Tav, you were right, Rares are the best things to occur in Median. I found a crossbow that is rife with awesomesauce.

I can now PEW PEW PEW better

Note to all:
Necromancer Summoners suck in Median

The minions' stats don't scale with the difficulty
There is no crowd control skill available (which means no Uberquests)
When you come into town, you lose more than half your army
The Attack Rating of the Necromancer's pets is abysmal
You must have the Nightmare skill, otherwise everything heals itself
The AI is poor
You have to lead the crowd, meaning you'll get picked off first by an archer
Half the totems are useless
The spell timer for Corpse Seed is too long
Additionally, the spell timer for either the Summon Overlord, Rathma's Chosen, and Corpse Seed all run ON THE SAME smurfING ONE. This means that if you just used Corpse Seed, you'll have to wait 15 seconds in order to use either of the other two. This may not seem an issue until you get to an Uberlevel where you and your minions need the Life/Damage/Mana boost from totems immediately.
Minions get stuck on stairs when entering an area. Of particular interest is Kurast 3000 BA. Everything will simply sit there on the stairs doing... nothing.
By the time you get a totem up, everything is dead - whether that's your army or the enemy.
PEW PEW PEW is fun, but the damage is laughable.
Act II is more difficult than it ought to be.
Etc...

-------------------------------------------------------

I needed a break from this game anyways.

-------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: ZOMG! I just realized that there was more to the attribute challenge than what I first thought. Necromancers can apparently craft rings and gloves that give a huge boost to minion life and damage, along with 4 random modifiers that may grant +Skills and resists.

FUCK! Why didn't I read this before... I foolishly deleted my character...

In other news, I've found Throwing Barbarians to be immensely fun - especially when using Wolf Stance and Hawk Talons.

There's just something fun about zooming around with your 4 spirits laying mines everywhere.

Allow me to tell a tale:

I got all the keys. Three different keys three times to create all the sets for all the portals in one game to make sure I don't get repeats. I recruit Yummie to help me, and we decide to collect the body parts.

As I imagined, despite my bone necro having level 44 Bone spells and battle orders and teleport and almost all his synergies done and everything else imaginable, he could not even scratch the harder version of Duriel. He literally healed faster than I could hurt him. I had no choice but to swallow my racism and use Chimney's smiter instead. But I saw this coming; none of my characters are strong enough to handle the bulk of the work.

I got on Chimney's smiter and Yummie got on my account because all his characters suck complete ass and mine don't. Together, we brought him down so easily it was pie.

Next up is Izual. Easy, easy.

Lilith, same thing.

I think, "Wow, his Smiter is stupidly overpowered when it comes to bosses, so I can take on Ubers."

We make the portal and go on through. I look for Diablo or Baal first because they're easier. I lock on to Baal, and away I hack. I get him down to about [ ] life, and because of Life Tap he can't even scratch me. I'm invincible. Mephisto shows up, but I still survive because Yummie is keeping him busy and I can't be hurt.

Then Diablo comes into my screen with Armageddon crap on.

My screen FREEZES...and freezes...and freezes...I start counting with Mississippi in between. 27 seconds of my computer frozen. Do you know how long that is? It may not sound like much, but sit there and really count 27 seconds to yourself. It's quite a while.

When it unfreezes and goes haywire trying to play catch up, both of us are dead and they are standing over our corpses. He told me he froze up too. We have trouble enough loading two of them on screen, and it seems all three was the breaking point.

Then, anytime either of us try and go in the portal, we freeze up for about 5-10 seconds then it just shows us as dead. Our computers are literally too crappy to enter Uber Tristram.

And so we had no choice but to abandon the game. And by no choice, I mean I said many key words, threw a fit, and left after dying about 100 times. I tried everything. I tried rejoining to get my body. I tried his Hammerdin. I tried Koast's summoner to take the damage for me until I could load the screen. I even tried Amazons just to be funny. It was a lost cause, kids. It was a lost cause.

