    Great Bow 15%, good Faithbase for A1 merc?

    It's right there in the name, of course it's good - it's great! But even gooder than great is the gooderest, which you can find in the link in the post above.

    It is announced THIS VERY MOMENT! Remake is coming!

    If it's like D3, there's an option to turn them off. It doesn't really bug me much (I play d3 with this information turned on to help with gear optimizations and such, but that's mostly what keeps me playing this type of game) but it is a completely reasonable criticism and comes down to what...

    D2 Video Preferences

    Definitely understand, time is the most precious resource always. If you do want to give it a try at some point, OBS does have a mac version. Something like what I had there is just setting up a scene with the different sources (I was using a fitted .png for the text though there's many...

    D2 Video Preferences

    Bit of a necro but figured I'd chime in to say that filling in the space with useful information for the viewer will generally help massively. In basically all of my explanation videos I include the gear I'm going over or some things to keep in mind, and generally speaking if I'm showing runs I...

    This forum has 30001 messages already! *celebrate*

    I'm at slightly over .1% of the total. You're welcome, I also am staggered by this amount of interaction. (Thanks to everybody's hard work moving everything over and keeping the community going!)

    Hardest Area

    Very carefully. ;p No, but actually that depends, because I would 100% say that for the vast majority of people the answer to that question is "I don't." Which is fine, because most people don't want to deal with that. If you *do*, then that starts at character planning. With a way to deal...

    Hardest Area

    I certainly wouldn't say there exists an area which represents the hardest challenge for every single character in the game. I would lean more towards looking at the issue of which areas pose the most challenges per class, and even per build. Normal Barbarian builds, for example - and here I...

    Why are u guys playin SC or HC? Immersion of Permadeath!

    I see Diablo 2 as being about acquiring items and doing interesting things with them. When I joined the SPF, one of the things I enjoyed most was reading the HC challenge stories from InsaneWayne, jiansonz and superdave. They made for great reading then and still do now. But after trying it, I...

    Congrats to all the winners, and thanks to Phineas and Albatross for running this thing! As I said all along, I knew from the start Nagisa would win this thing, that's why I never swayed in my support! Hope everyone enjoys their new toys and had a ton of fun in this, one of the SPF's greatest...

    Or, perhaps, I did it to keep you from forgetting about the beasts behind you, so you'd run full force til the finish, hmmm? ;) *taps head* It's also possible that both the point you made and the point I made are true. I'm allowed to be a complex man! ;p "I want to work hard and show good...

    That's still a really nice laptop. For gaming, in my opinion, so much comes down to the screen and 240Hz on an IPS display is great. If you're in the market for a gaming laptop right now, though, you pretty much want to start your search with the Zephyrus G14 and see what it doesn't cover for...

    MFO Summer 2020 Signups and Running Thread

    I think the shame would be if grip was in, cause this seems like a nice competitive event and I'd hate for everyone in the category to be in 11th place behind the one true d2 god. Flawless. I think that deserves some significant upgrades.

    I'd just like to point out that this advice is available for purchase. It's also available for free, but payments are absolutely accepted. Looking at the rankings so far, I can't help but feel bad for the coat. He tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it frozzzen even matter...

    If I may, running Diablo when you signed up for a85 might be your problem. No, it's okay, you don't have to thank me, I'll just take credit for your victory and we can call it even. On a related note, I'm now firmly on team TheReadMenace. My support is subject to change based on final placement...

    Unless you're building in a mini-itx form factor or smaller, cable management makes zero actual difference. As for airflow, unless you buy the cheapest case on the market, fill it with every part possible and plug all the intakes, you won't have a problem. If you want to assemble your own...

    I accept this victory partly to honor the tradition of the MFO, but mostly because I absolutely deserve it. I will celebrate this win as any sorceress playing champion should: with lots and lots of ketchup.

    This, ladies and gentlemen, this is the complaining that wins MFOs, shown off by a true master. Heed these words and learn! Look at how the frozprince points out how impossibly oppressive the opposition is, then how much effort he has put in to no avail. We feel for the poor coat as we, too...

    I thought it was froz that was gonna crush everybody with 100+ hours? If I didn't know better I'd think this was an example of grip, trolling, what a surprise... @ResTTe and @Friiser: good, good, the spirit of grip lives within you both! I dunno, remember the wisdom of the frozprince, "when...
