Hi,

Dop_obo and I are looking for players who might be interested in joining us on hellforging runs. The process is very simple but it is time consuming, so if you are interested in applying, you must be able to commit to playing two nights per week for at least 3 hours per evening.

More participants make the rushing go much quicker, so we would like to obtain enough players to make a full 8-person party for each two-night block.
Players will be divided up into three different blocks:

Mon/Tues Session. Playtime: ? (to be determined)
Wed/Thu Session. Playtime: ? (to be determined)
Fri/Sat Session. Playtime: ? (to be determined)

If hellforging is of interest to you, please feel free to apply right here in this thread. Please leave some contact info, available times (don't forget to mention your timezone), and which of the three sessions you would like to join. You may apply for more than one session -- if you can be available for more than one.

BENEFITS:

1.) Obviously, you get your own hellforge rewards for Norm/NM/Hell.

2.) Nice item drops are shared. However, keep in mind that these are Hellforge runs -- not MF. Our rusher is geared up for survival and killing speed and thus we don't tend to turn up an extraordinary number of elite drops.

3.) When it's all said and done, you'll have some nice hell mules!

4.) Make some new friends. :thumbsup:

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

There are no character requirements. As a participant you simply create a level one character every time we start a session. Once they have been rushed, you can play them, use them as hell mules or delete them -- it's up to you.

There are some minor gear requirements. Dop and I can help with your outfitting but if you can scrounge up some of these things for yourself, it would help us alot. If you have spares you can donate, that would be appreciated as well. :)

- Full Sigon's set (except the shield; we don't use that piece).

- Two 2s katars. They must have two sockets. They must be katars (str/dex req: 20/20 -- easily farmed from Charsi in Norm). Sockets are filled with chipped skulls. They must be chipped!

- Angelic ammy/rings x2 or Cathan's ammy/rings x2. Your choice based on personal preference.

- Strength charms (any size, no secondary mod required). Level prereq on these must be level 6 or less. You need enough total strength from these charms to equal at least 15; 20 would be better.


* * *

If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask here and dop_obo or I will be happy to answer them for you. Hope to hear from you! :thumbsup:

Nice little group we have here so far. Welcome aboard everybody. :)

Psyadam and KnownasWolf: Dop and I would like to meet you in a game some night so we can get to know each other. We can also take that time to figure out how much gear we need to scrounge up for you.

I've added you to my /f l Psyadam. KnownasWolf, do you have a sn so we can contact you?

My main account is *Planewalker03 and Dop is usually kicking around on *dop_obo5. Can't wait to you meet you guys.

Yo, I'd love to join you guys although I haven't played since the early .09 days and I'm basically just looking to jump right back in again (all my accounts have been deleted hence all my equipment is long gone...).

I'd tell you my account name but I haven't made one yet, maybe I will tonight; let me know what you think.

Did i miss something here? i thought this was going to be a bunch of rushes, but either way... whatever keeps u alive its welcome i suppose. Mandatory though, that sounds extreme.

th5418
30-04-2004, 02:54
We still need level 40 characters. The level 40 character will kill baal while the other chars stay in town and the chars in town will get the quest so it can move on.

Its hard to just explain it to you. If you join us on one of these runs you'll probably get it after were done. :lol:

Cheers :drink:

As Oran mentioned, it's a very complicated explanation -- my initial post would have been 150000000000 words long if I tried. It's easiest to just show everybody how it's done in-game.

Rushes are actually involved in the process, but there is a bit more to it than that; hence the gear requirements and the need for back-to-back nights of play. I guarantee that it is absolutely worth it though! :)

Bill Dawg and Ash, welcome aboard; I'll contact you as soon as I can. We're just organizing these teams right now, we aren't quite ready to start yet so there's no hurry. And good luck on those midterms, Ash. :)

Crono123, your addy sounds like you play on USEast, please correct me if I'm mistaken. This happens to be a USWest team. However, if you play on this realm, you're welcome to join us!

How does this work? Do you two make a game and rush 6 people then individually have them make games and do all 3 Hell forges at once from each person? Thatd be 18 Hell forges per rush..

