Diablo II Patch v1.10 is out now!
Finally! It's been like, years.
Oh wait, it *has* been years. :p I'm totally going to start on the ladder and hopefuly get some nice new item drops. Hopefully the bugged and hacked items have been taken care of. So, thoughts? I'll report back later once I've had the opportunity to fully explore it. |
wow, little delayed hu??
|
I only lost 2 items! :)
|
YAYYAYAYYAYAYYAYA
|
I lost my CD's and cases, so no D2 for me =( Oh well.
|
Guess I have to check and see if anything is lost (shouldn't be, I don't hack anything). Prophecy.. lost that one armor, didja? ;) I'll be starting up some characters.. what to make, what to make?
|
Oh, man. I wish I didn't know that finally happend. I have to use all my will power to not start playing that game again. Hopefully, I can fend it off...
Oh, man. |
world of warcraft beta is gonna be soon I hope :)
|
Cool, may try it out.
|
I'll check it out as soon as I pry my D2 CD out of my old, fried computer.
|
I played it a little today. I'm a big fan of the changes. They made it more challenging, got rid of the hacks, and just made it over all more fun. I am excited to see the "world event" in action.
|
Hell of alot tougher now. Thats a good thing ( Till I get killed all the time and get pissed )
|
damn....How on earth am i to squeeze that into my busy schedule of work, family, friends, tv, Trials of Atlantis for Dark age of Camelot....
hmmm...maybe going without food and sleep for a few weeks will do me good :D |

Wow people are still addicted to that game? I never got into it like my friends did. Looked kind of silly in that level killing giant cows.

Diablo II version 1.10
I and I assume many other thousands of people have been waiting for the new version of diablo II to come out. Now that it has I must say that I am very dissapointed. For instance, people created hacked items because Hell mode was impossible to beat. Now they took out the hacked items so its really hard again and THEN increased the difficulty so that its uber impossible. Now theres more stupid visualy effects too which are completely pointless but took a long time to make. I was just wondering what your opinion of it was.
|
Well, I haven't been able to play yet, I quit with 1.09(d or e, not even sure which version of it...) with hardcore players, and just about every item in the game. I checked back to www.battle.net every once in a while to see the progress, and from what i've heard, they've made one hell of an addition to the game. Anyways, check out the other post on this subject, probably get more replies there.
|
Well it has been a huge addition but mostly they added tons of bullshit. Months of work down the drain for Blizzard if you ask me.
|
I quit playing a while ago... I dunno, id almost rather play the first one...
|
its out and it makes the game really hard... all the monster got bad ass, i really don't like it
|
i used to play so much d2x... but i stopped after the dupes

Oh well, I'll live. At least they haven't done away with it completely. I'm actually rediscovering how much fun it is to rough it out. On a related note, I honestly don't understand all the people who complain about how hard the game is after losing their bugged and hacked items. What's the fun in any game without some kind of challenge? Just quit the game already if you can't handle playing it the way it was designed. |
exactly
I'm now lvl 22! and Act Three is a bitch! :) |

Also, This other 1.10 thread was out a day before you. :) http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthr...threadid=33522 |
Rad! Are you still working on that Necro? Mine is at 25 now and we're finally in Act 4.
Regarding my theory on making cow levels: I joined a public game in Hell and someone was able to make a Hell cow level, so I don't know what it was that prevented me from using the recipe to open a portal (unless they changed the recipe). I'm pretty sure I haven't received credit for killing the Cow King. You know it's funny. I use to toss all the low level set and unique items, but now I get all excited when a monster drops a Deathspade Axe or something. :lol: There's some synergistic bonuses in skill sets now. I haven't figured out what skills to use as my main attack yet, but I can't wait until I can use my fire golem. There is this really cool thing that happens with certain expansion sets that make your character glow like an Amazon's Valkyrie. So far it works with full IK's, full M'avina's, full Aldur's, and full Tal Rasha's. With full Trang Oul's set, my Necromancer changes shape completely, and runs at what look like two or three times as fast as normal. I still don't get the secret to releasing the Diablo Clone. Maybe after I've defeated normal... |
Well I just got the game sunday. I am already level 17 and I have 110000 gold. And I just got the azurewrath sword. Enough boasting.
