A couple questions from a returning newbie
First, a little background. I bought the Diablo Battlechest a while back and played alot of D1, but never played D2. Now I have installed D2 and D2X and am thouroughly enjoying it. But I have a couple questions.
1. I have just finished Act I and am getting ready to begin Act II. Sould I stick with the mercenary I hired in Act I (Elle, the rogue) or should I drop her in favor of the mercenary available in Act II? I am very happy with her. I have outfitted her with some really nice gear (her defense and attack ratings are higher than mine) and she is doing a ton of damage with the bow I gave her. I was just wondering if the Act II merc. was better. If I let her go, I can't get her back, can I?
2. Playing on battle.net... first, I don't want to play PvP. (The first time I ever played D1 on b.net, I got PvP'ed relentlesly by a couple of grief players and that was the day that I quit playing D1 altogether) Can I find or create D2 games on b.net that I don't have to worry about PvP? I can't use my local character on b.net can I? I would have to create a whole new character, right?
I also want to add that these forums seem really great. Nice helpfull people. It is a nice change of pace to see a message forum that people are actually friendly and helpfull. Thank you. :worship:
