Why the hell is this thread's main debate about economics?

because economics is the only reason most people play this game after beating it once.

back in 1.09 there was a problem with all realms where everything was in some asian language for a few days, then they fixed it.

they were made runewords and then socketed runes were taken out of the item. I remember people were at one point selling ith weps with a bunch of empty sockets which were meant for 40/15 jewls.

they also had bugged 1.08 valors, 1.08 gazes, zephyr runeword wepons with 40/15 jewls, occy rings, bugged ammys etc etc.

heh a lot has change since 1.09.

your main trading currency are now runes so dont throw any away. even the low level ones can be put in cube to make better ones.

as far as making a sorc goes, i would recommend a pure blizzard sorc for beginning as they seem to work best for mf ing hell meph etc. Also get a act 2 nm defensive merc and lvl him up. (look up guides on google for making a blizzard sorc).

later on when u get rich (and make an infinity runeword for your merc), respect stats on your sorc (this is now possible in 1.13 from akara quest), and make a pure lighning sorc (chain lightning, lightning).

Best way to get rich fast thogh, rush yourself if you can to hell and keep doing the hellforge quest as you can always get high level runes that trade well.

hope this helps.

ps. sojs are now worth a lot more then they used to in 1.09 so dont throw them away as you used to in1.09

The way i see it, if your top priority in this game is to get rich, but you don't know what forum gold is and dont want to be involved with any 3rd part programs/ forums like me, the guide is simple.

The most legit way to get rich (without using fast user switching on one computer or any programs that enable you to run more than one copy of diablo on one computer):

1. build another 2/3/4 pentium 4 or amd XP computers at around $5-20 bux (128mb ram, 5/10 gb hd, 8mb video card etc).
2. Buy another 2/3/4 d2 cdkeys (either from those sites that sell them cheap), or get the games of ebay for $5-$10
3. Make a rusher (sorc or pally)
4. Start rushing 2/3/4 level 1 characters (plus you could get your friend in there also with another few level 1 chars) through to hell hellforge and collect runes.

I havent timed rushes before but say you could do the whole game in about 40 mins, you could be getting 5+ hell forges in that time. do this for a week and there ya go, u make your own rune words without trading with people on forums or paying money (donations hm hm ) for dupes and stimulating a corrupt economy.

I havent played since 1.10 but i presume hellforges in hell can still drop ist/ gul etc. In no time you could be making your own hotos and enigmas etc

That's correct. The "Mystery" is the respec ability.

spanning across the world from the ancient Monastery Catacombs, to the Throne of Destruction, is where you'll find what you seek...

the respec mystery is not a challenge, it happens before you even get to monastery catacombs

what time is this in new zealand for patch :/ -- figured it out , 5am wednesday + 6 hrs maintenance = 11 am sweet

Dang. That guide just made me not want to play..

I feel the same way. I havent played since 1.10 and i got no idea what this forum gold bs is. I might just go and play on bnet without even using that crap, and create games if i wanna trade an item for an item.

One thing not being mentioned for an upgrade is the resolution of the game. It feels sht playing at 800X res , especially nowdays.... if they updated that d2 would look a lot better and even playable..

Agree with you completely. There isn't Diablo feel anymore. Everything is shiny, clear and bright opposite to first 2 games. Invisible, unseen, gritty, dirty, messy, unpredictable feel of the game's gone. I think Diablo feel is the most important thing in Diablo games not gameplay.

yea the thing is , i look at these screenshots , and although i can tell its diablo, I cant exactly figure out what da F*%%% is making it look like warcraft ... Im really not even sure anymore, is it the colour, or the edges, the size of things??, i really cant figure it out but its annoying that I can straight away tell that somethings wrong....

When i remember diablo 1, the color of potions and health globe was Deep Red, like blood, and mana was ocean deep blue. Rejuvination potions were dirty yellow, the fire from the church was dark red ( NOT freaking orange). .. . its these 16bit :thumbsup: colors that made the game look epic....


I even remember that warcraft 1 looked more epic and "scarry ' in some ways to what warcraft 2 and 3 moved to. I remember showing my brother warcraft 3 when it came out (he was the first generation that played wc1 and hasn't really been gaming much since), and he was like, damn wtf this looks like crap...

hmm i dont know what to say anymore. Theres not much we can do, lets just hope the gameplay will be as good as diablo 2 , and that will hopefully remove this ugly soft non epic graphic look of the new diablo..
