Next Ladder

Re: Next Ladder

The only problem is as far as I understand, I can't have an enigma legitimately and interact with the single player ladder. That sort of kills it, although otherwise it honestly sounds pretty appealing. My necromancer is just too painful to play without teleport (and without totally nerfing other slots).

Getting enigma in SP isn't that hard rly.... You can try farming "legacy" items (like 1.09 / 1.07 items) and trading them for more wealth. (1.07 Ravenclaw = SUR) Also LK running is eez. It just requires patience ^_^-

The potential is clearly there, which the SP Forum takes VERY seriously. People wishing to trade through the SP Trade Forum have to go through a probation period so people can get comfortable with them. Item ID's are published, there is a list of items likely to be duped and hence considered untradeable, and people are stringently watched if they trade or MP. The attitude is basically, "Do what you like on your own computer, but if you interact with another forum member through multiplay or trading and are found to be less than completely legitimate, you will be instantly banned." Thyiad does a fantastic job at policing this in a professional and reasonable manner, in my opinion, as do the other forum members. I've seen a long time forum member get banned for inadvertently showing they had made a Silence runeword in a bow with the item level 99. The runes used were all apparently legitimate, but since 1) Hell Baal is the only critter who can drop ilevel 99 items, and 2) Hell Baal only drops magic, rare, set, or unique items, the bow was judged to be impossible to get through legitimate means and the member was permanently banned. In other words, cheaters are likely to slip up at some point, and the threat of banning acts as a powerful deterrent. (So does pride!)

I freely admit it's not to everyone's taste, but I hate to see it written off without just consideration. I would have stopped playing the game years ago if I hadn't moved to SP.
You have directed my attention towards SP and I pressed the Single Player button again after many many years.

I have finally tried the respec thingy, found out that hc chars do not have to die true death, that ATMA soft seems to be able to store items outside chars stash and one can try whichever build as there are fan pages with saves available for download.
Being nostalgic I started a classic barb. Got him to lvl10 and found an unique item in Mausoleum! The /player 8 command doesnt seem so useful for low level chars.
I shall see about trading opportunities which in my case kinda suck in both L and NL.

Re: Next Ladder

I still really feel strongly that half a year is too short a time to get up and running unless you can play a lot.

Ah, to be young and in college again =/

Re: Next Ladder

I think next ladder will start soon. I heard that half year is good.
I've said this before, they had some sort of poll on the official site about the lenght of the ladder, somewhere around 9 months / ladder won the vote I think.
