I have my ports forwarded, made a TCP/IP game, and DM'd Manny my IP address. Main thing to be careful of is keeping the traded item in your inventory if you flip between PlugY and no PlugY. Don't put the item in your stash yet, keep it in your character's inventory until you re-enable PlugY.

Slaine the Sorceress finds that her Necromancer came back as a lich.

Sure I can part with the Warcry lifer. Sent you a DM.

Sure I can be around then. I might be playing with a friend around that time. Give me an idea of what you want because I'll have Shared Stash disabled for online play.

Looking to complete my Trang-oul set, but I notice I don't have Trang-oul's Girth.

Already doing this without Singling. Also tried without PlugY. Also no Windows (using Wine).

Is it just me or does the game fail to create a Sorceress (and possibly Necromancer) character if the -act5 parameter is passed to the game? Steps: 1. In Cactus, add the '-act5' as a launch parameter for Diablo II. 2. Go to Single Player 3. Create a new Sorceress. On the loading screen, the...

I had modern RPGs in mind when I mentioned the crafting system. E.G the player disassembles the drops from monsters into "armor scraps", "leather straps", "(monster) claw/fang/part", "divine fragment" and these components are stackable to x999. The player goes to the blacksmith and requests...

Modern gaming doesn't lack virtue. It's generally understood in game design that grinding can pad the game length without meaningful content. It's fair to say that people get games for new stories, characters, and scenarios while the game items are means to an end. A robust crafting system...

Even on the rares and crafts, we see things a lot differently. (RNG as a source of frustration, especially with Diablo II style crafting.) It's been a while since I've played: I think one of the cool things about Median XL was being able to patch up okay-ish rolls into something good with...

It looks like this thread explains the difference between how we perceive RNG and gaming. I enjoy Rune Words specifically because it represents incremental deterministic progress towards a desired game item. Because my highlight of the game was never about the 'dopamine hit' of a drop as it was...

I don't use D2Stats.

The biggest 'gotcha' I had with setting up platforms was the confusion between the `Platform` folder and the current state of Diablo II folder set by Cactus. Other than that, I had BaseMod set up first, then added PlugY.

@BrecMadak I didn't have trouble getting BaseMod and PlugY working together. BaseMod is loaded first, then in BaseMod.ini I have PlugY.dll added like so [ExtraDll3] Enabled=1 LoadDll3="PlugY.dll" (I arbitrarily picked this field. I doubt ExtraDll1 and ExtraDll2 make any difference.)

Sounds good. Let me know which one of us gives first.

I have a bunch of low/mid gear in my PlugY stash to trade for a Gull dagger in either of the older patches. Some of the other stuff I'd offer: Goldwrap The Occulus Kelpie Snare (slows target by 75%, low-mid level equip for mercenaries) Goblin Toe Magefists Frostburn If you ask about a unique...

I regularly collect GCs and reroll them. That's where most of my perfect gems go towards.

A group of friends got Cactus set up and started new saves. We got a barbarian, summon necro, and wind druid. Here's a short clip of us finishing Act 3 on PeerTube (free and open source alt. to YouTube).. https://video.hardlimit.com/w/2KxGNoTd5WtSFEzqKYMNKT (Not sure where in the forums I...

I know this forum isn't for patch 1.13c. But I'll give it a shot. I run a Lightning/Cold Sorceress, and I get Skiller GCs for about every other build except the one I'm using. I have: Fire +28 life Offensive Aura +31 life Combat Skills (bar) +35 life Warcries +38 life Bows +30 life ask me...

I've been using i3wm for a while and already had alt+tab configured. Just out of all windows, it's Diablo II that's fighting / won't switch. I don't think a borderless window config for cnc-ddraw will help. (It's already one of the keybinds in i3.)