}:-)>

th5418
30-04-2004, 06:37
Okay, at first there would be a sorceress and 7 assassins. The assassins level up to level 40 with the help of the sorceress. By the time they are level 40, new assassins are made. The sorc will rush the assassins and by the time its baal, someone brings in their level 40. Kill baal, everyone gets quest. Next difficulty. Resume.

Hey all :)

Ok, tonight is the first 'organized' run we're going to do. Start time is 8:00pm (mst), and we'll meet in channel...if you've run with us before, you know the channel...if not, then you need to /w me at least 1 hr before the run starts to get involved. We'll get what runs we're able to done tonight and finish up tomorrow night. I only have one spare set of gear to loan out if necessary (Dredd has a spare set as well, but might not be able to make it), so space for new friends might be limited unless you have your own gear. We'll see how it goes. :)

Anyway, see you all there at 8 pm sharp!

P.S. I was merciless clearing out my /f list last night to make space for temporary accounts for the baal runs, so if I deleted your account, don't take it personally...it's not meant that way, I just really need the slots.

hmmm i might have 2 sig sets i can loan out as well but sadly no str charms :(

dop_obo
03-05-2004, 06:49
Well, our first 'organized' run is done (mostly), and the results were pretty good...everyone got at least one decent rune. :)

Hell forges = 3xGul|1xIst|2xMal|2xUm|2xPul|1xFal|1xKo|2xLum|1xIo |1xHel
Nm forges = 3xUm|2xPul|2xLem|2xKo|2xLum|1xIo|1xHel|2xDol|1xSha el

Next run is tomorrow (Monday)...we'll get started at 8pm (mountain time).

We could still use some more people to join in...some runs were pretty empty. I think we have 2-3 sets of gear standing by now as well. Anyone that wants to join in should /w me about an hour before our start time, so I can explain things and get you outfitted. My accounts are *dop_obo5 or *dop_obo If Dredd's on, you can /w him as well.

See you tomorrow all! :)

Considering the last two chars I had I got good hell drops (Gul and Ist) Im all for this!

I'll look though my charm mule as I nomrally keep the starter charms (str and dex) see what I can use and help the group with.

Got a few sig sets, some are loaned out; but easy to get back. Is this only for sin's and sorcs? If we wanted other chars is that ok?

Lastly are there higher char rushers helping? e.g. your level 8x sorc helping tele though NM and Hell? If so I do have some higher level chars (pally who can tank any part of hell; and decent sorc for tele) to help out.

edit:

*DarkKarma

I often play weeknights 7-10ish so the 2 nights is not a prob.

I think hell would have to freeze over first. :P

After yesterday's no-show at 8pm, I've given up on organizing any runs. I'll leave it up to Dredd to get everyone together, and plan out the runs...just tell me when to show up and I'll be there :)

In the meantime, I'm doing some 'contract' work.

BSU
05-05-2004, 06:54
I think he may have scared some people off with the equipment requirments. And I think dredd's next step (after not forging for 2 days) would be to take up piano :P He seems smart enough to do it.

No, Dredd's next step is to find a cure for spring allergies -- has me flat on my back at the moment and not up for much gaming. :( Hopefully I'll be feeling better soon.

In the meantime, I haven't forgotten about this thread. Right now I'm still just looking to get as many people to sign up as possible. This is not an easy project to organize so everybody is going to have to be a bit patient.

As soon as I'm feeling better I'll start trying to contact some of you online.

07-05-2004, 17:10
Trying to get ahold of some of you guys online has been a major pain in the rear, so I'm going to try something a bit different.

Everbody who has signed up to participate, expect a PM from me sometime this weekend. I would like a chance to meet everybody in-game some afternoon or evening so we can chat a bit, I can get some of the information I need to organize these runs, and I can fill everybody in on how these runs are performed. Perhaps we will even do a whole forge run so each of you can see the process (this will depend on whether or not our rushers are available).

