My first bout with Diablo II

Re: My first bout with Diablo II

Yes, the cows. You know, the hardest enemy in the game.



You have to get Wart's Leg and combine it with a book of town portal in the amazon camp, you unlock the hardest enemies in the game.

I didn't know that. That's ****ing great!

Re: My first bout with Diablo II

Eh, the game's kind of past its prime.

There was a day when only a few had the map hack, no one had dupes, and people didn't use bots to do runs...

...No, cows are NOT the hardest enemies in the game. There are just way too many of them so you get massive experience when you clear out the level.

Before 1.10, it was Bloody Runs (Bloody Foothills, Act 5) and killing Pindleskin that got you just as much experience.

The cows were just a novelty after someone hacked his pally to have a level 99 Holy Fire Aura to which he entered the portal and voomp, everything falls down dead. They fixed that a loooooooonnnnnnng time ago.

Never used MapHack, never cheated to get an item. I actually never found a SoJ in my 500+ hours of playing, which amazed me that people were trading 10+ of them for something like a Windforce.

I don't see the point in hacking D2. Especially since hack programs can FUBAR your PC real good.

I still have a Necro that I bring out occasionally on U.S. West. He's a Poison/Bone build so there no worry about game lag from too many summons (just me, my Fire Golem and my Rogue helper). It's a painful build until you hit 30, because you pretty much have to rely on Iron Maiden/Blood Golem to keep yourself alive.

Still, I enjoy the challenge. I got a Gravespine wand the last time I played: it owns...until I can find Ume's Lament, I guess.

So, uh, yeah.

They nerfed that though that little trick doesn't work anymore if you have the latest patch. It got me angry .

Just because you aren't, doesn't mean everyone else isn't as well. In my 3000+ hours of play, I only found three SOJs. And before the duping became widespread, a windforce was valued at 40 SOJs, though there was probably only three people with windforces on the server anyway.

The rarest drop I ever legitamently saw? Once, when I was doing a Baal run, a grandfather droped (the grandfather is the rarest sword, and one of the rarest items in the game). I didn't manage to get it, but it didn't matter anyways, because this was post-duping and everyone and their brother had two. Still thought it was cool though.

I have a ton of Diablo II stories.

Like this one time...Before duping became widespread, myself and my friends valued trading over actually playing (since we all had many characters over level 80). It became a competition to see who could get the best gear through wheeling and dealing. I managed to get a full IK (immortal kings) set for my barb (which is quite impressive, considering the rareity of some of the pieces). This set however is not in the original game. As I was playing, I went to join a game, and the server must've screwed up, because insted of going into an XPAC game I went into an original version game. It was also a dueling game, and because the gear added in the XPAC beat out all the gear in the original, I managed to easily crush everyone dueling. They also asked me where I got such cool looking armor, which they told me looked completely black (though not to me..perhaps because they didnt have the armor model installed..?) When I tried to open a trade window, it would not let me put any of my armor into the spot to be traded. This lasted for about a day, and then fixed itself.

Re: My first bout with Diablo II

Right now there's no working maphack, not that I ever used one but I do frequent BlizzHackers because they have awesome give aways.

That and I'm a filthy dirty scammer.

Maybe it was different when you guy's played, but loading a sorc with MF and doing a few runs on hell bosses/pindle/cows what have you would usualy yield some pretty rare ****.
