Re: The Questions Thread

I'm really bad with necros so I can't give any advice, but I have a question:

What is TPPK? I know it stands for "Town Portal Player Kill" or something like that but how can u do this since when you hostile your portal will close.

Also how come every time a PK joins the game and hostiles everyone I can't use someone else's TP?
I click on it and nothing happens, so I have to make a TP of my own to go to town.
 
Re: The Questions Thread

I've just found out about beta cta's and that they need to be made in 1.10s. I opened my copy of trenshadow's version switcher and it has a 1.10 version, how do I make it 1.10s?
 
Re: The Questions Thread

@Alecz: I'll pass, one of the reasons I play SP is to avoid PKing

@Road Ratt: You need certain files from 1.10s in the version switch folder, I think you need to install a complete 1.10s and then copy the files over

My question:

I have the following:

5os eBA from 1.11
5os eBA from 1.07

In your opinion, is there any advantage, for a grief runeword, of the extra max damage from the 1.07 version
EDIT:
@jae: hmm, I'll roll the 1.07 death, if the roll is good it'll stay, if not it'll become grief
and yes I know all about ow BA dura, my DC frenzybarb hated the low durability

Re: The Questions Thread

I choose to make my grief in a zerker for the extra range it has over a phaseblade. Made my first in a non-etherial zerker. I hated how fast it broke. Made the second one in a indestructibugged 1.07 one. I don't think the extra damage really matters much, bt if you make a grief, you better use a good base item.
 
Re: The Questions Thread

A quick question: I'm building a pure blizz sorc and she currently level 67. Is it worth maxing cold mastery? I've always had this feeling about it that it isn't as great as it's description sounds. It would take until level 89 to max all the synergies to blizzard and cold mastery, but if it isn't as useful as it sounds, I could likely use those other skill points somewhere else useful.
 
Re: The Questions Thread

I think the general consensus is: it depends what she'll be running, Meph has high CR iirc, so you want a high CM level. The ancient tunnels however have no CIs naturally, so CM can be lower, ditto for pindleskin (citation needed)

Use the arreat summit to find the CR of the monsters, and plan from there. Personally about -100CR is fine, then focus on boosting blizzard itself


My question:
The death in a 1.07 eBA rolled 330 (range 300-385) would you reroll it into a grief if you had the runes

funny answer: No, because BA looks so darn ugly that I'd toss that weapon to Charsi.

serious answer: If you're hf-rusher, yes. If not, nope.



 
Re: The Questions Thread

I have a technical problem here:

sometimes, all of a sudden, the game freezes and an error message appears:

Diablo II Error
Location:,Line #422
Expression: Unrecoverable internal error 056d2ce3

After that I press the "OK" button and the game shuts down. I play D2 + LoD v 1.11b RWM, full screen on an overpowered machine (overpowered for the game, at least). It just could be chance, but I think I always incurred in the error playing with one of my assassins.

Any ideas? :scratchchin:

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game? That sometimes fixes strange errors. However, I'd wait and see if anyone else has any insight on this. It'd be annoying to go through all that effort for no reason.


 
Re: The Questions Thread

I had a similar error, are you MPing, and while MPing changing acts without a CD in the drive, I found that was my main problem, annoying whining drive > no D2

Also I did reinstall as well

It's a fairly common problem. I think it is triggered by a bug with CoS, at least that's what I read somewhere. I dealt with it by using the skill sparingly and save and exiting everytime I made serious progress.

I wouldn't bother reinstalling, I doubt it will make any difference.

Are you serious? :surprise2:

Never read 'bout it, but now it makes sense that it happens only with my assassins...

Thank you very much, you've saved me from a pointless reinstalling :nod:

A quick search yields quite a few results, here is one such example, I knew I wasn't making it up! :)



 
Re: The Questions Thread

I've heard that if you use CoS in areas with immobile monsters (Trapped Souls in Act IV, Foul Crow Nests in Act I, Evil Demon Huts in Act V) that the game will crash.

EDIT in response to zarirazz below: Perhaps the still ancients also count as immobile monsters. I don't feel like this is the case though, since their names appear near the mouse pointer rather than at the top of the screen, so perhaps they are a type of stash, like a Dead Rogue.

not sure about the immobile monsters, but for sure i know you shouldn't cast it on the arreat summit. experienced the crash myself as well =P
 
Re: The Questions Thread

What damage does the Vengeance skill multiply? Is it just the base weapon damage, the weapon damage + mods on the weapon itself, or total physical damage output?

total weapon damage + damage from gear/charms.

do note that +XX damage items like grief/redeemer/stonecrusher is not applicable.



 
Re: The Questions Thread

first thing, use edit button. second, you can move your sp chars from comp to other comp. Look in your D2 folder, there's sub folder "Save" which contains your characters as .d2s files.

edit.

below. Yes, you can save the files on flash drive, to your email, anywhere. They are like normal files on your computer.
