Got to act 4 in diablo 2 1.06b and now i don't know what to do cause im level 23 and it seems im stuck having to kill stuff in durance of hate until i get higher level, in hindsight i fear leveling only chargebolt up was a bad idea.

Well-baked, thanks.
I was going to use the pic Nimosh anon made for the next thread but I won't complain about somebody else baking for once. I guess we can just use it next time.

>>12136128
i didn't read the pastebin before making so forgot to rename the image, my bad.

i'll let someone else make next time didn't realize there was so much that went into making a new thread, just figured no one else was making it. Lesson learned.

https://pastebin.com/4Zk6fScz

new pastebin as pastebin says to do sorry that I fucked up the OP.

>>12136130
>>12136135
All good, better a slightly imperfect thread than no thread at all. You did it correctly other than updating the pastebin and changing the image name.

>>12136151
I just been enjoying sharing my progress with 1.06b and not having a thread to share my progress was making me sad. I really enjoy this thread and trying to help by keeping the threads alive.

>>12136154
Good man. I try to bake as soon as possible but sometimes life gets in the way. No complaints here, keep it up.

Long shot, but does anyone know of a good modern equivalent to Ghost++ that'd work for a v1.30 War3 Linux Hostbot? Ghost++ doesn't compile on modern Linux and all of its forks seem to also be too far out of date.

>>12136461
What class/build?

>>12136617
sorc/charge bolt but uh my time with this is done, i fucked up trying to edit my save with hero editor and it reset everything, oh well lesson learned. I think imma do a 1.09D playthrough, feels like thats the best patch out of all the patches but im waiting til I get my CRT before I do that.

try a HC playthrough nexrlt, that's always fun to see unravel in real time

Meanwhile I meticulously went through 8+ scattered entries to just make an okayish leaf base instead of fishing Drognan for a goddamn hour.

>>12136870
I'll note that I didn't use Hero Editor but https://dschu012.github.io/d2s/ which just throws up the raw data structure of the save for you to edit. Hero Editor seemed kinda retarded about selecting sub-properties, just giving a blank dropdown.

>>12136879
yea but this only works for 1.10 also yea i realize i shoulda did a backup but i forgot.

I wanna suck Thrall's big green cock

ok im not gonna fuck around this time imma stick with charged bolt, even though i feel like its gonna take forever to level with

thank you guys for reminding me that hero editor actually provides a backup.

Diablo 2 in and of itself is essentially a very obtuse slot machine: I’d recommend PD2 or PoD over D2R. It’s only saving grace is the graphical overhaul. Otherwise it’s a strictly inferior way to experience Diablo 2 in 2025.

But yes, it’s an extremely addictive game to the point of it being legitimately unhealthy. As much as I cannot deny I enjoy losing myself in it, I know for a fact that I have reached the point where I am playing the game out of obsessive compulsion rather than out of genuine pleasure.

>>12136870
how do you even enjoy the game at this point

good point. next playthrough i'm going totally vanilla but editing my character to have 10k health and an amulet with level 100 holy fire aura, just so i don't have to deal with all that clicking stuff.

So you just want to say retarded shit and that post didn't actually have anything to do with it. Cool. Enjoy your shit.

>>12137765
you good bro?

>>12137181
my issue with PD2 and PoD are the massive item overhaul that comes with it and the needing to read a fucking guide to understand wtf is going on with half of the shit. I play games to relax, not obssess over too much bullshit, also just don't use gheed if you are that OCD about it? I go to gheed maybe once a game.

>>12137181
I gotta find better gear so I can find better gear! Once it hits that point I'm out. I prefer to just Ironman Diablo 1....makes the drops really sing.

>okayish leaf base
>OH GAWD OVERPOWERED CHEAT ITEMS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SAVE ME NIGGERMAN
I also have the drop rates turned up by a factor of about 5 so my sharing characters can actually get all the items they want in the space of leveling them. I'm still going to play the RPG and the skinner box both for hundreds of hours. Deal with it.

I will say this, I wish diablo 2 had the same kind of loot thing that diablo 3 has to where items drop for your specific class rather then getting a fucking bow and you can't trade it cause well singleplayer.

>>12138358
Personally I have a second account on my PC with fast user switching enabled and I just leave a TC/IP game running all the time so I can join it and transfer stuff between characters. Keep in mind that it will refresh the world layout in your singleplayer game however (which can also be useful)

>>12138365
how do you do that?

