose join game and enter his ip

well i kown how to do that in a network (LAN) but never tryed over internet....

i remember finishing it some years ago, and i also finished the expansion-set.

[Kearnsy]

I agree with you. My friend (Necromancer) and I (Paladin) did this al the time.
If you add in a Mage or archer thats even better. :ok:

yah it's seems the whole game is designed for the amazon. combines power with range attack with magic.

[Blood-Pigggy]

What?
The Amazon is always the hardest to temper for a perfect character.
Paladins are usually the most versatile, there's almost no way you can go wrong (unless you do lightning, you will almost always go wrong :bleh: )

[Himmler]

i like the paladin-barbarian combo...about the challenge...is anyone ready?

[Abi79]

I'll be ready as soon as I buy the game. That'll be next week. :cheers:

[gregor]

since people talk about characters here....

i never played this game single player (except when i done some experimenting in 1st level.

so here is what i wonder. what lever are you supposed to be when you reach act two and what level when you reach act 3? by this supposed i mean tht you dont' replay qusst or go killing mosters just to reach the higher level.

because in my experience if you play in a party with at least one playe you level is usually lower when you get into next act. which is realyl stupid because mosters are the same or even higher level then if it was a single player game..

[Blood-Pigggy]

Here's a list.

Act 1 - 12-14
Act 2 - 18-20
Act 3 - 24-25
Act 4 - 27
Act 5 - 34 - 38

EDIT: Oops, forgot to mention these are the average levels when you finish those certain acts.

[ReamusLQ]

I made sure I was level 20 before Act 2, 30 before act 3, 40 for Act 4, 50 for Act 5...it made my life so much easier.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Um, what are you playing?
You must have spent hours playing on one act just to get to those levels.
If you follow the levels on the list, it'll bring the difficulty right around where it's supposed to be, level 30s aren't supposed to be running around in Act 3, it's far too easy, and it practicly ruins character development in some aspects as you keep pumping points into certain skills without being absolutly sure if you're going to need them, the different monsters in each act force you to think differently on skills, allowing you to get a larger arsenal of skills more befit to different situations.
This is the same reason why you should NEVER, EVER, get rushed.

I've been playing for a long time now (like, a year before LoD came out), so I've become very well aquainted with all of the skills, and what is worth while and not. I always do stupid experiments and stuff (Like a throw barb...whoah is that bizarre to do), but it didn't take me long to reach level 20 before act 2. It was actually very easy. You can do it with out having to exit the game and go monster hunting; I just made sure I always wiped out every monster in each area.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Are you talking single or Multiplayer?
If you attempt that in singleplayer without saving and exiting, the only possible way to do it would be /players 8, and otherwise it would only get you to something like level 18.

single player, and I did use players 8 most of the time because I liked the extra items that were dropped

I don't like playing online too often...too many hackers

Although I do sometimes play ladder online simply to try to get some of the ladder only rares

[BeefontheBone]

You'd never play through a whole act in a sitting, so normal exiting to go do something else could leave you with easily enough monsters to get to lvl20 before the end of act 1 if you play in relatively small chunks of time.

I got bored of the vanilla game ages ago but I occasionally play some of the mods for it - Eastern Sun's pretty good.

[Blood-Pigggy]

That's why you play CLOSED!
Do not click on Open, stay far away from Open, that is hacking, Closed has no hacking whatsoever, it's all fair.

I know, that's why I play ladder every now and then, but I don't always like playing with other people, so I create a password protected game for myself and go around.

Only time I ever played open was before I got Atma V, and would use our two computers to transfer items between characters.

[Blood-Pigggy]

I use knives to stab you.

Do you have the original and the expansion?
It's much better when you play it with people you actually relate to, or have a vague acquintance with.
If you like, we can arrange a game, it'd be much better.

I'd have to reinstall it on this computer, which means finding my Diablo II CD (I have LoD in front of me, but I can't find the original) so after that sometime certainly.

Why the stabbing?

[Blood-Pigggy]

I'm compulsive.
No reason.

Did you find it ? I'm going to be available for playing Sunday (I think :D ) because I need to turn those <how do you write "cd" when there are 2 or more ?> into iso's and archive them on my mother's computer in case something bad happenes.

I would uhh... need a cd key...

Anywayz, what good is the IP then??? :blink:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Go buy it Troop.
It's worthless without multiplay.

[troop18546]

Money doesn't grow on trees. Maybe I could still multiplay... hmmm. :ph34r:

[Blood-Pigggy]

1000th Post

Yes, but 20 bucks is not a whole lot of money for the original.

[troop18546]

Not 4 U maybe. :whistle:
It costs about 12-13 euros here, and it's the pricyest game around.
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is the exact cost and it's a 2005 game.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Haha.
Sucks for you.

[troop18546]

I do not see the funny part. <_< Anyway, in 2 years - i'm goin' to work. And daaaaaaaaaaaaamn buy EVERYTHING I WANT. :evil:

[Blood-Pigggy]

The funny thing about a job is that once you get it, you never wanna spend the money.

I don't make that much though, so I have no clue what I'm talking about really. :D
Buy it when you get the chance.

The stupid thing about the money is: The more you earn the more you spend automatically...

[Hunter]

i played diablo since it was released and i really like this awesome game. its one of my favorites and it's definitively better than all others in this genre. i had the best unique and rare item stuff and my chars had the best weapons you could find. i had a barb with grandfather. he was really strong. but i did'nt like the hardcore mode because my chars always died immidiately when i came to hell. i got disappointed, sad and angry when my lvl 80 barb died and i could'nt resurrect him.

i would recomment that noone should play hardcore mode.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Hey, I play hardcore all the time!
I got a level 79 Barbarian in hardcore mode.

[Abi79]

I installed the game and I am/will be ready for a battle...tommorow. I'm so proud of my Level 1 Paladin :Brain: :D

[troop18546]

I could go buy a Diablo I tomorrow or something (mainly cause I'm a "cheapskate" who has little money), anyone interested in that multiplay? Or maybe lend me a cd key? :whistle:

P.S. Would there be problems with the "Best-Seller series" version of Diablo?
Cause there are probs with the original. Like the annoying one - insert right disk (when the orig disk is inserted)?

[Ioncannon]

My D! borke sadly. And for D2, me and my friends were like demi gods in that ganme. We stopped when the new patch came out that erased all the hacks :(. (Strength gloves, and white rings ftw)

[punch999]

I had a choice between counterstrike and diablo 2. I picked counter sadly it was used and didnt include the damn serial. LOL

[troop18546]

Could anyone tell me what this error is?
I had it before and it's come back.

