Anyone play Diablo II: Lord of Destruction?

[Nirvana]

Anyone play this game still? It's obviously overshadowed by the likes of World of Warcraft, but I still prefer good old Diablo II.

Anyway, currently I have a Level 73 Immozon equipped with M'avina's set (-Helm, I'm pretty poor by Diablo Standards. I have no High Runes.)

I'm working on my Summoner right now, he's lookin to be quite good. I'm lookin for Trang Oul's set, as I have the armor already.

I'm on US East Ladder: *Assballs

If anyone is interested in joining me for some MFing or trading, I'll be glad to play. Also, we can discuss different character builds and items in this thread.

i used to play it A LOT, zealots being my fav char-setup, but i stopped playing it when i moved and didn't have a flatrate anymore :/

I try to play Diablo II whenever I get a bit of free time - something I'm a little short of at the moment. This is why I play it over something like WoW though - I can play a little here and there and don't have to worry about getting value for money each month!

My character's a level 73 too - just a lowly Amazon. I say lowly as although I play Ladder, 99% of the time I play alone which seems to badly affect the drops I get and obviously I don't get any trading done so all the stuff I've found so far is just stuff I've stumbled across myself. As such, my character's not good enough to take on the statues at the Arreat Summit on Nightmare! I know that with another character's help I'd fly through that part but I want my character to be good enough to beat them alone. Still, I keep plodding on....

i use to play a v/t pally pretty seriously for about 2 years and eventually quit due to the the newest patch/hacked items/..ect ..ect.

I bought the Battle Chest back in Oct. but I just couldn't get into the game. Maybe I will try it again.

Best online RPG I can remember!

They need a sequel!

That seems to happen to a lot of people. Which character class did you start out with? When I first bought this game years ago, I started out with the Necromancer, which at the time, was a pretty hard character to use since the summoned skeletons weren't as strong. But I was able to beat Normal mode with him. He was a really fun character to use.

I'd suggest using a Necromancer, Amazon, or maybe even a Sorceress if you end up trying it again. Most of the fun in this game is pretty much collecting items and runes.

Hmm, I'm not so sure - what would you add?

[unwinddesign]

I remember playing Diablo II (not the expansion) single player. Great game, but it did get a little tedious...hack hack potion hack potion hack potion hack hack potion pick up gold save repeat...

I started out as an Amazon.

Another good one was Dungeon Siege, but it still didn't alleviate the ad naseum right mouse clicking.

Never played either online, as I didn't have broadband at the time (and tying up the phone line for hours on end = bad).

I used to love DII, but have not played it at all in the last year or so and have lost all my characters since then... Would you rush me?

I don't know what they're adding but I did read somewheres that Blizzard is working on another Diablo sequel.

I played like crazy towards the end of the first ladder season in 1.10. Once the new season started and we had to start over, it kinda lost its appeal. I've dabbled ever since, but I've never been into it as much as I was back then.

Dungeon Siege literally played itself. All you had to do was click to move the party and the characters would attack anything in sight. That game was even worse than Diablo in respect to doing nothing but chugging potions.

[devilman]

Is there anything that tops Diablo II in this kinda genre? Just curious to see if I'm missing out on something possibly.

Maybe not topping it, but for offline hack and slash on the console side, the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games are pretty good too.

Ah, I'd forgotten about those. My GF and I finished Dark Alliance on the Cube (bit of a mixed game that - we enjoyed it but it was rather flawed in places). Plus I've got the sequel on the Xbox sitting unplayed... might have to rectify that soon!

well, as much as i loved the game, it has TONS of flaws and can be improved a lot of ways, from level design to skill system improvements

If you are on USEast Ladder, then I can rush you all the way through Nightmare. My Amazon SUCKS in Hell because if I run into anyone with Fire Resist, I can't do anything. It was more built to play through Hell with a group of people.

Let me know your account name if you're on USEast Ladder if you're really interested in getting rushed and playing again. I could use more friends to play with in that game anyway.

[jonathonwillie]

i got a lvl 90 hammerdin loaded to the teeth

account name is: colorless-sky

add me to play and trade. I'm also selling items if people are interested.

[Nirvana]

jonathonwillie, are you on USEast Ladder? If so, I'd be interested in playing and trading with you some time.
