Awesome job, Soul!

Yeah, guess I'll have to try the reinstall, also. Thanks for the reply, Mordor. We all love you. And TH.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to playing some TH multiplayer again. Now it won't even let me create an MP character, like Siaynoq.

Then there's the problem of getting it to work.. Kali stops being an option after the 30-day trial period, nobody wants to pay for it. Hamachi never works. I've yet to try Tunngle but I've heard good things about it's success rate, so I'm optimistic.

Awesome write-up, Cherub. :Thumbs Up: I am in agreement on everything you've said. All are reasons I can't wait for Diablo 3. It WILL be a masterpiece.

I believe in D1 light radius affected when monsters 'saw' you.

The less light radius you had, the closer you could get to a monster without them noticing you. So, in theory, if you had enough negative light radius, you could walk through the game without any monsters attacking you. I could be wrong, though. I heard it somewhere...

I joined for the latte.

... which I still haven't recieved. WTF?

Welcome to the forums, also. :3

Yes.. yes.. join the dark side.

We have cookies... apparently.

Can I switch my current character over to USEast then and play with some of you guys? I was checking that out last week and it didn't seem like there was a way to do it.

No, that is impossible, unfortunately.

If you joined BoD and made a character on East there will be lots of people eager to help and play with. Or you could apply as an alliance member if you're not interested in fully joining a clan, but still play with them.

I seem to remember you from when I played Easter Sun. I hadn't played for a long time though so I figure I can enjoy it again. And with no ladder to speak of I'll just take my time with it.

Yeah, we played some. xD

I'm the 'filthy cheater' that gave you some of your sin's gear. ^^

Everything you said is exactly why I quit playing LoD. Once I realized that the game is now just a soulless grind-fest, I decided I'd rather wait for D3. Which is looking better and better every time I read or hear about it.

Even Eastern Sun has got pretty dull for me. I know a few people that still play, but I just simply don't feel like playing. I guess I'm just too excited for D3 to play anything D2-related.. :|

Staying up until 11:00 AM the next morning playing the Eastern Sun mod for the first time with two buddies. Soooo much fun. :biggrin:

As long as the characters/bosses that appear in these random events are memorable, like D1 memorable (eg Gharbad, Butcher), I will be VERY happy.

Yeah, some crafting recipes would be nice. Makes that number seem a lot smaller. xD

I'm seriously wondering how we're going to upgrade gems. The old fashioned way, 3 of same grade -> 1 of next grade? Because if that's the case, it's gonna take A LOT of gems to get a radiant star gem. Especially since only the first 5 grades can drop. >.>

There are 9 more grades above radiant, the fifth grade, so..
(# of radiant gems needed for next grade)^(# of grades above radiant)
3 ^ 9 = 19638

o.O 19638?! FML

Collecting that many 5th grade gems would take years of non-stop playing, even with trading. Unless you're able to just buy gems late game, which is less ridiculous, but still pretty bad. Hopefully they provide several different methods of upgrading gems, or reduce the number gems needed for the next level to 2, although that might make it too easy.

I'd like to know:
Skills - I'd love to know what all the skills do with their rune effects.
Traits - a full list of the final traits would be great.
Personal Play Experience - always a good read, also something to relate and compare to if I manage to get in the beta.

I would not like to know:
Items - I don't want to know any specifics about the items, saying you got this badass sword that did *this* is alright, but I want to experience finding all these items for myself. I'm interested in which D1/D2 uniques will be in D3, although personally, I'd much rather play the game myself to find that out.
Quests, Areas, Lore - Anything that might spoil the storyline is a no-no.
Monsters - Again, I want to experience a "WTF IS THAT?!" moment. xD