>>12138398
1. Make a second account on the PC
2. Enable fast user switching using local group policy editor, you can find instructions here: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/95383-enable-disable-fast-user-switching-windows-10-a.html
3. Install D2 on your new account
4. Start game, make a character, host a TC/IP server
5. Leave it running, minimize the game and switch accounts to your main account
6. You can now join that game with your real characters at any time
Presto, you now have your own little permanent server running and you can mule to your heart's content.

>>12138439
can I do this with a 2nd computer if i'm on the same network? Would make use of my surface pro 5

>>12138450
i answered my own question, now if only i could do this on linux as well but thats too much work imo

>>12138545
ok i see why its better to just do it with switch user.

>start playing lost vikings 2 after hearing about it through these threads
>a few days later, my wife randomly decides that she wants to leave me after 13 years old marriage

Well bros, I'm not a superstitious sort, but I'm gonna have to say the game is cursed.

>>12138681
definitly isn't because you are ignoring her to play a game, nah that couldn't be it.

>>12136114
So this Warcraft 3 you have in pastebin, it offered me to install the W3 Remastered. Does that actually work with the keys provided, can Blizz tell the difference? Can it be played regularly online as multiplayer once it's updated?

>>12136121
Maybe you're underleveled or have poor gear? Leveling up in a single direction usually isn't that bad of an idea.

>>12136154
I love 1.06b but I still prefer 1.14d due to how frantic it is. I dislike runewords because they're so overpowered. It wasn't a bad idea introducing them while people were still figuring them out I guess. Synergies are the biggest gripe I have about expansion content.

Also the Assassin doesn't fit into the universe at all.

Anyone got any tips on Diablo 1 run? Is there a mandatory mod that does not change the gameplay too much or do you just go for vanilla + Hellfire?

I did not play D1 since 1997

How's that Hell mod? Gimmicky or actually good?

I just want to add that Tower of Kalemonvo is worth playing and I hope the guy isn't mostly finished with it. If he's only starting it will be a spiritual successor to D1 much like Underrail was for Fallout.

so for the people playing diablo 2 i found something that will make life so much easier then needing to switch profiles

I have no idea what other mods to try other than 1.06b and 1.14d or why
Last thread I linked a guy from rpgcodex's setup that gives you both of those with cactus already set up + nice crt filter

>>12138769
yea that was where i got the that link from, he said to go to phrozenkeep and find the dll that allows multiple instances to be open.

also update, since i can now have multiple instances up at once i did this

my level 1 barb is so OP now lmfao

>>12138794
btw this is not a hacked item, this was a staff i found off a rare in arcane sanctuary, 1.06b is just built different.

>>12136114
Has the infamous Orcs In Space early build of the original Starcraft that was lambasted when shown at E3 ever leaked?

>>12138794
So what's the deal with this? You can have access to shared stash no matter where you are in other games / patches?

>>12138805
no you just host a game with 1 client and then join that game with your ip address on other characters and with this >>12138753
it makes it easier to just open a new client rather then having to keep switching profile accounts and having multiple copys of D2 wasting space.

>>12138808
Aha ok but how did you get that staff on lvl 1 Barb?

>>12138832
i got it on my sorc at level 14 and its just been collecting dust in my stash since i got a sigons shield til today when I gave it to my barb.

>>12138843
Ah ok, well whatever feels fun. I'm too lazy to install some infinite respec patch that I had on the previous 1.14b version that came with increased res (though D2 should be played at 800x600 at most in my opinion)

>>12138724
I'm not sure anon, most people use an earlier patch I think.

>>12138857
as much as i would wanna respec im having fun with 1.06b specially now that i know i can have at least 4 players in 1 game with ease.

DevilutionX v1.5.5 released:
https://github.com/diasurgical/DevilutionX/releases/tag/1.5.5

>>12138802
No and it probably never will, it is essentially just a reskin of WC2, it was supposed to be a stop gap title with a 1 year dev time originally. The mockery it got in addition to how floored Blizzard was by Ion Storm's RTS Dominion Storm that was showcasing in the booth next to them at that E3 is what motivated them to make it a AAA from scratch title.

Just uploaded a review of both the lost Vikings on YouTube. If anyone is willing to watch it. It's the video I said I was doing in the old thread, i hope people likes it.
I have issues with audio, my voice is bad and loud, and i cant edit it properly, still learning about this making youtube videos

for audio just find a decent audio mastering / how to set a preset tutorial on youtube, it's simple

Id rather let you search it lol
Its in portuguese, but you can use subtitles.
Its literally the last video made about the lost vikings

Im making lots of videos about old games and childhood ones, not caring about money, just for the love of games.

