View Full Version : DIABLO2:Lord of Destruction...

I seem to be the ONLY resident Chiken who plays "D2"or DIablo2.
I've been in it for over 3 years, and the v1.10 patch has been out since the middle of October. This means that there are NO MORE CHEATS and HACKS. This is a good thing.

They also added a NEW Ladder, so that you can see rankings etc.
How the NEW ladder works is, there is a "season" for the ladder. Meaning, a "season is (as it stands now, and possibley to be updated later) 6 months. In Ladder ONLY games, you can find, or get NEW Rare or Unique Items specific to ONLY LADDER games. This means that people on the Regular Realms won't be getting these special Ladder only Drop Items. THen, after the season is over, the ladder resets it's self, and all the Current Heros will be bounced into the normal Realms, but your shiny new Unique armor or weapon will stay with you. No one knows just how many NEW items there are in the ladder games, as the season is not over yet.

Also, there is a "World Event" when a certain number of SOJ's (Stone of Jordan rings) are sold to Merchants in the game, the server keeps track of this, and when it gets to a random number, the server(s) then select a HELL level game a random and puts a Diablo Clone at where normally the First Closest Boss monster would be. Meaning, If you are in Act 5, and the "Diablo Walks the Earth" text shows up in your game, and your screen shakes violently, then you can be sure that the Diablo Clone is at the First Boss Monster after the First Way Point in that Act.
The Diablo Clone has about an 80% Chance to drop the new Annihlus Charm, this charm is a Godly Item that EVERY ONE and thier brother wants. So if you get the Diablo Clone in your game, consider your self lucky.
The Diablo CLone is SUPER HARD to kill. It will take you time, but keep at it and if you kill him, you may be rewarded.

If you've just read all of this and have NO IDEA what I'm talking about, find some one who has the game and go see it for your self.
It's on sale at Walmart now, and can be bought in a Diablo Pack for about 40 bucks including the Expansion Pack called Lord of Destruction. Then as you create an account, (FREE to play online),
you will then be logged into the system, and then get the proper patch download. For Dial Up users it may take 15 min. For Broadband it will take about 2 minutes. It auto installs and is ready to play with no hassles. Enjoy! If you have any questions, please ask Me or post here, and I'll check back time to time to see how I can be of help. For Hints and MANY many topics on this game go to www.dialoii.net and look at all the valuable Info they have there to help you in or with the game.
Good Gaming every one!
BAWWWK!

Yeah Bast, and we can play at the same time, and I can help you with stuff...
No lag like in HW2 man. It's an older game but still has a great time built into it. I saw in the paper from the weekend that you can get a Box Set with both games and the expansion pack for about $35.00 (US)... not sure what that would be over there.
3 weeks is cool. since I'm taking a break from it for the last 2 weeks, I'll be ready to show you the ropes.
TTYL,
BAWK!

YOu guys will need my Acct. names on D2 as well.

the one I use the most, and the one that has my Ladder Amazon, is called
Cootermules

The other one I'm on once in a while is called
GOLIATH_of_Cali

lol, yeah, I know, kind'a cheesy, but I started with a Barbarian, who's HUGE, so I named him Goliath Hugeth. For lack of a better name.... so that's how I got the name GOLIATHChiken, cause at the time, I couldn't think of anything else...
I have also incorporated one of my long time friends from town here to help us out, he's a D2 guru and will be a great addition to our group in the game. Clyde is the man, he knows his stuff, so when I tell you something, and he says something else, listen to him more than me.
Hope to see you all there soon!
PS, I'm on RIGHT now, on USWest Realms. 5pm PST (tuesday Dec 23rd)

I've been thinking about getting it for the Powerbook I got through work as it is the only semi-recent Mac game I can think of that's cool. Don't know if there is a Mac version of the expansion for it though.

[*still snikering**]....
Well bro, I'm not sure if Blizzard did or didn't make an expansion for D2 on the Macarana...lol...ok, couldn't hold it in anymore...I had to laugh.
Anyway, put the Powerbook down.....unless you're doing Photoshop or something more to the work/constructive side of computer usage, otherwise, use your PC man....good lord boy, don't you know them G-thingies are a thing of the past?...pff...
The only thing I want to play with that starts with a G comes on a woman!......
Write that one down, cause I said it first!...lol.
BAWK!

It's for the plane. Too busy with HW2 to play Diablo at home. That and I've really been meaning to check out Independence War 2 as I wrote the strat guide for 1 and I heard 2 is really freakin' hard. "Excellent"

BTW, the new dual G5s have enough dimm slots for 8 Gigs of RAM. They have heat syncs about half a foot long that extend all the way to the other side of the tower. That and the twenty-something hipster crowd loves 'em. I suspect games may make a comeback on Macs if Apple finally pulls its head out of it's arse. About high time they made mice with more than one button though.

You are right sir. I totally agree with you.
My sister has a 450MHZ Powerbook about 3, maybe 4 years old now. she could only use it for Emails now.

Yeah, I'ed like to see Apple do something really neat and kick some arse. But, Company management is still a one track mind.
Thier market lies in what they do best now.
TTYL, time for work....
BAWK!

Pismo. Excellent design. Wish they'd kept the body of those things. Nice and durable and you could plug two batteries into 'em simultaneously if you took a drive out.