This is what I see in Diablo I.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Did you buy Diablo 1?
Everyone has 2, you fool! :D
I don't know, that has never happened to me, and I've played it on PCs ranging from XP to Win95

[Himmler]

After a long absence of posting i'm back ...for 5 minutes :D
I'm now moderating a well known conter-strike server in romania wich occupies most of my time... untill now..
I have now the 1.10 patch installed and currently playing on a romanian server..it is so much fun especially when somebody helps you.I have a barbarian now (level 37) and i very much like it.I'll use a loader too -> you can play with several characters at once...

Several characters at once ? Isn't this cheating ? (...and where can I find one of those :whistle:)

[Himmler]

cheating..u don't have enough room for trade with one char so u have to make several..

[Abi79]

oh, ok. ... how do you play with your multiplayer character in single player ? I couldn't find my s(ingle)p(layer) character in m(ulti)p(layer) and I couldn't find the character I made in mp in sp to play with. (complicated, isn't it ?)

[Himmler]

u can't do that ...the mp chars are ladder chars not normal...

you can take your sp char if you play on someone's ip

[Abi79]

Ah, well. *Returns to destroy every monster still alive with his Paladin.*

[Himmler]

tell me when u're playing ..if i am at home i could help you out :D

[Abi79]

I can only play in the weekend. This school is taking away my free time :ranting: I was able yesterday to play only half an hour on Diablo 2 and half an hour on Allegiance. :(

[Himmler]

gamespace(the ladder) lets u use maphacks...u'll get no ban for this one..

*later on* i'm lev 64 now :Brain:

[Abi79]

What that maphack ?

[Himmler]

with the maphack u can view all the map and the monsters and u can also view the equipement of another player

[Himmler]

abi..you need to stop playing other games and join me on gamespace :wall: :crazy:

[Abi79]

One day, one day. I still need to find a way to get more free space (hmm... I should try to get FreeSpace). I've got a lot of things on my computer. Let me just talk with a friend to burn me a CD (that way I'll free on my disk 600 MB), and then :Titan: At least I still keep my sp characters on my computer. It was very hard to beat the second quest and I don't want to beat it again

[Himmler]

i need u to build your character so i can help you out...i hope u already have a char...my guess is that u have a palladin :crazy: ..currently i'm raising another char ...a necromancer :D

[Abi79]

Your guess is wrong. I too have a necromancer. :cheers:

[troop18546]

Necromancers are best in any game. :kosta:

[BeefontheBone]

I'm just installing LoD now, and getting 1.11, and I'd be up for playing legit non-hacked games with you guys - either hardcore or normal.

[Himmler]

1)u should install vers 1.10 :)
2) necromancers are the weakest... sorceresses are the best in the game, then the paladin...and so on ... i now have my 78 lvl barbarian ...i could of have it grown bigger but for now it's good at this stage untill i get my Immortal king's armor so i can have my full set :D :cheers:

[Abi79]

Yay for Beef. (I found somebody with the same name in Starsiege Tribes; were that you ?) I'll join ya guys sometime this month. There were too many tests this week for me so I had to learn on Saturdays and Sundays :ranting:

EDIT: and also I need to free some disk space without uninstalling Allegiance. Those who play it know why :D

[Himmler]

I'm now at my 83 level and have my immortalk king set complete, currently raising my 23 lev sorceress and 11 level necromancer :D + other characters to keep my other items

[Abi79]

:kosta:

[Himmler]

abi start fooling around...enter the realm already...i'm already raising a druid...

[dragonLancer]

I love diablo my friend has it wish i did... maybe I should check E-bay for it.. hmm... i wonder how much it runs for these days?

[PrejudiceSucks]

In the UK it's released at ?10, as is the expansion. That's in the shops though, and it's quite reasonable.

I might get the expansion, actually. Is it any good?

[Himmler]

you have to have them both in order to play...or not :twisted:

Yup it's good. or should i say it's fun. especially if you play with someone (at least over home network).

[Himmler]

naaah...u need to be on a server to win experience quicker ;)

[Dave]

Is there someone who knows the new special item in patch 1.11?
Or something about Lilith sanctuary?
My 92 Paladin needs something powerful!!! :king: :hammer:

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

well the new patch added something in hell mode if you kill blood raven nelathik and some other miniboss you get a key from each guy (3 different keys given at random) if u have 1 of each you can go fight a super diable super andarial or super durial i think if you beat each of them they each give you a organ if you get all 3 you can then go to this really hard place where town portal scrolls dont work and theres and if you win you can get torchs ( a charm that adds one to all stats of a certain class and other goodies) and the most mysterious item is this flag it says you must be level 90 to equip it... so mr lvl 92 go get that flag and tell us what it does its so annoying :-\ cause nobody knows

[Himmler]

it doesn't do anything..but you can show it to other players so they can see that u have survived the terror :)

[PrejudiceSucks]

Level 92? Crikey... you must have serious patience... plus you must have dropped a hell of a lot of good items by that point.

Anyway, I have 1.11 LoD now. I don't have any experienced characters though, sadly. I will in a couple of weeks, but I've got my mock exams to contest with :(

[Eagle of Fire]

Well, my SpearAzon is now around level 52... That's twice the level I ever had enough patience to play a char through, thanks to the new patch and all the new stuff. :)

Unfortunatly, I began to get quite bored again and I might never play her again...

[PrejudiceSucks]

Fair enough. My top level character used to be level 27 (a barbarian) but then my hard-disk got wiped. After playing Diablo 2 with LOD for a few days I now have a level 13 Assassin, who's alright. Not that great though.

[Himmler]

hmmm...such small chars...
the smallest i have are a necro and a sorc(lev 25), i now have my druid done, he's lev 83..and kinda naked(a duriel armor a jalal's helm, a crappy scepter, dracul's grasp gloves and some old ruggy boots :D (werewolf->fury)
and my paladin is almost ready(lev 60) i have set him with a spirit long sword and a spirit monarch ...i'll have to look for a harlequin shako for his small head(maybe with an Um in it :) ), some good boots and a better armor. He's on blessed hammer :D

later on I will raise my necro(bone..duuh, i'll try the marrowalk bug with bone prison) and an assasin.

[Tomahawk]

I played before, but not anymore.

sick of it

[Belfegor]

My best avatar in Diablo 2 LOD is a lvl 64 Assasin. I can say that Hell Act 4 is to hard for me :cry: But with some skilling she might be good. I am now playing with a new avatar. An Amazon. Anyone got a tip on how I should build up the skills? :)

[Blood-Pigggy]

The key with the Amazon is to choose a skill path, (along with passives and magics tab, can't go without the passives and magics).
In otherwords, choose if you want to do bow or spear and javelin beforehand.
Upgrade your passives alot, the key with the Amazon is her ability to use her dodge effectively.
I suggest Javelins, since they are now much more formadable weapons since the development of the game, and Spears as a back up.
Bows just don't have the power and ability as the other two choices, and their selection of good weaponry slim down later on.

