Well, I have been playing this game since it all started, as a matter of fact I was a bata tester for the orginal Diablo back in late 1996. I recall my wife screaming at me to get off the computer while she was contracting with our first child.....nevermind, that's another story.
Anyway, I recently redeployed back from Iraq and decided I'd blow the dust off my Diablo cd's and here is what I have learned in those 2 weeks.
1. TPPK SUX. I have not been the victim of this crime but I have seen it happen 2 times and man, that has got to be the worst way to go. Both times it happened I was in a group that was fighting Baal's minions. Leason learned? Stay out of public games or at least stay away from anyone's TP.
2. My first char I made was a LF Zon. I meet up early with a another player and we did Co-Op for about 7 nights straight when it happened. I was an act ahead of him so I agreed to rush him from Act 2 NM to Act 3. We were in the Trav and my Zon (Lev54) with about 600+Life dies when one of the council members poped on death. We each had loot on so I wasn't to upset. Until...... he never showed up to give me back my gear and I havn't seen him on since. Lesson learned? People still suck.
3. If I see another BOT add for buying gear from a website I'm gonna shot myself. Lesson learned? The prices sure have come down from a year ago!!!
4. Where are all the players in NM level? Even during peak playing hours there is hardly ever any open games in NM anymore. Lesson learned? The game is dieing a slow death or everyone is so scared to play pub games there all gaining little to no exp playing solo private games.
5. Today I decided I would venture back to Normal level and play till I at least leveled up to 54. I decided I would do the nice thing and lead lower level folks on Baal runs. HAHAHAHA, Everyone acused me of being a PK the second I joined a Baal game or created a Baal game. After about 8 Baal runs I finaly had a full game of folks. Leason learned? Everyone thinks everyone is a PK.
Well, I guess that about sums it up for my last 2 weeks of HC playing. I'm at lev 54 again, slugging through Act2 NM like a snall in a marathon. If anyone wants to Co-Op give me a buzz, I'm an idiot in that I can't stand to play alone so I'll proubly meet a grizly death once again sometime soon.