This is why I will be collecting the keys again. Next time, everybody who has any Non-Ladder characters worth ass is getting on and helping me. You will die for me until I can load them and then proceed to smite everything to death. But I'm collecting the keys, so you have to give me the prize :bigsmile: Which will also belong to Chimney when he gets back because I'm using his character to kill the bosses. Although at this point, I just think they're fun coz they're hard and I'm not worried too much about the torch anymore.

LunarWeaver
08-08-2007, 01:21 PM
It's true, my computer does suck. Like, big time. Sometimes, I go into a Baal run and freeze for the entire thing. By the time I load it, everything is dead and all the players are gone. It's quite sad, really.

Oddly enough, we dropped when fighting Lilith at complete random when there was no lag at all, but the Ubers lagged us like madmen and we didn't drop once. Oh, b.net, I like you.

But Chimney is gone D: He cannot help me now. I must help myself. And his smiter is sick. Just sick.

Somebody give me non-ladder Martial Arts charms and I'll give that person a real live kao.

And where did Vietnom go?

This whole post is so ADD I can't even look at it.

People want one high rune per Martial Arts charm. They want me to give them Jahs and Bers and I keep telling them to go die. I mean, there are only 4 martial arts assassins on b.net and I own 3 of them, so I think this is a little much. They aren't even THAT useful to her. She's totally all about the boots, the stingy assholes. I don't even want to think what they're gonna ask for Shadow Dancers.

I finished up a few last chars, and then Yummie and I looked at each other and said, "Okay, I think it's clear we're both just done."

So I have also given up. I will keep my stuff up-to-date until my brother gets a computer next year, though, because he's dying to play with me for some reason. Until then, I guess it's finally over ;_;

You don't. Red/Blue/Yellow are the only true American versions with MissingNo. Gold/Silver have a variation that is not the real thing, mostly consisting of ?????, but due to the error handling of the newer games, they don't really do anything; they are just there. Ruby/Sapphire also have the question marks. However, Diamond/Pearl seem to have MissingNo, but it's only accessable by getting into a battle before you get a Pokemon, which means it's a cheat, and therefore, not the true MissingNo.

Sorry, you missed it. But over the past year since starting this insane idea with Khaotic, Behold the Void, BahamutX2000, KH-Cloudy, and Nom, I've found that DII is growing into the years of the Blizzard game called "post-prime." A dying legion of fanhood is slowly being sucked away by automated response, immorality, and general jerk-ness in a community that was once filled with optimism and gratitude. It happened to Diablo, and it is certainly happening to Starcraft.

Yes. However, now you have the option of either playing on Ladder or non-Ladder. NL has my entire inventory from the previous season (well, the items I haven't given away). Ladder has a relatively small number of items, but is still useful for Ladder climbers.

You'll have to see if anyone else is on right now, though, since I'm pretty much retired, and I don't keep an eye on everyone else.

I can't seem to get a spearazon past level 18. I keep getting bored just trying to get Wings of Light or whatever the hell. So instead I'm using a Paladin since they're horribly overpowered and I need somebody to get good things for my other people. I can self-transfer, thankfully, so all my characters share goodness :bigsmile:. My Assassin would do, but the "don't get hit for 2 seconds" thing can get tiresome after a while. He made too many groups that have physical hits and shoot too fast for me to get my goddamn lotus off. PEW PEW HOLY SKILLS PEW.

Captain Maxx Power

@Nom; You can get a program at the Keep called "PlugY" which allows you to not only have an infinitely large stash (well, technical 4 billion normal stash pages, but you try filling all those suckers), but also a "shared" stash that all characters can have access to. Same thing applies for gold. It also allows you to keep track of the more awkward stats such as Crafting Points with a separate character window(s) detailing hidden stats such as magic resistance, crushing blow, etc. etc. If you thought Median changed Diablo wait until you shove PlugY into the mix.

