Music to my ears.. hated the overpowered hirelings in d2:lodThey are not intended to be, and we will take whatever steps are necessary to ensure they cannot be. -
Sep 21, 2010akse posted a message on Level 60 capI like this.. you don't ding levels all the time.. gaining 1 level should be slower and when u finally get level up it rewards a lot more than now in D2.Posted in: News
Also in D2 your character was pretty much done when u hit 80.. it could do almost anything already. -
Mar 5, 2010akse posted a message on 1.13's Final DaysHmm need to play my barb to 60 at least before reset:) have some nice sword that I wanted to build a barb for. Haven't played much though so the sword has just been lying around. Well 45 lvl now so not much to go.Posted in: News

Feb 25, 2010akse posted a message on New Changes With 1.13bPosted in: NewsQuote from "Don_guillotine" »TPPK was mostly that elephant in the living room, which made everyone either dead or wary of public Baal-runs etc. Most people didn't like that.
No one is forcing to play some lame baal runs. Just join a baal run game and go clear CS or ancients way or such and enjoy some exp get some items and watch others die to TPPK
Many times it seems that people can't do a thing on their own in this game anymore. -

wtf Lego universe! If i want legos i get the huge box from my parents and start building.. or not
Wut.. when the ladder reset comes .. all ladder chars go to non-ladder. Ofc you get access to the items by making non-ladder chars but thats kinda meh.WOOOO Ladder reset, I have a mule with some uber gear on ladder that I got from joining "free games" and I'm just waiting for a ladder reset to access them. Then also me and a friend are gonna go on ladder and make ladder only runeword chars.
Everyone in the new ladder will start from scratch. -

I really hope they never make a game where they need to cut out some features because there is not enough buttons or something. (MW2 not balanced for lean!) -
Dec 12, 2009akse posted a message on The Wait is Over -- PTR Patch 1.13Posted in: News
Eh well i've done it like that since 2000.. You can get to 70-80 lvl in one day even if you do all the quests and run by yourself or with a friend or 2 that also started a new character.How about you do that exact method for oh...I don't know 13 years total? Let me know how fun it is to rerun a very boring PvM game since it's so easy multiple times buddy. They didn't fix anything yet again waste of man power. Now instead of instant level 90's we have level 90's in a few days...congrats Blizzard you wasted yet again more man power on something that wasn't breaking the game nearly as bad as multiple other shit.
Anyways blizzard still haven't gone to the root of the leeching problem. There were no leechers before LOD because all the exp were fully shared with party and if you grouped with a character higher than 10 levels than you, your part of exp would be so tiny that there would be no point leeching. Well a lot of things were better back then, but that what they should do if they'd want to remove leeching.
You didn't even read my post? What does iron maiden do to casters that are majority in this game.. nothing. And yes I have only 600-700 hp on my sorc in Classic. I know it is easy in LoD with all the uber items you get there.. the game is a joke in LoD, in classic thers still some challenges every now and then.Chaos is a joke without IM. What's there to fear? Amp damage? How much life you got...1000? Oh no that lower res inferno those lords do on you are deadly! Chaos is a joke and can easily be run by any class, even melee could do it before if they were smart. They didn't to just modify the % of damage instead of removing it totally cause now Chaos is just as I said a joke. There is no threat unless you are bad and get taken out in PvM in a game where they essentially build your character up as a god.
I didn't say that melee couldn't do it.. I only said that why is there 2 crucial areas in game where melee can't go all in while casters have nothing to fear there. As I said 1.09 challenge in CS was great but 1.10 is pretty much a suicide.
Why would you even care about iron maiden if u get rushed to 90 lvl in 2 hours? You don't play the content, other people do it for you.
In Classic HC all you see barbs doing is being either BO bots or BO bot/corpse popper. Now that they remove IM maybe they could do something else there too.
Anyways this seasons barb have gone to CS only about 5 times once soloed the whole thing with ww and 2hander mace.. it took 20 mins to lure the monsters out of mages etc. Then I've done it 4 or something times with a pala friend, I did a tanking job with lvl 1 war cry, wasn't very exciting.. and oh infector with conv does hurt, howl was handy though. Rest of the exp came from soloing river of flame, but I think it's fun that I could go to CS some times in 1.13 with a barb when River has sucky monsters that doesn't give exp at high levels. -

