1) Monsters figured out how to make the rune and gem drop sounds.
2) Items could drop with the set/rare/unique colors, but change when they're identified.
3) Monsters could drop unique daggers and such at will, but pick them up as soon as a character approached (especially useful between several mobs with Fanat/Conviction/Extra Fast/LE etc).

:shrug:

I'm bored. Add some.

4) if the monsters figured out how to equip the unique weapons/armour they carry around in their back pocket.

also 6) if they learned how to open bottles... and started drinking the potions the have in their rucksacks instead of just dropping them once they're dead...

if bosses learned how to spam bone prison and would only spawn in the ancients arena. . . .

If bosses/enemies could take your resistances and life into consideration when choosing an attack :)

Imagine Diablo only using his LoD attack. Mmm.

By "only spawn in the ancients arena", do you mean that they would reset when the character uses a tp?

If monsters got AI. Damn that would make a lot of players have a lot of deaths.

If all five waves of baals minions spawned at once, covering almost the whole throne. If baal casted iron maiden :flip:

If every monster would run for their lives after the first scratch they receive, no kill -> no exp -> no skills or stats

If the monsters resorted to cannibalistic tendancies. Honestly what the hell do they eat?!

If the druid forum didn't exist

i think the monsters are vegetarian. they just cant distinguish between a paladin and a vegetable.

Zabo
19-07-2004, 06:12
That would explain why the majority of the enemies in act 2 are undead, just not enough greens! I guess eating cactus' just wasn't enough.

electricblue
19-07-2004, 06:17
what I wonder is with what the false summoner feeds the guys in arcane sanctuary..
exporting food?
the summoner guys actually a trade person?

Zabo
19-07-2004, 06:20
Stupid me. Cactus plural is cacti.

Well, maybe he "summoned" a few tv dinners? I mean there's always the possibility that the arcane sanctuary has a self sustaining enviroment..seeing as that place is it's own dimension and all.

If baal actually attacked players while minions are out instead of just sitting there. Try spamming meteor/blizz/hammers while sitting in his mana burn flamethrower.

Also, if pindleskin spawned in the throneroom instead of next to a wp.

Most useful mod first, of course.

If blizzard made the monsters able to cast slow player, like slow missles, except EVERYTHING is slower. Anyone wanna cry when they swing slower than grizwold ?

If monsters had a spell which was an area damaging spell. The area of damage would expand outward from the monster dealing insane damage. This spell could be cast many many times and the damage wouldn't stop. The monster could also cast a curse which would lower the ability of players to have defense against said spell. The monster could appear magically next to the player and use the curse to lower the defense and then spam his wicked powerfull circle spell. No player would be safe. Teleporting monster, huge damage from the spell, and no defense against this spell.

--------------
another one
--------------

If the monster could sit out of screen from the player and use a spell like the following. It tracks the player mercifully, following them wherever they go. The spell does insane damage, something upwards of 2-4k. The spell knocked the player back and ignored the players defense. The spell is used so fast that some of the lower computers are unable to even display the spell. The player simply dies.


Wow, that would be some impossible monsters to fight.....
I know sarcasm is hard to notice in writing so, insert sarcastic tone here

Oh, and I think you mean "mercilessly"(sp?).

If people discovered Maphack and bots, the economy would be doomed....oh wait....

KaUgA
21-07-2004, 16:00
I really don't think the maphacks destroy the economy at all. Think about it. The people who have the good items have maphack right? People who don't want uber items, who don't invest the time in the game keep using mediocre or even worse items. The community doesn't get screwed because the wealth stays with the wealthy. Think about it. If I'm just a casual D2 player then I would never have any good items. Well I might, but I wouldn't have a BOTD (which I don't) or anything requiring a Zod rune. I wouldnt get a maphack because I wouldn't want it.

