I'll definitely be joining in. Again, I'd prefer to play HC, and I'm not going to have much time to MP myself (I'm either in work or at school from 7am-8pm 3 out of 5 of the work days, and the other two I'm done at 5:30pm), but I'll only play HC if I know that people will be willing to risk their characters to lag for the enjoyment of interaction.

Seems like the interest in vanilla is huge compared to FAM so switch my status to vanilla HC. Have no problem with starting before the final 1.13 since it seems to be awhile before it arrives
 
Re: Any interest in a 1.13 ladder?

At this rate, it will be only me and you on our own little ladder, kompis ;)
Looks as if the ladder will indeed begin in mid 2010 and will be HC, so I will simply see it as a tournament instead of the fresh start I was hoping for, and play on in 1.13beta SC. When the times come, you guys know where to find the Vegameister =)
 
Re: Any interest in a 1.13 ladder?

I'm rather convinced that the 1.13 final release will be out within a month, a month and a half tops. But yeah, that's still a long time to wait if you have a lot of time available right now ;)
 
Re: Any interest in a 1.13 ladder?

giving blizz alot more credit than they deserve, Corrupted ;)
I'd much rather get a GREAT new patch in mid-late 2010 than a so-so patch in a month. Then again, when "content" is defines as a new quest reward, I ain't got my hopes up too much:crazyeyes:

I really wish this estimation would have been correct :(. I'm starting to get a slight D2 itch, but I've vowed to wait until 1.13 goes final and this ladder starts.

EDIT:
I've decided to change my category. I'm going to do what I consider the most fun for a ladder, which is SC and FAM. I'll leave HC to my personal play and challenge, I think. I also re-ordered the table in a rough Vanilla/FAM HC/SC setup. I guess if there really, really isn't any interest in FAM SC play, I can force myself into the Vanilla section, but I'm very unlikely to be swayed back to HC.

[BLUE="http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23766799033&sid=3000"]We will be resetting the Diablo II ladder on March 23 with the release of patch 1.13. We anticipate all Diablo II realms to be down for approximately six hours during the reset. More specific information on realm availability on the day of the reset will be posted in the Battle.net Status forum. When the ladder is reset, all existing ladder characters will be converted to non-ladder. All characters and items being converted to non-ladder will remain intact, but once converted these characters will no longer have access to ladder content such as creating ladder-only rune words. For more information on ladder characters please visit the Arreat Summit Realm Character Types page at http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/basics/charactertypes.shtml[/BLUE]

So... I'm swamped with work right now and I'm not playing d2. So if anyone would like to pick this up, please feel free to do so. I'd probably join in later.



 
Re: Any interest in a 1.13 ladder?

Well, I just got "mutually retired" from work, so I've got plenty of time and plenty of ideas for this (including a small website, automated sigs, etc). I'll work on putting together another thread for "actual" signups and copy the current signups over tonight.
 
Re: Any interest in a 1.13 ladder?

IF the ladder only runewords are not made available for SP and IF the runedrops aren't nerfed from the beta and IF there'll be a RWM available for the final 1.13, then there's a good chance I'll switch to FAM for my ladder play.

I'm almost (like 99%) certain I'll be going SC too.
 
Re: Any interest in a 1.13 ladder?

Likewise... I'll most likely go SC for this, and will probably end up going FAM (even though I would prefer vanilla - Blizzard, just enable the ladder RWs in SP, damn you).

Too much chance of finding the runes to make some decent ladder runewords these days.

I'm just struggling with time at the moment, so I'll be low down on the ladder, most likely. Assuming I actually get started, that is!

jjscud will be able to better explain, but it goes something like this: When there's an indestructible mod from a runeword, the durability of the item is overwritten to indestructible if you move the item around in ATMA (or between characters). So, when you unsocket the runes using the cube recipes, the item retains its durability as "indestructible". For magic mods, such as "of the Ages", this doesn't happen.

See this thread: http://www.purediablo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=691714. Especially jjscud's posts. The main problem is that ATMA is re-writing Indestructible items so that instead of having the Indestructible property, all items are re-written with Indestructible durability. This likely went un-noticed because of the crazy cost (Zod) to do this in the past, but now we have relatively cheap runewords (Oath+Death) that add the Indestructible feature, meaning the abuse is much easier.

If you fixed this, it would be absolutely amazing, as I think it's the largest, stinkiest cheese we have on here, and I think nothing short of an official patch will have any chance of changing the current use. Though, even if it is patched, there could be an uproar.

Edit: Pwnd by DC


 
Re: Any interest in a 1.13 ladder?

I agree 100% with mattinm, and I know there are more people who agree. I hate the fact that using this bug is allowed here (after jjscud discovered it, of course - the items made previously should remain) and if you were to fix this bug in ATMA it would be a sort of official way of recognizing that it shouldn't be used.

Say hi in the D2 forum at GO as well, won't you? :)

Not much else to say really, here's the original conversation.

When ATMA writes an item with an indestructible mod it overwrite the durability (to 0 iirc). GoMule or probably hero will show the original durability even when the item has the indestructible mod.

edit: way to slow this time around. (actually that's normal I guess)
