Kaos, nice find! My best moment in 1.10... *gambling* a Tal's Amy a few months ago. I somehow managed not to mess my shorts. How, though, I'll never know.
Great playing with everyone last night.. now for those nm ancients!

Good morning misfits.
Had a great time running through nm last night with Walt, Susan, Louis and Phil. With all of the second comps around, we had a completely full game for most of the evening. Ready to take on act 5 tonight. Thanks to out to Louis for the great 4 socket pally shield, that'll help get me through hell. Also thanks to Louis (I think, I apologize if I got it wrong), for the spectral shard. With my uber stealth ghost armor, I'm sitting at 75 fcr, just need another 10 on a ring and I'm set, though 75 makes a big difference even before hitting the 80 or so bp.
I'm hoping to get a sorc up and running this weekend, I think right now she is level 12 or so, for running some nm meph, etc.
As I understand the first drop feature (not so sure it is a bug), the "first" drop for each act boss yields a much higher rate of unique/set/etc. items. If you create a game using a char that has already killed the act boss, then bring in one that has not completed the quest yet and kill, say meph, that second char will continue to get a "first drop" from the act boss. Or you could jump in any pubby where the quest cannot be completed and do the same thing, if you don't have two comps.
An actual bug would be the Andarial first drop, it seems she always yields first drop results, even after you have completed the quest killing her.
Stay safe.

This is the gist of it.... If you run ne boss - that you cannot get the Quest for yourself.... then you should always receive 1st time drops... it's a supposed Bug. A thread was started by a former member of KTA, whom plays on the Europe Realm.
Lately, I've been running NM Andy in this fashion, I would join a Baal run game, I would head for Cat 2... and go after Andy... since the Quest has already been done... 1st I was running it with MF... since I didn't have ne... then I was lucky enuf to snag a ALI form a norm baal run that I made.. .and killed Baal. There was a pally nearby, but I guess his inv was full... giving me enuf time to grab it.. :thumbsup:
I've seen mainly rares from her and some low-mid uniques.... and very few magical..
The best find I got so far out of 20 or so runs was a Mahim Oak, but that was dropped outside the chamber, by one of the Shamans...
Hope that helps....
______________________________________________
I'll prob move onto NM Meph and see if I get better results... since a mutual acquataince of Red and myself, gave me a 29 Viper and some Frosties and several other goodies... but I'll prob keep using the Mages for the +1 fire and the FCR...
Since it's friday and hopefully my boss called in the paychecks... I'm gonna head down to EB and get either a new or preplayed copy of D2... so I can get another CD Key.... if this works... I can use my barb to create the game and BO me.... a bit safer... even though I don't really need it - but it might let my merc live a little longer....

In ref to the first drop thing. I have been doin "first drop" hell Meph runs with my Sorcie / Bo Baba combo over the last couple days. The drops don't really seem to be that much more impressive than normal drops.... then again I have found some really nice gear. I can't say whether or not its the "first drop" or just the 250 mf I'm using. Doing "first drop" runs I've still had some drops that were just 2 - 3 items, many all blue drops, but on the other hand I've had drops of 5 uniques, 5 sets, so on and so forth. More testing on this is needed ......
I'll have to activate my carpel tunnel inducing "first drop" hell meph bot heh

Wing I just got 2 copies running on my computer (900MHz athlon / 512MB) and it seems pretty stable. Actually the biggest problem seems to be network bandwidth... my connection is not the greatest so it seems like 2 clients needing packets the whole time results in a lot of missed ones, and connection interrupted. OTOH, bnet gets more and more unstable every day so maybe that's compounding the problem.WingBlade said:
When both comps are on different *accounts it seems to be more stable. So I am going to build the buffing characters (BO/chant) on a different *account.
If you want, PM me an email address and I will give you setup details.

Here's an idea...
You know, it seems to me like the Misfits could handle the desire for BO/Enchant-on-demand in another easy way: start up a public account with a BO Barb and an Enchantress, and make the passwords available to misfit regulars. That way, anyone could get an Enchant or BO as long as one other misfit friend was online, without two computers or two copies of D2 running.
This would have limits, of course... for example, in a big game, someone would always have to miss out on the enchant/bo (because they'd have to grab the public character, come into game, then leave to bring their own). And of course, it might not work at 5:00 a.m., when you're the only misfit around But in most cases, it'd be helpful... and it'd be fairly quick to rush, cow, and equip two characters to level 45-50, with some good old misfit help. They wouldn't need to be the best BO/Enchantress characters in the world, just enough to work in a pinch.
Anyway, whatcha think? If nothing else, it'd save Jim all the "Got time to give me an enchant?" whispers

I had a feeling that would happen that is why I created a new acct for my sorcy...rachil0 said:
Ryan, I have a setup - in mind that I have been looking into, but I'll PM you ne way...
BTW, Walt, Chris, Fort, Jim, Kev or whoever else might have bot control... could u add *Ace-DSL to the roster.... it has already been kicked, I haven't gone back to the channel with that acct...
Way, since you and Sky have stopped D2... would it be possible to PM me one of your D2 Classic CD-Keys if it's not being used.... thx in advance...
So I got kicked off last night, thought nothing of it so I went to bed. I try to log on this morning and suddenly my CD Key is in use. Now I am angered. The only explanation of can think of is that my friend used my cd to install (because his cd is scratched up) well he installs with mine and uses his CD key. Well he said he quit yesterday so maybe he uninstalled but then decided to play again to he reinstalled and accidently used my cd key instead of his. I guess i should hope that that is the case. No idea how I could get hacked just out of nowhere.
