[Arizona Tea]

dfasdfasfsdafasdfsda yay

[weems]

If they reset the ladder when it comes out (which I think they will), then I will start playing D2 again.

[Fist]

What's in that patch Tea?

Can't find anything about it.

[Nades-GanjaErk]

I might just get back into it you guys are

[weems]

What's in that patch Tea?

Can't find anything about it.

Thats because there isn't any info. They released 4 screenshots, thats it.

[sexyownage]

[Doc Wattson]

People still play CS 1.6?!

-Gary-

[Fist]

Like what Krazy?

[weems]

Its all rumors. No official info is out, like a changelog.

[Fist]

I love rumors.

Maybe i will finally hear what is supposed to be in this patch???????????? :P

[Zantas]

it's not 1.11!!! IT'S D3!!!

[Black Dragon]

D3 you say? Now even I'm interested. I hope it will still work on my crap comp

[Zantas]

just a rumor ;)

[Long Black Veil]

I still enjoy playing DII sometimes.

[Zantas]

ladder sucks

[stormFury]

I'll play. Sounds like fun kinda.

[weems]

Okay, it came out and there was no ladder reset, so I will not play again.

[weems]

ladder sucks

Quite to the contrary. Starting over along with everybody else is the only reason to come back, and is why I came back for 1.10.

[Nades-GanjaErk]

well if people plan on coming back lets start a forum for it
cuz I will def be in for it

A new Mystery has been revealed!

- Players of Hell Difficulty Realm games are hereby warned once again, that a series of new and challenging tests await you! The answer lies within Diablo's Bosses, which span across the world from the Den of Evil to the Throne of Destruction...

New Items

- Added 10 New Runewords.
- Added new Unique Items that will drop from Special Bosses.

Hireling Enhancements

- Players can purchase hirelings that are within 1-5 levels below their own level.
- The rate at which hirelings gain experience has been increased. They should now stay closer to the player's level.


Major Bugs

- Creating a town portal when corpses or other objects entirely fill thearea where the portal will appear in town will no longer crash the game.
- Skills obtained from runewords created while the item is equipped will no longer disconnect you from Battle.net when chosen.
- Barbarians will no longer become stuck when using Whirlwind right after Inferno from the unique item Balrog Blade Flamebellow.
- German, Spanish, and Polish users will no longer crash when the mouse cursor moves over an item that grants an Aura while equipped.
- The game will no longer crash when selecting a skill granted by a weapon at the same time as switching weapons with the W key.
- Dying or being requested to trade while changing the key configuration will no longer cause you to get stuck.
- The "Missile Firing too far" assertion error has been corrected.
- Attempting to sell a Horadric Cube or a quest item to an NPC by holding Control while clicking will no longer disconnect you from Battle.net.


Minor Bugs

- Running the game with -install no longer causes the game to be installed as a Windows Service. -install is now ignored.
- Sometimes the seals in Diablo's lair would not activate. This has been corrected.
- Character expiration messages have been updated to reflect the expiration policy implemented in patch 1.10.
- Unidentified items sometimes caused other set items to display green for items the player does not have. This has been corrected.
- The German mouseover text for the Ist rune has been corrected.
- Account recovery is now allowed for existing accounts whose name is only one or two characters.
- When leaving a game on Battle.net, you will now be brought back to the channel in which you were previously.
- Transmuting an ethereal item now retains the ethereal stats bonuses.
- In Japanese Lord of Destruction, items that add to all Assassin skills incorrectly stated in their mouseover text that they added to all Druid skills. This has been corrected.
- Battle.net messages for non-English versions have been corrected.


Fixed Game Exploits

- It is no longer possible to bypass the 10-second hostility timer by activating a waypoint at the same time as declaring hostility.
- Uber Diablo is no longer killed when Shenk the Overseer or Blood Raven die nearby.
- Necromancers with Trang-Oul's Set equipped could sometimes become invincible to attack. This has been corrected.
- Blessed Hammer no longer remains active while in town, preventing players from subsequently declaring hostility and having the hammers hit other players for damage.
- Set items retained their multi-piece bonuses after the player died, even though they were removed. This has been corrected.
- Items with skill-charging effects will no longer give synergy bonuses to skills when equipped on a character without those skills.
- Pasting from the Clipboard no longer allows the creation of characters with more than one dash or underscore in their name.

[muggA`]

anyone seen any of the new items? :o if you have, are any of them good :o

i used to play d2 on USWest, then i gave my account to a friend :)

[weems]

The end result of the Lilith quest gives you a ridiculous large charm that has

+1 - 6 all skills (one class)
+10 - 20 all attributes
+10 - 20 all resistances
+8 light radius
25% chance to cast firestorm
level 30 hydra (10 charges)

[Fist]

Which act/quest is the lilith one?

I never read text's, just do em by heart.

[stormFury]

So are we playing or not? Lemme know because I have to reinstall :x

[weems]

Which act/quest is the lilith one?

I never read text's, just do em by heart.

Its a world event, not a normal quest.

You need:
Key(s) of Terror
Key(s) of Hate
Key(s) of Destruction

Each can only be found on Hell difficulty. The Countess drops the Terror key, the Summoner drops the Hate key, and Nihliathak drops the Destruction key. The chance of one of them dropping a key is 1 in 34.

Transmute one of each key in the cube on Act 5, Hell, and a portal will open up.