@Everyone else; There's a brand spanking new version of Median out. As Necrocopter would say treat yourself. (http://modsbylaz.planetdiablo.gamespy.com/download.html)

Get the latest one. It took a bit of tweaking myself. In the end I had both the whole PlugY directory in the main Diablo 2 folder, then the executable and configuration file in the directory holding Median. Works for me now, and I can't tell you how awesome it is having such a massive stash. If you're a packrat like I am it's a godsend.

There is. If you are a hacker, and if you seriously need to hack on a single player game, I wonder why you even bother to live life. Of course, if you are legit, I imagine that this could not be done with anything besides a Paladin, Necro, or Assassin.

I have a special modification of my d2gfx.dll. This is the file that prevents multiple copies of DII being open at once. A simple uncheck, and then I can transfer amongst me, myself, and I.

Get an elemental attack. Laz says that Stone Skin and Element-Enchanted statuses automatically give immunities in Hell. It's a flaw in the coding.

It's a modification. It changes all of the requisite parts inside of the patch_d2.mpq, and turns each part into something new. It's like playing a completely new game using the DII engine.

This is worth the double post!

Anyways, listen to my sob story of how I qq. So I tried to log onto Europe to play with the venerable Captain Maxx Power. Unfortunately, I never found him online. So I go home to play Median by myself, and I start tansferring items to and from myself as necessary.

Lo and behold, I can no longer host and join any games by myself. I tried to replace the d2gfx, but it failed. So now, I resort to PlugY. However, I went through all of the instructions (not that there were many), and I cannot run the game with Median. Now, I have seen people using Median with PlugY, just that most of the options are disabled.

I just want the shared stash damnit, and I know that it can be used! I don't care about anything else from PlugY, I just want that bloody-fucking shared stash.

EDIT: Ignore this post. You are all useless, and it works. All I had to do was run the normal game exe.

Making a Vengeance Pally. Any tips?

LoD or Median?

Giga Guess
09-05-2007, 01:27 PM
LoD. The obvious, Max Vengeance and Conviction are a given. Also some work into the Resist Auras for their Synergies into Conviction is a given too...now I just need to know if there's any equipment I should seek, and any other skills that may help, too.

Tavrobel
09-05-2007, 08:45 PM
Actually, I have not made a Vengeance Paladin on Battle.net since 1.07. I have however, made a Zeal Paladin, and a Fist of the Heavens Paladin.

Vengeance can either go Balanced, or try to focus more on any single element. Due to the massive amounts of duping on Closed Realms, your only option is to make whatever can kill the fastest, and can reach closer to the damage cap. This is reflected in the Aura synergies of Vengeance.

Vengeance (20)
Resist (20), or Salvation (20)
Conviction (20)
Fanatcism (optional 20)

Strength: enough to use equipment (may vary).
Dexterity: none, unless you plan on getting Max Block Rate, which could save you more often than not
Vitality: none, that Red Orb at the bottom is pointless
Energy: all! YOU NEED MANA FOR MELEE LOLOLOLOL

This'll leave about 20 skill points for pre-requisites, and Holy Shield. Stats is the standard build.

Ultimately, you'll have very few equipment options. At the end of the game, you need whatever you can get your filthy hands on that makes your elemental damage higher. Chances are, you will most likely be using Baranar's Star, or Runemaster Ettin Axe. I believe that I have a Baranar's on Ladder.

Baranar has the 1-200 damage of element (all three supported by Vengeance), which is good, and the Strength requirement without needing Dexterity (44). The weapon itself has a 50% IAS. However, Runemaster has the greatest customization options, having 3-5 sockets. You could boost damage by sticking in Ral, Tal, or Thul; you can even pump up IAS using Shael (20% IAS).

