Anybody play Diablo 2? I just found out you get more XP if you're in a party! :)

I have concerns about going blind if I keep playing with myself... anyone looking to party up?

lol... the pic they show when he says "EL DIABLO" is the picture of "Diablo" from the original Diablo game. That cartoon should be standard viewing material for every gamer.

My girlfriend and I both play Diablo II:LOD.  I have several druid characters and an assassin.  And a Mulazon for multyplayer.

My girlfriend goes for the sorceress and assassins.  And ditto on the Mulazon.

If my characters still exist (I haven't logged on recently), I have a 91 Druid, 90 Sorc, and 88 pally...  I've gotten-out-of-and-gotten-back-into Diablo 2 so many times...  I'd be willing to play a game here or there though.

I think it has been a year or two since the last time I logged in. I didn't play much on Bnet, but I might be persuaded to play again. I doubt any of my characters are still there. :) I don't even remember what they were or what level they were. It may be longer than two years since the last time I've played wow.

I think Bnet trashes your account if it has not been active for 60 days.

I used to have a few characters in the 80's with good gear, but my friends went to WoW, so I ended up getting bored. Another thing that ruined it for me was the obscenely stupid and repetitive trading on Battle.net.

Post by: Ishmayl-Retired on July 19, 2006, 05:40:23 PM
same here... I got to playing mods for awhile, which was fun; it's also the main reason I stopped playing b.net... it got to be too much of a hassle to keep a clean game.exe file on hand and keep changing game versions just to switch between all the different mods that used different versions...  

Anyhoo, I'm interested in playing sometime if others are; I have the full-expansion (cuz I love druids), but am willing to play regular ol' D2 if you guys don't have the LOD.
Title: Deeper and DEEPER into the bowels of El DIABLO!
Post by: Velox on July 19, 2006, 08:54:05 PM
Well my account name is Velox121. Add me or whatever, I play plenty. Got the expansion... I don't dupe or hack or cheat or bot or Gmerc or any other stupid cheats. Cheating to win a game kind of defeats the purpose of buying the damn thing. I didn't buy this game just to watch pixels explode. I play games to strive and acheive.

So yeah! Lemme know who wants to party up and when. Message me if you want my AIM screen name.

I don't think those "8-bit" folks did a cartoon for that. I beleive the audios are originally from Dr. Demento, or something called the Dead Ale Wives Watchtower or sumsuch. I once had the audio file for the second one... its damn funny.

man i didn't like the gamers. i guess maybe it just took the joke too far, for too long. And it really wasn't that funny? Like, it shoulda been a 10 minute skit. that's my opinion, and i stand by it.

Whatever that has to do with diablo.

Hey guys, let's set up a time soon to play some together; of course, I only have 1 character anymore - the one I just started last week and have only played for about 2 hours, but we could all start at the beginning and see what we can do in a few hours group play.
Title: Deeper and DEEPER into the bowels of El DIABLO!

If you set up a decent time to get together and play, I'm in. I would have create a brand new character, since I still have to install it.

I was playing NWN. I got to the second chapter of the original module and just haven't start it up again. Its been about 3 weeks now.
Title: Deeper and DEEPER into the bowels of El DIABLO!
Post by: brainface on July 29, 2006, 01:10:29 PM
the original module of nwn is just so god-awful it challenges belief. Like it's seriously worse of a story than "just go out and kill stuff!" icewindale.

The expansions packs are better, but i still had to judge them harshly due to how mediocre the original campaign was.

Vel, my account name is Altvogge.

To evetyone else, I always put Cymro in game titles, and the password is cabbage.

I will look for you guys after tonight after 9.  I am working on my druid again this afternoon.

Well, here are who we have so far I believe:

Poseidon:  FINeptune
Cymro:  Altvogge
Velox121:  Velox121
Ishmayl:  Ishmayl

Generally, I immediately go into channel "Sparrowland," and my game names tend to be either "Sparrowland," "Shadowfell," or "BLD."  My password is always "1."  that's right, just the number "1".  Makes it nice and easy to remember.  I'll make sure I get on line around 9:00 PM EST tonight and add all you guys to my friends list.  I'll be playing either a new level 1 sorc, or my uber-powerful level 4 druid that I just started ;)

Cheers!

Amazon, and Virgin(where I got mine) has the Battlechest edition for 20-25.  That is D1, D2, and D2LOD, and the player's guide.

Post by: Wensleydale on July 29, 2006, 05:00:19 PM
Yeah, same here. It's pretty cheap, I saw a copy for something like Ã,£5, which would be something like $7.75.

Title: Deeper and DEEPER into the bowels of El DIABLO!
Post by: Hibou on July 29, 2006, 06:59:17 PM
Yeah, it has gotten pretty darn cheap since it came out. Unless they've updated the player's guide since they had the D1/D2 Classic "Battle Chest" though, the Player's Guide that comes with it is pretty useless and extremely behind the times in terms of damages, durations, and the like. If anyone needs any help or advice, don't be afraid to come to me. While I don't play at the moment, I've played D2 since it came out :)

I'm not sure if Battle.net online characters can be used in this, but we shall see. I am a busy little monkey, and I am usually busy all week long. I can play on wednesday nights, thursday mornings, and on the weekend. AIM me at Velox888 and let me know if you wanna go. If I don't have a mountain of homework, and I can stay awake, I'll play.

You can't use battle.net online characters, but you can create new "local battle.net" characters that can be used in games.

Quote from: Natural 20Wait, do I have to buy the Expansion as well?  I just looked it up on Amazon and I can afford the origina;l game, but not that and the expansion.  Can I get just the expansion?  Ugh, complications...

