I'd love to play Diablo II again. But I don't have enough time to play with you guys, I guess.

I'd love to play Diablo II again. But I don't have enough time to play with you guys, I guess.

Level the char on your own time, and play in the group when you can - that is what I do - works very well

 

[SimpleMinded]

Aye, I'm in a similar boat with time running short.

the best strategy is
Tristam Runs -> Tomb Runs -> Baal Runs

and you should be able to level along pretty quickly to keep pace.

 

[Bofast]

We are kinda like a team of singleplayers who just happen to be in the same game from time. Well, if one looks at the relative time spent playing as a group, anyway

That sword is priceless indeed

Going away for the weekend, but I'll be in touch

 

[SimpleMinded]

That' an awesome, awesome belt. Good resistances are hard to find on belts I feel like.

I'm cool with the staff if I ever get time again lol.

 

[Bofast]

So, is anyone planning to play this weekend?

 

[Sicblades]

I played some today, no one came on.

PS: I found something for you Bo, you'll love it for sure.

 

[Bofast]

I'll be online from time to time today, but not between 10 AM and 15 PM EST.

Sicblades, get online and show me!

By the way, I just found a socketed aerin shield with +25% to all resists, so I threw in the runeword that Qual-Kehk gives you in Act 5. It has some really sick resists (the lowest is +68%).
Unless Bloodypuppy shows up with his paladin and wants it, I'm transferring it to my own paladin (when I meet someone who can keep the game open for me to switch characters).

 

[SimpleMinded]

I might be able to sneak on sometime today. However, I'm only level 25 still so I need a lot of catching up I'm sure.

But if you can get me to act 5, I'll just catch up via baal runs.

 

[Bofast]

Sicblades and I just played a bit. I'm going now, but he's still there. In 6 hours or so I can go online again, and if you're online then we can do whatever quests you want

 

[Sicblades]

I'll be on, just send me a whisper when you get on.

True - an awesome belt!

 

[Bofast]

It would have been better if it didn't require a total of 4 items from the set for the resistances, though.

I'm eating now, going online in ~30 minutes or so