Runeword options are [I]Beast, Ber Tir Um Mal Lum, which has the Fanatcism Aura that you so desperately need. Cresent Moon, Shael Um Tir, is particularly useful if you are making a Lightning based Vengeance Paladin. Helm could use Dream, of which we are familar with. Your shield, well, Spirit, HoZ, Exile, are all good flavors. Anything useful. Gloves, Boots, Amulet, and Rings are the standard drill.

Do note, however, that I have a pair of Dracul's Grasp Gloves. You may take them if you wish, for the incredibly valuable Life Tap proc. But to make real use of this, you need some wicked sick Attack Speed, or the Block Rate to prevent life from going bye-bye in one shot.

Armor should be Fortitude, Guardian Angel Templar Coat, or CoH. I'm sure you can look up what fits you the most, Runeword-wise.

What's the damage cap in Median? 65k?

Tavrobel
09-07-2007, 02:13 AM
Yeah, anything else rolls over until it hits x%65535, and the remainder is your current attack power. The damage on my Sorc-Druid is close enough to 130k so that it rolls over once, but the spill off remains under 65k.

Nominus Experse
09-07-2007, 06:21 AM
So I still don't quite get the damage cap in Median. I realize it's 65k, but what exactly happens when you "roll over"? Are you saying that all damage inflicted (once "rolling over" the 65k mark) is then taken from only your stats, and not the net total of your stats and weapons and other item modifiers?

And furthermore, does this apply to poison directly as well? I ask this because poison is not administered all at once but over x amount of seconds. My guess is yes, but I have been wrong on many - if not most - accounts.

Tavrobel
09-08-2007, 12:08 AM
Unless you can do 65535 Poison damage per second, Poison does not have an actual damage cap. Basically, once you get to 65k, anything higher is chopped off by 65k TOTAL. Afterwards, your damage begins at 1, and rises according to the difference of the damage remaining. This roll over calculation is done from skills and all modifiers.

For example, let's say I have 35 points in a damage skill. It does 35k. I have a Magic damage modifer total of 300%. I have a total Character Damage Bonus of 100%. Since they are two different modifications, they are calculated separately. 300% Damage is like four times the true amount. 1.4e5 damage, with the Total Bonus 100% is like doubling the damage. I now deal 2.8e5 damage. If I divide the damage by 65000 and take the remainder, I now deal 20000. That's how you get your true damage.

Now, of course, those bonuses are not reflective of the actual math used in calculating damage in Median. I myself have similar stats, but only do slightly less than 65k with Mark of the Wild. I just needed some good, clean numbers.

I started a summoning Barbarian, and plan on using Corruption to get myself some Acid Fiends. I don't plan on playing this character frequently, because, well, let's face it, my Druid is more fun to use.

Side note: The damage cap only applies if you use 1.11 as your base diablo installation. 1.10 actually doesn't have a damage cap due to some coding, whereas 1.11 reinstated the old 1.09 formula. Since fundamentally there's no real difference between 1.10 and 1.11 baring merc recruitment levels and the Open Wounds formula, it's recommended you use 1.10, especially if you're damage is overflowing.

Too bad mercs in Median are fairly useless outside of normal play. Their AI sucks.

I generally find I can easily go without mercs with many of the builds I make in Median, and indeed in normal LOD. Generally I don't like mercs, as due to their suicidal nature and high cost their movements generally dictate the pace of the game rather than your own.

Those things are hot potatoes. Scanning around the Median website makes me yearn with the yearning.

But I'll never see anything remotely awesome as I made yet another new character. I noticed most of the YouTubes are Barbarians so I was all "Okay, let's try one 'coz I'm sick of my Lamias dying." Thunder Clap or whatever is sexy. He kills slower than others, but is like...impossible to kill himself.

I'm not sure which stance to do, though. I want to do the stance that gives more damage in trade for receiving it and also maybe the attribute one for when I start to get too hurt. And then I need one of those summons with the passive too. Ugh.

One thing that can be said about the Barb is speed, especially with the new dual weapon addition. He has that passive that makes him so fast! And I thought the zon was where it was at. Pfft.

