I have a class 10 barbarian named Julian. I quit after I destroyed the countess at the bottom of the forgotten tower in the first world. My brother (class 17 paladin) has gotten to the desert world (I think he's still in the sewers). I talked him into leaving the game at my house last night (all it took was a Rita's water ice bribe), and I ended up playing until 2:30 am. My mom woke me up at 8, saying I had to take her to the dentist at 8:45. Then at 8:45, she told me that she forgot she had rescheduled her appointment for 11:30. I could have slept another hour! Blast! |
We killed Diablo 2 nights ago. Now we're playing nightmare level. |
I'm in Act III, but we keep having server freezes before we can finish the first quest there... I haven't touched it in a few weeks - I got the EverQuest needle in my arm once again - it helps to have high-level friends that'll powerlevel you... If you're on Cazic-Thule, give Imaan a shout. She's a level 10 magician. |
reminds me of 7th grade dungeons and dragons shit. get some fresh air kids. |
How do you choose which level (e.g. nightmare) you can play? Is it that you pass on to another level each time you beat the game? How long (in terms of days) did it take you to beat it, Margret? (I started my character yesterday and my brother started on Sunday.) I'm hoping he hasn't shown up at my house (now that I'm at work) and taken his game away. What will I do if I can't play tonight?? I'll have to read or talk to people! |
(1) You can't choose a level until you've completed the level preceding it in difficulty. So, I can do Nightmare because I finally finished Normal. I won't be able to do Hell until I've completed Nightmare. (2) It's been, ummm, like 3 or 4 weeks since we started. We only play after work and on weekends, and we were stuck on Chapter IV for a good two weeks replaying maps to reach sufficient level to smoke Diablo's daemonic ass. Which we only barely did, with both of us (on our home net) at level 30. And Cameron a Necromancer with a veritable army at his beck and call. Sigh. PARTIAL SPOILER/EASTER EGG ALERT: (3) If you didn't snag Wirt's leg is Tristram, before you start the nightmare level start the Normal over. Go to Tristram and get Wirt's leg. Combine it in your horadric cube with a tome of town portal. Prepare to have your ass handed to you if you're unwary. Seriously; be cautious. |
In the first game, my bro and I only beat the big guy (what was his name? We called him Orange Lazarus) with him manning the mouse and me keeping my fingers on the number keys to feed him potions. That was some serious sibling bondage we engaged in. |

Diablo is a ferocious hell beast. Seriously, it was incredibly hard to kill him. We have lag problems because of the graphics and we're playing over a network. I'm not saying that we're DOING this mind you, but if you install the full install with a cracked registration code and a hack which allows it, you can play with one cd in a multi-computer home network. About the secret level: make sure by the time you do it that you've got one of them schmancy four tiered belts and you have it brimming with rejuvenation potions (they take effect immediately). Make sure that if you run from your pursuers you run to the town portal. Even if you didn't get Wirt's leg first go round (I didn't) you can snag it easy enough by walking through the teleporter thingy in the rogue camp to Stony Fields. By then you will be so badass that killing Griswold (again) will not raise your heart rate. Wirt was somewhere in the upper left side of the map (towards where the crossover to his little area was in Game I if that helps). Umm. That's all I'll tell you. |