If any of you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to PM me! Do keep in mind that I have a 5 message limit on my inbox and if it's full, your message might get bounced back without me seeing it (I have to deal with PMs concerning Super Diablo just about every day). The best time to try to contact me over PM is in the morning since that's the time I tend to go through my messages, check on trades and so forth. I hope to hear from all of you very soon. :)

Everybody should have a PM in their inbox. Forgive the moronic formatting -- my copy/pasting went apecrap on me. :lol:

If you have questions or comments, send me a return PM or post it here.

We're still looking for more peeps to participate so feel free to pop in and sign up!

Anyways, I had a bit of free time and to show my good will I'd like to present *fanfare* a collective list of people who said they'd do this, the time they last commited themselves to this on the forums, and the days on which they said they were available. Here it is.

th5418, Skepsis, Luuuucifer, Oranite and Choogy are good friends and I have regular contact with them so it wasn't necessary for them to define the exact times they are available for this.

Yes, I noticed that your inbox was full when I tried to PM you this afternoon; I'll try to resend it this evening.

I heard something's going to happen tomorrow? I'm going to skip the first dork making session, since I have 3 ready to go, just save me a spot in the forging session.

Also, JC_777 is interested tomorrow. i guess his schedule is erratic. he has a dork ready to go too.

Bz-OwnZ
12-05-2004, 16:05
Tonight at 7pm Pacific Time there is going to be a meeting, just so we can get to know each other a bit better and maybe do some forging. You should have received the PM regarding this.

I'm not sure if I can make the forging, but I'll try to show up in the designated channel.

Hey luuuu,

All that's going on tonight is a short meeting to collect some additional information from all the new signees. I didn't invite any of the regulars simply because there will likely be alot of people in the channel tonight, and I want to keep things from getting confusing. Depending on how things go tonight, I could have a finished schedule set up by the weekend. :)

Whether or not we can manage a forge run demonstration tonight will depend on Dop showing up, since he's our rusher. I let him know about tonight's get together but I haven't heard back from him yet, so we'll see.

Cod, Operator, and theBlackKnight, welcome aboard. I've got a full channel of peeps to handle tonight, so I will PM each of you sometime before the weekend.

sounds good to me, i'll be gone for the weekend though so hopefully i'll get in contact with you before then. also the easiest way to reach me is by MSN (short of knocking on my door, but that would scare me), my icon for it is up in the corner there.

i've got several upper level characters ready to help with the rushing, a lil' enchantress to help out with levelling, and a tweaked out wolfbarb that serves no purpose other than tanking and looking cool. all i need now are some places and times to meet, and it's all good :drool:

We had a meeting in the channel today, though I couldn't stay for the entirity of it.

My part of the announcement is, for those who weren't there, if you have specific times when you are available, please email it to: noskillguitarist@yahoo.com

I will try to compile the times you mentioned in your original post in this thread if you designated a time, but it would be appreciated if you emailed me as a means of verification.

all i need now are some places and times to meet, and it's all good


That will depend alot on how quickly people email Bz-Ownz with a confirmation as to which days/times they can commit to. I'm going to try to have a tentative schedule set up by Saturday morning - or at least before the end of the weekend.

We also have to set aside some time to get everybody geared up and oriented so next week we should be starting our forging, but we won't be going full tilt until the week after.

In_Remission and D34D, welcome aboard. I'll PM both of you before Sunday. :)

For now however, it's time for me to say hello to my soft pillow and blankey - tonight I'm sure I'll be dreaming of all the Ists (and *cough*hels*cough*) we'll soon be farming. :D

Hey dred, wouldnt it be easier to create private games and lvl 7 sins/conviction pallys with a sorc rusher up to lvl 40? that way you would have could concievably do 1 rushers ..kill nm baal with only 1 rusher..and in hell games..spawn boss with 1 rushee and 1 rusher...then have the rest join in...boss only have 2player hp..kill and move on...I dont know what your setup is for rushers ...if this idea holds any interest to ya let me ..(pm me)..plus i could join all days for at least 3hrs except friday and ...well when i have family stuff going on..