I noticed the Withhunter's belt is very nice for my melee barbarian, so I agree that they do have their uses. It's just that the Charmer set seems to be EVERYWHERE.

I'm a little curious: in general, are Sacred Uniques superior than Sets, or is it the other way around. They both have max sockets, but Set items recieve bonuses from being paired with other Set items. So, in a sense, it seems that Set items are capable of recieving two bonuses (though one is preset), whereas Uniques can only recieve the bonuses from runes/jewels/gems/skulls.

I think Sets are more valuable and useful, but some of these Sacred Uniques I've found are pretty sexy, I must say.

Uniques are great, but they stand alone. Sets, however, have specific uses that don't always cater to your needs. Uniques can be used in tandem with the other, but don't have any synergy bonus. But non-Sacred Uniques can be sacrificed from old (6) Sets, and upped freely, without a deteriment to sockets.

Uniques are probably harder to find, since Fauztinville is harder than Kurast.

EDIT: Someone find me a Bul Kathos' Voice Sacred Avenger Guard. It goes great with my Nimmenjuushin.

I guess this is the end of our little tirade. We've had a lot of memories. I just hope the Staff does this thread justice.

If we are around that long. Either way, there's still Hellgate: London and Starcraft II.

I'll masturbate furiously.

Were you guys ever able to complete all of the quests in both Diablo II and Median? Vanilla was easy - of course - but I still haven't been able to fully complete all of Median. But I likely won't, as Alpha Centuari has once more taken a hold of me.

Please do.

Yeah, that is, everything except for Tran Althula and Jitan. I haven't bothered to do the attribute challenges, because I don't find the benefits from them to be worth it, with the possible exception of Lifeblood.

Getting an F in Math, bitching about my classes, having three tests every day for the past two weeks, and spending WAY too much time on the internet, rather than focusing on College things.

Yeah, same old, pretty much.

Can't play it on DAMNED Vista.

It works on my friends Vista-ish one though.

I'll never understand what made me choose Vista over XP :[

I'm reinstalling Diablo II as we speak, so I'll soon waste some more time with Diablo and whoever else may be playing.

Yes, college is that boring.

Vanilla is too dry for our tastes.

Nominus Experse

I'll probably play both, though I'll spend much more time on Median than Vanilla.

I may fuck around with various hacks and the like, just to see what that end of the spectrum is like. I mean, hell, I haven't got much too lose now, right?

If you find a character editor for Median let me know. I've always wondered what it's like to be able to defeat Juris Khan. However, it'll probably be soon out of date: there's a new update expected.

What is Vanilla?

Tavrobel
10-24-2007, 01:53 AM
What is Vanilla?

Diablo II and DII: Lord of Destruction. Vanilla, representing a flavor which is neutral and therefore untainted, is apt to be compared to a video game original intention and style of play that has a large variety of modifications to the structure, and that may be exercised.

So basically, it's the original version, not a mod.

I was talking about cheating Vanilla.

Cheating while on Median seems to be... silly, to me, for one reason or another. I doubt I could find anything anyway.

I want to cheat at Median ;_; Hax plz. But I can never find any, and I wouldn't be an intelligent enough seal to make them function.

I haven't posted here for a long time. I think I'm going to eat confetti in celebration.

Wow, we made it through a year, surprisingly enough.

Not sure if there's anything that can be said that we haven't already said. We've had our ups, our downs, our disconnects, and our lag-fests. Epic finds. Epic fail. Either way, I'm proud to have led this community (let's face it, it's true) through our mis-adventures, and we were given a chance to bond with and get to know those who might not have spoken to or associated with otherwise.

I love this game, but things are not meant to last forever. Oddly enough, I still play on Median, and plan to get Hellgate: London in the near future. Ohh well, probably sounds like a sod-fest by now.

Since only Tavrobel plays anymore, I'd better close it.
But if you want to open a new one, do so. Maybe this time I'll seriously get around to playing that game again.
