Gario Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 Hey OCR peeps! Remember that old thread claiming Diablo 2 was coming out with a patch (roflmao, to that)? Well, the patch is finally out, now (at least, it is tomorrow), so I'm getting a couple of people together to get on Battle.net and try our hands at this (slightly upgraded) game! We're leaning on running this Hardcore, but if people want to run it softcore, instead, we're flexible with it (Hardcore is really the way to go, though - the game still has life in that mode, ironically). The time that we're getting together is 6:00pm Pacific - 9:00pm Eastern (same as the OHC), but the time is flexible so if anyone has an alternative just let me know and I'll see if that works for everyone. Here's who's playing, so far... 1.Gario (Wind Druid/Fishymancer) 2.SoulinEther (Sorc/Hdin/Trapasin) 3.Lord Obsidious (Barb/Bowazon) 4.relyanCe (Assassin/Zealot/Javazon) 5.TehDonut (BlizSorc/Fishymancer) 6.Clefairy (IronBarb/Bonermancer) 7.Darklink42 (Barb/Assn) 8. It's likely we're going to run on the East Coast server, and we're meeting in Channel OCR - you remember the good ol' 'Channel' system, right? Alright, let's kick some DIABLO ASS!! Quote
SoulinEther Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 As I mentioned in the other thread, I'm willing to run any sorc build or hdin, but if there are other people who want those builds I can do trapsin or really anything else needed. Quote
Gario Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Ah, alright... Careful with the Hdin, since they're getting a severe nerf in the next patch (undead magic immunities hold, now). They're still viable, just know that they're going to be affected by the next patch . Quote
relyanCe Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 tomorrow eh? on East Coast? rockin. I'm down for a martial assassin or a zeal pally, or a javelin amazon. anything non-caster really. Quote
TehDonut Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 blizz sorc. actually, ill go summon necro if you dont want to gario Quote
relyanCe Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 omg donut the dream team is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack Quote
Gario Posted March 22, 2010 Author Posted March 22, 2010 Whichever you prefer, Donut - I'm fine either way, since both classes can be fun. Your call . Quote
TehDonut Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 yeah maybe you should put our account names on there too gario, mines *TehDonut Quote
Lord Obsidious Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Following your comments in the last thread Gario, I'm have enough experience to know that Amazon passive skills play an important role just as dmg skills do. That said, I am planning to play Bowazon for help compliment the summoner in terms of crowd control. I generally have a better feel for explosive ammunition, but I'd like to give the chill another try. That said, I'd just like to put a forewarning; while I've played D2 a lot back a while, I'm very used to solo and taking my time with everything; but then again, the only reason I ever did that was because it's kinda hard to get random people into a game. Although I've never rushed too much, I am flexible and will probably dig up the process quickly enough. My account should be CEMP. I'm surprised I still remember my password from so long. Quote

relyanCe Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 yeah so my original d2 cd's are gone lord knows where and I couldn't get the cd key off of my original install so i had to buy the first one all over again and NOW I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD BOTH ORIGINAL AND EXPANSION AND ITS TAKING HOURS RAAAAAAAAAAAH can't wait to play though Quote
Clefairy Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Oh hey, it's this thread. I'm down to give it another go. I don't really have any experience with high-level play, but I know my way around. Like Obsidious, I'm very used to solo play; I hate leaving the map partially complete, and will soak every shred of experience from an area before moving on. Realm play obviates that, so we're good to go. Barb is the class I have the most experience with; for this, I'm feeling an Ironbarb variant with Conc. If someone more qualified feels like stepping up, well, I've always wanted to try a Bone Necro. Quote
Darklink42 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I'm totally in for this, can't wait to actually play this online with friends for once. I should add that I haven't played any online Multiplayer though, but I'm used to playing either a barbarian or an assassin (I liked the barbarian better, less spell casting worries and more damage.) I'm down to play whatever the group needs though, just as long as people give me some time to adjust to it. Quote
SoulinEther Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 i'm impressed by how many single player freakin monks, I mean, masters (), this thread is attracting. Personally, i would not have played for ~8 years if it weren't for online play... but to each his own, and there's always the present to start the social online play sweet, glad to see there's a barb or two willing to step up. Quote
Lord Obsidious Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 For the record, I actually do prefer to play online with people...but I end up playing solo online most of the time because it's just so dang difficult for me to get an actual party together (Most of the time I attempt to just to get help for some of the bosses). Not to mention players do tend to rush, as at the time, that's not what I'm interested in. But I'm playing with a group of guys that I know there's a good chance they'll show up; this is a planned game after all; and I know there will be rushing, so I know to expect things to get hectic, which I'm oddly looking forward to despite my usual preference of D2 playing.

SoulinEther Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 good times will be had. just don't die - then you'd have to catch up.. :/ Quote
TehDonut Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 well since we are playing ladder, and cause of the reset, there won't be rushing until at least 2-3 days or so Quote
SoulinEther Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 well since we are playing ladder, and cause of the reset, there won't be rushing until at least 2-3 days or so I don't think he means the poweracting kind of rushing - I think he means just getting through the areas quickly. Quote
relyanCe Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 has this patch been implemented for mac yet? Blizz updater hasn't started upon login. Quote
kupernikus Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 has this patch been implemented for mac yet?Blizz updater hasn't started upon login. who cares about mac users? /nofanboywarplziwasjustplayinaroundyo! I can honestly say I've never played diablo2, although I've been tempted to pick it up every time I see it. Quote
relyanCe Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 my setup is all ready to go but i have to work till 6 EST are we still go for 6 Pacific? and are did we settle on H-core or S-core? Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I just got back from Italy and missed this -- can I get in on this tomorrow yet? I'd plan on playing a defensive aura-based Vengenace pally or a shifter druid, whichever will help the group more. Quote