[Himmler]

FOr an Amazon you should better go with the javelin skills..but better yet you should try to go with a necromancer on bone or a sorc on cold(although she'll suffer alot on act 4 cause of the surrounding monsters that have immunity.
My barbarian was pretty good although i didn't setup the skills too well :)

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

hay a fun fact The HammerDin is by far the strongest and best guy you can get but alot of his best equipment you can get will cost an arm and a leg ooh and there are only 2 monsters he cant kill magic immune non demon types and those hairy guys gaurding the tree in act 1 hell everything else he can kill oh and if he fights a magic immune demon well his hammers say F you im "holy" magic and still kill him rofl

[Belfegor]

I found a good bow for my Amazon with my assasin :w00t:
Cliffkiller
Large Seige Bow
40-150 Dmg
+2 Amazon skill
192% Enhanced Damage
Adds 8-25 Damage
Knockback
80 Defense vs Missile
+50 to Life :cheers:
Req. 41 level

So I will go with Bow and alot of passive skills :D

[Himmler]

if u are gonna do some PvP also then u better leave the bow behind...it's not that good :)

[Jordan]

My character is too low of a level :(

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

for single players only: go to the game in town soon as you start hit enter then type the following: set players 8 this will treat the game as if there were 8 players making monsters and drops alot better and stronger

[Eagle of Fire]

you must in fact type "/set players 8" if I remember well... And unless you really want to have a challenge or level really fast, I don't recommend it.

[Shunk Eat Enemy]

i do it really levels you up fast its for the maximum efficent players but it doesnt have to be 8 it can be less then work your way up

[Himmler]

:sneaky: that was a nice tip....what's the maximum?

[Eagle of Fire]

8, just like when you play on Battlenet.

or find & use a hex editor.

One thing i noticed is that if two players are playing you are not progresing as fast as in single player mode. So what me and my bro did was use hex editor to increase the character for one or two levels at the end of each act. because that is how much lower our character usually was at the end. i "measured" it by playing single player first.

when well the new patch added something in hell mode if you kill blood raven nelathik and some other miniboss you get a key from each guy (3 different keys given at random) if u have 1 of each you can go fight a super diable super andarial or super durial i think if you beat each of them they each give you a organ if you get all 3 you can then go to this really hard place where town portal scrolls dont work and theres and if you win you can get torchs ( a charm that adds one to all stats of a certain class and other goodies) and the most mysterious item is this flag it says you must be level 90 to equip it... so mr lvl 92 go get that flag and tell us what it does its so annoying :-\ cause nobody knows
Wow...I really thank you for those information!I'm near 93 Lvl,and I'm waiting to reach it,I don't have finished the game yet...cause I need the 50.000.000 exp points of the ancient barbarians at the possible highest lvl...(this amount is very important because the % of exp gained is more less and less and less...)...
So...I'm going to take this damned flag at 93 level!!! I'll tell you if I'm a loser or a a Champion of light!
:bye:

[Eagle of Fire]

Don't forget that you must be on BattleNet to get this, it won't work on single player.

[Dave]

Are you sure?There's nothing on single player?

[Ioncannon]

how about open mode?

[Mara]

anyone wanna play on battlle.net ??

[Dave]

I've found the first key! Terror Key... :Brain:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Oh god those keys.
I got them when I was Level 89 with my Paladin, I found the flag but I have no clue what it does.
It's taking FOREVER to get to the right level.

[Dave]

I've found the second!...but I'm in single player mode...does this quest work well here??
..I'm reaching to level 94!
:ok:

[Mara]

key ? :blink:

Right, i gues I need to go further in the game ;)

[Dave]

It's a quest!...but you can start it only in hellfire mode...and you must be a level90...so good work! Go ahead fighter! :ok:

[Mara]

hellfire mode ??

[Dave]

Sorry, Hell mode...in the Italian version it's called Inferno mode..

[Himmler]

i started playing on europa :) currently lev 12 :P i'm making a mf sorc then i'll make a necro and a Baba for PvP

[Dave]

I love my 93 Paladin :king: , but I'm making new warriors too! A Necro (L58) an Amazon (L27) and a Sorceress (L30) LOL ...what can you think about Sorc? Fire or Ice?... :crazy: I dunno what to do...I used to give one ability point to each skill... It's important if you want a complete player,maybe you think it's sinful! But you will take an advantage in a second time... :ok:

[Eagle of Fire]

When playing a Sorceress, the right question (unless you play a challenge Sorceress) is either to use lightning or fire. Always use cold.

[Himmler]

gah..i recommend fire :D
anyway i just got my items :D shako, occulus, tal amu, tal belt, magefist, wt boots and i forgot what armor i'll use :D i even have the items for my slave :brain: (i'll use infinity on him) :ph34r:
i'm going to do some tombs :bye:

currently lvl 25
laaater edit: lev 84, doing mephisto's and praying to get some luck. i have 6 organ sets 1 mal each if anyone interested

[Himmler]

i might be getting someone's account :brain: with a sorc for mf(better than my looser).i hope it wouldn't cost me any anni. if someone's on europe let me know what acc you have :D

[Hamster of Doom]

I started playing again two days ago. They deletede my old Battle.net account; I think the last login was two years ago.

Made an assassin, which is at lvl 7 at the moment. I´m unsure, which way I should go, so some points went into useless skills. This is not going to be a very efficient char, but who cares... :whistling:

[Himmler]

well you have to make it good for something...howw will you go through hell then? at least make it good for PvP

some good news :D i found a shako and an andy visage today :D oh and a duriel shell....i'll try harder next time :D
i think i did 50 runs today :O

[Dave]

I've found the taebaek shield!!...unfortunatly it's useless...but strange!
...the complete set it's... <_< blah...

Hey Himmler, can I see those strange organs?
Because I don't know if I can find them in single player mode...thanks!

[Hamster of Doom]

It´s just a Single Player char. And it´s not that bad....well, at least I hope so... :D
It just annoyed me to see, that I spent points on skills, that I´ll never use again. And I don´t want to start a new char again.


