Diablo 2: The Brother (And Sister)hood of EoFF

[VorpalCyberWolf]

Computer sucks, life distracting... from this point forward I am inactive unless by appointment. Lunar, if you would keep my chars alive I would be grateful. Ill be back, and Ill probably still post in here, but I figured I owe you guys an FYI.

[LunarWeaver]

But Koast and Chimney are the only two people who can stand me long enough to play characters D: With neither around, I have nothing :crying2:

I will keep your peeps alive, but I hope you come back ;-;

How to Kill Meph

By making him an idiot

Likely, some of you know this trick already. However, for those that don't, I thought to pass such knowledge on.


What it is:
Undoubtedly, you are familiar with most (if not all) locations of the Diablo world. And so, as you likely recall, Mephisto lies at the bottom his Durance of hate, which happens to have a lovely pool and moat of blood. There is a bridge of corpses and bones that rises from this marvelous pool (when you come close to it), leading to the pulsing, spectral red vagina (sometimes called a portal - or if Lunar, replace "vagina" with "rectum").

Basically, you train our wonderful friend Meph to the rising pathway, as we teleport to the nearest ledge. Meph will then simply stand there and make noise, while we cast Meteor / Blizzard / Fist of the Heavens / Lightning / etc...

All the while, Meph sits there and stares malignantly at us, but does absolutely nothing to show that his noise is anything but frustration at his AI being terribly stunted.

So, in other words, we make Meph stationary - stupid.


How to do it:

Prerequisites
Need the skill Teleport
Need a ranged attack / skill

The steps are really quite simple:

1. Teleport to Meph
2. Lead him to the rising bridge
3. Teleport to the nearest ledge (by Teleporting across the moat)
4. Burn / freeze / zap / attack the idiot until dead

And that's it.


Obviously, since you are completely safe where you stand, this allows the player to stack a ridiculous amount of Magic Find items on their character.

Yes, with a well-built Hammerdin, Trapper, etc... you could do this with less steps and less time, but right now, we're all quite poor. Safety is nice.


Here is a video of such a trick being used (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seTqbaxN5tE)

I made a character on Standard Hardcore just to get on the Ladder :bigsmile:


I had totally forgotten that they used to have a option "Let this character loot your corpse." It's by like whisper and squelch and all that in your party menu. Lol, that's funny to me. So is the old stash size *shivers*

[Nominus Experse]

Look what I found...

And yes, I was also a Sorceress.

[Tavrobel]

Maybe I should update/upload my armory once more.

Just so I can make fun of each and every one of you.

EDIT: Valinoreva is now my second Ladder account, not Valarauko.

[LunarWeaver]

I need a fucking Sol rune :mad2: I tried trading my Hel for it, but nobody would bite. Not surprising, since everybody and their uncle seems to need a Sol lately.

[Nominus Experse]

Are you using a program to record your items Tav?

And oh my... a +3 Passive and Magic skills ammy... I would complain about you having a gargantuan ego-head, but my god, that doesn't withhold me from loving you.

Dammit, I need to play this game more often than I have been...

[Tavrobel]

Yes, it's called the "PrintScreen" key, Photoshop, and a paper and pencil.

You all need to play this game more often. the second highest person is Lunar!

[CimminyCricket]

I have a life.

[Giga Guess]

I'm gonna start logging on...but people will need to be patient with me. My connection here isn't as consistent as my old one was.

[LunarWeaver]

I have a life.

Well, you can stop that nonsense right now and have no life at all like me this instant.

[Tavrobel]

I have a life.

If you want items, you will give it up.

[SeeDRankLou]

Unless you can find a way for Diablo 2 to produce vodka you're going to have to live with it. :tongue:

[CimminyCricket]

Thank you!

[LunarWeaver]

[CimminyCricket]

[LunarWeaver]

Get on so I can transfer things or I might.

[Nominus Experse]

I'm going to make a Kamikaze Druid just to piss the PvP community off.

[CimminyCricket]

xD

[Tavrobel]

You are all freaks.

[Markus. D]

s'ok Tavvy.

don't think yourself lower :3 you can be a freak too :333

[LunarWeaver]

I still think three of us should get together and make a thorns paladin, iron maiden necromancer, and spirit of barbs druid. We can all ourselves The Three Masochiteers.

I actually want to make a summoner druid built like a glass cannon. Tons of dexterity and give him a bow. Then while my puppies hit stuff I can shoot things. I'd need a bow with special properties like a Buriza or something... Hmm.

[Nominus Experse]

That build is called a Dark Ranger.

It was very effective in older patches (from what I read and am told)

[Tavrobel]

Many builds were effective in old patches.

[Nominus Experse]

How/why did the newer patches fuck so many things over? I thought patches were supposed to balance and refine particular aspects of the game, not nerf builds...

So what exactly happened? I've only been here since 1.11b.

