Garfu posted:Something like Ctrl + F Blade of the fallen angel Yeah the problem with blade of the fallen angel and wings of the fallen phoenix is they suck as actual melee weapons. I think it would be cool to have a series of a couple uniques with different base types and different element typing with a single strong cast on hit effect to encourage specialization in a damage type and have some of the less used weapon types be relevant. With good base damage this time. Mince Pieface fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Nov 15, 2016 |

Is there a guide anywhere to bring a new player up to speed? I've never done this and it's a little overwhelming but always heard Goons praising it.

Is the old "Chill in a game for 15 minutes, drop your poo poo, leave, and come back with your other character" trick the only way to transfer gear without another person?

We're moving hosts again, this time to a hopefully more stable and better pinging host for everyone. It's in Chicago. Stand by if you're unable to connect/play, shouldn't be too long from this post. Also drop by the Discord for more up to date info

I haven't run the numbers on the exact damage you'd get out of something like this, just spitballing here, but something like this might be fun. Or really dumb. Dying Sun (Cryptic Axe) Ethereal Indestructible 700% Enhanced Damage -20% Enemy Fire Resistance Adds 5/lvl max fire damage 100% Ctc level 40 Immolation on kill +1 Enchant oskill Sliver of the True Death (Legend Spike) Ethereal Indestructible 900% Enhanced Damage +2/lvl max damage -50% enemy poison resist 50% ctc level 30 Poison Nova on striking Sparkfist (War Fist) Ethereal Indestructible 900% Enhanced Damage 50% increased movement speed 10/lvl max lightning damage 50% increased lightning damage 50% ctc level 30 Chain Lightning on striking Hammer of God (Legendary Mallet) Ethereal Indestructible 900% Enhanced damage +2 min damage/lvl 100% increased Magic Damage Adds 250-500 Magic Damage 50% Ctc level 30 Blessed Hammer on Striking +4% Max all Resistances and probably broken, but Obliteration (Thresher) Ethereal Indestructible 900% Enhanced damage +2 min damage/lvl -20% Enemy physical resist -20% enemy fire resist 100% ctc level 20 Corpse Explosion on kill

Those look fun, but the problem is they have to compete (maybe in other areas) with double dstoned runewords that cap at 1800% ED

Although actually maybe its okay, I mean Heavy Metal is capable of doing pretty much any boss already, although the speed is a little slow, the main issue is you can't farm big areas fast. The big thing I don't know is if the damage from the cast spells would actually help with killing trash mobs significantly. Mince Pieface fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Nov 15, 2016 |

I remember playing this last time and writing a lovely followbot that worked a third of the time. If the plugin pack contains the packet sniffer, maybe I will write it again  Anyone who's never played it really should. It's got the D2 core mechanics but everything else is turned on its head. For example, my best character for clearing was a Vengeance Paladin whose auras just slowrolled the entire screen.

Does this mod require DirectX to run? I still need to fiddle with it, but can only play D2 in DirectDraw mode at the moment and want to see if anyone knows before I go through the effort.

I'm not sure... but the install is super simple compared to previous versions. It's 2 zips, one that you overwrite with the other. No installs

Just started a playthrough of this with my girlfriend who's a much bigger diablo fan than me, I only vaguely remember failing to get D2 to run then finally getting it to and getting owned as a druid. Now I'm a druid again and I have more birbs and dogges than young-me could have imagined!

DM me this stuff on Discord or create a thread on the GR forums so we don't lose it. We're going to do a necro balance pass first and then work on Melee. edit: Obliteration looks sweet. a CtC corpse explosion weapon would be perfect for endgame melee

For summoner necros/druids, is it possible to just buff the base summon damage? Some cool new items would be nice too, but the balance issues start from level 1 with summoners.

So what exactly is this? Did you goons further mod Eastern Sun, or is this the same ES one would find on whatever the official website is? It's been years since I played ES, probably not since like 1.10 but I thought things were... More different. I got a Sorceress to 10 last night and was surprised at how similar the skill tree is to regular D2. Loaded up a Paladin and same thing. Yea there's obviously new abilities / modifications to old abilities. I dunno, I just remembered it being quite different. But I might just be mixing it up with all the other mods I spent countless hours playing.

You might be thinking of MedianXL, it completely changed every skill dramatically, had ultimate and gameplay-unlocked skills. Also had ridiculously complex boss fights.

ES is more like a content injection than a complete overhaul. But we're talking like 5x more content and many new features/modules like crafting and it's 3 sub-features, and the 17 new areas. edit: and then yes, I've created patches to add items and improve QoL over the course of the game as well as bring other builds into balance with the powerhouses.

If anyone's looking for a good first character that can solo through the entire game without specific gear I always found Fist paladin to be a good choice. The synergies on FotH scale it well into the higher levels and you don't have to deal with immunities really, IIRC. I forget the exact details. Or, y'know, just play with other people.Garfu posted:It was a Jeweled Edge (Crystal Sword) that ticked a fire-ish aura 3 times a second or something like that. Over a very large area for a large amount of damage. Also the natural class synergies on Holy Fire affected the equipped aura of Radiance as long as you didn't put any hard points into Holy Fire itself, I think it was. Radiance itself had a custom aura entry in the spell table with a different name, but it was copied directly from the Holy Fire entry so it synergized, I think? I seem to remember building a goldfind character around it and teleporting around the Dead End on Hell, instantly zapping everything within maphack range even on players 8, while not actually doing anything other than picking up gold. Gonna (barely) resist the urge to play this time around but thanks for keeping the dream alive.