Could it be, that the drop rate of good loot was increased? My char is lvl 15 now and except two or three things all the items I use are already rare and the chest is already overflowing with gems. I´ve already found two set-items (don´t ask me, which sets; I always forget the names...a shield and my armor.).
I don´t think, I found so much good loot so early in the game in previous versions. :blink:

[Himmler]

@David86:unfortunately they have been sold for forum gold...but i can tell you what's it all about...Uber Tristram :D
meph brain, diablos tooth and iforgotwho's eye...you know...the keys that you get and transmute give you the organs...btw in single i don't know if you can open ubertristram...and if you do i'm not sure you'll survive...
from ubertristram you get the torch and the flags :D

well maybe your MF is bigger but you can't know for sure untill you do some andy runs or mephisto runs in hell mode :D ...btw..if they are from sets it doesn't really mean they are any good :bleh:
you should make the /players 8 so you can go through quests witha higher level...cause ...single player is slow:)

on single i'll make a druid on fury, a hammerdin, and a sorc for mf :)

just need a bit of time :whistling:

[Dave]

...Nilathack didn't drop me the last key...so I've to try again and again and again....
It's sure...I'll survive! No one can stop my fury! :titan:

Playing with different warriors is very cool...
I'm learning the magic ability of sorc and Necro!! :boxing:

[Himmler]

uhhh i'm making some edited chars on single to see what's best...and after i compare them i'll decide what char and what abilities will have :sneaky:
david are you playing on europa?

Yes, I know. Some sets are quite useless.
Now I have the Arcic Fur, the Arctic Binding and Cleglaws Claw. Fur and Binding are not bad; the armor and the belt have a high defense (when compared to the normal or blue armor available at the beginning). Cleglaws Claw (a shield) is pretty useless if you play an melee-assassin.

[Dave]

Unfortunatly I can only play on single player...
It's a long and sad story..my FRIEND stolen me my original cd's...and if I play in internet with an illegal copy...I think Blizzard will close my original cd key...right? :tai:

Did you know the great power of rare jewels?...I'm making a reasearch on them...and I discoverd that right combinations are powerful than runes or gems...specially on Griswold set...it has 12 socket!!!

[troop18546]

Question:
Why doesn't Diablo let me play ober battle.net?
I have a legit copy (bought it today). I thought I would play a few games over the net.
What gives? :blink:

[Himmler]

what error do you get?
are you playing with the cd's in the computer? do you have LoD also or just d2? more info please :D

[troop18546]

I have Diablo 1. I thought I'd just ask here rather that create another topic.
It says: "couldn't connect to battle.net" and says to go to support. I'm stumped - help. :wallbash:

[Hamster of Doom]

Hm...could there be a conflict with your firewall? Maybe your firewall doesn´t allow the game to connect. :huh:

Is the auto-patcher of Diablo working or is there no connection at all?

[troop18546]

I have Diablo patched up to 1.09 and it doesn't let me connect to battle.net
My firewall is turned off at all times.

[Hamster of Doom]

Have you already tried to uninstall and then re-install the game? Maybe some files are damaged.
Or the patch is the bad guy. It´s strange, that the game could connect to load the patch but after that there´s no connection to the battle.net.

I would re-install it and see what happens.

[troop18546]

[/b]

I re-installed it and now the game won't recognize my original cd.
The last time I patched it up manually to 1.09, but now my cd isn't recognized and I can't play from cd.
I don't know what the hell has happened, I only have Diablo for 1 day and it's all messed up now.
Yesterday I could play it right from cd, but now I am resorted to use a crack.
BTW, my game seems to crash all the time and I don't know what's going on. The screen flickers when I look in inventory and then a blue screen appears saying all kinds of different muck everytime, which isn't really the problem. Help please.

EDIT: Whoops, got it working again (the cd). No problem about that, but the game still doesn't allow me to connect to battle.net and says I have to connect manually or smth, that my system isn't configured for that <something>. I hate this. :wallbash:

P.S. Does anyone know where Diablo stores it's cd key files in the registry? Cause my copy is missing the cd key again and I thought I would retrieve it from there. :blink:

[Hamster of Doom]

That´s strange... :omg2:
That´s the first time, I hear, that re-installing a game causes so much trouble! :blink:
I just installed Diablo 1 on my PC (with Win XP). It works without a problem; it loads the patch and I can connect to the battle.net without any problems.

Which OS do you use? I figured out, that the game has some problems, if the compatibility-mode (win 95 or Win 98/Me) is activated. (atleast on my PC. Maybe you should try out the compatibility mode, if you haven´t tested it already.)

The following may seem to be silly questions, but often the most obvious things get overlooked :ph34r: :
When you are at the multiplayer-menue and you can choose the type of connection: Is the option "Battle.net" activated, before you try to connect?
Which Battle.net-Gateway is set? Try to connect to another gateway.


Well, at the moment that´s all I can think of. I would suggest, that you visit the blizzard-site and some Diablo-Fansites.
I only know german fansites; so I don´t think, these will help you. But I found something in the Diablo-FAQ at the Blizzard Support. Maybe THIS (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=adb0222p) is helpfull.

Edit: CD-Key? Diablo1 has no CD-key. You can play both Singleplayer and Multiplayer without it.

Well, I checked and the compatibility was indeed the wrong thing. I unchecked the compatibility and the cd was checked right this time (done it the time of my previous post), that prob fixed.
I use all the gateways and nothing - no battle.net . As for the cd-key - thanks, didn't know that :max: .

As for the Blizzard Support - I'll try to use patch 1.09B for NT systems, cause my Windows are XP Professional Servece Pack 2 (or later, I can't remmember...).
Question - why does battle.net not work for me, when it works flawless for you? :blink: Maybe you could try and help me solve that... :blink:

[Himmler]

just got another shako def 138 :brain:
also i gotta sell 3 thundergod belts for an um
and in gamble i scored my biggest hit: an amulet with 3 to combat sk for pala and 28 dex...that's like 8 ists :brain:

[Dave]

Not bad..but my shako is a 139 def!
Socketed with an Ist...I'm reaching 450 Magic Find!!
Cause I want all the Griswold set with the best stats and rare jewels naturally!

[Himmler]

uhhh...i have 430 mf with my occulus(no sock), shako(no sock) wt boots tal belt and tal amu...on the secondary weapons i have 480 mf :> with that small dirk (100 mf) and another ss :D
/w *ro_himmler ;)

[Dave]

[/b]

Mh... I´ll try to help you.

A description of what I did to get the game to work:
I installed the game with my admin-account and play it with my admin account. I didn´t install the patch manuelly; I let the auto-patcher do the work for me. After that I did a restart and allowed the game to pass the Windows-firewall. After that I had no problems to connect with the battle.net (gateway Europe).
That was all. I had no problems and I didn´t have to use a special trick. :unsure:


It could be helpfull, if you post the text of the error-message you get, when you try to connect.