I like the new music, unless this is some music ive never heard before but yea its harder, but thats cool cuz I level faster. |
Actually in 1.10 you level slower than before. Geuss you missed it by a little. There is a small difference between a challenge and completely impossible to beat in a decent amount of time. Oh and sorry I'm just really lazy and didnt feel like looking for another diablo thread.
|
I quit a long time ago, probably wont play 1.10.
|
You can kill stuff fast enough, you just need to get some synergy with your character. Or be a necromancer.
P.S. Diablo Clone is a pussy. |
hey, if you have such little problem with the clone, help me kill him. I could use one of those little anihillus charms. :D
Look for Czernobog[TFP] on East. |
This means the people that had good legit item will now be able to rule the universe as they diserve.
I'm gonna have to try the patch. |
I like that My javalins self repair brings them back after they reach 0 durability.
I like Cow lvl being crappy. I like new items I dislike Horrible randomization of act 5 mobs. I dislike not being able to see some people's Equipment(bug) |
I'll be able to try it soon enough, gotta go get cd key from my friend (lent him game for a while). I hope people dont exploit things to soon......... But its a game thats popular enough. Anyways, is there a class that just completely soars above others now? Or how much did they change it?
|
I put a few points in the wrong places (started making a Blood Golem with Iron maiden before realizing how they nerfed the fuck outta the combo)... oh well I have 8 character prospects that I'm making. Now to just pass that 2 hours limit on all of them.. thats 16 hours of gaming ahead of me (well 15.. Verizon fuckin' cut out at 3am last night.. so I only got one hour on the sorcy).

Can we still use maphack?

How do we do the "World Event." I know it has something to do with the SOJ's sold to merchant, but no one has told me anything. And I really want to get that small charm!
|
|
OK, I haven't touched Diablo for the better part of a year or so, but I'll take a look at 1.10.
|
useast.. pally.. lvl 44 finally i think.. im currently tanking normal countess in black marsh/tower for runes and nm grizwald in tristam.. (he can drop up to TC 66 armor and weapons in nightmare)
in 1.10 ladder that is.. ladder you can tranz runes all the way to a zod.. currently i cant get a better weapon than a raskescar axe and a steelclash shield.. normally in 1.09 im screwed.. no so in 1.10 ladder.. you can upgrade uniques (most anyways) to exceptional and elite using runes and such.. so those two items gonna rock soon.. *costorf4 is my account im on on east ladder only |
oh and warning... remember those frozen beasties in act 5 and the blood lord demon in act 4.. one blows a ice frost (ice inferno) and the other a fire breath (fire inferno) in 1.10 they will drain your life quick.. (dont sell sojs to get the world event.. a bliz rep told me that isnt the way to get the diablo clone to appear.. its all random)
|
Stupid diablo...I stopped playing a long while back when I would get randomly kicked from my game (not b.net) contantly. I even opened the ports on my router like it said to, but no luck! Oh well!
|
if you idle too long you get kicked, I do.. but as for kicking dropped? that rarely, if ever happens.
|
Happens every 5 minutes to me! :( Gotta be a connection problem. I tried it on my other computer and it worked fine. I hate computers!
|
didnt they remove players8 in the 1.10?
|
hey, im on a college network, and port 4000 or whatever is blocked...so i cant play D2 anymore. if anyone has an idea on how to get around this let me know :/ thanks!
|
havn't played it, but harder is better in my mind. I want this kind of game to take as long as possible to beat. fuck being rushed. what a waste of time.
|
egads I want to play this so badly. I have to wait till dec 11th though. Once the semesters over, good bye sleep

well, i finally got around to playing it, and in the ladder, its awesome, people actually dont fuck around as much. we got through act 1 the full thing in maybe an hour or 2, (andy dropped us lots of rares :)) and it was all right again, although i haven't been able to see anything new, and im afraid of hardcore now. With all the synergies even MORE dmg is possible at low levels.
|
hardcore, lol. I have a 2nd account on USWest I use for hardcore. The patch is really scary in hardcore. Come one blizzard, most hardcore players already grouped together to stay alive. Some of the parts in this game is to hard not to for hardcore players without uber gear.
