Ha! So it's gone from an astronomically low chance to drop to a slightly higher astronomically low chance to drop. Nice work Blizzard, maybe I'll see a Zod for myself in a hundred a seventy two years rather than six hundred and eighty eight years.Originally Posted by Tavrobel
There is no signature here. Move along.
And that's why there's Median.
I donno, Median has kinda lost touch with the newest version, it feels way too casual now... *otherwise, pegging Cryo Lasers with an Assassin is pretty sweet*
I still find certain areas are still as painful as ever (the fact I have to farm Fauztinville for high-end runes causes me to cry my soul out of my body), but I totally agree. Although to be fair the mod's been heading perpetually in that direction since it's inception. As someone who played it far back in it's initial beta phases, I can tell you it's a MUCH different beast than it used to be. Once upon a time there were no unique items, most buff skills only lasted two or three seconds, all skills were shared and were grossly underpowered compared to your enemies, and it was utterly impossible to play the game without having to go back to earlier acts and farm gold since you'd run up such catastrophically high repair bills. In short, Median once over only appealed to a few select hardcore gamers. Now it's designed primarily as a popularity mod. It even has a dupe recipe. I'll have to see if I can scavange some of the REALLY old versions of Median from my archives, the one's that Laz gets really pissy about whenever I mention to him I still have them.

I don't care what anyone says about my Median, I love being able to just only have to kill one enemy before everything in the game falls flat at my feet. PEW PEW PEW Danmaku/Helepolis Javazon with all of the ubercharms.
Well, I don't have trophies, yet.
If I want difficult, I'll go solve some Diff EQ problems. Or maybe go solve my Diff EQ Girl problem.
I'm pretty sure I have a Mal rune and a Ber rune in my account from back when I still played this game that I would give you, but it was a single player account and not on the realms, and I'd have to dig up the file in a backup drive, install the game on my bootcamp windows partition, and find my d2 and d2x discs to install them again.
Median drops those in droves.
I had some single player characters with all of the runes from running two computers and dropping all of a character's runes and then restoring their backup files and cubing up. pretty simple but it was fun having a barb with two Last Wishes Frenzying everything in sight at a lower level.
Why two LWs? You'd have a greater DPS output with one offhand LW, and an onhand eDeath, Grief, Beast, or BotD.
BotD is near impossible to get, except with duping.
BTW: My sorc is DiggyPaup on the test realms

Because runes were cheap and I didn't care? I dunno. When you're a low level in Normal and Nightmare it doesn't really matter.
What's your account name?

Turns out that only non-ladder battle.net games don't have the ladder drops. Local, single-player games can get all of the ladder drops according to Arreat Summit.
It's here!

Full ladder reset! I will play a bit here and there once I get back to school, then probably a little bit more in the summer once I get out.
Had to make a new account to fit new characters, "Cheezinator". Just keep that one in your record books Tav and Mully as you were the two I played with the most so maybe if I show up we'll run into each other.