[Tavrobel]

Pre-1.09 (or technically, 1.10), Hell was significantly easier. However, when Blizzard introduced Synergies, they felt it was necessary to increase difficulty of Hell mode; in order to survive, one had to take advantage of Synergies.

This was done in an effort to reduce a number of Uber-builds, especially giving use to investing points into lower-grade spells that could be replaced easily: for example, to opt not to use Frozen Orb over Blizzard, or Grizzly over Wolves. The ones that they were concerned with especially, were Whirlwind and Corpse Explosion; and adding synergies, in theory, was to increase the number of viable builds.

How wrong they were! When they increased Hell's diffculty, it was found that only skills using Synergies would survive. Those builds which were found to be able to survive are the ones being used today. Now you can't have a Chain/Orb/Hydra Sorceress, anymore, it's now Meteor/Orb.

Seems like 1.10 was meant to fix things, but it went horribly wrong. They tried to add builds, but wound up reducing them to a bare minimum, even destroying half of the techtrees on current characters. they tried to reduce SoJ duping, in order to get rid of SoJ duping and Nagel/Manald abuses (this order was abolished in 1.08), but SoJs were duped even more so.

They even tried to accomodate mod-maker users, but wound up persecuting them even more fiercely.

And the original makers of the game had left. Things just seemed to go all wrong.

In 1.09, they also added the Ladder, and exponentially decreasing EXP gain past level 80.

[Nominus Experse]

Wow...

That's all I can really say. Do they ever fucking test what they make/change?

[Tavrobel]

Well, the makers of the game (original team) left some time before the completion of 1.09. 1.10 was a completely new scab team recruited in order to keep interest in Diablo II high. Suffice it to say, they had no idea what they were doing.

[Nominus Experse]

I see. That would explain the torch... among other things.

[LunarWeaver]

They increased the difficulty of hell by a ton and added synergies. The synergies made some skills capable in hell and others not so much.

For instance, traps used to be completely awful. They did like 200 damage and nobody used them; everybody used Martial sins instead. But when synergies were introduced, traps suddenly did thousands of damage. So when the enemies in hell got harder and the Martial tab was left completely as it was with no boost, the balance was effectively reversed.

So in short Hell just used to be much, much easier, so you could get away with doing silly little builds.

Edit: Yeah, what Tavrobel said.

[Tavrobel]

Martial Sins are still fairly viable. But traps are indeed far more popular.

[LunarWeaver]

Oh yeah, they're still capable and everything. I only used it as an example because it was the easiest I could think of I guess.

[Tavrobel]

The two easiest ones are Corpse Explosion and Whirlwind. Those two skills alone made the game broken.

If you'd ever check the old Ladder (1.09), the very top was always Barb/Necro.

I remember old Corpse Explosion. It used to do something close to 1100% of Corpse life in /players 8.

[LunarWeaver]

I remember at one point Corpse Explosion's radius was totally absurd :lol: It hit for like 500 screens in every direction. Ah, that was forever ago though.

I'm still upset they put a timer on Dragon Flight and didn't put one on the Sorc's teleport. :bigsmile:

[Tavrobel]

That's because Dragon Flight did damage, which made it own.

[LunarWeaver]

It's still a level 24 skill that only hits one person at a time and requires an enemy for it to work. Maybe if she teleported multiple times, like hitting 3-4 enemies at level 20, I could see a timer, but...They just killed it.

...They killed it :whimper:

[Tavrobel]

That's Blizzard for ya!

[LunarWeaver]

:crying2:!!!

[CimminyCricket]

Help me transfer!!

[Markus. D]

Diablo II should learn off the people who did Guild Wars couple hundred skills.

[CimminyCricket]

Help me transfer!!

[LunarWeaver]

I did help you :bigsmile:


I almost feel bad for anybody who didn't buy the Expansion. Their hell became harder, too, but they didn't get any of the new pretty items we did to help them deal with it. It'd be impossible for underpowered builds to pull through in Standard hell. Of course, that was probly Blizz's plan in the first place.

I say almost because anybody who still hasn't upgraded to the Expansion by now is pretty dumb, though.

[Tavrobel]

A warning for all members: if anyone, so much as tries to mention the existence or attempts to discuss the Fluffy Puff forum skin whilst I am online, or in this thread, be forewarned that I will block you on every source possible and have your posts deleted.

This is not the place to discuss ShlupQuack, nor even feign respect for her nor her carapace. If anyone so much as tries to do so, they will be blocked, cut off, ignored, squelched, and then left to die.

Though I tolerate the use of the skin, be aware that this is a private matter, and in no way should be discussed or spread amongst the population. Any and all reports of thanking PMs to Shlup will be met with brutal and humiliating force. Worship of Psychotic, Levian, Yamaneko, Zeromus_X, Samuraid, and/or cl_out is acceptable.

That is all.