I've had plenty of experience doing the rushes too..so maybe i can help tweak it a bit too

Hey Azonian me and dop are currently the only 2 rushers(we need more with more ppl) for this thing and we have done rushes for along time and we have been doing the same for as long as i can remember, but your ideas seems intresting even though i have no clue what you said on ur post. Maybe we can meet in game somewhere and explain it a bit more clearly or u can rewrite that in a step by step process that would really help us out on what ur saying :spy:

He's describing something almost exactly like our method, except a bit more complicated. The only real difference, from what I can make of it, is that he would have most of the rushees sit in a channel and join the game just in time to get the necessary quest rewards -- it would speed things up a bit, but that would require alot of coming and going from the game and with 5-6 rushees, it would be a pain in the arse. It's worth looking into though.



Dredd, any possibility for one or two sets of dorks tomorrow in the evening?


That is entirely up to dop and Oran, since they are our rushers. If it's okay with them, I don't see why not. :)

If you want to use a character besides an Assassin, it's perfectly fine - provided you level them on your own time. However, you don't have to take them all the way to 40 - Level 25 is good enough. At 25 you can bring the character in and finish leveling to 40 in our baal runs; once we reach the baal run portion of the rush, it no longer matters what sort of character you are using. :)

SoCal44
15-05-2004, 00:20
Isnt the gem drop from the hellfroge dependent on the # of players too? So in 8 player games wouldnt you get 8 PGs instead of the 1 (or is it 2?).

Another question, if I get them to 24, can I just come along for the rush too :) probably pusing it here :lol: but had to ask anyway.

If not I'll just have a friend rush me :thumbsup:

No, you only get one perfect gem per person that needs the quest, if you did it you would get multiple perfect gems/flawless/normal, but only one rune, so. .that'd be bad

Good question SoCal we'll have to look into that :spy:

:drink:

No. .like I said before. .you get gems depending on how many people actually need the quest. .you get more gems by using more quests at once, but, you still only get one rune. .so that'd be stupid to waste your runes for a few more gems.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works. . 99.9% sure

Oranite

You get virtually nothing for xp in the throne room until you are level 25. However, you can run around and kill things in the Flayer Jungle on our Baal runs - it wouldn't take long to reach 25. Our baal run games will likely be private anyway, so your presence would be desired.

Normally though, the rushing and leveling is all done together as a team.

You are correct, sirrah.

Hellforge rewards are done by one rusher and one rushee - everybody else stays out of the game. As A_S_G correctly stated, you only get one rune per quest reward anyway so wasting other people's quests just to get extra PGems would be silly.

Trust me when I say that you'll end up with more PGems than you know what to do with anyway. I get so many gems from a single day of hellforging that I cannot even begin to trade them all away and my gem mules fill up quickly. Nowadays, I just use the excess PGems to cube skiller charms (minus the Amethysts of course; those I use for crafting high end ammys). :thumbsup:

So, as you can see, there are more benefits to hellforging than simply getting a few nice runes. By the way, if anybody has crafting ingredients and wants a few crafted caster rings/ammys, just give me the stuff and I can cube them for you. I have a L95 Werewolf to do the dirty work with. :lol:

Sorry, I should of been more specific. I ment, if I get my character to 24, from cows, then can I come along with the rush (act 3-ancients) then I'd be 25 from the ancients, and I could just tag along with baal from 25-40.

Most of us aren't really sure if we can even start these rushes for several weeks to come because not everyone here has the require items we need to begin the rushes. I would like a count on how many ppl here actually have Sigon Set(except sheild we don't use that) and str charms that total up giving u atleast 20 str.

Man, you guys are awful when it comes to communication. :lol:

I said I was going to try to have a schedule for next week set up by Saturday (today, not next week). I still may post it tonight, or I may hold off on it a bit while I take care of some other things.

At any rate, most of us seem to be Friday players, so I think our first Hellforging session will be this Friday and will continue through Saturday. I will divide Friday up into 3 or 4 seperate blocks and everybody will be assigned a slot in one or more blocks. Easy. When I write it up it will be posted here well in advance - probably no later than Wednesday.

There is also the matter of getting everybody outfitted with the pieces of gear and items they are missing. I want everybody completely set up before Friday so I'm setting aside this week to take care of that.

