This thread is as good as it gets. I know hardcore isn't for everyone. I just refuse to play anything else. I've made four characters and when they die I am done. Come experience the game the way it should be played!

Paladin is a great option. You'll have huge defense and some nice team auras. Most people go hammerdin late game, but I prefer a zeal/sacrifice build. Also, I'd like to point out that you will probably die at some point. The worst thing you could ever do is taking an unknown portal. It's important that you mule items over to other characters because ultimately items are what really makes your characters, leveling is easy enough. I can provide a mumble if people are interested in grouping up and sharing/caring.

e: all characters are good, you just need to spec appropriately for HC.

I wanted to try a Zeal/Holy Freeze build, is that still viable?

I've never tried that before, but gently caress it, try it out. Just look at the synergies for the skill and plan accordingly. You can respec each time you do the den of evil, anyways.

Someone was asking about DarkD3 in community chat. The website is down and I don't have time to find the new one. Here's a thread with links to screenshots and corresponding downloads for it though.

Is this for d2 or something?

The link to the Eastern Sun thread is an archived thread. We chatting up ES in here now or is there going to be another thread made?

I don't think anyone plays or hosts ES anymore. I will be playing some hardcore d2 tonight if anyone wants in.

gently caress the haters. Let's play some Diablo 1 with the Hellfire expansion and a fanmade 1.02a4 patch. It easily adds the hidden barbarian and bard class, expanding on the monk which is already there. Includes the hidden quests, one being a funny cow quest. Holy poo poo there is jogging in town. What the gently caress?! You don't even have to do the Hellfire dungeon/quests if you don't want to but you still get the perks like oils. Precious oils!

Has a host of bug fixes but is not meant to really impact the base experience too much because that's how I like it. :colbert:

I have been trying to get Diablo 1 to work without hosed up colors in Windows 7 all night to no avail. It runs fine, just the graphics are distorted.

I've tried every fix and hack I've found short of installing Windows XP on a virtual box and running it there, including messing with every compatibility setting, messing with my background and resolution, and closing explorer.exe out which is about the dumbest goddamn thing ever. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Uh somewhere in the fan patch I linked is a color correction registry fixer. Worked perfectly as I had rainbow colors.

Beezle looked fun and I might try it after doing my vanilla+ run through.

Reene add me to steam if you like, as Kazvall.

Add me on steam as Kazvall if you want to d2 hardcore. A lot of the dupes and exploits have been fixed and I haven't run into a single bot somehow.

Are there any good resources around for running an Eastern Sun server? I know we had a goon run one that was pretty successful. My buddy was thinking of running one but said seemed like a huge pain.

I've never actually played Eastern Sun. I would definitely be interested in trying if you guys get something up.

Started some D2 hardcore up over the weekend, last time I played was before D3 was released. Got to lvl 56 on my light sorc and ripped to Stygian doll corpse explosions in the durance of hate. I had been kiting away from their death animation with teleport but a group of them exploding caught me and my corpse was on the ground a screen away from theirs after the TP. New char tonight, might try single player so I can turn on players 8 and make it go a bit faster. Just got insight and spirit cooking too...

You're fighting the good fight. Was there a new ladder recently?

Kazvall
Mar 20, 2009

I prefer NOT to use Energy Shield on my hardcore sorcs. It works fantastically 90% of the time. However, the second you get to mana burn monsters, you are hosed. Like, SUPER hosed. You have no Vit to fall back on. :(

My contingency for this is a near balance of Hp and mana, rather than a blue piece of hard candy with a dot of red jelly inside.

Sadly no matter what you do some form of Stygian Doll is going to own your rear end in the durance or the last level of worldstone.

I always say "this time I'm not going to get pled by bots". It never happens. Then I'm like level 85 in one day with no gear to actually fight anything with.

Well, I mean you're preaching to the choir here. I tried real hard to get into d3 but keep coming back to d2. I only play HC, though.

Kazvall
Mar 20, 2009

Sign me up to play for the new ladder. If we get enough goons, and hop on enough bot games, we could be level 80ish in like... 4-5 hours.

It's basically a rush to 20-25 so you can do normal ancients and actually get exp from normal baal runs.

drat its the 26th? I'm guessing servers won't be reset until later?

Also I believe we are playing hardcore. And since its a new ladder, almost no one will have top items for a long time if ever.

Once you play hc you can't actually go back to vanilla.

Besides Obscurity and I, who is playing or wants to play? I can rush people now. Its best to get 24 first and then get 25 on ancients so you can go right to Baal runs.

You can use the d2jsp forums for trading. It's so late in the season that poo poo is dirt cheap. That's unless you want to experience the grind by yourself.

I was looking at itemnow.com there is an ebugged exile for like $2.00, and as much as I play I think it would be worth it. Problem is, I'm incredibly sceptical of sites like these.

I've never actually been ripped off by any of those sites. I played a couple seasons ago, and got some items, but sadly can't remember who I used. You'll buy the items, the mule will be loaded up with the items, then you'll have the option for that bot to make a game, and then drop all the items when you're in the game.

Itemnow.com delivered without any issues. Their claim for 24/7 delivery is a bit exaggerated, but still only took slightly over 24 hours.

Has anyone heard, or know where I can find when the next ladder reset is coming? I've heard rumors sometime in May, but I haven't been able to find anything.

It's every 6 months. So, sometime around May/June.

Wouldn't surprise me if that company has a closely guarded dupe hack. I like to tinfoil hat it up and think its a blizzard employee behind it all. Its also pretty insane at the bot networks people have set up. On d2jsp people advertise 1-99 leveling jobs within a weeks time and have 100-300 dtoches for sell quite often. The amount of accounts needed to run that poo poo is mind boggling.

It's not duping. It's just botting. Not really hard to come home from work with an inventory full of gear.

Is d2jsp and their weird forum gold thing the only game in town for trading these days? I'm playing through the game again with a friend for old times sake and we're running into the gear wall in Hell difficulty. Considering mayyyybe re-rolling on the ladder since we happened to pick the game back up right before the reset, but I don't really know the point of doing that unless there is an active community out there to barter with...

Yes, and non-ladder items are much cheaper. But, 90% of people play ladder. So, it'll be hard to trade your non-ladder items to get gold in the first place. You should ALWAYS play the ladder unless you have a character that's like 90+ you're already working on.

Rip'd last night at level 83 after making a Hoto earlier in the day with that vex. Got a little too drunk and careless, gear was getting pretty dank too.



Goondolences. I died the other day on my HC Sorc, with 800+ MF, in the loving Pit of all places. Lightning enchanted archers on level 2 poofed my merc with perfect gear, instantly, and I followed shortly after.