It could also be, that the server list has changed / has an error / is damaged. In that case the game (obviously) can not connect whatever you try. Here is a link to a Blizzard Support Page, that deals with this kind of problem. Look! A link! (http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=adb0222p3) :P


Started playing Diablo 1 again: I have to say, it´s much more difficult than Diablo 2. Many things are different.

Now it says:

i say: yes(cause it's 4 ists... half of my future enigma)
he brings it, we make the deal, i look at my brand new rune and exit the game....but after i rejoined a game i saw that it was gone :huh:
i hate the dupes :wallbash:

I've got Enigma on a Kraken (1375 def)..it works really well! Especially teleport...I love this ability!

What can you tell me about golem?...Fire or blood? Cause I know that's there's a rune word (maybe Stone) that gives you charges

A Javelin Amazon is the best choise :ok:
but about the sets...it's not that good to play with a set...you should go for uniques... use a thunderstrike jave, make a runeword armor... ;)

muhahah my hammerdin is done..almost.. level 86, way better than the sorc :P ...i just need to learn to control it better :D[/b]
You just didn't see a real sorc yet. Baal in hell done in 5 seconds. If you want to feel real power of a fire sorc, just call the game and time :sneaky:

[Himmler]

yes i know sorcs are very good(my fav fire sorcs) but i find the paladin better..for some reason :D maybe because my sorc is naked now :P

[Dave]

I've found the last key!!
But...how can I use them? :huh:
Horadric Cube?

[Hamster of Doom]

Well, normally you would put the 3 keys into the Horadric Cube and activate it. This opens one of three portals. Which portal opens, is chosen randomly. (But there´s a way to make sure, that you don´t get the same portal again and again.)

The problem is, that this quest only works in games in the Closed Battle.net. The keys also drop in Single Player, Network and Open Battle.net, but afaik they are absolutely useless.

[Dave]

I'm suffering too much... :wacko:

[Himmler]

wrong... 3 keys + scrool of tp in cube...or was it an identify one :?
sold a widowmaker today :brain:
now i just have to sell a pair of gore(kinda low..for pul), a verdungo 33-11 for pul and a smc 2 dex 11 fire rez...need to play mooore :P

[Scatty]

If one of you needs help fighting the organs guardians or in Uber-Tristram and plays in Europe Battle-Net just call me, I have a good smiter that's made just for that, he'll kick the brains out of them without too much suffering. And I have all Hellfire-torches for my chars already, so no need to fear that I'll steal them ^_^

Edit: and it was 3 keys in the cube for a portal to one of the guardians. No Town Portal scroll or book needed, but the keys should be mixed in difficulty Hell, Act 5 in town or the portal won't open anywhere else.

[Himmler]

i'll show u i'm right when i'll get a destr key ;)

leave me your acc name so i can wisp you

[Hamster of Doom]

Hm....All this talking about playing Diablo. I think, I have to start playing in the battle.net again. (After I finished my SP-game with my assasin)

[Himmler]

well make it fast ...you don't wanna miss the low prices, do you :max:
all that i hate on bnet is dupers who cause ALOT of lag...

[Hamster of Doom]

Be carefull, when you trade at the moment. Especially if someone offers you a very high amount of Ist-runes for your items. There seems to be a wave of dupes ( most of them Ist-runes, Stones of Jordan and some small charms). Some of the german D2-communities have closed their trade-fora because there are so many dupes at the moment.

I suppose, you probably know this already. But it´s nice to know for anyone else who might want to start trading.

[Himmler]

yep ..you're 100% right...that's causing the lag on bnet.. anyway if i have something for trade worth hrs i give them to a friend of mine that sells it through forum trades, making it kinda safe :) as i said a while ago i got scammed with a gc 3 combat pala sk+26(i think) to life....that's like 5 ists...i got offered an ohm which proved to be a dupe :). got scammed with telehack also on a torch trade. actually i gave it out..i already had a hi stats trade on me, i actually wanted to see the scam :D
yesterday i ound a widowmaker and sold it for um :D ...hope i'll have some luck today

[Himmler]

soon enough i think we'll have an Uber Hunt, Uber Tristram included :D

[Hamster of Doom]

Hehe...

I´m still working on my amazon (fighting with javelins). The lags on B.net are really annoying at the moment. If you try to play at the wrong time (when all the dupers are "playing"), the game is nearly unplayable; for example when you need several seconds to pick something up or to change your weapons. <_<

[Himmler]

the lag is not only caused by dupers...the other reason being the last patch that's allowing torches, annis and gheeds to be put in the tradewindow :)

[Hamster of Doom]

Hm...how can that cause lags? Shouldn´t these just be normal trades? I don´t see, how trading with that stuff can also produce lags... :huh:

[Scatty]

Some say also the lags come because Blizzard relocated two servers from Battle-Net to WoW, at least in Europe gateway, and the remaining ones became therefore more demanded than before. I still think though the lags come because of the new serverpatch the free dupe method became available which is currently free useable by everyone who doesn't care about Diablo II and other players but about own profit.

[Himmler]

yeah wellEuropa is FULL of n44ps...they're driving me crazy

[gregor]

best combination is Paladin along with Necromancer. Necromancer provides an army of undead. They are used as shield. Paladin provides the auras to protect the army of undead. Then Paladin with help of the undead army kills a big & quite powerfull creature. The Necromancer quickly uses exploding body spell and set's of chain reaction of exploding bodies. the spells increases with each explosion i believe and preety soon demons are defeated :D.

One thing i was always wondering is how to get my character to higher level. should i stay in the act even if i finished it and replay it over and over again? or what?

[Himmler]

depends on what level you are. if u're 80 go for baal runs :) if you're lower do diablo runs :D

To level up, I would stay in an easy act that gives quite a lot of xp, like Act 3 for example. You don't really want to put yourself in too much danger, because it's a total pain in the arse when you die if you're trying to level up.

By the way, I have a question to any good players out there - is level 21 a bit low to be fighting Mephisto with?

Because I panned Duriel (not least thanks to my equipment, which was a long sword with 3 Topaz gems in) at level 19, although he didn't drop anything :( (although that's nothing to do with my level, and might even be normal, I suppose).

[Himmler]

act 3? oO that's not gonna level up too good.
lev 1-15 tristram
15-25 tombs
25-30 cows
30 baal (as i can remember now...)
and so on...

[Himmler]

as of today i won't be playing diablo 2 on bnet anymore...got bored :(

Level 24 is about when most people leave act 3.
Here's a table of the acts and when most people leave them.