[SeeDRankLou]

So I shouldn't post in a Fluffy Puff thread, make a Fluffy Puff thread, use the Fluffy Puff skin, say how awesome the Fluffy Puff skin is, mention the Fluffy Puff skin at all, say how awesome ShlupQuack is, or mention my like of or anything about the color pink in this thread, lest......you throw a hissy fit? :tongue:

[Tavrobel]

Yes.

You're not getting this in context, though. Lunar will tell the story.

You are free to use it as long as I don't know that you are using it.

[SeeDRankLou]

I was just messing with you man. :D I got the picture.

[CimminyCricket]

My fault.

[Tavrobel]

My fault.

Who the fuck are you?

[CimminyCricket]

I'm the one who went on for 5 minutes about how much I love using Fluffy Puff. Fluffy Puff will not be tolerated. The New World Order rises.

[Tavrobel]

I hope I don't get in trouble for double posting.

[CimminyCricket]

What are you talking about? xD

FLUFFY PUFF FTW

[Nominus Experse]

Oh, and a surprising thing:
Just in case you are unable to discern lag, everyone and anyone in a game will all type out either "lag", "lagg", or "laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggg", just in case you missed it.

I am glad the great b.net god is so very kind to reveal such revelations.

[Tavrobel]

Fortunately, for you, you can still send/receive /f m messages if the game is not about to drop or disconnect.

I heart this very much. Mucho heart. And it's better that the same people do it the same way every lag spike :lol:

[Tavrobel]

Wow, this gets real boring in this thread if I don't actually play online. You bunch of wimps.

[CimminyCricket]

We talk online, why are you bitching?

[Markus. D]

spending wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much time together.

it's been a good long year or so now :D?

[Nominus Experse]

This game is a bore, and seems to be played largely by people that have the cognitive capacity of a cantaloupe.

Someone tell - or even better, prove - me otherwise.

Or has my addiction finally come to an end?

[Markus. D]

Because when it comes to online games people treat it like the next step up from Runescape (though Diablo II LoD is like a bullion times better)... And they still have those awful inflictions on them perhaps?

[CimminyCricket]

I'll play this until I go to boot camp, then, I'll move onto Never Winter Nights 2.

[LunarWeaver]

I'm only interested in it when I have somebody to play through nightmare and hell with. With Koast already gone and Vietnom fizzling, once Chimney leaves I'll probly just pack it up again.

[Nominus Experse]

Blizzard needs to release a "Common Diablo II player" patch that fixes all the bugs and annoyances.

But, knowing Blizzard, that will likely backfire.

[LunarWeaver]

If they ever do release another patch, everything will just be flipped like always and all annoyances will remain. All the underpowered stuff will become overpowered, and the overpowered stuff will start to suck. It's what happens everytime they try and balance things.

Just look at Blessed Hammer. It used to do lots of damage and everybody used it for a short period of time. I'm talking, like, pre-Expansion. Then they nerfed it and it was horrible. But they didn't want nobody to use it, so they gave it a boost with Synergies and made it too strong again. They just can't seem to nail it o_o

Probably. Can't you see her butch figure and short hair?

Most of them have been dead for a couple hundred years.

Actually, that makes sense, since they are both in AIII. Ormus, a mage, likely comes from the same origin as the Council members. If his aging process were slowed by his magic (not a far cry), then he could have been, at one point, a Council member himself, before it was corrupted. It makes sense, since he is so out of it and awkward. He is familiar with Paladins (obviously). What skill did they have on them?

She probably dropped it.

Sanders is the KFC Colonel. Baal gets hungry sometimes, you know. Sanders can just buy himself a new pair. Preferably Italian in make, as the Colonel has good taste.

Nom, you've had sex more often than any of us in this thread. You should be the first person to know why.

Depends on who with. Those rogues and succubi aren't all evil, you know.

No. Shaman King Koth, who was Leonidas in a previous life, repelled Diablo and his minions from assaulting Mount Arreat in ages past. therefore, the outcome is that he won, and cannot be compared to Sparta.

[Nominus Experse]

I think Ormus and Mephisto are gay lovers, and the whole quest involving Meph's defeat is simply Ormus using the player as a means of sticking it to him.

Ormus didn't get enough sex and/or flowers from Mephisto. That's why Meph had Ormus' Robes. He secretly smelled them while in his dark, dank Durance.

Or something.

[Flying Mullet]

Every time I think I begin to understand the story in D2 something else emerges and I realize how little I know...

[CimminyCricket]

So says the guy who coined the term, "Cain's Butt Pinch of Death"

XD

[LunarWeaver]

Enough! *slams fist on table* When are we going to discuss the serious problem of Malah?! She's ruining everything. Why does she keep Resistance scrolls from us? LEVERAGE. Why does she only heal us when we come to her? LAZY. Why is that barbarian outside her house constantly dying when she can fully restore us in an instant? SADISM. Why do all of her items cost more than my stash even holds? GREED. Why does she give the Sorceress a special greeting? POWER HUNGRY. Something must be done. :mad2:

[CimminyCricket]

We get her to go out with Cain.