Now, the monsters have been beefed up and leech doesn't work as well as it used too. I've seen 12 people die in USWest hardcore since the patch and I'm determined to make sure my lvl 92 pally isn't one of them... I never made it past act v hell in 1.09 (lag sucks in the that area right before baal). I don't think I will make it past now. To tell the truth I'm scared to even do norm cows in hardcore now :( But hardcore aside 1.10 is cool in a freaky kinda way |
so I said to heck with it and downloaded the patch. Man this is harder. stupid time delay on big spells. Still I am enjoying it.
|
Well there is a bug - Anyone can join a cowgame, you dont have to beat baal.
You can't make, but the portal is open to all. This has it's down side too, no one can kill the cows! |
So who made the cow game?
|
Quote:
|
a spearazon can solo cows and so can a necro, it would be easier for the necro once he got a few kills but it can be done solo.
|
Er, huh? I was under the impression that they had changed the rules about making cow games in 1.10. I have several lvl 90+ characters who were able to make cow games up until the patch, so does this only apply to newly slayed Baal characters in 1.10? Every time I tried to make a cow portal the mouse-over text on Wirt's leg would show up red in a NM or Hell game. Seems to work fine in a Normal game though. I'm pretty sure I haven't received credit for killing the Cow King since the patch. Am I overlooking some minor detail? As far as I know nothing's changed other than the fact that I can no longer open NM or Hell cow portals.
|
Oh man I was unhealthily addicted to this game a year and a half ago. My roommate and I would get back from class, do no studying and play until way to late. Weekends we wouldn't sleep until midmorning when the realms died down and we'd be back by the afternoon's once activity picked up again, only stopping to eat, and sometimes not even that. Then my college messed up my net connection and I couldn't connect to battle.net for the next year. I was devastated at first, but it was a blessing in disguise. I am tempted to return to D2, but afraid. I think i'll stick with my occasional game of StarCraft with a friend of mine now and then. It is nice to have battle.net back however, since I am off campus with DSL now...
Fighting instillation urges.....YEARGH |
The game pays attention to where you got the leg, I'm guessing you got the leg in Normal, so it only wants to work in normal, thats my guess.
Yeah I've found a bug, and also something that just needs to be fixed.. where do I go to let them know? |
VitaminH: Give in! I know I did. I've been in your shoes, and I continue to live that life, but much less severely these days. I suggest that you reinstall. DEW EET DEW EET DEW EET.
Quote:
Not sure where you'd report bugs, but perhaps you can find out on one of the forums on blizzard.com or battle.net. |
I updated last weekend. Slightly harder, but I don't think it's going to hold my interest much longer.
|
Quote:
Course maybe now that I don't have any cool stuff anymore since I let my accounts fall by the wayside it won't be as interesting...hrmpf... |
Been playing a while, so here's my report.
The game is alot harder but it should be, it shouldn't stay just as easy between nightmare and hell. My necromancer is level 63 and just made it to act 1 hell. I wish I would have stayed in nightmare until 70 at least. I thought it was ridiculous at first but after re-learning how to play it gets easier and easier. You don't go new acts as fast as you would before, and I depend on my merc more than before also. It has actually been so fun just playing the game that I never really payed attention to my level until the early 50s. There hasn't been a time(yet) that I get into a pattern of doing the exact same thing over and over while watching the xp bar crawl upward. My javazon can still do hell baal runs more than half the time. There are some times when the random monsters are too nasty. |
this game is great!!!
|
I managed to get my necro to lvl 72 in hell. I'd suggest pushing on and not sticking around in NM since you'll get better experience and actually be making progress throughout the game. I play with an amazon so I don't have to rely too heavily on casting except for amp damage, bonewall, and corpse explosion. Sometimes I'll have to resummon my fire golem, but that doesn't seem to happen often now that i've maxed it out and put about 10 points into golem mastery.