Go over the item prerequisites on page one of this thread. If you are missing anything on that list, PM me as soon as possible and I will set aside some time to get you whatever you need from my mules. Dop_obo is Ye Keeper of Strength Charms, but I have most of everything else.

just an update, i've got a sigon's set, two 2 socket katars full of chipped skulls, and i'm working on collecting extra chipped skulls for anyone else that needs them. i'm more interested in doing rushes/baal runs than building up new characters, but i'm working on a barb now to leap, crush things, and generally amuse me.

I am in need of help for gear too. In fact, this will be my switch from non-ladder to ladder since 1.10. Needless to say, all my stuff was dropped prior to switching play, so I'm starting fresh.

Dredd, if you can announce a time for rushing a week or so beforehand, I will see to it that everyone is contacted via personal message or on the realm about it in regards to their availability. This way you don't need to juggle too much stuff.

25-05-2004, 03:43
Ok i've got *Dop_obo in also hes gonna be a rusher and have another account for the forge. So thats a 8/8 (full game) counting that everyone can make it.
Im hoping that this will take place this saturday around 9am pst or so. Maybe later if not everyone can make it. Well anyone have any questions /w *orangwhoit or *orangwhoithc

25-05-2004, 04:22
I can do two accounts. .sounds like you're doing 3? Let me have two :thumbsup:

He's lvl 40 and normal baal hasn't been done yet, so he's all ready for 2nd account.

Oranite
25-05-2004, 04:26
Im not doing 2 accounts....
One of my accounts is a rusher and the other is the mule
Same with dop also and if ur think were rushing 2 accounts u can forget that. Don't be so greedy

Wow settle down. .it just sounded like you were doing atleast two accounts, so I was wondering if I could also. .

So two rushers?

Ok first im planning it to be anytime during the weekends but saturday morning is what im really hoping.

Second i remember a-s-g or someone saying they have a lvl 40 char rdy. If that is true we can start rushing chars for forges.

If you guys wanna make lvl 40 chars then we'll be lvling chars from lvl 1 - 24 (lvl 25 will be from ancients).

If were lvling chars from 1-25 then we just need 1 account each(unless u wanna make 2 lvl 25 chars by holding one mouse in each hand :D )

Also me or dop will have an enchantress helping with the enchants :P that why we need 1 more person besides the ppl on the list i have made in an earlier post.

Yes, I have many level 40 characters, I thought we were doing this a few weeks ago, and I didn't want to make multiple assassins, and dredd said if I lvled to 40 on my own and didn't do normal baal quest, I could just use that.

wow that's a run on sentence. . .all commas :innocent:

Anyway. .yeah

I thought everyone needed a character. . .what's the point of me using mine. .then I only get the one forge where everyone else gets one for doing nothing. . .

I thought everyone leveled a guy, then we each used the quest off of it. .so we get like 6 forges for leveling one character. .

No i'm not trying to be greedy, but I don't see the point of doing this unless we all do it. .I could just rush the characters myself since I can run two games at once. . .and I could of had them finished a long time ago

I think the point was for those of us without 2 running DC copies to have a group rush of sorts. 7 new chars, and 21 helforges (well 14 becasue norm doesnt count unless its Shael or Amn which are at least somewhat useful).

The idea of a char at lvl40 was that they were already ready for the NM/Hell forges.

At least thats what I thought, and my boasorc is now geared up (well, will have gear ready for her) =)

26-05-2004, 20:15
The whole point of this was that we all level a character to fourty, then rush mules or whatever along with one of the level fourty characters one at a time, so in the end we get multiple forges for leveling one guy quickly.

The point of it was not for one of us to level a character to fourty then have everyone use that person's quest so some people can get a forge for doing nothing. Now the rusher(s) should be able get free forges, I understand that, but the other 5-6 people that would do nothing shouldn't. We should all have to level a character and do what dredd designed this to be.

I just re-read it, and seems that one person was rushing a group. The group leached off that guys baal quests and each got their own hellforge. Now I havent been in a run yet, but seems the jist of it. But like Dredd stated, I'll figure it out when I get in one :)

Rusher, Rushee either way, fine with me.

