Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo 2 / December 2007Oh hell...
After several years, I finally got my SP fire sorceress into Hell. Nightmare Baal was actually much easier than I expected- ice bolt held him still and allowed the walls of fire to take down his points (assisted a bit by the merc). Hell was a bit of a shock- ice bolt doesn't do enough damage to the fire immune fallen to take them out quickly, and the cold immune things don't stand still long enough for walls of fire to take them down. And then the computer crashed while I was quitting the game, corrupting the character file, and effectively deleting the character. Damn. > After several years, I finally got my SP fire sorceress into Hell. > Nightmare Baal was actually much easier than I expected- ice bolt held [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > corrupting the character file, and effectively deleting the > character. Damn. While life sux, an SP fire sorc using without tons of +skills will take another several years to advance to Hell Baal. A fire sorc without 21 points in FO & CM is among the toughest endeavors in hell in this game. A remake may cause a little less time (and you can give the new babe a more enticing name.) Firewall is extremely hard to use, as you need to develop an almost flawless prediction on how the monsters will move toward you and lay the wall vertically by your side, then walk backward on it. Generally, a non-trading non-ladder-runeword fire sorc will go Meteor with FO + CM @1 as backup skill. Meteor is also a timed skill, but it's much easier to time it than to predict monster movements, and thus much easier to use. I think it also has the best firepower output. Fireball is probably cooler (or hotter), but it relies a lot on faster cast and near unlimited mana.

As if you haven't played with me often enough to know I am not Mickey As if anyone with half a brain couldn't tell by my use of language that I am not Mickey As if people haven't played with both of us at once... Typical MO of a liar.... accuse others of lying. The amazing thing is that he actually thinks anyone here is stupid enough to buy it.

Why not, he's a stone cold liar, just like the phony Rev. Let us look at what he said. He defended calling Mickey Mickey Mouth by saying that *I* called him venerial disease. First off all, this is PURE bullshit, the lying little turd has been calling Mickey that for ages, just about as long as the phone Rev has. Secondly, even if this WERE true, which we all know it is not, what form of logic dictates that if person A insults you, you retaliate by insulting person B. I find it amusing that those who call Mickey a liar, dispite 10 tons of evidence that he is not, always end up being proven liars themselves.

Moved to WoW, apparently. http://groups.google.com/group/alt.games.diablo2/msg/8bf421fe40a667b6 (A "where are they now?" thread from last year) RelMark Somewhere on teh intarweb "maxterry@comcast.net" typed: >> Somewhere on teh intarweb "Bingain" typed: >> [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Max Hehee! It was a classic, that's why it made my sig for a while. The crazy thing is, this guy likes to write "stories" (that he thinks are worthy of publishing) and post them to the group and they're really, really bad. However, because they involve drugs and sex, other Googletards* fall all over him, saying how good they are. He is then encouraged and "writes" more. It really is pathetic. ++++++++ *Googletard: Someone who previously had no knowledge of usenet until they got a Gmail account. They usually have know zero about usenet conventions and refer to the group as a 'site' or a 'forum'. Sure signs are multiple postings (because it didn't "show up"), claims to have deleted certain posts and mentions of "ratings". It is my contention that, pre-GooGroups, the average IQ of usenet was 110+, mainly due to the requirement of having to firstly know it existed and secondly set up a newsreader and find a providor. T'was a great place to hang. Since the mass take-up of GG and the influx of the Hoi Polloi the IQ average has dropped to below 100**, due not only to the influx but compounded by previous usenet stalwarts leaving in disgust. If it wasn't for true usenet users sometimes using GG for convenience I'd killfile all GG postings. Sadly, since the advent of GG, quite a few ISPs no longer run their own NNTP servers and some smaller usenet providors have gone under, being unable to compete with a free service. ++++++++ ** It is my considered opinion that the human race is devolving. Becoming less intelligent as a whole. We live in a time where our evolution has been short-circuited. As a rule the successful have few children while the unsuccessful sit in their trailers and fornicate the day away, resulting in multiple children. No longer do the less "able" drop from the gene-pool. In fact the opposite is occuring. They are more likely to contribute most to the next generation. I see this as one of the greatest hurdles that the human race has to overcome, hopefully before we breed ourselves back into the dark ages. On that note....

It's sad. I've been on Usenet since 1997 and I've only used Google to look up old posts. Well, I did post using it once, when my NNTP server was down. <g> Somewhere on teh intarweb "EvilBill" typed: >> *Googletard: Someone who previously had no knowledge of usenet until >> they got a Gmail account.

I've been on usenet about the same amount of time and, back then, even most other "connected" folks had no idea what usenet was or how to access it. I've watched it's decline and it's not pretty. BTW, I think I've made a couple posts using GooGrue while I was between NNTP suppliers. I've certainly used them for looking up archived mateial. It's a shame they couldn't have just left it at that, archiving, like Deja news did before Goo bought them out.

I've watched it's decline and it's not pretty. Indeed :( Ugly enough that I restrict myself now to a few select NGs, this being one of them.

Damn. You do know that you can backup SP char files, right? There are seven files with the associated char name, just copy them to another folder. But Bingain is right: that was a build that was going to see you collecting Social Security before she ever faced Hell Baal. Post-1.09 SP chars need careful building to be Hell-viable. If you want any advice, just ask.

Yeah- I think I do have a backup from this character, from back when she was battling through early NM. > Have you got other chars on the go, or did they all get toasted? I still have my skellimancer, who is in the last stages of Act V Hell, but wasn't a carefully built character, so I don't know if he'll get anywhere. And I have an assassin on USWest, who just hit Nightmare. On Dec 24, 12:10 pm, ro...@telus.net wrote: > You do know that you can backup SP char files, right?

Atma I think. angst aka poindexstar > > Have you got other chars on the go, or did they all get toasted? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Just use a character editor and remake her. Atma I think. Or, use the /act(x) switch. You add a space and then /act1-5 after the last quote mark in the 'run' command line of the properties of the D2 shortcut. It starts new characters at different levels, with stat and skill points ready to allocate where ever you want. I don't think it affects existing char's, but to be safe it is probably best to remove it again once you get the char you want. They will be 'naked', but that is where ATMA comes in. :) SignaturePlease pretend there is something witty here. > I still have my skellimancer, who is in the last stages of Act V Hell, > but wasn't a carefully built character, so I don't know if he'll get > anywhere. HA!!!!! Sardonicus, my not-so-carefully crafted skellimancer, has just earned the title of patriarch, having slain Baal in SP Hell. Many thanks to the fellow who created ATMA, without which I'd never have been able to save up all the gems and runes I needed to get there (I admit, I somewhat cheated by duping some fal runes into the ums I needed for Bone armour). And thanks to the people on this group who offered good advice on how to deal with gloams and other bastards. (No thanks at all to the fellow who simply told me to "shitcan" the character, after learning that I hadn't followed the pre-approved standard build for a skellimancer.) And it only took me five years.... (Not playing him all the time, of course, but I bought the game five years ago, and Sardonicus was my first character.) |
