Diablo 3 General/Gameplay Discussion - Page 5

Drunkmunky · 29th June 2008, 10:32 PM

Have been playing D2 on and off since release, was playing it a fair bit a few weeks ago

And I was only just discussing with friends on friday night the possibility of a Diablo 3, I shat brix.

well luckily for me my wife enjoys diablo even more than me...just means upgrading her comp too

i looked at the play video and it looks a hoot.

i knew they wouldn't let the franchise die...now just kick wow in the balls and let the real games come through

I'm desperately waiting for this game. I dont think i've been looking forward to a game so much since supcom.

I think that's because my two favourite games are the Diablo line and Total Annihilation (excluding UO which I cannot go back to).

I'm impressed with the way they've done it - scripted sequences, destructible environment, keeping the uniques etc. Everything Titan Quest tried to do!

If only they had an Aussie BNet server!

wow

best news ive heard in a long time.

To be honest, i used to bot pretty frequently on d2, but thats only after i found out you could make some cash on the side

Yah me too. I was one of the 'founding members' of d2jsp, before njag went crazy and started charging. Did you know that was originally an OPEN SOURCE project???! Those were pre 1.10 days, that was when I quit playing seriously. Oh well, made a few hundred off the game I played for endless hours... not a bad result. Oh wtf? no more maphack! that is shit!!

And we can look forward to the same thing for D3!

*busily starts designing his own D3 bot*

J/K!

For the love of god PLEASE MAKE IT DUPE PROOF! thats what killed D2 for me.

trickma · 30th June 2008, 9:23 AM

Haha yeah, the good old Soj being used as currency due to excessive dupes was quite hilarious.

Never saw one drop, yet i had about 20

As a WoW junkie in a high end raiding guild, a massive starcraft fan, and a massive d2 fan.... I have no idea how I'm going to manage a social life over the next year with WotLK, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 all being released.

Yeah, duping stuffed the game up for me also. Spent hours trying to MF all the best gear. Only then to find out you could dupe and suddenly i had a grandfather sword, 20 sojs etc...stopped playing a week after that all happened. Also never saw a SOJ drop and i used to have the best MF gear.

This is so strange! I played countless hours MFing with my Sorc and I have never seen a SoJ drop either! I started to imagine them to be some mythical item that only spawned once and was just duped...

Iceickle · 30th June 2008, 10:44 AM

All the years I played D2, i never actually used a dupe (not through lack of trying, either!) They always seemed to be private. I seem to remember some sort of dupe involving gold? Maybe I used that one ...

I think I found a few SOJ's. I seem to remember a bugged ring that had awesome sorc stats (i thought this was the SOJ for a second here, google sorted me out). Actually now that I think of it, when I saw the amount of white items with rediculous stats, thats when I decided to stop.

Me and a friend were teamed up in this game, combined accounts. He called me at 8am very excited one morning, "ZOMGZOMGZOMG! WE GOT A WINDFORCE!#@$&*#$" ... It was pretty early in the morning, i was too tired to care. "great thanks. now we are rich" *hangup*. the Windforce bow was the rarest item in the game at that point, pindlebot had pulled through

i think our combined wealth was around 500soj rings at that point. livin the high life!!!

You can relax. D3 won't be out for at least 3 years, and SC2 has at least another 2...

This is Blizzard we are talking about, they spend years and years polishing an otherwise finished product and neither of these games are anywhere near finished yet. WoW expansions are the exception to the rule, they don't seem to care about those anywhere near as much as they do about their non-mmo's

nexx · 30th June 2008, 10:51 AM

Hacking ruined Diablo1 for me. I couldn't play online with random people without everybody having ridiculous stats or trying to town kill. I wanted to play with mates online but they either didn't have internet back then, or the internet dialup plans sucked ass.

Played Diablo2 privatively with friends, will probably do the same with D3.

I should just post something relevant, but really, it would be just a cover to be subscribed to this thread!!

EDIT: Hmm i seem to be thinking of another hacked ring that had awesome stats. Anyone recall?

EDIT: sorry for the slightly OT reminiscing, but i'm loving all the memories coming back

Ah, the ol faithful Stone Of Jordan

I used to run 4 bots at a time, Pindle, Baal, Rune, Meph

Used to get at least 2-3 decent drops a night, with 5+ high runes, was stashed around different accounts. I was rich in game terms
