I want to play Diablo II with you guys, but we need a time and date.
How does January 31 at 7:00PM EST work for everyone?
As for the other details, all communication will be done via a Skype conference call (unless someone suggests a better alternative). /players 8 will most likely be set, so the more people we have the better. I will host the game on my computer, so if you can't get on b.net for any reason (such as your copy of Diablo II being a PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE one) you'll still be able to play. As expected, you will be required to roll a new character. We can discuss who will play what prior to the start of the game.
-
Hmm...I may well hop on this.
-
I figured you would. ;)
-
I need a copy of D2 but I would love to join...if I can get a copy
-
Torrents are by far the easiest way of doing things. And there are plenty of them out there to obtain your PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE copy from too.
-
I believe 7PM EST is 5 MTN time.. Depending on if I work, I should be cool. The way hours have been going lately, I doubt I'll work anyway.
-
I believe 7PM EST is 5 MTN time..
Correct.
-
I suppose so. I just got dropped fro both of my classes due to some stupid rule.
-
I'll have to take a night off of FFXI haha. Just shooting for running through Normal A5? I'll make a bone necro, they're pretty trash later even with good gear but they basically rape normal.
-
I'm thinking of making a pally of some sort, any ideas on builds?
-
Smite pallies are the best way to go.
-
I was thinking more along the lines of some weird build, not something mind numbingly common, lol.
-
I think I might play as a pally, focusing on defensive auras. Still kind of on the fence between that, a summoning
furfag rogue, and some sort of barb.
Just shooting for running through Normal A5?
Yep.
-

I was going to be a bone Necro...
I really don't know how to play the other classes well, so something that's not that important to team success would be great for me.
-

Well, it's not hard to be a barb tank... And tanks can be helpful just by existing.
And if you're going defensive spec, maybe I should go offense... And holy freeze can be a decent corpse destruction method, too (which can really come in handy sometimes).
-
Yeah, I think I'm going to be a defense pally. It'll be a nice change of pace, if nothing else.
-
Alright, I'll take offensive then. Any idea who's taking what for their hirelings? It's nice to have a good collection, instead of everyone having the same.
-
I suppose I could be a tank, as long as someone gave me pointers for my talent tree.
-
OKAY, the day is nigh. Who's in?
-
I've got friends coming down from college and were going to the beach, so maybe. What are we using for voice chat again? I'll need to download it.
-
OKAY, the day is nigh. Who's in?
I'm in, and we're using Skype for voice.
-

This. :)
-
If it's a preferred alternative, we can use the Ventrilo server I use for FFXI, I don't think it has a limit on how many people can be on, or at least we've never hit it with 25+, but Skype works too. Also, I'm in. I've got a friend of mine who wants to play with us as well, if we're not full.
-
So is this something you'd have to have a developed char. to play in or what? D:
-

Nope, we're planning on doing a Normal run form A1 through to the end on brand new chars.
If we'd had something going before and we were all around the same level, we might have started with premade characters, but that not being the case, we're starting fresh.
-
PHEW then maybe I can play haha. Time depending. I'm off the whole day today, so I just gotta square that piece of the day away. :D yey yey yey
I'm probably gonna be an amazon btw. spears ftw
-
And to be clear, we're running on 1.12, right (I've got a 1.10 install right now, and Hell unleashed installed to another folder.)
-

Even so, I think I would have still preferred starting fresh. If you start a new Normal game with existing characters most of Act 1 winds up being more boring than it normally is.
If we had existing characters and started on Nightmare or Hell, that'd be a different story. Speaking of which, if this goes well you guys might have to save your characters for another run. *wink wink*
And to be clear, we're running on 1.12, right
Yep.
-
I've got a friend who is gonna try to join us as well, but he may not be able to run Skype and D2 at the same time (His laptop is a genuine piece of shit).
Oh, and I may be able to use my brother's mic for Skype, but I might not, and I might not be able to use it the whole time if I even get it, so I may be forced to use the onboard mic on my laptop, which apparently generates a considerable amount of background noise.
-
So uh, what's going on with Skype?
-
Well, I have it installed, Spec has it, I dunno about the other guys. I've added a Spectere, but other than the username, no info is shared, so I don't know if that is spec's real Skype account. If you want, add bobbiasv2 (Bobbias was taken) so I'll have you at least (if you have an account yet).
-
Mine is Yeoldpube but I just started dinner so I won't Be on till like 530 my time probably.
-
Alright, I've added you.
I wonder where the hell spec is...
-
I wonder where the hell spec is...
Not here
-
*cough*
Yea we didn't ever really get a list of who's attending lol
-
Spectere, if you see this, maybe you should contact someone about getting into the game...
-
Fuck me I've been busy.
Sorry about that. Things got crazy today and shit at the last minute. :s Calling da Sharde now.
-
I couldn't connect to boobies no matter what I did. Opened the correct ports, then even opened a damn DMZ to this PC, nothing. Connection still kept getting interrupted, NPCs not responding, maps not loading, etc. It looked like everything was fine running around town, but when spec joined and we went to the Den of Evil, everything started fucking up. Oh well the idea was fun maybe another time.
-
Balls. Maybe your computer is allergic to canada....
Any idea when we'll pick this back up?
-

