I don't think I could do vanilla D2 on B.net again, but if anyones up for it, the new Midian mod looks really neat. Could play off B.net using Hamachi or something, and it might work on open.
My D2 discs are locked away, hidden behind an archway of old that connects this realm to the Nether. It requires the blood of a virgin female, spilled exactly as she ages 26 years 3 days and 22 seconds from her birth in order for you to even SEE them.
The ominous clicking will never again rattle the walls of my eardrum. I am free.
D2 ate my life... until I finished it on normal mode. I want D3, with a less clumsy inventory, and a better trash-to-useful item ratio, and the ability to fucking respec a character.
Oh, who am I kidding, I just want D3 period, I'd still play it if it were D2 with high resolution graphics.

Am I the only one who got tired of MFing just to make some overpowered character that just powers through the game in a single day?
Hardcore is where it's at. Trying to make weird builds and only using stuff you find along the way is the most challenging way to play. No trading either, unless you're playing through with some buddies under the same conditions. I don't think anyone can say they've beaten D2 until they've done that. Is there anyone else who does this? I might play again when school ends in a week.
I wouldn't mind playing this game again here and there but the fact that the resolution is all sorts of fucked up on this computer means I get annoyed to shit having to guess what my health is at.

Play it in a window. Problem solved.
I've actually been playing for the last week or so on the US West HC Ladder. I have a 73 necromancer. Good times.
I lost three years of my life to this game... F-ing Windforce. F it. F it all the way to H. And you too Mephisto. F you. In fact, F every single monster, unique or no, within this game.
I am free now. But for how long? Will it be mere minutes before another game ensnares me to do its Magic Find related bidding? How long will I be a mindless thrall to it? Will I ever break free of this cycle? Who knows.
I cling to the memory of the memory of the days when I had a soul... The days before diablo II.

I love playing like this. I also make sure to clear everything (as in every side-cave, every corner of the map, etc), and keep the game on /players 8 (I play mostly SP). My favourite build for this by far is a Conc barb. Invincible tank that can wade into anything and come out without a scratch. In a pinch, I drop a grim ward and laugh.
Shit... Now I have to play it agian after my Shadow Priest hits level 70 in WoW (600,000 experience to go!).
How are some of you already playing Mythos? Did you get into the Beta? I can't wait for it to come out. I totally agree that Mythos will be more successful than Hellgate.

I lent my game CDs to a friend who is known for not returning things just so I could break my addiction to this game. That must have been three years ago.
Just how long do characters get saved for?

God, you bastards are making me want to play again. I'd only be interested in the "silly hardcore builds, no trading" style, though, and I've honestly run out of build ideas after 2 years of D2. The only "weird" build I really enjoyed were throwbarbs with tons and tons of +damage charms and stacks and stacks of disposable weapons.
Who knows, maybe I'll try out a Berserk/Howl build.

One of my favourite builds of all times is the Mageazon. They were especially awesome back in the cow level days. Every cow being frozen and amp'd is a treat for melee characters, let me tell you. (Basic build I was using: 2 sojs, frostburn, crafted +2 skills amulet, whichever +1 armour I could find, as many +cold damage small charms as possible to keep cold duration high. Str and dex to meet requirements for bow and armour, then everything else into energy and vit. All points max immo, max frozen arrow, max pierce, good decent level valk. Use valk to group enemies, then hit them all with FA, then hit them with immo once and spam exploding arrow or FA while immo cools down.) It'd probably take some fixing to work in the current version, but I think it would be fun to play. The characters has really good resistances, decent HP, good crowd control. The only real problem is energy management, but I think that's a lot better now that some bow skills can leech and Witchwild can be upgraded to do more damage.
You might try a Fendazon. They're not really viable past the beginning of Hell, but they were a lot of fun before that.
Last time I was tricked into playing D2 again was maybe 6 or 7 months ago and I really wanted to go fend, but decided against it. My friend and I had been leaning toward a melee javazon since I noticed the success my last Fendazon had with her jav secondary (LF DIAF), so I tried to go with that. Problem is, I still needed something for PIs. Instead of going the LS/CS route (I still don't trust the lighting skills) I went poison javs. Wow. Spectacular success: by the end of Nightmare I had amazing gear (almost perfect Titan's, Trang's gloves, etc.) and was hitting 12-15k poison javs. Nothing lasted more than 3 seconds, and the clouds covered more of the screen.
Did not work in Hell. At all. I quit again and haven't looked back since. Spearazons have been fucked over so hard for so long it just makes me sad.

Unless they release a new patch or something.

But D2 is still the game I've played for the most hours.
I want D3.
New ladder/patch in July.

Oh and hammerdins are so cheesy.
Diablo 2 was fun, but I actually preferred Sacred.
Sacred was good times. Unfortunately, my install disc had a rather nasty crack in it for no good reason.

NH03, you know that's impossible.
And yes, the only way to play anymore is hardcore.
Yeah if you play SP. But if you want to play with people HC has some issues.

Do they still make you play through the game on boring normal mode to unlock hardcore?
