What level is your Paladin then? I'm assuming decent enough to rush me through NM

CTA = Call To Arms?

He is level 92. Non ladder USWest. Yea it is Call To Arms, its a very low one, but still.

Bah, USWest? You're European laddie

I tried to play on the Euro servers but i kept getting games with non english speaking people. So i thought the US servers would be best

True, I do get a lot of games with germans and frenchies. I just ignore them though. I'm finding it hard to get the games that I want, I can't find anyone willing to rush my NM pala or my normal sorc. It's annoying

Are you offering rushers your forge for the rush? Most people dont do it for free unless you get someone on a good day (rare in D2

)

Just to get to Baal really, don't care about forge. Had a guy rush my Paladin no problem, joined in an act 3 game and he just took me all the way to the end

Hedge · 5 Jul 2008 at 19:40

i would happily rush you if i could download LoD somewhere fast!.

got a cd key to use thanks to a mates spare. but cant get the flaming blizzard account to verify

Diablo II is the main game, and there's only 1 expansion, Lord of Destruction. Adds a new "level", new items and new classes. You can't join expansion games if you just have the standard game, so you really should grab both if you are going to give it a go.

Have you tried a creating a free email account on gmail or something, email verification worked fine for me.

Delvis · 6 Jul 2008 at 14:38

You guys are making me want to buy the game!

but its probably better for me to buy the first one and play that before the second

I never played the first game. There's not much of a plot really..

Shamikebab · 6 Jul 2008 at 15:08

I never played the first, its not necessary at all. Watching videos the gameplay looks very very dated. I'd just start with 2.

Beepcake · 6 Jul 2008 at 15:11

The plot:

Diablo:
Chin things, chin some more, kill Diablo, stick a stone in your head.

DiabloII+xp:
Chin things, chin some more, get annoyed with Deckard flippin Cain's constant drivel, chin some more, kill Diablo, chin some more, kill Baal.

DiabloIII:
Not sure about this one, but i'd hazard a guess it's going to involve chinning things.

Have they ditched hardcode mode now by the way? Don't recall seeing it as an option.
