Diablo II

[Papewaio]

Who is up to forming an Org team/s... emphasis on Fun and Helpful characters

ie
Barbarian Howler
Necromancer Curser
Paladin Aura... many options
Sorceress Enchant Weapon
Druid Spirit Caller etc

[Ser Clegane]

I do not have a lot of online experience in Diablo (too many idiots online) so I will probably suck and run around like a headless chicken - but I would definitely be interested (e.g., as Paladin)

[Papewaio]

Well I am looking at fun and group orientated... so headless chickens are welcome, just watch out for necromancers :D ...Paladins are naturals for group games, as are Druids... but the other classes all have at least one thing they can do to enhance others.

[Efrem Da King]

WRONG FORUM.


Damn noob! People like you waste the time of mods. .

[solypsist]

Thanks but no thanks
I can't just "drop out" of real life to do this - and believe me, D2 has taken over my life before. I hid my game CD from myself; it was the only way.

[Snowhobbit]

I'll join in, is there any need for a barbarian?
Edit: my account name is "Snowhobbit" without the ".

[Sjakihata]

If I find my cd's (I lost them :( ) I will join in. I have most experience with necor's, however, sorceress is good as well.

[A.Saturnus]

I would have to reinstall DII, but if you don´t find someone else, I´d do the necro.

[IrishMike]

Ahhhhhh, caught me to late, I just deinstalled the game and had a level 70 barb that focus was on power. Man that barb could kill anything that walked but unfortuantly it is now to late.

[Kraellin]

this thread is most likely going to be moved, but what did you have in mind? you want to start new characters, import current ones, use mods and/or trainers, run it as a peer to peer or on the dedicated servers so no cheating, or what?

i'm kind of intrigued with this idea, so spell it out ;)

also, why watch out for necros?

K.

[Papewaio]

I was thinking of new ones focusing on skills that enhance others... oak spirit, auras, curses (well they mean everyone does more damage) etc.

Obviously not much point if all they do is enhance really low stats so I was thinking of a rough 50-50 split between individual skills and group skills as the characters develop... that is just an idea... the main idea is just to have fun with MTW patrons.

So low level fun games... not speed, race to the end.


BTW the Games Arena is about reviewing games in a semi-serious manner more then arranging games... I already have a Geisha at home to treat with care, I don't want to have to dodge virtual hairpins as well

[Papewaio]

Also thinking of making a group that can handle lag... have all the names with XXXXLAG or XXXXLAGER... as you pop another one and wait for the lag to stop... the best way to combat lag is to create it...

Make a group primarily of Necros and Druids with lots of minions... sure due to lag you can't do much other then but your fire and forget minions will do a lot of the work

[Ironside]

Why not?

Need to reinstall the game though.

The arena is about any game that is not TW, the serious review thing is only a single facet. You might find you get a larger audience in this forum; I'm not sure how the numbers pan out.

Diablo II, I have to keep that game off my hard drive and safely packed away. I had a dual sword wielding barb with that skill that makes you do two attacks really quickly; the 'splatsplat splatsplat' sound of him hewing a horde to death was so...addictive. And don't even mention Mephisto runs to try and get better equipment, the hours I wasted... I only played SP though.

Never again, I never want to spend time agonising over what to keep in that puny stash again!

EDIT: Krae, the necro thing is a joke. Ser Clegane said he would run around like a headless chicken; headless chickens are dead and vulnerable to necros raising them.

[Hetman_Koronny]

I still play that game at least once a week. Only in SP though. Somehow was never attracted to multi, but now I would love to give it a try.
I’ve 78lvl Assassin (HalleBerry ~:p) on Hell. I don’t know if I could join others here – I own a localized game version (Polish)…

[spmetla]

Erasing the past...

[Ja'chyra]

I've got the game but never played, but I'll be up for it if you don't mind a complete noob playing.

[Muneyoshi]

So you guys gonna pull some MTW battle tactics? Will you guys try formations and flanking or is it going to be a bunch of individuals in a group?

Pffft what a question....of course they'll bring in tactics to it ~:p


Id join this, but I gave my game away to a m8 because I played it too much

I wish I still had my account, it was awesome

[Papewaio]

Tactics... is often in the build in most Diablo games... but teamwork is also quite often the case... tactics 'LEB...RUN!' hopefully go beyond that.

Tactics though tends to require a lack of lag...

[A.Saturnus]

Sorry about the delay in moving. My Mod powers weren´t up to their full strength.

Actually I planned never to install DII again, but a slow game is tempting. Plus, I´ve been told I´m a rather good Necro-player.

[Papewaio]

Well if you guys pick a server (Europe/Asia/US) then we can play a slow game for starters.

Minion heavy... let them do the fighting... sit back have a beer or something stronger.

Clear the field above.
Then clear the dungeon below.
Then move onto the next field.

Think about group tactics/enhancements... so a Paladin/Necro/Druid group primarily but all are welcome.

Not
Super single player character build, quest only, town portal waypoints, Demon runs.

[Papewaio]

Right now playing on the ASIA server...

game name MTW...

AuraMTW is the character... no password as yet.... can change servers to suit others... particularly if we play a laggy laid back game.

[Papewaio]

Make that MTW2

[Demon of Light]

THis certainly sounds interesting. Unfortunately, I lost the CD key for the expansion. This is bad because Diablo II is currently not playable on the computer and needs to be re-installed.

Just a suggestion but rather than run around with high power characters, why not start a group game from scratch? Lvl 1 necros running around actually teaming up to take on the Den of Evil might be more exciting than slaughtering Mephisto for the umpteenth time hoping he'll drop a Stone of Jordan.

[Papewaio]

Thats what I am thinking low level, team player characters who are strolling along not go on Mephisto runs looking for that final piece of a set you aren't even going to use...

[Ser Clegane]

I agree with the idea to really build up a party of level 1 rookies and just have some fun without trying to level up and collect equipment at all costs.

How should we proceed with this? It seems that the interested players will cover almost the full range of time zones so I guess during the week it will be rather difficult to get all people on board.
Should we try to setup something for the weekend? Or should whoever is setting up an MTW/Diablo game just post here and see if anybody is going to join?

[Papewaio]

I would say keep it relaxed and start low.
Just post when you want to go.

Once you have a few people you can start with a proper group of 1st levels.

For instance:
Server:
Asia
Game:
MTW

And I will be playing for about the next 20 minutes :D

[Kraellin]

lol. re-install it last night. been a long while since i've played. was quite surprised how fun it still is.

got one minor problem as the game starts up or shuts down. it seems to go dead until i alt-tab out of it and then come back. it's like it's waiting for me to do something that i cant do, but alt-tabbing to desktop and then clicking back on diablo ii in the taskbar seems to get it going again.

are you playing with the most recent patch, pape, and are you on the dedicated closed servers or on the open ones? i'm up for a few levels either way. i just have to patch yet and dont have any of the expansions.

K.

[The_Emperor]

Diablo 2? man I haven't been on that in a long time. So your looking at creating an org team? I'd be game for it.

Is this with or without the Lord of Destruction set?

[Kraellin]

ok. i'm in on the battlenet servers. started a necro in game 'mtw folks' with game description something like mtw for .org folks. i can only get in on the u.s. east server, however. doesnt offer me asia or europe or west coast. also, seem the battlenet servers auto-patch you, so that's not a concern :)

i'll go back in now and start the thing again. you may not be able to join my game cause of routers and firewalls, but i'll come in here from time to time and maybe i can join yours :)
