Taking another spin at D2
I never really managed to get my Thornadin going last time, so I'm going to take another spin at it.
No laborious grinds, no super-builds, just dinking through the game with a Thornadin. If anyone happens to play and wants to look me up, my account is "flyingmullet" and my Thornadin is "Thorny_Mulley".
I also have a summoner on the side (named "Minion_Mulley") because I never get tired of them. xD
(SPOILER)Hi Tav, I knew you couldn't stay away from a D2 thread!

i swear last time there was a D2 thread, it was such a success that i dont think i can keep up with u guys
Just ran with a crew through Act 1 and I just picked up a Prayer merc for now in Act 2 and am level 17.
I'm legendary!
Every time I try to play this game, I just set it back down and wonder how I ever enjoyed it. The skill and stat systems both seem broken beyond repair. I tried playing a Bone/Poison Necro last time, and I couldn't. Even something as basic as Teeth cost so much mana I couldn't use it to effectively attack (4 casts, max, before I'm OOM). So I have to wind up hitting everything with my weapons. Which means, all my stat points have to go into my Dex/Strength, or I'll never be able to kill anything. So I wound up meleeing until I gave up on the character. And this happens with basically every character setup I've tried. It works for a couple (Golem Necro, who doesn't need skills, the Barbarian, and the Amazon sometimes), but on the whole, I just can't get into this game anymore.
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Screw you.
In the time that you guys were gone, I played Hardcore, made another Lightning Sorceress, and spawned 3 DClones and killed them by myself. I summarily got TPPK'd on all except for my Bowazon and my Barb (which wasn't high enough in the first place to be in Hell).
In the meanwhile, I've been playing Median, and that's all I'm playing, because Battle.net sucks, Blizzard sucks, and they can all go to hell for being bad at their jobs.
A few of my friends and I played a group game of D2 last year and it was really fun while it lasted. I got up to Exploding Corpse and blew apart entire rooms of baddies. I probably liked that spell a bit too much. Good times.
That being said, no time for any further distractions now. xD
1.13's major selling point was the stash size. It's gone now.
What? They removed the 1.13 stash size?
I see they have fair enough reasons.

There is no signature here. Move along.
Does anyone know of a mod or hack which allows you to play single player games with all of the ladder drops and rune words?
Yeah, but now no one else can say hello.PlugY says hi.
I know a few that can activate the Ladder runewords, but I've not seen one with the drops.
EDIT: Use the newest version of PlugY.

This is worth the double post.
The beta of the 1.13 patch is up.
My favorites of the update:
Looks like they're trying to make D2 a little more accessible to the casual gamer.- Increased the drop rate of high runes.
- Nightmare/Hell WilloWisps champions/uniques have had their damage greatly reduced.
- Greatly reduced the explosion damage dealt by Fire Enchanted monsters.
- Removed Oblivion Knight's Iron Maiden curse.
I'm guessing this means you can reset all of your skill points and try a different branch?- Respecialization is now possible! Completing the 'Den of Evil' quest will now additionally reward 1 free respec which can be saved. Players who have already completed this quest should receive 1 free respec in Hell difficulty.
Odd, I wonder why they did that?- Updated two Act 5 mercenary names to Klar and Tryneus.
Looks like a couple of nice graphics/IO improvements are in order too- Support for blit scaling in windowed mode. The game can now be maximized to the largest 4:3 resolution supported (hooray widescreen users).
- Added the windows system buttons to the game window (MIN, MAX, CLOSE).
And what we all knew would come, a little power character (Hammerdin and Lit Sorc) tweakage.-Blessed Hammer - No longer ignores resistances of undead and demons.
-Lightning Mastery - Reduced overall effect by 15%.
Yay Corpse Explosion!-Corpse Explosion - Increased base damage dealt from 60% - 100% to 70% - 120% of corpses health.