[Nominus Experse]

Anyone know if you can convert the Shared Stash of PlugY (.sss) to a ATMA stash (.d2x) file?

[CimminyCricket]

I don't even know what any of those are.

[Tavrobel]

Maybe if you have an extensive knowledge of Diablo II coding and structure, and third-parties involved.

[CimminyCricket]

Depending on how they work, if linking to other programs is at least slightly the same (and you have both programs), find out where it sends for a link to the program you don't want to use and switch it with the program you want.

Again, assuming it works anything like html in the slightest.

[Tavrobel]

Again, assuming it works anything like html in the slightest.

No. DII works more like C languages, if it isn't written in it.

[Fonzie]

I wasn't kidding.

Neither was I.

[Tavrobel]

Do it, Del! I can see you reading this thread!

[CimminyCricket]

XD That's what your mom said

[Markus. D]

Okay. back on topic folks.


Anything new of late in the world of Dia II?

[CimminyCricket]

No, not at all, I won't play until I get back from boot camp.

[Nominus Experse]

There are now more bots.
That's about it.

No one wants to play this game anymore, so they employ there computers to do it for them.

[Markus. D]

So it's sorta like FFXII :]?

[Nominus Experse]

No, worse.

Set up a few scripts (most of which are premade at various sites), start the .exe, and then walk away.
You return in a month, and behold! You have all the items you would ever want and/or need.

There are also bots made to perform Baal runs. Start it, walk away, come back and your character has grown a level.

[CimminyCricket]

I tried to use one, but it sucked.

So I started playing.

[Nominus Experse]

You only say it sucked because you couldn't figure out how to use it.

[LunarWeaver]

Le gasp! This your mom business should not be blamed on me but on Malah as all things should be. Goddamn you, old woman. *punches Malah in the face*

Bots are boo.

I need spears on Non-Ladder. Anybody whoring all the Non-Ladder stuff needs to give me some spear action.

[Markus. D]

No, not at all, I won't play until I get back from boot camp.

Are you Hilda from Guild Wars by any chance?

[Nominus Experse]

Tav seems to have a miniature economy, so speak to him. His rather large head (a common side effect from massive wealth) will likely make you bow and grovel first though.

Speaking of which, I still owe Tav my firstborn...

I have lots of non-ladder stuff that you're more than welcome to. Just ping me on MSN when you're on.

Me too...Tav has a lot of firstborns coming to him.

[LunarWeaver]

I knew that one day I would regret being too lazy to collect all your Non-Ladder stuff.

I tried Baldur's Gate because it is often compared to the Diablo series. The console Dark Alliance games maybe, but the PC ones are totally different. Maybe I'm too retarded to understand the AD&D rules that the game runs on, but I thought it was the most boring thing ever coming off the Blizzard titles. The stats you start with are pretty much all you ever get, and everybody is too similar :(. And the spell casters that can only cast something so many times before they must go to town and rest. Let's all picture being able to cast Frozen Orb 3 times before you have to go sleep at an inn and get it back.

Great Jubbah, I really will have to get Hellgate: London to satisfy my aches.





I have lots of non-ladder stuff that you're more than welcome to. Just ping me on MSN when you're on.

Oh noes, I deleted MSN from this compy a long time ago :cry:

[Nominus Experse]

Titan Quest is a good thing to sate your hack n slash urges.

Sacred Gold is also another option.

[CimminyCricket]

Never played any of them.

[LunarWeaver]

I think I've heard of Titan Quest. I had totally forgotten about it, though. Hmm, I will try it out and see what's what.

Right now I'm downloading slowly buying another Diablo rip-off called Divine Divinity (worse title ever but let us not judge). If I don't like it, I'll totally get Titan Quest.

I also slowly bought Starcraft about a week ago. It's actually quite fun. I'm only on Episode II of the game's scenarios and it's already too hard for me though. I'm a baby when it comes to real-time strategy games.

If all else fails, I'll just have to buy Marvel Alliance. X-Men Legends II copied so heavily off of Diablo II I honestly think that Blizzard could win a case against them in court. 4cereal. I expect Marvel Alliance is probably the same, so what can ya do. Spider-Man instead of Amazons.

[Flying Mullet]

I have lots of non-ladder stuff that you're more than welcome to. Just ping me on MSN when you're on.

I posted MSN because that's what's in your profile. Feel free to hit me up on any of the IMs in my profile.

[CimminyCricket]

Yeah, I lost half of my non-ladder mules cause I didn't care enough about them to log in and perm them XD I had a Lycander's thingy, but I didn't tell him that.

[LunarWeaver]

And now he'll never know! OOOOHOHOHOHO.


