1.07 News, Info and Gossip

Has anyone ever wanted to play 1.07 on players 8? Well.....
(Disclaimer: non-fam content)
Now you can! CLICK
Type "playersX" just like in 1.09. It is capped to 8 however, since the game will not scale correctly past that and will crash anyway.
The 1.00 Classic version is coming soon ;)

Definitely at least get to 24 before going further because you'll want the kill power from blizzard (even if only 1 pt, like I did).

you should be able to level easily enough in act 3 jungle or something. Remember to make mpk rings and if you want your life to be quite a bit easier for late norm and all of nm and hell, I highly recommend MPing with a barb for BO.

Well now I'm curious what the patterns are for LK on higher settings!

Too bad its not fam though
 
Yeah I'm still trying to get the mpk roll. I got a few 30 cold res rings though that made me feel pretty good going up against Mephisto. Thanks for the area/level breakpoints I really appreciate it. I feel like I'm a long ways away from hell, and especially 556 MF, but I could farm normal meph for some items like Gull and Chancies for when I need them I suppose. I'm really hoping for an Ort to drop so I can make Ancients Pledge because my resists as a whole are negligible atm.

The barb is a good idea too, I don't have one leveled but I may try to the MP section.
 
It's kinda cool when you get on high player settings (7 or 8) weird things happen. Certain monsters life overflows to a negative value, so mephisto on players 7 will only take 3 hits to kill. I can't seem to find it anywhere, but I remember reading about the "old chest glitch" on higher player settings. I'm not talking about the chest hack either. But it would be cool to pop a chest on p7 and get 95843753489 items :)

static field actually kills some act bosses at high p settings in hell (maybe nm). That's probably from the same cause. Maybe with negative life static field prompts the game to check their HP after it hits them and it's less than so they die, or something. I don't know the actual HP testing mechanics.

Those who rush some characters in hell will notice this!
 
Very true. When I was rushing about 5-6 toons in 1.08, I noticed Baal died in one shot even on hell. It affects him the most since his life is the highest. Haven't noticed any difference in drops from newer patches. LK chests drop more stuff, probably some good patterns but I'm to lazy to check. I might run RoF to see if it coughs up a Jo. That would be great for pre 1.10 Fury!
 
ya Jo or cham from RoF would be the most interesting. Even a ber or sur would at least be note-worthy since there aren't any patterns so far for those in 1.07. Way too many vex patterns

What do you consider the best gear for barb merc? I was thinking BK CB, gladiators bane and vgaze. Sockets are filled with ias/res jewels or IPDR. Getting merc to lv 85 is a pain though!

BK would be nice for the damage and res. I would also consider Coldsteel for the very high CB, great weapon speed, slow and blind. Crainte Vomir has slow, % damage reduce, and reduces monster defense per hit, though I am not sure how that works with the merc wielding it. If you are going for more durability, you might consider safety crafts. They can be a good substitute for Gladiator's Bane, until you get them to a higher level. Gladiator's Bane, while not as flashy as Arkaine's, might be better defensively in 1.07 with its high mdr and pdr. The CBF is also really nice since Raven Frost is a lot worse in 1.07. Vamp gaze is hard to argue with, even with the life steal not working. The only other contender might be Blackthorn's to face tank LE. The mdr from gaze and bane might be enough though.

I cant get it to work with d2se, replaced the files with those in my 1.07 folder. The red rune mod works though so thats nice

In other news I was rolling LK maps and racked a lenymo lmao. Id still like a good guide/post on how to find a good rack map
 
@Beoron forgot about safety crafts! I think blackhorns may not be necessary with gbane/shako socketed with Mal runes (7 mdr).

@Tatterson I have not tested with d2se, but seeing as the RRM is working, the players should work as well. Try typing "players7" (remember no backslash in commands pre 1.10), then go to LK and pop chests. Everything should drop more and be tougher.

Edit. For rolling maps, I reveal the whole map, then go back and pop everything. If nothing good drops, I do it again but cast a hydra on each rack to change what it drops. Remember, the only thing that can change racks are monsters spawning ;)

Thanks i got it working! I was typing the command wrong.

I wonder how different the meta for farming would be if TC wasn't broken. 1.08 seems like a more interesting patch because you don't have to rack run for ages to get good items, but you need to run bosses for ages to get good items since the MF is broken :s
 
Please remember the mod is unapproved. It should be cleared with Thyiad before you post it. Certainly don't trade / MP until this has been done.
 
@helvete I did some testing through various mods, and it seems racks are only changed by monsters. This does mean, however, the path taken will cause certain monsters to spawn which changes the rack. But the path or direction itself has no impact on the rack. If you remove mobs from the game, the rack will drop the same item regardless of path, time, etc. Until a monster or minion is present.

@Tatterson good to know it works. The meta for 1.08 was really interesting. MF was broke in SP but did work on the realms. Meaning, one could pop a windforce with 556 MF and a few thousand runs. Bosses are the target in both patches however. And if you fix MF in 1.08, Baal becomes the best ;)

As said, using the players command isn't a fam mod, so anyone using it should be aware if you plan on trading. Many people do not trade though, so it will be helpful to have!

BTW, I tested a low dmg bow with a high dmg secondary weapon, including a weapon that adds +max dmg and it seemed like although the ias and CB and ctc carries over through the weapon glitch, the +dmg doesn't add. It might for some skills or something but I'm not sure.

What this tells me and may be relevant to blade fury: get high dmg main weapon, and get useful stats on second weapon (again, cranium basher is great here but there may be better choices). I guess you'd want razortail on a blade fury sin for the pierce but maybe just the lvl 50 pierce weapon (stormstrike iirc) would be sufficient because it would lead to~100% chance to pierce!
