KTA 2nite

[Tikadea]

it was a wonderfull evening yesterday peeps.

no real lag (except some caused by zillions of poison nova's), a good strong party, no death's (except some monsters that is) and some nice finds (peasant crown, fal among others). and above all a nice friendly party with plenty of killing power and lots of time to chat.

specialy the ancients must regret they ever tried to fight us... man they died fast!

also some real good lvling by all i think, i got some 7 lvl's yesterday, and i think moost others did about the same.

already looking forward till next week guys, keep the spirit going!

I second that, was plenty fun! Was it Nova or Explo that was causing the lag? Not sure really, i just like the fireworks on that Necro! Thx v much again for letting me be in on this...my m8 Wailingdoom in SP (HC veteran of many years) is beginning to be swayed by this adventure...

Yep, can third that !!!

Also, the stragglers at the end did a cow run and found a couple of useful items. Nothing mega wow, but a sol and that long wished for 4 sox polearm (scythe, I think). So now we should be able to make insight and solve some of those mana problems.

I didn't really notice any lagging, not skill related, or other. Btw, there isn't really any big advantage in spamming poison nova, as the spell effects last for a fixed 2 seconds. All spamming does is to reset the clock - no additional damage is done (unlike firewall, for example).

I think next week, we should start off with a few baal runs for another few levels and then start hell.

til then

Just thought I would make a lil post to show my interest in joining this group as MrKaxe pointed out.

Started playing diablo 2 about 7 years ago, and the past few years its been on and off. Currently playing single player as I find it more of a challenge, /players 8, untwinked, self found etc, but what I do miss the most is playing with other players and actually working as a team to finish the game.

Certainly sounded like you had a blast last night with your game and thats something I would like to enjoy too. I have no clue what I would play, something fun and I'm sure MrKaxe will offer to aid me in the first stages. I dont have an account yet, *spankedmonkey is already gone ;-).

Let me know if I can join

I know dude but my hotkeys were screwed around as you lot only wanted Decrep, Dim Vision and Corpse Explo and i'm used to Lower Resist-Poison Nova-Bone Spear-BS-BS-BS-PN so juggling Decrep etc in there made me spam the wrong spell!

Get Wailingdoom in!

Don't see why not - the more the merrier ?
Just for info, we have finished NM and are about lvl 65 or thereabouts. What sort of chars do you prefer ? We don't have an amazon in the group.

Also, it is possible to have 2 people using the same account, just not the same char. This would mean that you both have the password to that account and that an enormous amount of mutual trust is needed - something you two need to decide ...

LOL, not that you knew this but Wailingdoom is one of my best budz and i've known him since i was 5! He'll contest how good we are as mates tho!!
We could share the acc but i think he will make a new one anyway with a funnier name! Onward KTA then...he'll make some crazy Ama build if that's what we are missing i reckon...all passive Zon Wailingdoom?!?

I was thinking about an amazon actually, I had a burizon on bnet when they were popular (got her to lvl 94) and a Javazon (lvl 87). Never done a strafzon or freezezon(heh?) so I have those 2 to consider. Also thinking about a leaping barbarian with a massive polearm/2handed sword to smash into the minions skulls. Maybe even a pure lightning sorc or trapper, never really liked lightning based spells for some reason. Maybe I can rain fire onto minions with a spammable immolate build. Oh the choices are endless..

Unfortunatley I know MrKaxe in RL and for nearly 20 years but I'll still make a new account ;-)

Knew you'd say something like that

If you were interested in a FA zon dude they can be quite good as i have a full Mav's one and with Eye of Etlich and Raven and charms (all add to freeze duration) they stay frozen solid in Hell (safety 1st!) for ages...

hello all

of cource you are welcome waillingdoom... i see no reason why not.

a freezazon is a good choise, and fun too. (i played 1 in a previous KTA)

i also did play a leaper barb... and aldough they are a ton of fun as well there are a few problems with them. 1th... they will need a HUGE weapon... and since we have a charger already that needs that as well we would be fighting for the best weapons. 2th they get MASSIVE attack rating problems once they mature... (at least untwinked). in the KTA session i played the leaper (KTA-BunnyBarb he was called :grin: ) i did not even try to hit anything anymore past act 2 hell... chances to hit were to tiny!.
then more... we already have BO atm... so if you really want to play 1, and despite what i wrote above i wouldn't advise against it (just to much fun, and HUGE crowd control) , do so in the next KTA.

hope to cya around some more
