Diablo 2 just turned 20

[Lilura]

I'm beating hell baal

You couldn't beat your way out of a paper bag, scrub.

Might as well just settle for good old ATMA.

External item manager/database > PlugY, anyway.

Still have a huge self-found ATMA database. It's no longer supported but works flawlessly and is available for download still.

I want to use it to enable stuff normally inaccessible in single player. Anyway I fixed it just now, found this line in some random forum among german gibberish: "NBPlayersByDefault=0", tried it and it worked. So now I get to use both PlugY bonuses and ATMA, I guess.

ATMA is my fav D2 utility, just enable Ladder-only content and you're good. Even comes with a still unsurpassed drop calc.

I've got both going, too (mainly for +stat info offered by PlugY). But PlugY shared stash gets bloated with items too quickly.

 

[luj1]

Lilura Which versions are you using in that combo? ATMA V, PlugY 10.00 and LoD 1.13c?

 

[Apostle Hand]

diablo 2 is pretty outdated game to me. can't save whenever you want, all combat no story...too much grinding...

Don't you have some Raymond Chandler to read, laddie? I don't think you're done with them all.

Yeah PlugY in game stash cannot possibly be as convenient as moving items between characters in ATMA without even opening the game.

I'm using GoMule + PlugY 10 + LoD 1.13c at the moment. In addition, I have D2multires going on a parallel, self-modded 1.12a install. I also have MapHack going with custom config. Finally, I've got a few MXL installs backed up.

 

[Multidirectional]

I'm not willing to play without MultiRes and since it seems there's nothing like it that works on versions above 1.12 I won't be getting to try them.

I'm saving time to be an authority on RPG subjects

That's still no excuse to skip on Raymond Chandler, kid.

I agree. Only old people with dementia play D2 because they lack the capability of learning something modern and feel more safe in something they have spent hundrends of hours on and can keep playing automatically without having to stress their old decomposing brains.

Oh fuck me, joust found a version of MultiRes that works with 1.13c. Internet is a confusing place. Could I make it work with even later versions too by chance?

*edit* Oh nevermind, already found a bug with it, deposit/withdraw buttons don't work. Reinstalled and back to 1.12a. Good thing this game installs at lightning speed nowadays.

 

[Chippy]

I might go back to this. Completed 1, but never completed Diablo 2 because I can't really put up with all of the clicking. At the time it also couldn't compare to other RPGs, but today I expect the game will be a breath of fresh air.

I've got the CDs around here somewhere...

 

[Mastermind]

unlike mephisto p8 diablo was a bit of a pain but he dropped a Dol so I can't complain


edit: shieet this is tedious as hell and i'm too busy now, no time or patience to deal with the arcane sanctuary as summoner. someone remind me to finish this when Christmas comes around

 

[Lilura]

In process of optimizing Lightsorc:

She's already Hell-proof but not on par with Windforce Bowazon.

Best items I've got for her so far are: Perfect Eschuta's Temper and Light Facets (extremely rare). Griffon's Eye is 17/14 and 22/19 LFd.

Merc is wielding Infinity for Conviction.

 

[luj1]

Infinity in SP takes about 20K LK runs

 

[Citizen]

Lightsorc is the basicbitch of d2 classes, play something cool instead, lura

 

[octavius]

I thought Ice Sorceress was the basic one.

[*-*/\--/\~]

Fuck, I feel old. I remember the paper box. I remember mentioning I had a level 89 barbarian character on a random bus trip and suddenly having like 7 worshippers. Damn nostalgia.

 

[TemplarGR]

People salivating over 20 year old archaic obsolete games.... Come on guys, i am a massive Skyrim fan and i haven't even played it in 1.5 year because i find THAT old and i have already completed all the content enough times already. Proper gamers need something new, we shouldn't rest on the past like some kind of grandmas. Bring on the next gen!