I found a silks of the victor today, but it turned out to be ethereal, dammit. I guess my merc will be using this one when she's able to wear it (using a normal rogue who is only lvl 47 and keeps dying too much). So far I've been pretty lucky with drops that has helped me out a bit. I'm using mostly low level items, but they seem to do the trick: torch of iro, stealth armor, lore circlet, "eth" necro head, a caster belt that i crafted with some nice mana regen, some nice caster rings with resists, a +1 rare necro ammy with fcr and some other stats, sigon's boots for the cold resistance and frw, and a pair of crappy gloves with lit resist. I'm trying to craft some better caster gloves if possible. I wouldn't say that I'm struggling in hell mode, but it's definitely a challenge. So far I've only died maybe 3-4 times total and that was due to lag, and once out of stupidity (i.e. herding too many monsters that run way too fast in the dark woods for example). Best game ever. |
I lost interest a long time ago with Diablo...
|
US east as well, lvl 52 pally on ladder
Ive been doing normal Baal runs (get almost a lvl each run with eight people!) Now I'm doing act 2 of NM. What are the cube recipies for getting better runes for ladder chars? |
Quote:
|
have fun trying those cube recipies, getting your hands on all the parts needed to make those recipies would be harder than finding the item the cubing is supposed to create :(
|
If you can't find all the items for the recipes, you can always trade for them or shop/gamble for them. You've just got to know where to look. Do countess runs for runes. Baal, Pindleskin, Mephisto, and maybe Nihlanthak (he can drops items with an ilvl of 98 if you want to re-roll the stats on a small charm) for general magic finding. Hell Bloody Runs will usually drop nice magical elite items for the crafting recipes (like vampirebone and vambraces, or my favorite caster belt recipe using vampirefang belts or sharkskin belts). All you need to do is start collecting low-end runes and transmuting them into higher ones. With all the El's and Eld's you find, you should be able to do that in no time. :p
|
Lucky for me I sold my D2 CDs, or I'd have to give it a whirl and get hopelessly addicted for the third time. (First time was when I first got it, second time was when TOB came out.)
|
The reason why it took so long I heard is that it was just one guy doing it... so it's not *that* much of an expense on their part.
|
1.10 rocks so what if its harder, so what if hacked items are deleted, I know that I don't have any problems with that. But it is more fun and as it was stated earlier you don't look at your levels all that closley because you are haveing so much fun.
|
I just thought I'd let you all knwo that my barbarian finally got a Life Steal Ring!! woohoo!!! hehe :)
|
I can't believe that there are already level 90+ characters on the uswest ladder. Finally beat the bid D in hell mode with my level 79 necromancer today (I feel so far behind now). I *knew* I shouldn't have eaten or slept that day! :P
Hopefully I'll be able to find some ladder-only gear so I won't feel like I've spent all this time struggling with mediocre gear only to be converted to a non-ladder character once the ladder season is over. I admit, that's my main incentive for playing on the ladder (aside from being isolated from the folks who've accumulated godly gear over time). If only they hadn't made the Durance of Hate so ridiculously huge, I'd do more Meph MF runs. He still seems to drop more unique items than anyone else so far. Diablo dropped nothing but rares, that bastard. I have still yet to see the Diablo Clones in person. |
ok.. You're saying once one person reaches lvl 99 the ladder will end? I heard that as a rumor once before, and I'm still not believing it... That would just be utter shit.. people racing to lvl 99 over and over and over again.... I want the ladder to play in a community where there aren't 50 million SOJs.. not where I have to create a character over and over again every 2 weeks!!!
|
Quote:
Does anyone know when the ladder season ends? And will you be starting a new character on the new ladder, or continuing your current one? |
first off collide is a She.. presumebly a cute one at that ;)
After I know how long they'll last, then I'll figure out what I'll be doing character-wise. |
I like a lot of the new cube recipes, but I'm a little miffed that they changed the 3 healing + 3 mana = 1 rejuvenation recipe. I thought it was too good to be true, though. At least it'll use up our gem surplus.