Act 1 - level 14
Act 2 - level 21
Act 3 - level 24
Act 4 - level 27

[Scatty]

That was earlier when people played D2 through yet. Now most people get rushed, then level in act 1 and 2-3 to level 20, then do ancients and then do cowruns with a high-level char killing until they're level 25, after which they do baalruns up to level 50.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Nope, most people still play normaly.

On US East at least.

[Himmler]

on europa an 80 lvl char is done in one day

[Blood-Pigggy]

That's impossible, unless it's on Open Battlenet, and Open is a disgrace, there's no way you can reach level 80 in twenty four hours.

[Himmler]

yes there is :D i did it with my pally :D at 10 PM i was level 83 :D now he's 90 but i gave my account to a beginner...my enigma is doomed :S

[troop18546]

Kind of a really stupid question, but here goes:
errhmm... Is it still possible to play Diablo2 (from Best Sellers series ofcrs.) over B.NET? Are there still probs, like I've heard that - someone is already using the CDkey, although you have just bought the game?
I'm thinkin' of buying it (at last huh? last in line...), cause I'm bored on the pc and there isn't anything better to purchase around my area... :ph34r:

P.S. Does Blizzard give you or can give you a new CD-key if you lose one or dont find one in the box? (BP remmembers the sh1t with AVP2, thanx BP for the key :kosta: ).

[Himmler]

well if you can't get on eorupe(assuming you wanna play there) you can try the other realms. one of them MUST work.
my cd-keys were used on us-east by someone else :S

blizz doesn't give any new cd-keys...

I've got 3 exams to do...oh God... :wallbash:
Maybe in September, my warriors will wait a month!

[Scatty]

Don't forget to check them out once in a while, or they might run out and you don't have any warriors anymore :sneaky:

[Dave]

Thank you...but I only play on single player mode...They will wait... :ok:

[troop18546]

How dumb of me, sheesh - I thought I checked in the options, well thanx I found it myself. ^_^
Actually, I think it just zooms in to the char, nothing more. :blink:

P.S.
I am at Act4, I have a clean route to Diablo's sanctuary (I managed to go from act2 (less that halfway in) to Act4 final quest in 4 days; Mephisto - a pushover; Duriel - deathzone).
I was wondering, I'm at the end of the game and some spells of mine require lvl 30 while I am lvl 27 (or 28th, I forget) how can I reach at least lvl 30, so that it would make my char more safe (I'm pummelled in the sanctuary when I switch to life-saving tactics.)?
I play a Necro with my Golem and 3mage company.

BTW, how many lvl's are there in SP mode? 30?

[Scatty]

In Diablo 2 you can have as much as lvl 100 (up to lvl 40-45 reachable effectively in normal difficulty). As for the necromancer, you're already doomed. You had to skill up skeletons first of all and the skeleton mastery (if you don't have that one high up yet), then you wouldn't have that many problems in CS right now (that is, if you have the latest patch 1.11 installed). Golem isn't the best choise also, but if, then clay golem (slowes enemies, much life) is the best until you can choose revive skill. With it you will have it relative easy then, eventhough still little slow.
If I would be you, I would restart the necromancer and build up skeletons and mastery instead. Skill lvl 5-6 of skeletons is enough for the start, then max the mastery out, after which the skeletons. 1 point in Revive can't hurt, either.

[/b]

I have D2 patched up to v1.11 (what good is that anyway?).

You're saying that Golem isn't good. I've gone through half of the game with a ClayG (only way) and the rest with a BloodG or IronG. My usuall attack consists of this:

Blood Golem up front with me (bone-armored) on either side + 3 Skeleton mages in the back.
The blood golem is definately the best choice here - he provides me with health he steals of of enemies, I provide a powerful melee atttack with my Necro + I curse all with "Amplify Damage". I flee a few meters off of the enemies if the going gets tough and then - come back for some more. If fighting a powerful boss - I create a TP rightaway, so that I could jump in anytime without fearing death or going through the dungeons again.

I don't see a sign of weakness in all this, but I do wanna level up to lvl30 so that I could use the revive skill.

I thought about having the skeleton army at first, but the skills had requirements for tougher combat and I didn't wanna waste my skillpoints for weak skeletons. Some people say that curses are a waste of time, but I chose some just to know what they do. I think in the early hours the "Iron Maiden" is good, but now my "Amplify Damage" is way better, cause I mainly use it to do great damage to foes in a short period of time, thus eliminating them quicker than with "IM".

I could write down all my stats to you if you could have any tips, suggestions, tricks for my char then. I really think I'll have to go to Act4's first open areas if I wanna level up for the last assault on D. What do you say to that? :blink:

[Himmler]

well if you wanna level up then do CS runs but don't kill diablo :D

[Himmler]

yeah...that'd be good...you can level quicker in MP so go for it ;)

[troop18546]

Maybe I'll try it in MP tomorrow, anything for that lvl 30 (at least).

I would like to meet someone online for a trade.

I'm looking for:

a strong shield
a strong helm (full or bone-helm)
a powerful flail

I need all socketed or rare or set items.

P.S. If anyone has something from the Iserhart's or Cleglaw's etc. sets for trade - I'm willing to buy it (in gold ofcourse). It would aid me in my SP quest to kill Diablo.

[Blood-Pigggy]

The Necromancer is very difficult in Act 4, while he can pummel most other bosses, he doesn't do as well against those annoying mage knights in Act 4.

My only advice is to try to level up more and put a ton of points in Bone Spear, you can kill most guys in Act 4 (including big D) it goes right through enemies, so you can hit a ton of guys in a big group, which makes it quite useful in Act 4. You can kill Diablo with it, it will take a long time, but eventually he will fall, just have a town portal open constantly, in case you die.
Dodge his attacks best you can, same with the mage knights, you will be able to finish off most monsters in Act 4 by killing them with bone spear, it damages enough of them to hurt them properly. With patch 1.11 you should have synergy from Teeth and such to have bonespear doing enough damage at level two or so.

That's all I suggest, once you reach Nightmare, it will be alot easier, just spend alot of points on your damaging skills, bonespear will keep you alive through most of the game, just upgrade it every now and then.



Oh, and summons are completely useless, look to changing the type of skills you use (I only ever use Fire Golem, and even that gets useless in Hell difficulty when most monsters are immune).

Some Diablo2 players praise that bonespear skill, I don't have a single point in it, but the revive skill seems better, cause it can re-animate the dead with 200% HP. THAT'S a thing not to be missed.
I think I'll just use some points for that bonespear thingie (you said 2 is enough for act4?) when I reach a new level - I'll try that, cause it seems to work good. Nothing else seems to work that good, although all other acts are now a piece of cake. I think that poison nova could be a good thing to have, cause no enemies are prepared for it in act4.

