I actually bought Diablo II and Lord of Destruction exp.pack a while ago, but haven't got round to playing it yet.
From reading your comments it sounds like a game that will take a shitload of time to really get anywhere in. :blink: :angry:

Is that the case ?

Well, the game, if playing in Battle-net, is really interesting but needs much time. And yes, now with patch 1.10 it's not that easy anymore to play without really good equipment. So you need to get the best items wherever possible.

OK, thanks.

Do you know of any site or type of FAQ that might a be good for a newbie ?
Have played Diablo 1 a lot but I imagine it's not quite the same ?

leveling in diablo can be gay. Get someone to rush yea through norm, go to the cow level, party, and sit there till you are level 60 in 10 min! LOL. My friend stopped playing Diablo ever since that patch that destroyed all the hacks came out. He had Strength Gloves and a nice Grandfather Sword.

This seems to be an ongoing theme or something.. ? :blink: :bleh: :D

here is my system you make act 1 and 2 then some cow runs till lvl 26 then you find some1 kind enough to rush ( not an easy task) till act 4 + ancients and then you make baalruns till lvl 4~.you repeate the same thing in nightmare and hell altough is difficul to find someone to rush you.Today I killed the ancients in night with some other guys lvl ~50 and now i'm leceling up :ok:

Well..

1. Im dead bored of the game since I've competed it about 1345252 times
2. I don't have internet connection and even If I would, I propably wouldn't play it.
3. I like to play it only on LAN with FRIENDS
4. Im bored

:)

Multiplayer.... Internet?

Even more boring. You see, there is something called LAG which bog the game down... Even on cable... :rolleyes:

Actually, this is the usual system for leveling:
Normal
Lvl 1-11 / 12 - Act 1
Lvl 12-17 - Act 2
Lvl 17-20 - Act 4 through and arrive in act 5
Lvl 20-24 - Cow level, someone with high Level (60-99) has to kill them for very good experience
Lvl 24 - Ancients
Lvl 25 - Baalruns until lvl 45-50, 50 is max
Nightmare
Levels don't matter, play with many in games and go through it
Should be level 55-60, Ancients at level 40 or higher possible
Baalruns until level 75-80
Hell is pretty clear then, Ancients from level 60 on possible, then Baalruns.
:ok:

The truth is that the :sniper: LAG is very big.MY friend p2800 256RAM 64 video (separeted)plays it in 640x480 and stioll gets lag on the baalruns :Titan:
