Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo 2 / October 2003some thing I noticed
The mana/life leech has gone down a LOT! The valks leeches too now... The size of the durance has increased incredibly! The guys in the bloody hills are not PI anymore.. I die a lot Xar >The mana/life leech has gone down a LOT! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Xar I started playing the beta from the day it was released, so I had some time to adjust. But one of the hardest things I've found to deal with is my resistances being cut from Normal to NM to Hell. My level 70 FO/Meteor sorc has all kinds of resistance gear, plus she has so many resistance charms she has to put them down in order to pick something else up. I'm dealing with it, but it is a -huge- consideration. She's wearing Duriel's Shell, a Duskdeep Helm, socketed with a perfect skull, an amulet that provides +15 to all resistances and -3 magic damage, Moser's Blessed Shield socketed with two perfect diamonds, which provides +63 to all resistances, plus rings and boots/gloves that provide some resistances, as well as Gloom's Trap Mesh Belt. She still has problems, though the character screen says her resists are maxed. It's been so long since I played 1.09 that I can't remember if the resistance issue was this huge or if Blizzard upped the ante on it. All I know is that I'm gonna roast in Hell ;) geo http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=718654 >All I know is that I'm gonna roast in Hell ;) Yep, that's a big downside. Maxed resists don't count anymore. -Arnulf Something else... It seems knockback doesnt work as it did I get 10 (yes you read well) 10 !!!!! exp a cow in a 1 player game lvl96 -97 would need around 20,000.000 cows then! > The mana/life leech has gone down a LOT! > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Xar > Something else... > It seems knockback doesnt work as it did I noticed this too. I also noticed that guided won't work around obstacles like it used to. I have to be in a place where a monster can hit me before guided will hit them. Blizz is making it tough on us bowazons. Well at least my Valkyrie can leech and do decent damage now. Also, poison damage seems to be shortened or nerfed. guys stay green for shorter periods with seemingly less effect on them. > I get 10 (yes you read well) 10 !!!!! exp a cow in a 1 player game > lvl96 -97 would need around 20,000.000 cows then! Supposedly exp drops to .008 of monster exp when you are level 98 now. On the plus side, I watched a level 20 pal leeching in a full hell cow game. He left at level 20 after the cows were all killed. Leeching seems obsolete now. > > I get 10 (yes you read well) 10 !!!!! exp a cow in a 1 player game > > lvl96 -97 would need around 20,000.000 cows then! [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > game.

More than about 2 screens away and you get no share of XP. > Awesome!!! (But did the Pally stay close to killing?)

Not only are hacked items deleted, rushing nerfed and now characters that are in Hell 30-50 levels too soon just leeching (both XPs and drops!) We can hope to see a shift for the better in terms of quality play. > > > Awesome!!! (But did the Pally stay close to killing?) More than about 2 > > > screens away and you get no share of XP. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > We can hope to see a shift for the better in terms of quality play. The slower rushing is really having an effect on people. Last night we had a level 6 trailing behind our slow-motion rush (led by a pair of skellimancers, of all things) - we ended up in Act 3 at level 24; he was still level 6. I haven't been in an Act 3 game yet where the party has made it out of town before everyone leaves. "No portal to Durance? I'm outta here!" Where do these people think they are going to go? People are completely spazzed out that they can't just portal to Canyon of the Magi and head for the correct Tomb. It's amazing the number of level 20 characters that are getting chopped apart trying to get the Cube. People have forgotten how to play, they don't know where stuff is, and they can't handle the fact that you have to kill stuff to level up. The anti-rush parts of the patch are having the biggest effect of everything so far. -- Zamboni > People are completely spazzed out that they can't just portal to > Canyon of the Magi and head for the correct Tomb.

People have forgotten how to play, Heh, they most likely never knew how to play to begin with.  Signaturechainbreaker If you need to email, then chainbreaker (naturally) at comcast dot net--that's "net" not "com"--should do it. >The size of the durance has increased incredibly! The size of the durance, the tower and the areas beneath Blood Raven's hangout is increased in nightmare, and then again gets larger in Hell. It's an anti-boss-running thing. I like it. :) M. |