Look up the Diablo Battlechest on Amazon, it should be pretty cheap, as in $15-$25, and it includes all three games.

Title: Deeper and DEEPER into the bowels of El DIABLO!
Post by: Xathan on December 01, 2006, 12:50:05 PM
I actually finally got myself a copy of Diable II. I have two accounts: Xathan, and Last of the Fallen. My characters are:

Xathan Account:
Andurian: Level 24 druid werewolf/summoner. I usually play him solo only, even though he's on B-net.
Nycta: Level 26 sorceress that is horribly built...I still die Tombing in act II. I mainly use her to pick up stuff for my other characters on Cow Runs now, but she is on Act 4 - if anyone wants to help me, that'd be great.
Nikolaz: Level 13 Necromancer. Just experimenting with Necro abilities right now, so he'll probably end up being slightly less effective that Nycat.

And more, one low level member of each class not yet mentioned and two assassins, since assassins are awesome.

Under the Fallen account, my main character is Helassa, a level 18 Bowazon. I also have Kadyn, an experiment: to see if I can make a melee oriented sorc without her sucking. She's at level 5 right now, so there's a ways to go.

If anyone wants to play at some point, I'll be more than up for it. :)
Title: Deeper and DEEPER into the bowels of El DIABLO!
Post by: Ishmayl-Retired on December 01, 2006, 05:38:25 PM
Xathan, it's hard to tell if a sorc build is any good until they get pretty high in levels, simply due to the fact that unless you pump Will, you tend to run out of mana very quickly.  If you need some help, I'll play sometime, I've got some pretty good characters going now.
Title: Deeper and DEEPER into the bowels of El DIABLO!
Post by: Xathan on December 04, 2006, 01:51:06 PM
Yeah...the problem is, it wasn't nessicarily a bad build, so much as it was a lack of a build. :P I put points in everything was my problem - I lacked focus. I'm always up for playing, though now that I've put some points in Meteor and Glacial Spike she's actually doing pretty good in Act 4 (Finding an orb with +2 meteor didn't hurt, either). However, what I need for her is gear - a glitch in a game lost me all my gear, besides that one orb, so I'm slowly rebuilding.

Anyway, I'm on right now as Xathan, so if anyone wants to play, message me. I'm using my Trapsassin, Shydra, at level 8. I don't like rushing: it's a lot more fun to me to play with people around my level. Ishy, or anyone else, if you have anyone between levels 1-30, I'll be happy to play. :)

Nycta finally hit level 30 and got Frozen Orb and immediately stopped sucking...funny how that works.

I haven't played for a while and my copy is unfortunately at home (i'm at res and also have exams around now). but in a couple of weeks roughly, i'll grab it and join you guys it you're still playing. all my accounts long ago expired though, so i'd be at lvl 1.

Aslo, anyone currently playing warcraft III? it's also at home, but i'd wanna play that too if anyone has it set up/ be warned though. i'm terrible at it.

no. micro. at all.

I haven't played in a while either, which reminds me I should check on my one character make sure she hasn't been deleted. I don't mind starting at level 1, because like I said I only have one character at te moment.

We should have, whenever a CBG person is playing, make the game CBG, password Cabbage, and we just check to see if there is anyone playing and whatnot. Or something like that. I'm tired, this idea will make more sense tomorrow.

Well, I'm pretty sure the game tells you what difficulty it's at, so there's really no need to change the titles.  I'll start naming my games CBG for the sake of conformity.
Title: Deeper and DEEPER into the bowels of El DIABLO!
Post by: Ishmayl-Retired on December 26, 2006, 04:01:42 PM
Well, I guess my point was, that way, three different games could be played depending on how far along you are.  If you've just started, you could either start up or join CBGnorm, and others who have just started could join that as well, instead of hoping that whomever is in the current "CBG" game is on the same level as you...

I have 2 accounts (supadupaman and cpnobvious) and have characters that vary between level 12 and 25.

I usually play in either the game "cbg", or the game "cool beans".

/f add *User_name

It's real cheap now, and if you like hack and slash type games it is fun. I've had a blast playing it, but I can't play it for the long anymore (higher levels have no appeal to me. I think 25 was my highest level I reached. Or somewhere around there.)

No problem, Ish :). I'm always finding stuff I don't need, since I tend to be pretty set on one character at a time when it comes to gear, despite having 6 different ones running.

My current highest characters are a level 85 Concentrate Barbarian (I'm getting 36k defense when everything totals up; even the Ubers are having a hard time laying a hand on me) and a level 41 Hardcore Summoning Necromancer.

If anyone playing needs help when it comes to the min/maxing of the D2 world, let me know. I can tell you lots about several builds and general tips for surviving and making the best out of your character. :)

The wife is out of town, so when I get home from work tonight, I'm Diablo-ing it up all night long.  I get off at 6:00 PM EST, and will have the computer set up (and dinner done with) by 7:30 PM EST at the latest, so if you're in, look then.  

My user name is "Ishmayl" (so type  "/f add Ishmayl" , then "/f list" to see if I'm online)
When I'm not in a game, I go to my own channel of "Sparrowland"
The game names I use are "Sparrowland," "Shadowfell," "Spinewrinkle," "Cabbageland," "Brainface," and occasionally "Daggerhart"
My password is always "bld"  If you can't get into a game for some reason, just PM me and I'll make a new game.
Current character lineup is:
Level 72 Sorceress
Level 45-ish Werewolf
Level 35-ish Wind Druid
Level 15 Paladin
Level 40-ish Amazon

Hope to see some of you guys on.