I posted MSN because that's what's in your profile. Feel free to hit me up on any of the IMs in my profile.

I knew I'd regret being too lazy to take that out of my profile.

[Nominus Experse]

An odd thing happened today:

I painted a window earlier this week, but then realized that I had basically painted the window shut - effectively making it a wall with glass in it. So today, in an attempt to once again open the window, I pushed and shoved, punched and threw my weight up against the window, trying desperately to once again make the window, well, a window.

I had moved it up about 2mm when suddenly I found my hand on the other side of the window. Right before my life began draining out of me in a rapid vermilion torrent, I thought,

"Damn, they should have the windows in the Monastery shatter. That'd be rather... neat."

And then I bled everywhere as I looked for a first aid kit that apparently does not exist in my abode. So I ran to my neighbor's house, asking if I could get some gauze. Lo and behold!, they don't have one either. However, they did have some Carefree Maxipads, and so I took one of those and kept it secured via a massive butterfly bandage.

As the pad absorbed my blood, I vaguely recalled watching countless commercials detailing how well these pads absorb moisture. Most people don't experience PMS of their hand, but meh...


But I must say, theres nothing more priceless than greeting my girl with a bloodied Maxipad strapped to my hand, complete with blood dribbling down my arm and being flicked every which way as I wave.

[CimminyCricket]

Maxipads ftw.

[Flying Mullet]

Most people don't experience PMS of their hand, but meh...
xD

[CimminyCricket]

xD

That's exactly what your mom said.

[Flying Mullet]

At least she enjoyed herself.

[CimminyCricket]

That's true.

[SeeDRankLou]

So.....yeah.....

Does anyone know why I don't have any 3D sound options in the Sound Options part of the menu? Here's what happened....

When I installed Windows Vista, everything went fine except that Creative had not released any Vista compatible drivers, and Microsoft didn't have any compatible drivers for the X-Fi Xtreme Music Platinum Soundblaster card, so I was stuck with this basic sound driver that gave me monaural sound. And thus the 3D sound options in D2 didn't work, understandably so. However, Creative finally came out with some new drivers and software, I installed them and sound is working just fine now. However, the 3D sound options in D2 still are not accessible. Is there anything to be done about this? Do I need to un- and re-install D2 or something weird like that?

[CimminyCricket]

I think you need to get rid of Vista.

[SeeDRankLou]

Vista can run a program in an XP environment, so this is not the answer.

[Nominus Experse]

If I end up with rather bizarre errors, I usually reinstall Diablo.

It takes a bit of time due to all the CD-swapping, but sometimes it's a better solution in terms of time.

[CimminyCricket]

Do any of you remember how whenever I'd get lucky in D2 I'd say, "Fuck it I'm going to the casino"?

Well, today I actually went to the casino.

Never again.

[Nominus Experse]

Please elaborate. I want to hear of your misfortune.

[CimminyCricket]

87$ on penny slots.

[Flying Mullet]

Penny and nickle slots are big money guzzlers now that you can bet up to 45 coins or whatnot. I like playing "old-fashioned" slot machines that only have one line that you can bet 1-3 nickels on.

[CimminyCricket]

I was only betting 25 coins xD

[LunarWeaver]

NM Meph refused to drop me a Bartuc's (I have like a million now but that's not the point) and it was pissing me off. The voice that speaks to me said, "Maybe you're just retarded and you thought NM Meph had a good drop rate for that item but doesn't. P.S. celery sucks."

Well, it turns out NM Meph does have the highest drop rate for Bartuc's, so smurf you Meph. But anyway, since SOJs are nice to have and nice as trade items, I ran a calculation for that too. I knew normal Diablo was up there, but I didn't know he was second.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i29/LunarWeaver/SOJCalculations.jpg

Those calculations are using my Non-Ladder MF'ers Magic Find, but it doesn't matter if you're wearing 0% or 1 billion percent, the list will remain consistent of course. NM Duriel and Andariel are close to each other. You could run both in one game and probably turn up decent results. Not that any of you care anymore, losers.


Also lol at all your tomfoolery about hands and PMS and casinos.

[Tavrobel]

So, who is the highest for Mara's, HoZ, and CoA?

[LunarWeaver]

Mara's:
1) Hell Duriel
2) Hell Baal
3) Hell Mephisto

Herald of Zakarum:
1) Hell Cow King
2) Nightmare Baal
3) Nightmare Diablo (Hell Mephisto is right behind him though)

Isn't CoA a runeword :O

Oh yeah, I found a rare claw with 3x durability. That means the game calculated it as a unique but there was no unique version of that item -_-. I feel raped by the game when it does that to me.

[Tavrobel]

Well, I knew Duriel is up there for Unique jewelry, but Hell Cow King for HoZ? Are you serious? Wow.