Heres the way I would see it. If you have a level 40 char already, we can just rush some lvl 1's to baal. Then kill baal without any problem. THis would save time and stuff. But of course, if we would need to make new level 40 chars. You wouldnt want to and we want a full game so since you dont want to we would have another. I believe there won't be room for you.

A_S_G
27-05-2004, 00:02
Well. . not like this is going to happen anyway. . and this is dredd's post/idea you guys should stop taking over it.

All I'm saying is, we should all have to make level 40 characters, not just me and you guys get free forge's off of it.

You remmeber. .dredd's origional plan, we all make level 40 characters, then use the quests one at a time. . .

Not one of us makes level 40 characters, then the other people get the forge for doing absolutely nothing.

Who'se being secretive about it, I already said I don't think it's fair that I use my forge and everyone else gets one off of me, I'd rather have everyone use one so we all get 7 forges. .like how dredd planed it. .otherwise there's no point in this except for the other people (besides rushers) that just sit in the game and do nothing.

27-05-2004, 01:05
This is how I thought things would work:

1) 8 player game with the rusher and 7 level ones with gear ready.
2) We all level up to 40 doing Baal runs.
3) Rusher, level 40, and everyone else's new level 1 join game and kill Baal (level 1s stay in town, of course). All get quest and move up to next difficulty level.
4) Quick rush up through NM and up to Hell (the 40 and all level ones).
5) All get hell forge drops on all three settings.
6) Process is repeated with a different 40 and new level ones.
7) In the end we get like 7 forges on 3 difficulty settings.

Everyone does do something (leveling up to 40 doing Baal runs, etc.). In the end, the goal is to get the forge drops, not to make new and interesting characters. I personally plan to use the characters as mules rather than new playable chars. If everyone had level 40 characters already made, it would of course go way faster, but I don't think that was the original idea (why else would we need to gather Sigon stuff and charms, etc.?

If I am not correct, please tell me where I went wrong! Sorry about the length of this post. I am ready to start doing these runs instead of arguing and talking about them!!!

Exactly, well put, now do you see why I'm so worked up? Why would we do one of my characters and none of anyone else's. .we would all get less. . .which yes is greedy. .but after all I did get the guy to fourty when everyone else didn't. . .

Grummer
27-05-2004, 01:46
If we all start with level ones except the rusher, then all of us do level up to 40 together. That is why Dredd said we need to commit at least 2-3 hours to this in back to back nights. Nobody is profitting off of anyone else's hard work. We get the drops based on the leveling of our initial assasain.
If we already had level 40s, then this would all take only a fraction of that just to get forges. True, this would go quick if we all leveled up to 40 on our own time, but that is not the method I gathered from the metting a few weeks ago.

I don't think we have to agree on a single method for this. I leave it up to the people rushing to dictate how this goes down. Please! Let's give it a go and see how it works!! :thanks:

27-05-2004, 01:55
Ok everyone i guess i have to settle i dispute here. Since A-S-G has a few lvl 40 chars ready but doesn't want to use them just yet because its at all his work and we basically did nothing so far. Its probably best if we all start with making a lvl 40 char each before we start rushing any mules. Just to make things more fair for now and do have a-s-g use up his mules just yet.

So basically this weekend we need about 6 other ppl besides me and my enchantress to get ourselfs some lvl 40 chars. If more then 6 ppl other then myself shows up then we'll need 2 games. That game will be hosted by dop and his enchantress. I hope this clears things up abit.

Also i would like to meet some of the ppl that can make it this weekend. For does of you that can make it plz come to channel dop at 7 pm pst sharp.

I have nothing wrong with using my level fourty characters, I just think we all need them, be it we lvl them on our own time or do them together.

Do you atleast see my point. .Basically I would use my character. . .and the other people would just sit in game get rushed. .using my normal/nm baal quest. .just sitting there leeching the quests. ..the only person that would do anything would be the rusher. .

And I would get my forge (which I would anyway) and the other 6 people would get the forge for doing what? Sitting in a game not even leveling a character. . ..

Now if we do it like it was designed to do. . .

We all make level 40 characters, then use one level 40 guy at a time, rush using his quest, then get another one, and keep doing it, so we get 7 forges, each benefiting from eachother. We all level one character to fourty to get 7 nm/hell forges. .

