Tuesday

I didn't see a tuesday thread so thot i would start one

well, tons of homework today so didn't really get to play d2, hope to when i finsh my essay in a while.

Today was a seriously slow day :yawn: :sleep:
and i finally realized that i don't know how to put the little caption thingies (signatures i think) at the bottom of your posts....so if someone would enlighten me :worship:

Signatures are a Pal-only thing (ie. those people who donate to keep the site running). That reminds me, I need to look into getting a credit card *smacks self in head*

Anyway, played Sacred a lot more yesterday. Energy Bolts is, you might say, "teh pwn".

D2's kinda gotten left a bit because, well, the Ancients are so damn annoying.

Still, things to get on with doing I guess...

Have a good day everyone!

you might want to try a different approach to fighting the ancients shade, maybe look for something that will slow them down so that your shadowmaster (if u use one) can distract and u can kill.

Trouble is, it's not slowing them down that's the problem... it's the elemental-enchantment bug that's making it difficult.

Whenever I go up there and start the fight, my merc and SM go after the Ancients whilst I try to avoid them long enough to check the mods. If I see anything dangerous (FE, nasty combos like Extra Strong/Cursed/Might/Fanat, etc.) I use a TP scroll.

The problem is that if any of the Ancients turns up FE, I can't afford to let them near me at all. They can even kill you after they've died, so I have to TP out... however, CE is just as dangerous, only over a longer time period. I'd guess the same holds true for LE.

Add to that the trouble I have with hitting them and doing damage, and you can see that it's not easy... I'm looking to use a Black runeword weapon for the CB, which should make the fight a lot shorter. Heck, if I have to I'll mule on my Rixot's Keen again...

On the plus side, none of them can one-hit-kill me without the use of bugs or extreme luck. So as long as I can get favourable mods it should be a matter of time.

Of course I need the 2-3 hours to roll them over and over to get those mods... maybe when I've sorted out the trouble with my uni work.

Or wait for 1.11

if the kingslayer runeword would be of any help to you, i can lend you a colossus blade with this.

edit: sorry my browser messed up :rant: and i din't know i had already posted

Well, I'm playing untwinked on the HC ladder, but thanks for the offer

I'm more worried about Baal, since I have an average damage of ~600 and a very low chance to hit... still, I'll get there.

Doesn't hurt to be optimistic about the patch either

Today started with web registration for classes for fall 2004 semester. I got everything I wanted and that's why I'm up unusually busy. D2 is having to take a backseat for a while now, cuz I have RL and school to deal with, but everything will be cleared up at the may 8-9 weekend, so hopefully I can finish a Pat/Mat or two before the summer.

Got in trouble with the girl yesterday for browsing this forum too much. It seems odd to me that she doesn't say anything about time actually spent playing, and it's the SPF time that bugs her. Must be more covert about my activities from here on out.

Yesterday got my new furysin to act 3 of nm. On the way Duriel dropped me an Eye of the Etlich, which i've been asking around for for ages. Sweet sweetness Today will be spent programming the project i should've been doing yesterday, and waiting for a few trades to be negotiated/concluded (come on, where are you guys, Zhao_Yue & necrolemming? gimme itamz now!!!111). Welp, time to hit the shower and then go to work.

A good day to all.

Did one Pit run last night. Yep, just one. It took me a good while. Actually, it started out badly--on the way to the Pit entrance, I ran into 4-5 boss packs all clustered in the same area. A couple were LE/FE, some Mana burn...luckily, I had just the right equipment combos to handle them, but it took a while.

After a couple merc resurrections, I got into the Pit and soon died to a FE/LE. Got myself back together and died about a minute later to a Cursed FE skellie boss pack. I love this game!!!

Anyway, I grabbed another level, even with the XP loss, so I think I'll head on to the Barracks and subsequent Jail (or the "How fast can I get through these" levels, as I like to call them).

I also squeezed in a little play on my Frenzy barb. He's level 26, and I just equipped a Flamberge, though I can't remember its name.... That plus the Hellplague Longsword and I'm stealing enough mana to use Frenzy all the time. Nice.

In a couple levels, I'll use a Culwen's. I'm very excited. I get a lot of enjoyment from using all these low-level uniques. If I weren't twinking, I don't think I'd ever use some of these items...but for the early levels, they can be a lot of fun.

No D2 for me yesterday. In all honesty, there's not much redemption left for me to keep playing this game, and very soon I'll probably quit. As for here, although I haven't decided just yet, I'll probably take my leave once I finish the adventures of Lord Rahl.

The game just gets old after a little while, and for me, that "little while" has been since the freakin game came out. I discussed the other reason for leaving in a separate thread yesterday, so I'll leave it at that.

Now, of course, if Blizzard decides to come out with another patch... *cough* yeah right *cough*

Have a nice day, all.

It was ridiculously hot last night, so I stayed up late playing D2 instead of heading for bed.

Vixen took her hydras through the jungles of Kurast (NM) as far as the Flayer Jungle WP. Nothing terribly exciting. She's now old enough for Volcanic prefix staves to be appearing in the shops, so she's on the lookout for something to replace the Leaf runeword staff she made early in normal.