You're confusing it for CoH, Chains of Honor, a +2 skills runeword with damage reduction, and +65 all resistances, Dol Um Ber Ist on a 4Os Armor. CoA is the Crown of Ages Unique Corona (I think it's a Corona), with 1-2 sockets, damage reduction, FHR, and +skills.

[LunarWeaver]

Ooh, I'm retarded, I was thinking of CoH.

The program doesn't have Crown of Ages. It's missing a few things here n' there. Ondal's Wisdom isn't in there either, which pisses me off. I guess whoever made it didn't think they were worthy. Boo to him/her.

I've always wanted the pair of Bul-Kathos swords despite them not really being that great. It's more of a for fun thing. Bul-Kathos' Tribal Children goes Threash Socket, Snapchip Shatter (who the hell is that), Pindleskin, Frozenstein, and then off into regular enemies with such a low drop rate it's insane. Not one of the bosses or Cow Kings in any difficulty is even capable of dropping it. No wonder I never see the goddamn thing. Our pal Threash Socket is also in second place for Aldur's armor. What a fellow he is!

[CimminyCricket]

Where the hell did you get that program?

Also, WTF?! We're talking about Diablo II?

[LunarWeaver]

I...honestly don't remember :< . I forgot I even had it all until I found it today in my unzipped folder. Hmm :jess:

Happy birthday, we might not have to talk about Diablo II soon!

3rd Blizzard Title Confirmed - Elly [0:09:PST]

We sort of knew this was the case, but in a Gamasutra news article (http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=14691), Blizzard's Frank Pierce (vice president of product development) has confirmed that there is a third Blizzard development team who are working on a completely new game.

When pressed for details regarding the new project, Pearce was cagey. "Team 3 is working on something really awesome. I can’t give you any hints, but it’s totally awesome."
We're guessing Diablo III, which would make sense as Blizzard had already started the game development some time ago before Blizzard North was broken up. We know that development was scrapped following the departure of of the Diablo team from Blizzard to form Flagship Studios but we understand the Blizzard team started afresh. Will BlizzCon bring news of this new title? Here's hoping! Thanks to nobbie for the news tip.

I thought it was funny the vice prez of all Blizzard would say "Totally awesome" for some reason xD.

I normally don't believe these "omg d3?!" rumors as they've been happening forever, but with Starcraft II being announced after so long, who knows, yeah?

Edit Mach IV: If you want, I can e-mail it to you, Chimney ;O

[SeeDRankLou]

Are those numbers consistent with what would happen on Ladder?

Edit: How big is the zip file? If isn't not too big, you could just attach it to a post.

[CimminyCricket]

I didn't think of that.

[Nominus Experse]

Diablo III is never coming. If even it is ever announced, it will fall through by some cataclysmic act of god.

[CimminyCricket]

Good

In truth, I never really wanted it.

[LunarWeaver]

Aww, it was too big to attach D: I just put it up on Sendspace:

Send big files the easy way with sendspace. Files too large for email attachments? No problem! (http://www.sendspace.com/file/2omikx)

The link should be healthy for a few days if anybody wants to get it. Just ignore all this hoopla that sendspace has turned my link into. Ninja advertisements!

Oh my, are Ladder drop rates different? If they are, I don't know if these match with it or not. I checked the read me, but there wasn't really anything in it about how he got these numbers. His e-mail is in there, though, so feel free to harrass the fellow. I like him because he tells me with my Magic Find NM Andy has a 3% chance to drop me an soj :> Rather it be lies or truth, it is all I desire to know.

Why no wantie Diablo III? By the time it gets here we'll probly all be dead anyway. Hm, that referenced news article says they aren't giving up on Starcraft: Ghost after all. Poor game.

[CimminyCricket]

Diablo III would suck.

[Tavrobel]

Ooh, I'm retarded, I was thinking of CoH.

The program doesn't have Crown of Ages. It's missing a few things here n' there. Ondal's Wisdom isn't in there either, which pisses me off. I guess whoever made it didn't think they were worthy. Boo to him/her.

Our pal Threash Socket is also in second place for Aldur's armor. What a fellow he is!

Yeah you were.

That's very odd, but since they are such lowly found items, they probably would not have a listing. CoA and Ondals have very high levels to not be found outside of Hell, I would imagine. Both are unique Elites.

LOL Thresh Socket. He and Pindleskin used to be the most run MF, since they were so easy to get to, and they dropped almost every item in the game. But since they have been nerfed, who knows what they can drop. List of the top five items for both, please.


Also, WTF?! We're talking about Diablo II?

Does this surprise you?

It could be that new RPG they were always talking about, which isn't DIII, but a new series altogether.

The only thing different on Ladder is the inclusion of Ladder-only items. Tyrael's armor, Andy's Visage, etc.


Why no wantie Diablo III? By the time it gets here we'll probly all be dead anyway. Hm, that referenced news article says they aren't giving up on Starcraft: Ghost after all. Poor game.

Because the original team won't be making it. I don't want another WoW.