This is a brilliant idea if it goes the way it was designed to be done. . .

I propose that if you have a level 40 character ready, you are automatically allowed into the dorking, while those without level 40 characters are priority number two, to fill in if we don't have enough level 40's ready.

Cheers.

Okay. .I use map hack huh?

Since when did I start using this, I wasn't aware of it :scratch:

If you're talking about because I could teleport to durance level 3 so fast. .I have almost all the maps memorized, I've done way too many meph runs. And If I recall Oranite you also teleported to places like Catacombs level 4 just as fast as I did.

d2 loader, yes I do. . .I didn't know that was a hack. .I could just go install it on my sisters computer and run two games. .but I'd rather have them here so all I have to do is alt+tab. .

And Oranite, you must use this also, since you had two characters in there, and you switched them way too fast unless you have two computers next to eachother. But, d2loader is a lot easier, and less risk of me dropping in game while self xfering or something.

Botting. .assuming luucifer told you this. .Yes. .I tried pindle bot for a few days. But so do all the rich people on these forums. And I'm by no means rich. I tried it for a few days, I havn't traded anything I found. I just wanted to see what was so great about it. (PS luucifer asked me where I got it so w/e) If I still botted I wouldn't be perming accounts for people for a about a mal rune now either would I? :(

Anyway. .oh well, I was thinking of not doing this after we ran luucifers character anyway. .I was just going to use mine as promised then quit. It does take less time. . all we have to do is rush. .but that still took about 45 minutes per character. And anyway, according to you guys I bot so I'd rather spend my 45 minutes botting then getting a Fal rune from forge now wouldn't I. . .

I'd rather just enchant myself using my second copy of diablo and play through the game.

Good bye, and good luck with your runs.

Well good. We have decided. D2loader IS a hack. Its a 3rd party program. Oran has two computers. You have botted, that is also a 3rd party program. Sure okay, I'll take that you got the maps memorized whatever.

When did I say I was taking anything over? I only posted what I thought was the idea from what I've read. I do not, have not, or would not ask for something for free so relax. I play this game for fun, and enjoy playing with other mature players who do the same.

I dont know what got up in your craw, but you need to step back and relax.

BTW - I have 2 cpus right next to eachother, as well as a laptop and a server. I could run D2 on 4 pcs if I really wanted. I only have one set of CD's though; not gunna spend the money on a 2nd set, find that odd to do.

28-05-2004, 04:03
The way I see it, th5418, if you have already made up your decision and don't want to debate whether or not Pindlebot and D2Load are hacks, you have the higher judgment so just ignore A_S_G instead of reiterating the same idea.

And A_S_G, though I personally have nothing against programs like D2Loader, the leaders of this rush group do, and if you accept this and "...Rather just enchant yourself..." then please just stop debating your leaving instead of turning this into an off-topic arbitrary program thread.

Anyways, so far this weekend we have:
Oran : Rusher1
Dop : Rusher2
Grummer : Dork1

I won't be available mid-day Saturday and Sunday after 3pm, and I don't have a level 40 character at the ready. So I'll be there if the slots aren't filled, but as I previously mentioned, level 40's served first.

I thought it'd be fair that those who do more work get the rushing first, I mean, it would be rather unfair if someone with two level 40's can't get rushed because the games are all filled with level 1's.

However it is unfortune that you use hacks. You would have been a great asset if you didn't use em but ever since the beginning the 4 of us(me,dredd,dop and th) made a vow that we shall not play with anyone that uses any type of hacks matter it maphack,bots,d2loader, or any 3rd party program.

Also the list for the ppl doing this on saturday will be:

Oran - Rusher1
Oran - One of his mules
Dop - Rusher2 (not going to use mule cus hes already rich and doesn't care)

Meh, sorry for accusing you then. . .

I'm assuming even If I installed d2 on my sisters computer it wouldn't matter because I have tried a pindle bot and because I was using d2loader. . and that I'm accused of using maphack (how?)