P.S. BP, do you play D2 now? I could create or join you in a game for experience and some trades (I'm reffering to open battle.net, cause there my char is). PLEASE, anybody - help me gain exp in openB.net.

[Blood-Pigggy]

I don't play Diablo 2 much.
And If I was, I would not touch Open, I'm sorry, but if I install it again, the only place you'll find me is closed Bnet.

Oh, and DO NOT PUT ANY POINTS IN REVIVE, it's a completely useless skill, not only are the monsters worthless ressurected, but you also have a limited amount of revives, and they're even under a time limit, you can only have about five revives that last a minute long, the skill is utterly useless, don't waste any of your points in it.

I suggest you get at least 5 points in bone spear, 2 points should be enough for Act 4 if you don't mind slowly cutting through the enemies, I suggest you get at least 3 points, only 2 if you feel like going real slow.

OK OK, I'll first use bonespear.
But, why do you fear open.bnet so much? I mean there are hackers there and cheaters, but you shouldn't worry about that while playing with me. I mean the fact that my char is lvl27 shouldn't scare nobody.

P.S. Anyone else up for a game or few on open.bnet? I want to buy some equipment and gain some exp, that's all. :unsure: PLEASE :sos:

don't socket with gems...try and find some runes and make some runewords ;). but if you really want to socket gems maybe you should use some perfect diamonds for your resists and idk...some skulls for lsph and msph?
and yes, r.u.s.s. plays on open bnet ;)

[Blood-Pigggy]

His level is far too low to start making runewords, he should just focus on finding good gems and items that beef up his mana regen and life regen, try to get some armor (helms, chest armor) and fill them up with perfect skulls.

Diamonds won't work well, they're useless in 1.11, but since all the enemies in Act 4 are mostly elemental, it may be your only choice, just don't expect to be using that shield in Act 5 (you have Lord of Destruction right?) because diamond filled items are about as useless in that act as anything.
What I usually do with helms and shields is pump them with gems I see fit that I need at that time. I call them my "expendable" armor, unless I find something really good, I just keep helms and shields to up my resistences and etc. they aren't very useful articles of armor anyway, since they don't add that much to your armor rating and later on the block for the shield is completely useless.

You're in Act 4, so if you can't find perfect diamonds, fill your shield with topazes, saphires, and rubies, the three main attacks they use in Act 4 are lighting (this is Diablo's primary element) cold (Diablo uses it to some extent, and most of the mage knights too) and fire (surprisingly, Diablo uses very little of this, but most of the monsters in Act 4 use alot).

[troop18546]

Firstly, it's a little early for me to talk about runewords, let alone Act5, cause I don't have LoD.
Second, I already found a double socket boneshield and filled it with a flawless diamond and amethyst, I found a double socket helm and filled it with a flawless skull and amethyst.
I am using a Loath Thirst Blade unique 46-65 damage. My resistances are: F38; C42; L46; P32;
I have mana regenerating like crazy and health restoring quite nicely.

I am surprised at how you can develop a char like mine without any hacks in a short time (unless you play nonstop for hours). I just don't understand how you play RPG's, people.

Anyway, I waited long for a single trade, but, since noone showed up, I just used up lots of good gems.
Oh well - only less than 300000 exp to next lvl.

P.S. What the hell is exp for a level 90 to 91? 300 billion points??? I don't get it how anyone could get to levels 60, let alone 99. :huh:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Yeah, it's alot, but monsters later on give you loads of EXP in Hell difficulty.

And I have LoD, I can't imagine myself going back to ordinary D2, buy LoD and then you can meet up with my character, otherwise the game won't let us play.

EDIT: Your character isn't the best I've seen, if you can't beat Diablo by yourself :P
I have one Paladin, level 31, that does 450-1300 damage with Holy Freeze enabled at all times, Holy Freeze damaging aura does about 34-56, and Zeal, and I can put Zeal as my primary attack because he has a 50% mana leech, which makes him a death dealer.

[/b]

I don't have an original LoD, so no go. I can only just slowly build exp now and hope that the spear will come in handy. BTW, original D2 is more hardcore than LoD. There you have much more money, more sockets, weapons do more damage and stuff like that, so I think it's kinda sissy to say that my char ain't standin' a chance - I mean it's D himself (although, if there were normal saves, I would've kicked his a55 a long time ago).

I just thought that I would've unlocked all of the skills by atleast 1 point in each near the end of the game, but now that is just a spike in my pants. Grrrr... I could use an earlier save for sh1t like this, but I would be bored going through the same levels again, maybe I have one here, but I've found some good stuff since then so - I don't think so.

I don't know if it would kill you to use D2 instead of LoD to meet me online, though... :unsure:

[Blood-Pigggy]

I have LoD installed on my PC, I can't roll back the changes, and I'm not uninstalling it.

Ordinary Diablo is hardly more hardcore than LoD, LoD has a ton of skills people use to glide through the game tuned down, like the Barbarian's stupid Whirlwind.

I'm now thinking of getting back out to reclaim my corpse at the Chaos Sanctuary, cause one of the mini bosses killed me. Only 50K till next lvl, but I've gone through all of that sh1t almost onto Diablo (all seals are open). I don't think I'll go back cause the friggin' damage is tremendous. Those demons are all fast fire-breathing m0th3r*meep*3r5. I don't know if I could stand that anymore.

P.S. Why didn't those idiots in Blizzard make a normal friggin' saving option??? I have to go through all that again if it doesn't work out in the first place. :wallbash: :titan:

[Blood-Pigggy]

You don't have to go through all of it, what's done is already done, unless you save and exit, but then your corpse just reappears in town.

[Scatty]

You can create even with LoD a classic character, with which you can join and play then in games created by other classic characters. As for the fire-breathing Pit Lords / Venom Lords at Chaos Sanctuary, revives are exactly the right shield to stop then from reaching you which allows you to pummel them with bone spear or like.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Well, I don't want to play ordinary D2.

Hey troop18546, I'm reaching the 94...I've got 2.500.000.000 exp points...you need 3.500.000.000 to reach 99..
It's impossible to reach it in single player...
Gems and runes are useless...if you have a great set like Griswold or Immortal king use jewels.. make special combination with strong rare jewels..it's amazing...
But you have to work on it...because it's very difficult...
Example:
I've got this one:

+17%Damage
+1-61 Lightning damage
+33 Defense
+6Strenght

Or this..