[CimminyCricket]

^_^ World of Warcraft is surprisingly more fun than I had originally predicted.

[LunarWeaver]

It does worry me Bill and such wouldn't be working on a Diablo III, but the foundation is already pretty laid. All they have to do is rename the characters to something like "Ninja" instead of Assassin, give them new skills and new things to kill, and then slap a 3 on it and it's done! Although I suppose at this point it's natural to expect more from Blizzard and this franchise than just a normal sequel with little innovation.


It could always be a new franchise, but I still can't help but hope it's III. Maybe they've recruited fresh blood as good as the old team by now. You people are making me into the hopeful one! I demand I get to be the cynic this instant.

[Giga Guess]

^_^ World of Warcraft is surprisingly more fun than I had originally predicted.

You're one of them now. You must die. It's for the betterment of the world.

[Nominus Experse]

Cim was a Paladin user: he was already lost, Giga.

[CimminyCricket]

I never said it was better in any way than DII, I just said it was more fun than I thought it'd be.

And I've already converted to druids.

[Tavrobel]

Right. *sarcasm*

[CimminyCricket]

It's true! I've already converted the person who let me play it to Disgaea.

Greatest thing he ever said, "Man, I have a raid tomorrow but...I'm going to have to say fuck it and play me some Disgaea. Fuck you, Ed."

[Giga Guess]

I never said it was better in any way than DII, I just said it was more fun than I thought it'd be.

And I've already converted to druids.

I'm sorry Cim. This is the only way. WoW is an insidious affliction, for which there's no cure. We're going to have to put you out of your misery. This can either go easy, or difficult.

[CimminyCricket]

;_;

[Nominus Experse]

Please allow me to dress Cim up for the sweet, sensual beatings.

I'm going to tie you up like a bow on a present.

[CimminyCricket]

Ooo

[LunarWeaver]

I want to play WoW, I'm just too cheap. Free things always taste better in my medulla.

P.S. Disgaea sucks.

[CimminyCricket]

I'm going to skull fuck you.

[LunarWeaver]

But I'm numb to that! You better choose a new body area. Quit discriminating against my knee caps.

[CimminyCricket]

I'll stuff sea weed up your nose and put dirt in your ears.

[LunarWeaver]

Speaking of guns like we were, Chimney is leaving for bootcamp soon! He will be gone for a big three months. Us Diablo crew should wish him good wishes!

I drew you this picture as a going away present. I know the Hammerdin is your favie fave despite what you try and say otherwise to save face. God, this picture is too good. I really should have been an artist instead of whatever mystery thing it is I do instead.

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i29/LunarWeaver/Misc-BaiBaiChimney.jpg

[CimminyCricket]

I'm touched ;_;

[Nominus Experse]

If I am wearing an item that has a "Damage Reduced" suffix, and I am a Paladin with a Thorns aura active, is the damage that the aggressor takes in any form reduced due to me taking less damage?

So, basically, is the damage the opponent receives the actual damage I receive after the Damage Reduction ___ or % is applied to the original calculation of what the damage would have been BEFORE it was reduced by X?

ie.:

Let's say an enemy would normally inflict 500 damage
If I have items that reduces damage inflicted by 50%, I obviously only receive 250 damage.

I have my Lvl 20 Thorns aura active, which is supposed to have a return of 1010% damage
Is this damage actually inflicted on my character? Or is it what the damage would have been if I DID NOT have any damage reduction?


Additionally, is there any way to multiply the suffix "Attacker Takes Damage of..."? Or is this suffix only additive?in any form reduced due to me taking less damage?


EDIT: If I have an "Enhanced Damage xxx%" modifier, is the "Attacker Takes Damage of..." suffix affected?

The Damage Reduced is applied first, if I remember it correctly. There's an order for this stuff.

If you had 50% DR against a 1000 attack and a 100% Thorns Aura, you would reflect 100% of 500, which is 500.

No. Attacker takes damage every time they successfully hit you. This number does not change, and is not affected by defense or any other mods. As such, it usually remains a low number. It's trash.

[Nominus Experse]

Damn...

I figured it would be as such. It would make a masochistic Pally far too much fun.

Blizzard only wants Lightning Sorcs and Hammerdins apparently...

[Flying Mullet]

Wow, I like the drop calculator. It makes it a lot easier to see who needs pummelin' for the goods.

[Nominus Experse]

I swear to god, I'm going to make a mod that makes it possible to have a masochistic build actually work. I want to see enemies die by hurting me.

I WANT IT DAMMIT. The Blood Moor is only so fun for a while...

[Tavrobel]

Median has a damage return Barbarian build. Max Pheonix Stance and Lightning shield, find yourself a nice Damage Return set of equipment and voila, instant victoly.

[Nominus Experse]

Done.

I'm playing Median again.

