Vega, DX and aman's Dark Project =D

[goltar25]

If you didn't want to have to rely on the "kind people" of open bnet to host a game up for you to swich your items between your chars, the dll was the only known and legit way of muling, and let me tell you- everybody did it, and if you were playing back then, you'd be doing it too.

Personally, I never used the modified dll, for two reasons. First (and most importantly) I didn't know about it. Second, my computer then wouldn't have been able to handle that. The second is also why I never played online, it just didn't run well enough. Had ATMA been available then, I would have gladly used it.

The modified dll aint more cheating than ATMA is.

Agreed.

Now, as for this project of yours. While not MY preferred way of going about it, that's not the issue. This is a game, and if you are enjoying it, then that's what is most important. As far as I can see, everything you are doing (except maybe asking people not to post certain ideas) is completely within the rules and guidelines of this community as well. Yes, I can agree that negative posts can be just a lot of clutter and annoyance, and lead to flame wars, etc. But they are valid opinions on the matter, and as long as they remain civil, should not be completely ignored.

Anyway, back to the topic of the thread. Good luck with your project, and have fun. Hopefully, you'll get your runes before you go insane or get tired of the project.

No hard feelings whatsoever man
Yeah, it made my blood boil for a sec, but hey, no harm done, so why not simply give you a good kick in the shin and call it even?

*Misses, hitting the family j00lz*

err.... my bad

hehehe, I've just imbued my underwear with the runeword sto... :o .. heh... that might not be appropriate .

[Lord_Vega]

Sto... :lol:


Alright, let me clear this up once and for all.
Right before deciding on this project together with DX and aman, we've all read the last few threads on the subject, a couple of them by Rag, and another by someone else (forgive me for not remembering the name right now).

In any case, in the mjority of the threads, people who've been more verbal about their disliking on this matter, even as far as calling it cheating, have gotten "flamed", even if mildly, as to the extent of getting their feelings hurt, and by this I can give the example of Shags.

Now, all I meant and wanted actually came in good spirit, and the whole point was not to start another one of those "falme" threads, as I didn't want people like Shags to get their feelings hurt.

It's truly ironic that by actually wanting to protect these fellow forumites, and not shut them up as some of you might've taken it, I've managed to get people to actually report my thread as if people don't know I've been here for like 5 years... ironic, a little sad, but hey, cest la vie.

We've all learned to see that this place doesn't always make alot of sense when it comes to rules (...) but hey- most of us stick to this place as it's just... home

In any case, if you wanted to give me a hard time over English not being my native language, you've made it

Sorry for not having been understood properly.

Tomorrow we will post some new finds, as we are ahead of at least 2-3 more full rushes! ^^

Sorry to go a little off topic but i just had a question about the rushing process. If i wanted to host a game and join it with other D2 instances, would it matter that other people cant join my games? I dont think my computer would block itself from connecting to itself...but who knows

I wouldn't suppose you'd have problems "conneting to yourself" as the IP on both "computers" is the same, so I do beliee it should work just fine.

As for us, here is a little update, after doing another two full rushes today (7 chars x2):


1 KO
3 MAL
3 PUL
2 GUL
2 IST
3 LUM
3 UM
1 LEM
3 HEL
1 IO
1 SHAEL
1 DOL
4 FAL

I guess Rag was right, as is you get one, or the worth of one Gul rune per full rush (7 chars).

After some cubing, this places us way over halfway to the first Lo, with us having an Ohm already! :clap:

I wouldn't want to post the whole content of the entire "VegaAmanDX" stash, because it has way too many Hel's and such, but the important runes are something like this:

Ohm
Gul
Ist
Mal x6
Pul x7

And of course, tons of Lem/Ko/Lum/Fal....

In any case, I think we're doing quite fine, and should put together the first Lo in the following couple of weeks or so!

Aman, because you suck and never actually take part in the runs, you are the las to get your rune, which just might turn out to be a Ohm instead of a Lo

P.S- not to beg or anything, but if anyone has spare flawed/normal gems rotting in their stashes, this is the time to trade them off to the Vegameister ^^

[aman]

Yeah sorry i can't help more :o , and i don't mind beeing last

you have mail!

[Lord_Vega]

you have mail!

Do I?
My gmail box seems pretty empty to me

Btw, I just realized that if we net another Gul tonight (2 more rushes planned for tonight with DX), we will be able to put together the first Lo! :clap:

1 Ohm
1 Vex
1 Gul
1 Um
6 Pul

Add one more Gul and you get Gul+Gul+Vex+Ohm= Lo! :clap:

edit: reading and replying to your pm now.

Ain't it a beaut? ^^
DX, I know this ain't the superior Archon you planned for it, but if you're really unhappy with it, you can wait for the 2nd Lo (hopefuly, without too many bad feelings ^^). If you like it though, it's yours to have, as I have promised you to be the first to get the Lo.

Anyways peeps, been a long day with 4 full rushes, so I'm heading to bed, feeling totally legit and satisfied

Edit- forgot to update that we now stand at this rune count:
Gul
Mal
Pul
Lems/Kos/Fals etc.
