I'll do each part of your mega-post so it'll be clear what I'm talking about.
Quote from "Krow" »
You can't do anything besides play Diablo? Do something else in the meantime. And like I said, I have had a full game before, so that's your problem.
Ouch -- poor conclusion. It doesn't matter what time it is -- there's not a set time.
Quote from "Krow" »
Everyone on my friends list added me, so you're the only one with problems.
That's a logical fallacy.
Quote from "Krow" »
Also, you were obviously sneaking because you didn't tell us, and when I caught you you tried to cover it up
Going with the us oblivious = you lying and you move = concealing clandestine operations conclusions are we?
Quote from "Krow" »
Why did you join this group anyway? [...] Also, I said 12 because that's the amount of people I have played with.
I don't remember ever actually being in the group at all. As I recall, I just came in to see why your plan to start a forum party wasn't successful. How many people you've played with has nothing to do with how many friends I would get to party with (no idea how that logic came about... :confused: ).

Also, if you have 8 people in real life that can play when you tell them to [...]
Are we posting random hypotheticals now? I have a billion of those.

And I don't know why you think that we are making slow progress. [...] And if you count just normal, I finished the game.
I was starting to think you might not bring this up as an accomplishment. Good for you.
Here's what my initial thought to your post was:
I've already explained the logic of all of this to you a couple of times. Thought I'd get an interesting conversation out of this but it seems you have anterograde amnesia (or worse *Subtext*) so I'll persue other intriguers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But I must say your last post was quite amusing. Though I'm pretty sure you've nothing left to offer that would keep me rivetted.
I've had parties of six people daily. It's your fault that you don't communicate with people over Xfire and Diablo to get games going. And, if you have 12 friends who play Diablo on a daily basis, you've got problems.
Anyway, you're the one who was sneaking in public games getting those free rushes.
People have jobs, different sleeping hours, and to throw that all together, different timezones.
I added everyone. Only 1/3 reciprocated. Of those 1/3, only 1/3 are ever online at once; and only 1 is rarely playing at any given time. They don't want to party -- they can enjoy being a hypocrite.
Why would I need 12 people -- max players is 8. Counting is more important than D2 now. *There's subtext here.*
What sneaking? I was doing it prolifically from the start. No organization in this party to begin with so why would I wait or play with small parties. Why would I follow such a silly rule anyway? Such nonsense.
Yes -- people have lives. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. *There's subtext here.*
It's not fast atm -- it's been 3 days and you've just now finished normal. We communicate with messages -- I don't know you in RL and we don't have telepathy.
If the timezones are that big of a deal then they shouldn't be bothering with the group. The timezones on North America continent aren't that vast. Now if they simply don't have free time then that's different -- in which case different shifts are made. Personally, I like larger groups; so whichever shift is larger is what I'll jump in if I know when they are. If it's not larger than 4 then I might as well just get my brothers to play with me -- we would have better communication than a forum party.
Now if they don't check the forum, use xfire, or add friends on bnet; then they simply don't want to play with anyone.
Indeed. I've seen parties of 2-4 people -- which takes exponentially longer than a full group. I'm glad D3 will fix this issue by giving a party bonus; but not so much that not being in one is detrimental.
There also seemed to be a rotation on which individual would "rush" someone new. 1 on 1 rushing takes forever. A rushing time should be setup to get EVERYONE caught up. I wouldn't mind doing that since it could be done on MF routes and wouldn't take long.
Anyway... I'm free almost anytime for full party D2 playin'. Set it up.
I played with him a bit this morning. If a full party could be organized, we could do some tomb/meph/chaos runs to catch everyone up. It kinda seemed like Krow was wanting everyone to walk through the entire game on their own; but I think it's a lot more fun to play in a full group with all their skills.
I know... I was expecting a full party running at a certain time of the day right from the start; but it seems it hasn't been organized yet. Since I thought it'd be organized, I also thought the party would be a higher level so I caught up to level 37 (you guys started without me). Anyway, I'll be waiting until everyone catches up -- hopefully it'll be organized by then.
So now I'm a level 13 wind druid. I've added everyone that's listed their xfire. I guess no one's playing right now. So what's the majority at so I can catch up? Would do some private trist runs if I had enough people.
Well I haven't heard from anyone on how we should setup our party... but I did read someone's post about wanting all classes... So for now I'm looking into a trap assassin since I've never played one and I don't see a lightning user yet. It'd be best if we built a party that used every elemental, gave the best party buffs, and was able to break immunities (conviction aura, lower resist curse, etc.).
If we won't be starting anytime soon then I'll go to sleep. If I knew when we were starting I would wake up then...
**Well, done fully researching the trap assassin. Since nothing came up, I'm going to sleep. Be awake in 9 hours: 6 pm CST.
Didn't know what the 5/5 was when you said it... Did some looking and found that it's a jewel stat. I forgot about jewels cause I never use them -- I consider them useless.
Anyway, it's a unique helmet called shako that has a frost jewel in its socket (some uniques have sockets). I don't see a reason to have "super" in there.
There's also crafted items; but I don't think they're useful.
It's not that complicated. I think all that's added is Act 5, charms, class-specific equipment, and elite/exceptional items.
I had tried finding a decent public game for an hour or two before checking out the D2 boards -- couldn't find one. It'll also be better with a set group so that the drops benefit the people we party with and not some random people we only play a game or two with.
Would that be a bad thing? It's not like playing with random people is all that great: take all the loot, waste time finding decent players, not always in a full game, etc.
So what time do we party? I'm bored... Though I will mention that I will ditch once a week when my friend sporadically comes over and we play SSBB -- it's so hard to find decent players for that game.
Anyone ever find a window theme for an OS that's like Blizzard's website?
I'm talking about right click desktop -> Properties -> Theme tab. A theme based on either the Blizzard website (black background with blue text) or DiabloFans would be cool.
I've always wanted to make the background for everything black since it's much easier on the eyes and looks better, but when I've tried it, it turns out ugly. Maybe some theme maker has already done it somewhere...

So is that the name for your real account, xfire, character? Been waiting for this to start up... I guess everyone's still sleeping?