Why put tons of new stuff on top of the old pile of crap. The game is very broken imo, it would take ages to repair itQuote from "scyberdragon" »Agreed. Call me delusional but I wanted something new. Not just fixes to old stuff.
Anyways, I like the new windowed modes. Fullscreen (4:3) window that doesnt lose focus if you missclick outside the window, almost got killed many times in HC because of that
- Fixed an item dupe bug rather then work on hacks. Tried to fix an economy that was already trashed and this will play very little part in fixing it, otherwise this is wasted man power.
Increased drop rate which is good, but there is already a huge abundance of them out there this just makes them worth less.
Lol first you say that dupe wasn't a big problem and that dupe fix doesn't do much good to the game. Then you say that there is a huge abundance in runes, you didn't figure why was it so? Maybe cause of duping? Oh yea!
Raising rune drop rate doesn't make the worth less because if they fixed duping they will be many times more rare than now. Duping makes runes worth less not increasing drop rates by 3x. As someone said "In 1.13 finding zod will only take you 200 years instead of 800", in 1.12 you can get zod quite easy sinsce they are duped so much.
3.)Nightmare/Hell WilloWisps champions/uniques have had their damage greatly reduced.
These were never an issue if you actually had some resistance on your character and knew how to play your character.
The wisps huge damage is based on a bug in the game that they probably fixed now and it's ok to fix bugs. Same thing with the fire ench bug.
Howabout playing the game like it should be.. no rush, no leech instead of whining about blizzard removing a huge exploit in the game?So now instead of doing Ubers to make my guy level 90 in an hour I have to waste days following Baal runs...yippee
Eh? No threat. This doesn't make CS any easier for non melee. There are a lot of stuff in CS that can kill anyone (conv infector etc at least in classic). Iron Maiden was only pain in the ass for melee characters. And made it really hard for melee classes to compete in high levels because they couldn't really clear the place at all, or many times slower than casters.So now chaos sanc has absolutely no threat in it...again yippee! Now any newb can go in there unscathed and kill Diablo.
Iron maiden was still ok pre-LOD and pre 1.10, I don't understand why they changed the reflection amount. After 1.10 1 hit can kill you which isn't really fun if your character is built to only hit with normal melee damage. Back pre 1.09 you could do whirls in CS when you were a bit careful and didn't go all out on big crowds. Short whirls and leap attack mages first was fun and exciting. Even if you got IM you probably lost about ? hp which was fine. Now you die pretty much instantly. -

Are you sure? Look at 1.10+. Blizz failed at balancing the effect of the changes to the game. (synergies, items monster hps etc.)Quote from "Airandius" »
Oh and balancing isn't all that hard
Guess you guys should do it since it seems to be so easy. -

I wish they revert classic back to 1.06 game was fine back then.Quote from "Stalker7d7" »How long it took to make 1.13? Even now, I wish they just reverted to 1.09. -
Dec 11, 2009akse posted a message on The Wait is Over -- PTR Patch 1.13Sure, its easy to change some values. But they probably dont want higher level cap or more difficulties in the first place.. Even I don't want and probably not many others either.Posted in: News
How long it took to make 1.10? We got some new content, synergies, runewords etc in that patch and the team building it was most likely a lot bigger at that time. -
Dec 11, 2009akse posted a message on The Wait is Over -- PTR Patch 1.13Posted in: News
Yeah sure.. make changes to the game and put it on test realm and let it be there for 2 years so all the things are fixed in a way that the game is balanced..Quote from "Stalker7d7" »They do have a test realm up right now. What do you think that's for? Why can't they let the players do most of the work for them, then program in the new numbers...
I doubt it's that easy to make all the changes you suggested, new difficulty, 150-200 lvl, items etc.. Thats like making a new expansion. -
Dec 11, 2009akse posted a message on The Wait is Over -- PTR Patch 1.13Posted in: News
Would require huge amount of testing, balancing and developing.. something that the small legacy team don't have time and resources.Quote from "Stalker7d7" »If this is all this patch has to offer. Consider me underwhelmed.
Wheres the new loot? Runewords, uniques, crafting? Levels up to 150/200, with extra difficulties?
Shouldn't be too hard. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

there is a nice stream of guy soloing act3 inferno with barb.. some kiting but not all the time.

Super good uniques(legendaries) are not very interesting, everyone will end up with same set of items because they are the best and they have the same stats (Arreats helm on every barb etc).
It is always a thrill to identify a rare, not very much interesting to identify a Legendary with fixed stats because you already know whats it gonna be.
It is true that Legendaries like the Bow explained above should have dex and vita on them.. Maybe even fixed stats. You would know that thats the weapon I'm gonna get at lvl X. But still a rare should be better since it would be harder to roll the right item with right stats anyways.

In HC Hell there could be only 3-10 games and when you checked the names you knew most of the players there.
Sure it was also nicer to have high level HC character than SC character since dying did happen often for some people. If you managed to stay alive for 80+ (at least in classic d2) it was a nice feat.
Also when items got lost when people died there was less Sojs etc in the market. You also had to build your character a bit differently, more survival!

I bet there will still be a lot of challenge in all Inferno difficulty Acts and if Act1 and Act2 is not enough for you you can just farm 3 and 4.