It will be either the Matrons Den, Forgotten Sands, or the Furnace of
Doom. You find Lilith, Durial, and Izual in them, respectively. Lilith will drop Diablo's Horn, Durial drops Baal's Eye, and Izual drops Mephisto's Brain. Each one is an uber version of their counterpart, much stronger than normal.

You need all 3 of those items, which means you need at least 3 sets of keys. Once you get all 3 of those items, you cube them in Hell and a portal to Tristram opens up. In it will be a shitload of monsters, Diablo, Bhaal, and Mephisto all grouped together. Each one is far stronger than normal. If you manage to kill them all, you get the charm.

[Uthor]

From what you're saying, you need to play these three people that drop keys 60,716,992,766,464 times to get 3 sets. And people do this? Insane.

Are you sure the 1/34 is correct?

[kud0z]

That is pretty nuts, although I imagine that it could drop more often than every 34 tries.

Edit - and know that drops in games like WoW and stuff have POINTS of a percent to drop.

[Uthor]

Wait, my math is all wrong. That's how many times you need to play to get 9 key drops in a row. It's actaully 306 tries to get 9 keys.

Me no good in statistics.

[weems]

Yeah, the keys are quite common. Thats not the hard part. Getting the keys is easy. The hard part would be killing the uber versions of Bhaal, Diablo, and Mephisto.

The word on the street is that you need at LEAST 3-4 people, and thats with godly gear. If you don't have godly gear, you will need at least 5 or 6, probably more like 7 or 8.

[weems]

You can solo it but only with a very well equipped Smiter Pally.
Hammerdins get owned

You cannot solo the final part.

[Black Dragon]

definately no way you can solo uber diablo, baal, and mephisto at once

[Fist]

Yeah KJ, i'm sure our toons could solo em np.

It could take me months too to get back all the stuff i had.

DId you know anyone who patched and didnt re-install btw?

[Arizona Tea]

jack did it with his smiter

[Arizona Tea]

you cant forgett he wind druids either, a good wind druid can solo it with some full juvs

[weems]

Sure you can.
You guys just have no idea of the type of gear and build required.
If I hadn't just gotten rid of my account with 2x Eth. BotD Beserker axes, perf HotO, 2x Enigma, 2x Chains of Honor, perf eth upped titans, 20/-20 lightning monarch, griffon's eye helm, 2x 30res Mara's, 8x SoJ's, high runes, annis, full Tal's, etc... I would be able to build a character and prove it to you.
May take me months to get back to that level if I ever bother to start again.

Did you not read what I said? Thats called 'uber gear'. One person with uber gear cannot kill the uber versions of diablo, mephisto, and bhaal all at once. You would need at least 3 people with gear as good as that.

These aren't just the regular versions of Diablo, Bhaal, and Mephisto. Each one of them is astronimically more tough than the ones you fight doing quests and runs.

[Fist]

Weems, you dont fight them all 3 at once.

You pick one, take it away from the others, solo him, rinse and repeat.

KJ is hardcore :(

[weems]

Weems, you dont fight them all 3 at once.

You pick one, take it away from the others, solo him, rinse and repeat.

KJ is hardcore :(

Uh, no you don't. You are thinking the pre-battles, when you fight uber versions of Lilith (Andariel), Durial, and Izual.

When you get all 3 items, you cube them and fight uber versions of Diablo, Bhaal, and Mephisto all at once in Tristram.

I am hardcore.

[Nades-GanjaErk]

ok I am reinstalling my diablo2 and the expansion pack. now I have to see if I have everything for it still o.0

[weems]

Weems, you dont fight them all 3 at once.

Yeah he knows that they all spawn together.
He means the you use a hit and run tactic to lure one away and pick them off one at a time.
Actually, I played Softcore but I still was godly last ladder and gave it all away =/

I played for monetary profit in the first 1.10 ladder season. Farmed anni charms and various other expensive pieces of equipment and sold on ebay for $$$. Good times.

Anyway...

Blizzard has announced a ladder reset today following the v1.11 patch release. The new Ladder season will kickoff this Monday, August 8th and the current season will finish after this coming weekend.

Guess I'll start playing again.

53 bone necro so far on west

[weems]

LAWL 32,000 Accounts got banned last night

What did they do?

[SkifF]

We have just closed more than 36,000 accounts for cheating on Battle.net. More than 28,000 CD keys tied to these accounts have been disabled from Realm play on Battle.net for one month, and more than 3,000 CD keys have been permanently disabled from Realm play due to repeat offenses. Please see the Battle.net FAQ for details on our anti-cheating procedure. As a reminder, the Battle.net news window that Diablo II players see after logging in has had a long-running warning against the use of hacks, clearly indicating that if we detect that cheating is taking place, the offending accounts may be closed without notice and the CD keys tied to these accounts may likewise be disabled without notice. Today’s account closures reflect our zero-tolerance policy against cheating, as well as our effort to prepare the Realms for the new ladder season. We appreciate the support of the thousands of legitimate Diablo II players in helping us keep Battle.net a secure and fun place to play Blizzard games.

[weems]

So...does anybody know what they were doing?

[Feral]

maphackign with EZ maphack

[SkifF]

I don't know exaclty what cheats they we're using, but it shouldn't really matter should it? Hacking is hacking, hackers got busted and can no longer play on Realm Play. Good job Blizzard.

[kud0z]

The old version never did.

[weems]

I don't know exaclty what cheats they we're using, but it shouldn't really matter should it? Hacking is hacking, hackers got busted and can no longer play on Realm Play. Good job Blizzard.

It matters because I'm curious.