OH SO IT'S MY FAULT NOW HUH WELL FARK YOU BLACK PERSON
Sorry you had problems. :( We could have definitely exploited used you.
Any idea when we'll pick this back up?
The week after next, same time?
-
Works for me.
Weekends are fine for me until I start working at my Co-op, wherever that might be. Then I'll have to figure out my schedule. Maybe I'll get lucky and have standard hours.
-
Okay.
If the other people playing are available, I'll update the initial post with that info.
-
As useless as I am, I should be good to go
-
I assure you, I'm probably uselesser than you are. :)
I *might* wind up changing my class, though. Defensive pally isn't really doing it for me. Shouldn't be a problem as long as I push the new char to lv.18-ish.
-

I was pretty useless, lol. I couldn't take a hit at ALL.
-
Not to rain on parades, but weekend after next's no good for me, that's Katsucon weekend and I'm staffing again.
-
Oh oh, right.
How about the weekend after the weekend after next? Err, the 21st?
-
Sorry I missed that, hopefully I'll be able to hop into the next game.
-
We're all at around level 18 and at the very beginning of act 3 if you want to catch up. :)
-
I guess I could be ok with the 21st. Just means celebrating is the weekend after instead of the weekend before. Bloody birthday is in the middle of the week
-
Well, a friend of mine's home for reading week from the 13th to the 22nd, so I'll be drinking with him sometime, but that likely won't interfere, then I'm off on reading week from the 20th to the 1st, essentially.
So if all else fails, I'll be available on the weekend of the 27th to the 28th.

Well, then the 21st might not be the best weekend for us. We'll probably be busy.
-
Unexplored avenue: what about this coming weekend?
-
Sounds fine for me.
-
Im free
-

I already have a barb somewhere near that area, can't I use him?
As for this weekend, seems good to me.
-
Im free
You're always free :P
-
I'll explore your avenue. :D
This weekend's ok for me I think, I don't think I'm doing anything.
-
You're always free :P
lol, most of the time yes. Sometimes I busy, and then I'm not free, and then I have to start charging.
-
fuguah
I'm out this evening. Meesa got things to do. :( Sorry guiz.
How about one of these upcoming Fridays? I'm going to have time free after work on Fridays from now on, probably 8PM and later.
-
uggh my weekend is ruined now lol
not really I can find something else to do rather easily lol
-

WAY TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD. :(

-
WAY TO MAKE ME FEEL BAD. :(
lol I try, sometimes
-
lol I don't try
fix't
Edit: and for some reason, I'm not too surprised it didn't happen today. I had a feeling something like this would happen.
-
fix't
Thats most of the time lol
-
What about this Sunday? I figure most of you are heathens and have nothing set up. Also I'm still at a loss here...
-
I usually try to go to bed relatively early on sundays, but I could manage to get in on it for a while.
-
I'm busy sunday nights, so I'm no go for sunday.

Fridays are ok I could make it work
-
I ended up going out to dinner with some friends, a friend of mine recently had her book published. Sorry.

Not a problem, we didn't have any D2 plans anyway. It was just too inconvenient. Also, what book?
-
What about this Sunday?
Sundays won't work for me. I have to be at work by 9am every Monday so I don't like to get to bed too late.
Also, what book?
This.
-
This.
An accompanying link would be nice. Either that, or something has REALLY gone over my head.....
-
I believe he was also wondering what book.
lol.
-

lol.
I second that

I third that.

lol.
I think you were missing his point.
-
So did this just die? Or will it have life again?
-

I've been wondering that myself.

MAYHAPS.
I dunno...start listing some possible dates or something. Saturdays and Friday nights should work for me most of the time.

Let me reanimate this thread .... We need to do this again some time, friday nights and saturdays (all day and night) work for me. I usually have nothing planned that is too important (or that I can't do while we play)
-
Same here. We really need to get this going again.
-
im assuming this is the new d2 thread so yeah, this is my necro's weapon, you CAN'T find a better summoners weapon, this is the best, period. found offline, of course.

This isn't really the new generic D2 thread. It's the somewhat dead attempt at getting s.net members to meet up in a D2 game again.
-
Is this ever going to happen again
-
I missed the last one, so I hope so.
-
I missed the last one, so I hope so.
unless I can get my character off my old dead computer ( I don't know if its possible cause I haven't used it since I got this computer ) I have to make a new character, so I'm pretty much in the same boat.
-
Not sure if I have my character, either...I reinstalled Windows since the last time we played (dismantled my RAID, yadda yadda). Might be in my archives somewhere; I'd have to look for it.
-
starting fresh and untwinked is always fun anyway
my only issue is vent would need to be mandatory imo
-
I'd try to show up for this too, although I think D2 has issues with Vista. I could just install it on my netbook I guess. :x
-
D2 runs perfectly on Vista, both 32-bit and 64-bit editions, as well as Windows 7 RC.
-
i run on 64 bit vista (running on win98 compatability) and it works for me
-
I don't think I had to run it in compatibility mode at all over here, but, as always, YMMV.
-
well i mean it worked for me, but the middle mouse button didn't work, neither did middle click for map (and it still doesn't work after the compatability thing, but the mousewheel works and that's the big thing)
-
Sometimes stuff like that can be caused by mouse driver itself. If it has any bizarro functions that take over the middle mouse button or scroll wheel you could wind up losing functionality in some cases.
There haven't been any API changes for mouse click or wheel events for quite some time (since Windows 98, I believe) so I don't think that's a Vista issue, per se.
-
Hmm, well, I had trouble with it, but I can try it again. I'd have to hunt down .iso's a such though, since all my discs and cd keys are at home..
-
I had issues with the middle button/scroll wheel as well. Sometimes I could fix it, sometimes it wouldn't work. I really hated the fact that every time I fixed it, I had to manually rebind it though.