Thanks, i learnt lots of stuff from him, but i changed to davinci resolve cause its free

>>12140743
I guess the difference is really small, I used Sony Vegas before and it's basically the same thing.

>>12138740
1. DevilutionX is worth using as you can enable "all-quests" and has multiplayer support. Hellfire is an optional toggle, but Hellfire's content is just so bad.

2. Belzebub if you want "chocolate" Diablo. All quests, plus restored quests so there's a lot more content for a single playthrough. Balancing is bad though and it is more like DIablo 2 loot treadmill.

3. The Hell. Mordor is some weird spergy slav. Really bizarre mod that I've never really liked.

>>12140763
Thanks
Never played Hellfire

PD2 is amazing, lots of QOL improvements and end game content (additional ubers, multiple tiers of maps, enhanced crafting and itemization with slamming that can add rare stats or brick the item)

Season 12 is gonna start soon, a good time to get into it, usually i get super addicted at the beginning of a season then taper off 3-4 weeks in, this is just the right amount of healthy addiction since it's only twice a year

i think the graphics are better than D2R

>>12138740
>Anyone got any tips on Diablo 1 run? Is there a mandatory mod that does not change the gameplay too much or do you just go for vanilla + Hellfire?
DevilutionX is superb, it allows a number of optional features, such as widescreen, higher resolutions, doing your own binds, and as mentioned, singleplayer quests in multiplayer.
If you were one of those people who played Diablo on PSX back in the day, DevX allows you to play it with gamepad controls, even.

For Hellfire, it offers some added fun, but in my opinion that's mostly with the new items and classes, the new dungeons are kinda mediocre. Nonetheless, DevilutionX fixes Hellfire's problems and also allows playing it multiplayer.

>How's that Hell mod? Gimmicky or actually good?
Genuinely good, but also very hard.

>>12141616
I suppose Hell 4 should be played?

>>12141623
I couldn't tell you personally, I only ever played the first The Hell back when it was still pretty new. Judging from that though, and the continued reputation, it's probably going to be good, just be sure to be gud.

>>12141630
Thanks
I think you could like Tower of Kalemonvo if you did not try it yet

hows diablo 1 multiplayer? never tried it

It's Diablo 1, but multiplayer. Almost all quests were absent in the release version, so it's slightly dry on that point, but Diablo 1's quests aren't exactly all that complex either. You go deeper and deeper in the dungeon, you kill, you loot, you go back up to refresh, then go back down and go deeper.

It functioned, historically, but there were quite a few problems with potential desyncs due to a lot of things being handled client side, which absolutely fucking shouldn't (like blocking and hit stun). As player characters were also handled client side, this means that cheating was absolutely rampant pretty much from the beginning.
It also was all ran from a single desktop PC for the majority of its lifespan.
Mods and ports like The Hell, Belzebub and DevilutionX are not quite as cheatable in all ways (though certainly not impossible), but most of them fix the desync problems. Or, at least DevX does, I'm assuming Mordor would have fixed it in The Hell given how savvy he is about the original game and how long he's been making his mod series.

DevilutionX largely keeps things on the more vanilla side, and I greatly appreciate being able to have full quests in multiplayer, as well as Hellfire's new items, spells, and its Barbarian class (the latter which they actually allow even without the expansion, as he uses the Warrior as a base).

One of my big gripes with Hellfire is that since you can learn Apocalypse as a spell, they nerf it so that it no longer strikes enemies not in your line of sight (like behind walls).
They could have just done that for the spell version, because this really kills the utility of the staves and scrolls, and on Nightmare and Hell Difficulty, that kinda fucking hurts, especially with Hellfire rolling out the triple immune Arch Cunts in the Crypt. Yeah, you can still actually hit them with Apocalypse because it can't be resisted, but those cunts on Hell are sheer misery when THEY have a line of sight on YOU.

>>12141514
i hear but i'm gonna push back on this criticism because the LoD content is exactly the same except with QOL improvements, so if you like LoD there is no reason to pick OG over PD2 (especially the skill balancing that's still missing in LoD)

>>12142787
LoD content does not have as much shit as PD2 wtf are you talking about? When I played PD2 I just felt so overwhelmed. When I play LoD all I have to worry about is finding items and looking up runewords ocasionally, meanwhile PD2 literally has so much bullshit that you need to save so much shit in your stash box on top of everything else, i'm sorry but i'm not autistic enough for PD2.