Lets think about economics here, any good economy needs differences in social economic class. Diablo 2 has exactly that. I wouldn't be considered in the highest class, but at the same time I'm not in the lower bracket. There are basically three classes in Diablo 2. The people with god awesome uber items (Using Enigma, BoTd, etc.) People such as my self whose best items are always on the character being used at the moment (I have 2 soj;s total, one is on my mf sorc and one is on my new trapper). Then there are the people who simply don't care about being a super high level character or awesome items.

The chances of someone going from the bottom class to the highest are slim to none. Someone dropping from the highest class to the lowest, albeit from losing account or something, are also slim to none. The economic classes stay pretty secure. The wealth stays with the wealthy, and the poor, well, stay poor.

All said and done, maphacks, imo, do not ruin the economy at all. That's from an economic standpoint. They do increase the number of uber items available, but if more people were playing the game then the number of uber items would raise too.
Bots on the other hand, they ruin the economy. I don't feel like typing anymore.

Yes. MH and duping don't ruin the economy cause it's ****ed already. Good point :scratch:

Good point, Tron!! what if a foul would use Berzerk?? We have virtually NO magic res (unless we get it from equipment) so the creatures would wipe the floor with us... :scratch:

IF
The monsters in the whole game had a trading community where they also botted, hacked and duped. It would be dueling all over the place, except pub dueling!

IF
Monsters were able to enter a trade with you. So you would see a bunch of monsters trying to click on you spamming, WUG WUG WUG!

Bob_TheMadCow
22-07-2004, 16:08
If someone re-programmed the trade bots to jump into random games and start DROPPING high-end items, instead of spamming adverts :evil:

I recently had those spear chicks use jab on me in act5 hell. Was on the way to ancients or anya I can't remember. A whole boss pack of them were using it. Almost killed me too.

I've seen a form of viper(salamanders) use inferno.




New one- If bosses could spawn with random mods in addition to their normal strengths.

Extra strong/Fanat/extra fast Duriel(Think botd charger). Conviction diablo/andy.

if monsters could do simple things like take STAIRWAYS and PORTALS. imagine entire WSK following you downstairs.

24-07-2004, 02:10
that would suck cuz then imagine running to the throne and having to deal with all the souls from lvl 2 -throne omfg that would throw baal runs straight down the drain.

24-07-2004, 02:59
Oh, how I wish D2 required skill...

I think I'm about to quit, I'm bored of every build I try and I can't find anything interesting and effective. I'd love a Grenadier (Assy using Fire Blast), but the bloody FI's stop me from doing that...etc. Someone suggest a fun build before I crack the D2 CD in half.

prion
24-07-2004, 17:14
use lightning traps to synergize fire blast so u can use them on FI

Bob_TheMadCow
24-07-2004, 17:41
yeah, with Fire Blast, CB Sentry, Lightning Sentry and Death Senrty maxed, Lightning Sentry would be doing at least as much damage as Fire Blast

IntemptestaNox
24-07-2004, 20:05
I was thinking of trying a Grenadier, as well. Maybe Fire Blast + Shock Web?

essojay
24-07-2004, 21:34
Ahem, to get back on the topic.

If you could actually get damaged by party members and mercs.

You know, if the sorc behind you casts a FO, it only makes sense if you take damage from it.

Imagine getting swarmed by a party member Fishymancer's skellies.

If rain actually affected skills that use fire.

If characters could suddenly and randomly die of age.

If Big D could spam Bone Spirits after prisoning you.

If learning skills actually took time, not instant.

If you could collect a few ears and make a String of Ears out of them.

If mercs could screw you over at the last minute and start attacking you.

If it actually took time to get the potion out of your pocket, open the potion, and drink the contents.

If NPCs sold counterfeit items that are worthless despite what it says it does.

If your corpses could be shattered.

If bosses could strip you.

If the heroes could wear 10 rings.

If you could fall off cliffs.

If the River of Flame could actually burn you.

If the "rickety walls" of the Rogue Encampment weren't so protective.