I'm kicking ass with my paladin, and my girlfriend is sucking with her druid. Neither of us had played a druid extensively before now, so I guess they just suck. |
Quote:
:lol: :lol: :lol: what type of druid is she? Shapeshifting druids are the only decent type once you get to hell. Pallys are great support players just make sure you know who to build one or your pally will suck in hell too. Lastly, the great druid gear is a lot harder and a fewer in number than most other classes items. Druids can be awesome if they have the right build, elemental druid isn't that build... |
Yeah but some elemental builds are just fun to play with :)
Paladins can be great fun you build your stats right as well. Vengeance/Conviction is still great. Then spend the rest of your points evenly in the single resists to buff your vengeance. :) I personally don't go for the mainstream characters that everyone makes. I choose the strange combos, tho I did make a vengeance/conviction pally... started getting popular as I made it oddly enough. I have a meditation pally in the works. He's fun as i don't need mana steal and can cast B Hammer forever.. but damn the more I play AS him.. the more I want to play ALONGSIDE him.. heh. Summoning Druids are fun too.. they're tough at later difficulties, but they're still fun. :) Also pally's can own in hell because unlike other classes they can still have kick ass Resists in Hell. |
Hehe, I still have a level 80 elemental druid from .09 wearing full aldurs. He's totally orange and has that valkyrie glow for arming the full set. It's neat, but I will probably never play this fellow again, so right now he's just going to be my set mule.
So, as of last night, I finally met with the DC in the middle of doing a Meph run. Even with some help from an amazon and sorc, we couldn't hold him off because he spawned in Travincial, where those Zealots heal each other. It's bad enough that the DC regenerates health! Tried bonewalling him while the sorc used static field and hydra on him, and the zon using a buriza with nature's peace. Turns out that the "prevent monster healing" only works if you actually hit the monster, and the duration only lasts 20-30 seconds, reseting after each hit. We didn't stand a chance. After several deaths we decided we couldn't do it, so we just proceeded with our Meph run. *shakes fist* At least I only died 3 times, I guess. My necro is now close to level 83 and we just killed Baal in Hell with hardly any trouble. Tried doing a cow run, but they seem to have a lot of health, and we just couldn't kill them fast enough! I guess all there's left to do now is level up to 99 until the ladder season ends (whenever that is), or do a bunch of magic finding. What I wouldn't kill to get a boneshade lich wand! Next time I'll be better prepared for that dreaded DC. |
I hand an element druid with a basicly all the gear my pally now has. He was great fun till I got to hell and then all the deaths kinda of kept me from enjoying him.
And Collide you saw the DC? Except for those death's I'd say you were lucky. I've been trying to find one in a game for ages now with no luck :( |
Yup, I didn't manage to get a screenshot of him out of all the excitement and scrambling, but I did get one of the text at the top where it says "Diablo walks the Earth" while I was talking to Ormus in the Kurast Docks. I know a couple people who've seen him several times a day, but I've only seen him once, so I don't know if they're being completely honest with me. :p
I've seen screenshots of him in red and green, but when we spawned him in Travincial, he was green. I still remember that much without taking any screenshots. :) The SOJ counter was going off every couple seconds instead of every few minutes, and it became increasingly frequent before he finally appeared. The ground shook and then the text appeared at the top signifying his arrival. He won't escape us next time. RAWR!! |
update:
lol gave up the lvl 44 pally at lvl 72 .. zeal/fanat wont work with out kicking stuff.. started a whirlwind druid.. im in act 3 now at lvl 76 im soloing hell so far.. also on useast. yeah i maxed so far.. hurricane (wont kill cold immunes in hell) with synergyes almost does 2k dmg average. tornado maxed deals out 3k dmg hehe why this skills? NO CASTING DELAY.. SPAM SPAM SPAM IT SOME MORE!!! Cyclone armor good elemental dmg reduction. twister.. mostly usless but synergies.. each of these 4 give synergies to the others. i can now tank nm diablo in under 5 min. my pally is now using a bstar, upgraded steelclash kiteshield now a dragon shield of def 150 hehe and yes ive found gheed charm and annihilius, found a kicking new uni ring.. carrion wind.. the psn nova chance is sweet but hopeing for a natures peace ring.. that way i get "slain monsters rest in peace" (ladder only item) that way you kill something it stays dead. but necros and such hate it cuz you cant use the corpses afterwards. abotu annihilius.. ever since i got it ive noticed an increass in super unique bosses everywhere.. woot but a pain in hell NOTE: in hell and some of nightmare beware fire enchanteded super unique bosses.. they have uber dmg.. my sc barb died in one hit with over 5k life |
yeah seems diablo clone will, once teh message diablo walks the earth will spawn at the nearest super unique boss you find. the three i killed were in act 1 hell.. lol took me over an hour to kill but i got me charm ..