It's not really the forge. . .it's just most of my friends quit and I'm bored lately :(

Since we each have a lvl 25(or maybe a lvl 40 mule rdy) we can each rune a mule for the forge that means 4 rune mules each :P :drink:

I think you need a break. I've seen you complain about someone double posting, complain about flames, and yet youre taking pot shots? You care too much about what other people are doing (or not doing).

Take a step back, have a drink, go on a date, whatever... its a game, and it should be fun.

Okay. .so maybee it wasn't all that clear on first line. .

"I have, and I only need 1 Mal Rune for 2 shakos and a Um rune

OR

My one Um rune for two shakos"

But. .on third line I clearly stated one um for two shakos. .relating to the mal for two shakos+um. .so maybee you would think I need two shakos?

But yeah. .whatever.

Guess I should of said I have a mal rune, I need two shakos and a um. .even though the title said "Mal for two shako's and Um OR Um for 2 shakos"

Edit: Anyway, I'm staying out of this thread now, I've already been kicked out for supposively hacking. . .

Pot shot - uh.. slang for a personal attack.

My point is, just let it go. Dont get so uptight over things here.

I see people double post, some becuase they are new, some because they are dumb. Same with bumping threads in the trade sides, etc... Instead of trying to be a mod and reporting every little thing, I'll let the mods to their jobs and I dont think we'll suffer for it.

Never count the Dreddful One out! Sorry guys, but I've been having some serious PC problems the last few weeks and have been completely unable to get online to so much as check my blasted email (*spits a loogie at Microsoft*). Until I get my various problems sorted out I'm not going to be of much use to you guys; however, I'm still interested in getting this party started while there is still summer vacation left. :p

Even if I can't participate myself for awhile, the rest of you can certainly do this without me and I will join up when I am able (which should be sometime before the end of the world, I swear).

For the time being, please don't try to contact me through PMs. As usual, my inbox is packed full of DC questions that I've answered a million times. I don't empty it out anymore ... it's about the only way to block new questions from reaching me. :D I'll fix that problem very soon, so please be patient with me.

Oran, I'll PM you my email address and you can hopefully fill me in on what's been going on during my unexpected absence. I'll figure out our next step from there. And good luck on those SATs! I hope you are better at math than I was. :lol:

Evercrack?! EVERCRACK?!?!?! You guys get some funny ideas sometimes. Verant would have to pay me to play that evil game. Actually, a good friend of mine has been trying to talk me into dusting off my mage robes and returning but ... meh. Three years was enough.

During my odyssey into the creepy world of 'No Internet' [shudder] I've been enjoying some older games - mostly the Starfleet Command series.

I'll be back before too long though. All these new runewords and rumors about some new game changes have gotten me pretty excited. :)

It depends on how big of a party we are running. Six rushees will translate into something like 18 forge rewards (per person, counting all three difficulties), per two-night session. It's alot of tedious work but the rewards are worth it. The runes add up very quickly.

I was going to hop on and check my accounts this week but now I can't find my cds. *Curses the gods*

...and had I persisted I would have made #1. Not on the over-all ladder, but on the Druid ladder at least. I'll be remaking him next season. Fortunately, his gear will be very easy to recreate - the really funny thing about Puppy is that he was not decked out in uber-gear, yet he could solo DC in 15-20 seconds without even getting his fur singed.

I haven't quit yet, though I opted out of endless Baal running and Hell Forge rushing around the same time everyone else got back into it. Been doing endless MFing instead. :cheesy:

I won't be using my old Planewalker accounts anymore either for pretty much the same reason. Next season I'll be using a brand new set of accounts - I can't wait for a fresh start. :)

My friend is returning my cds this weekend so I should be around next Monday or Tuesday. I probably won't be playing at all until season two starts though - I'll just be cleaning out my old crap.

Oran, Lady Skeps is getting filthy rich rushing with her two comps. She doesn't really post here at all but you can find her all over the BNet forums. I'll get in touch with her when I'm back up and running.

Slim chances of success considering no one knows anyone. Maybe they'll all be leaping at each others throats the first time some elite item gets picked up on someone else's kill. Or we'll end up getting sabotaged as soon as someone feels powerful enough to pk us all on our 227th Baal run...