[Markus. D]

I like Median's Damage Return Skills :3

[Nominus Experse]

Bah, Phoenix Stance is only for Fire Damage...
The Barbarian was lame anyways. I couldn't kill the stupid Infernal Machine with him...

I see that there have been a few changes to the mod since I last played it. Druids look immensely fun, though a Totem/Summoner Necromancer looks rather intriguing.

Does the Amazon still blow?

[Markus. D]

Amazon... I liked spellcasting with it.

haven't tried anything else.

[Tavrobel]

Bah, Phoenix Stance is only for Fire Damage...
The Barbarian was lame anyways. I couldn't kill the stupid Infernal Machine with him...

Does the Amazon still blow?

That's why you use Lightning Shield. Barbarians are the best class besides a Retaliator Paladin.

LOL no. Bloodzons are the third best.

Just in case you are wondering, the next best classes would be a Gamma Cheese/LOLFountain Druid, and a Acid Fiends/Charmer Druid.

[Nominus Experse]

Does the Necro begin to lose his power once Nightmare hits? His summons seem quite powerful now, but I could definitely see the quality of summons become less and less, eventually becoming a continuous blitzkreig rather than tactical.

60+ summons sounds awesome, but if they can't really deal much damage or survive long enough to deal it...


Tell more about Bloodzons. Is there a site with various builds for this current patch, Tav? I haven't had much time to truly expiriment past level 20.

[Tavrobel]

Phrozen Keep, center of Laz' realm. (http://phrozenkeep.planetdiablo.gamespy.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=137) Notice if you will, that our friend Captain Maxx Power of the holy order of the Red Mage Pirates is a moderator here.

I haven't done much with Necros. Hell, I haven't done nearly anything with Necros. As far as I know, depending on the summon specialized in, you have difficulty with certain parts of the game, and certain parts are easily passed by. I do know that Acid Fiends on Druid by themselves are rather painful as they get smashed apart without a secondary damage source, but fare well early on, and hold their own in Destruction, if you are meticulous enough to do one enemy at a time. It is plausible to do a Totem-buff summon build, but your skill will be stretched fairly thin.

If going summon with totem buff (similar to Poison Charming Druids), invest in the Death's Fury Totem. HP isn't much of a problem as long as you can keep summoning things. As for summons, I personally would invest in Lamia, perhaps Overlord, and Shadows. Lamia excel in dealing damage, Shadows have an HP buff, and Overlord lets you have more of them. Demon Blood and Ghoul Touch minion buffs also add a slow and more elemental damage.

Your uberskill I would think best to be Soulshatter, since it gives you an alternate damage source. If you find it rediculously necessary, get Deathstrike, your Crossbows skill. An essential for any Necromancer is 1 point in Nightmare and Unholy Armor.

If you need runes and find any of interest, let me know.

I would imagine that your skills would look akin to this:
Maxed Lamia
Maxed Death's Fury
Maxed Deathstrike
Maxed Soulshatter
a few points in Shadows, Demon Blood, Ghoul Touch
1 point in Nightmare, Unholy Armor, prerequisites

If you want some OSkills, Corruption gives access to Acid Fiends, Nahual gives some Barbarian summons. Anything with +skills would help immensely. This is your only source of extra damage.

[Nominus Experse]

I have discovered that Deathstrike is fun as hell. A shame there doesn't seem to be a weapon that truly excels with this skill though...

There's the Sacred Set, but... If I am to get the Necromancer's Set, I may as well use the Summoner oriented one - which uses a wand instead of a crossbow.

[Tavrobel]

Level 6 Rares are among the best items in Median. Uniques are great, but hard to find. I'm only using Deathstrike because I needed an alternate attack, but it doesn't get set on the left click, which makes me sad.

[Nominus Experse]

I like how in the character screen, Deathstrike is called "PEW PEW PEW"

[Tavrobel]

Ohh, there's a boatload of easter eggs in Median. They are generally hilarious.

[Nominus Experse]

Is there a comprehensive list available, or is it up to the player to find them all?

[SeeDRankLou]

Why am I currently in this state? (look to the left) If it's one of those funny one day things it's fine, but what for?

[Tavrobel]

Is there a comprehensive list available, or is it up to the player to find them all?

Laz made comprehensive lists for stuff that is important to know.


Why am I currently in this state? (look to the left) If it's one of those funny one day things it's fine, but what for?

Either it's
A) Shlup is pregnant
B) The Fonz wanted a name change, and Shlup got carried away
C) There is no C
D) But there is a D

[Nominus Experse]

Easter eggs are important

[Tavrobel]

An Unholy Paladin has a skill that can melt your face with Lazorbeams.

[Nominus Experse]

Some of the runewords are rather silly.

[Tavrobel]

Strength of One and Enmerkar are rediculously over-powered.

[Giga Guess]

Easter Eggs? In a Diablo game? Unthinkable.

[Nominus Experse]

Grawr... someone changed my avatar...
