    Etdlahq Memorial Bar - your shelter from forum crashes continued

    Fear not @Drystan , whether or not the new(er) Forum recognizes it, you are indeed 'well-known' :) . And I hope what your contemplating is coming back to D2 ... maybe D2R? If you do decide to do so, I'll be happy to kick your shins and steal your wallet. Until then, have a drink on me.

    Matriarch Das-Omen, UT99er Lightning Sorceress

    Thanks for reading folks :) . And thanks for the question @DaveW . In my experience, the questions and answers in these threads are where things get most interesting! Let's take a look at some of Das-Omen's possible armor choices: (And while we're looking at these, it would be worth knowing...

    Re-introducing Kartongen

    Hey! There's a familiar name :) . Welcome back! *Kicks shins* Also, I don't want to jump the gun, but I think D2R might just be safe for you (maybe). The start of the last ladder season, brought, *drum roll* ... no new changes ... so I think the dust is starting to settle ... (maybe).

    The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread, The Saviours of Sanctuary Rise Anew

    Das-Omen CLVL 98.9 Lightning Sorceress It's the home stretch now! When I last posted here, Das-Omen was at clvl 98.7, and I was taking a break from D2 to see if I could help the tendonitis in my right arm heal. The break lasted five weeks ... and of course, the tendonitis is still there ...

    OT: The Daily Thread

    I'm sorry to hear that arm/wrist/hand problems are going around. In the last seventeen months I've come to know all about that ... I myself tried a bigger mouse, a vertical mouse, a game controller ... nothing helped. In the end, the underlying muscle, tendon, nerve problems, continued to make...

    Anything Goes D2 Lounge!

    Hmm. I'd imagine that your issue was related to this bug that was present at the time: Look! An entrance to the void! ... that sadly couldn't be taken :( ... (Screenshot from March 2, 2022.) This bug was patched soon after ... Also, nice find @maxicek ! I always grab all wps with my...

    New 1.07/1.08 Magic Find Meta?

    ... Testing complete. It worked! o_O Below: The results of one hour of 1.07 champion/unique/super unique/boss killing ... after performing 'the ritual'. I dug out my old Windows 7 computer, loaded up my old 1.07 characters, and headed to the Plains of Despair. I got four Burning Souls...

    New 1.07/1.08 Magic Find Meta?

    My first thought was also that this sounds a lot like an old SPF chicken chasing thread ... But, I tried it in D2R. And after getting rid of the merc that kept killing everything, I managed to get four souls alone: They stopped attacking and did 'perform the ritual'. When they were done...

    Who will be playing D4?

    No, I'm sticking to D2R. D2R is my dream game. Even after more than a year and a half, I'm still in a state of pinch myself, can't believe it really exists, happy. Coupled with GoMule, (thanks again @silospen !), it's just about perfect in my eyes. Sure, I'd prefer that you didn't have to...

    WHAAAT?! New Item Find Thread! *Exits lurker mode.* I was going to wait until my would-be-UT99er hit 98.5, but, who can resist that new item find thread smell ;) . Here comes some ye olde non-terrorized drops: While clearing the Throne Room at players 1. Crown of Ages: I thought a one...

    The Untwinked Level 99 Progress Thread, The Saviours of Sanctuary Rise Anew

    Well, I remember this one guy who posted about doing it in an IFT thread (of all places), here, and here, before getting around to posting about what gear and skills he was using here. (Some people can be so disorganized :rolleyes: ). tldr: I think the most budget friendly way of doing Ubers...

    Gambling my life savings: A 1,000,000,000 gold gambling game for the NPCs of sanctuary

    From the journal of Brave Sir Mordred (my last HC single pass character): After spending all of NM Act II rebuilding our finances (after Gheed emptied our pockets), we gambled this circlet from Elzix, on our second attempt, <*Snip* Details aren't important.> Yep! Elzix is the man. I knew it...

    Patch 2.5 PTR Announced - Terror Zones

    Well, I just played for a few minutes. It appears that they did indeed fix item name flickering! ... But, they also broke compatibility with GoMule ... Again :rolleyes: . Also, I thought it was somewhat interesting that they've apparently decided to only implement Terror Zones for Ladder, and...