|
Well, honestly, I dont like the new patch. Dont say its cause my items were taken away, I'm fully legit. The new patch has afew things that I really like, but over all the patch was a waste of time. Old chars cant do well most of the time, and new chars take weeks on end to build... I liked being able to level fast because I dont have all the time in the world to spend on a game. So I guess blizzard can kiss my money goodbye, cause they're not getting any more of it.
|
wait, your mean your going stop buying blizzard games all together b/c of this patch? If so that's silly. Or if for some odd ball reason you were paying a monthly fee to play this game someone seriously ripped you off...
Although I do agree the new patch has nerfed some char builds to the point that they are totally useless now... |
If you payed monthly, you have someone to sue. If you REALLY like 1.09... Go find the 1.09 patch and play that somewhere, I do believe there is some guy that set up his own servers to play on, he might run a 1.09, if not there's always single-player/LAN games.
If you're giving up on blizz completely? Thats a harsh move. I mean this.. IS.. an old game. I mean look at Half Life, that game is freakin' old too, and then there is the CS mod.. lots of people played it up until about STEAM and then they stopped. Though I don't recall people saying they'll never buy another game by that company again. You can stop playing the game whenever you want, but to quit because of a patch? Sorry but thats just sad. (I really hope this isn't what you meant) Collide, that happens with every patch though. They would nerf some skills, buff others in every patch and people had to fix things. Same thing happened in 1.10. So once again things get changed a bit Ah well, I'm still having a blast and so is my best friend so thats all I really care about. If you're on USEast, drop me a line, my LADDER account is AnimatedArmor I have 3 others :D (though non ladder) |
actually.. it took me 5 hours to reach lvl 71 on new ladder.. by playing public games to lvl and get through acts.. and a few solo mf runs.. not hard.. its just hard when you get to act 5 and have nothing in nightmare.
|
you guys play more hardcore in D2 than I do ;)

DII 1.10 Ladder teammates
I saw a few people mentioning their account names for DII and thought I'd start a new thread just for that purpose. My wife and I have reduced ourselves to only playing in private games with one or two other personal friends in order to keep from being harrassed or crashed hacked etc.
Sounds like we have a number of people here that are interested more in playing than ruining the game for others, and we'd love to play with more people in the game. However we only play hardcore!! If interested on USEast, I'm Ahnicus1 with a lvl30 ladder barb. I have higher level druid and sorcie that are non ladder. The wife has a lvl30 ladder druid. |
Sometimes I feel like the only person who plays on USWest. :p
|
USwest here as well!!

the game is now a pain in the ass... my lvl 96 zon stil has her wf but i lost both .08 shakos, she can barely solo raven, and i guess i never got credit for killing the ancients in hell... so i cant even go into the tp for worldstone hehe.... the game is a shitload harder now, as ive said before, it takes me now like 7 hours to hit lvl 76 as opposed to almost instantaneously when the cow lvling was up. ive found a few ladder specific items and have a few new sorcs each around lvl 82-84 one with an occy! yet since points are not maxed as well as synergies she cannot handle anything much further than act 3 hell.... thats solo... if other people are in... then shes gettin hell... so i decided to make a synergistic one element sorc and shes doin quite well... yet i dont like the fact in hell most creatures (uniques have 2 of the 4 (main) resistances) i dont know what to do.
|
Hey I play games hardcore.. but when it comes to D2.. holy crap when you people have a few lvl 80's SINCE the 1.10 patch! Yikes!
Of course, D2 IS my casual game. ;) but YIKES! all the same :D |
I was just going to start this thread. I'm hoping to find some people that play Softcore USeast. Help with transfers, questing, lvling, etc.. etc...
My account names are: Cybermike Cybermike1 and Cybermikex |
I play USEast Ladder HC as well, lvl 71 Fire druid at the moment, if you're looking for some help or something my acct name is *TheFallenAngel.