+10 Min Damage
+9 Strenght
+2 Dex
+1Mana For each kill

And other...if you use them 2 or 3 times you can create combination...
The first one x3 is powerful than an Ohm+4Ort+Pul+2Fal...capito?(you have all that runes in 3 holes!)

[troop18546]

I am not gonna start through even act4 again - no patience and all the best stuff I collected would be gone - F it. I'm lvl 28 Necro now and I tagged that spear skill (only 1 point, better than nothing). I realised that the Necro is hardest to flaw-out especially how I was making him. First of all - curses depend on any other melee attack, be it me or my raised undead, second - summons are good only when there are bodies or items to make them, so that's a bit weak, third - poison and bone spells provide much power for my good damage dealing with the projectile bonespear.
I am gonna move to openb.net to improve my char and provide him with skillpoints for BoneSpear and PoisonNova (provided I have the time).
I have a LoD copy (not bought, no cd-key for months, so no MP), but I think I could use it on my original D2 to have much more stash and to get runes or such, but I wanna complete the game and buy an original LoD, so this will be put to a halt, till I complete D2 normally.
Scatty, that's exactly the demon that killed me when I was so close to D's final battle, but then again - it was very late so I had to choose "save and exit". I hate it when I have to go through the same level again and again to come to the CS, when there could be a normal save, like in D1, where I can watch over and over again at bleeding D. F'ing D2 fans ruined this for me. Grrrr...
Well, I hope I can raise those 700K for lvl29 and atleast have 2 points in BS. Then, another 800K for the lvl30. Till then. :ph34r:

EDIT: Scratch that, I'm thinkin' of buying LOD today (I'm still amazed at the cost), but the fact that it enhances D2 is the primary solution of me buying it.

EDIT2: I have LOD. I now have all of Blizzard's Diablo Series games (except for Hellfire).

EDIT3: WOOOHOOO!!! DIABLO IS HISTORY!!! I had to resort to scavenger hunting, but in one openb.net game I found a very powerful weapon lying on the ground and some good armor. D was killed after I had been dead over 20 times. :w00t:

[Himmler]

wow...well you'd better find some help on open bnet

[Scatty]

Actually, you even better play in closed bnet, there you can find lots of help and items are being given away often, too. And the majority of D2 players is located in closed bnet, in open there're only few, and many of them just cheaters who play through character+items editor and have all "mega-gozu" and edited overmaxed items.

Yeah, I noticed that - a pity. Still, I play on both of the b.nets. I would like to get some flawless gems so that I could make perfect ones from them, I need to meet on openb.net to do that, though... Scatty - do you play on open? I could trade with you.
P.S. experience grows quick in actV, but the 4th quest is a major pain, also the 3rd one. There are too many tough enemies in groups attacking me!!! :wallbash:

BTW, himmler - I did... LOL read the posts.

No sorry, I don't play on open battle-net so I don't really have anything to offer you. However as I'm familiar with Hero Editor I could create some character with useful (legal) items for you, or you could even do the same yourself. Just download latest Hero Editor here: d2sector.net (http://www.d2sector.net/downloads/index.php?act=view&id=162)
It's easy to use with some experimenting and time. Of course, with it you can make yourself god and become the mega-cheater, but it's all up to you ;)

Quest 3 in Act 5 is difficult, that's right. Again requires someone strong with good items to help you, which would be easy to find in closed b-net...

Dang, noone use open unless they cheat - crud.
P.S. That's cheating man (the hero editor), no way... :whistling:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Yeh Troop, if you need any good items or ruins I have a few I could give you, it's easy to find people willing to distribute items for free or for a very low price.

I need an amn rune and skulls. If you could meet me on open b.net, that would be great.
I've scored a massive gold deposit (from 200K it maxed out to 800K when I reached lvl31). I now have about 300K there. I also was very fortunate today, scoring runes gems rares and uniques and killing monsters in the first 4 areas of the game (killed all). Now I am very near lvl32. Heh... I'm proud of myself. :max:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Keep playing on Closed buddy, it's more rewarding than Open, just keep playing with me and we'll get you to Nightmare mode where the real fun starts.

[/b]

Yeah right... :(
I'm almost at the end of the expansion ( I was fighting those 3 barbarian ancients, but I failed to heal myself quick after 10 encounters and died). Only the last two quests remain and I can venture into nightmare with a good character (I put 3pts in bonespear, doesn't do that much damage, but the next 2lvl will improve it - I only got one skill in teeth, corpse explosion and bone armor, all other skill trees are amlost complete).
I will keep playing on both, although it's much more fun on SP, because of my char - I rock there.
BTW - what does Anya mean by "personalising" an item of my choosing? All it does is add my name to the item. That's just writing my name on that - i can do that with a pen. :blink:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Uh no, Closed is more rewarding, you just aren't taking the time, which is irritating. Level up your character instead of fooling around in Open.

I must've confused you - I ain't playing on open, I'm trying to finish SP against the PC on my own, sorry I misinterpreted or smth. I'm playing SP and also MP on closed.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Oh okay.
Just play on MP more okay?

[troop18546]

Not that anyone cares, but... the Ancients are HISTORY! :max:
DIE Muthaf... DIE Muthaf... KILL!!! :titan:
We-Are-the-Greatest!!! :w00t:

*Off to ponder on Baal's death.* :sneaky:

I have to thank my fire golem for this and dumb enough AI too, for fighting him relentlessly and not minding me while I ran through two of'em with my slashes. ^_^

P.S. There is Baal in Diablo and a "Bhaal" in Baldur's Gate?? :blink:

[Blood-Pigggy]

Yep. Although the first Diablo came out in 1996, and Diablo was mentioned in the manual's backstory. Baldur's Gate was released in 1998, so sucks to Baldur's Gate.

Although both games took it from an ancient middle eastern term for god named "Ba'al" look it up in Wikipedia.
The ancients are easier if you have a fast character will lots of health, like a Zeal Paladin or Frenzy Barbarian.

I will check it out. About the Ancients - yeah, I had to use up lots of potions to kill one dope cause he was poisoning me like crazy, but eventually it was all over.

[troop18546]

Sorry for these double-posts, but...

I'VE FINISHED THE GAME!!! :brain:
I've been entitled as "Slayer". It sounds kinda cool - "Slayer Vaidotas". :ph34r: Ooh yeah... :sneaky:
I rock baby! :brain:


P.S. I gotta say though that I kinda was dissapointed by Baal. He kept running away and stuff, and I had to punish him with my lvl1 fire golem with Baal all listening to Iron Maiden. I whooped him good.
Umm... I guess Nightmare >:) is next.
