Those four rune words were Duress, Prudence, Splendor and Wind. I vaguely recall hearing mention of Duress (definitely, and possibly the others) being enabled during the beta test for 1.10 but upon the final release the old formulae for the beta rune words no longer worked. Apparently they had not been completely disabled again, only the formulae altered.

Can anyone think of other beta rune words that no longer appear to be working? Is it even possible to download a copy of the beta to test some of the possibilities for these 23 new rune words? Am I completely out of my tree?

I have the 1.10 beta files (both the first and second releases) in front of me and while there are differences, they are only in a couple of recipes and a couple of resulting mods. There are no different, extra or missing runewords.

The beta release was entirely single player, anything that is accessible single player is not going to be a secret for long. Secrets can only exist in realm-only changes.

Also noticed that if anyone still wants to look at the acronyms we have the name Kalimdor, it's 8 letters I know but still, we are kind of grasping at straws here. Maybe Ko Amn Lem Io Mal Dol... or even Ko Hel Amn Lem Io Mal (Khalim...the owner of the artifacts you are supposed to collect in Act 3 before you can kill Mephisto for all you ignorant rushers) in a hammer.

Before calling anyone else ignorant, look up the facts. The artifacts are to be transmuted into a flail, not a hammer. Also, technically, Khalim isn't the owner but he IS the artifact - his eye, his heart, his brain - making his will. But it's no matter, you were probably tired anyway, so get some rest :sleep:

Now, this Khalim runeword is interesting, as well as Apom's suggestions, but at the moment, I still don't have the necessary components to make my pally a good candidate for forge rushes. Even then, I still haven't been able to catch people online at the same time that I am.

thx for looking that up, well thats one avenue of research checked off the list. I spotted somehting interesting yesterday, on the "when worlds colliade" wallpaper there is a dead/uncounciouse barbarian being held up by diablo. on his shoulder pade there is a emblem that looks almost exactly like that of the ort rune. I didnt see anyhting else that might pretail a rune unless u count the slight possibility that on the orc loin clothe there are some white markings and one has the basic shape of the ral rune but looks not tooo much ike it at all.
 
Morning, all.

Updated: wathombe's runeword spreadsheet (I'm thinking about throwing a "fabulous" in there, but I can't decide... ;) )

Senff: Well, more power to you if you want to try! I would probably maintain my spreadsheet for a while, just for a control group and to be sure everybody started using the new program (which might be the biggest problem with a tracking program--do you want to train every new poster?). Also, you'd still need a way around the EULA problems. Keep us all posted.

psy/mmaketsu/dawns: Thanks for the tests, as always. Logged, updated, posted.

Iraq: Thanks to you and edawger for the tests. Be sure to check the latest spreadsheet before you test, though, because Truth was tested a few days ago. Also, AmnTirJah is Daylight, not Lawbringer, but it hadn't been tested yet, so thank you!

Killa: Welcome to the team! I've got to add a 3os+ random testing page to my spreadsheet for random tests with more than two runes, but I'll log "heat" soon.

Apom: No, I'm definitely glad you got that admission out of Kenny-Z. It's always helpful to eliminate possibilities. Incidentally, he had been asked before, many times, but yesterday was the first time he answered. Because yesterday was August 31, I wonder if Bliz's master plan was to let us flounder in the dark for two months, then slowly start to let out real clues. Yesterday's admission may have been the first. I intend to watch closely (despite my ISP's frikkin' DNS server; can somebody help me with that?).

Sokar: I'm going to be compiling all the WoW/TFT ideas from earlier in the thread soon. How do you arrive at JahAmn or JahAmnEth for the possible recipe?

Zephyrus: What times have you been on? I haven't seen you the past few nights in the 10 to midnight range. If I can catch a fair number of people on over the next few nights (you, Cheetah, GovernerOfCali, KandeeKid) and if any of you are interested, I'd love to do some nm Baal runs for an hour or two. I think Cheetah has a Barbarian he's trying to level, and Governer [sic] had a lvl 44 he wanted to level. I'm thinking five or six more runs before I'm ready for hell.

Dawns: Yes, someone pointed out those symbols in that picture once before. I think someone found something on Diablo's knee, too. I don't know if there's enough in there for one runeword, though, much less 23.

Shaft: Have you kept your master "Tested" list up to date for random testing in 3- to 6-socket items? We've had more of those in the past few days, and I suppose I need to add them to my ss, as well.

Zephyrus I wasn't necassarily aiming that comment at anyone here, but the fact is that there are many people that "play" this game and read this thread that have only ever rushed and have never played through his game. Maybe when you meet people that have never heard of Khalim or Izual you will feel the same. There were quite a few people that had level 99 characters in 09 that had never heard of Izual and there are people today that have never heard of Khalim for the simple fact that all they do in act 3 is the council and Mephisto.

Wathombe I was tired, as I said I probably thought of the wrong rune. What I meant was Ohm for increased damage and Amn for life steal. Could also be Ith or Sol I suppose, but I think Ohm is most likely. I added Eth simply because it's an element of D(eth)orin which probably has nothing to do with it, so it's probably just Ohm Amn in an axe.

I thought I saw it here somewhere, but can not find it.
Is there a USEast 'dumping place' for me to donate runes for the cause?

i.e. An account name or character to look for; a special channel; a special game name

No, there's no dumping place per se. One player on East donated about 54 runes a few weeks ago, and I created an account and character to test them with, so if you'd like to arrange a time, I can meet you on East myself. If you'd rather, you can just give me your acct name and I'll look for you from time to time. My East acct is *wathombe_e

wathombe, you may want to try http://216.148.223.71/ to reach battle.net.

Yeah, I can get on, but most links don't work once I'm there. In most cases, it's as simple as pasting the IP address into the shortcut, but anything that involves any sort of forms (i.e., logging in or replying to posts) won't work, even when I paste the IP address in. My office ISP's DNS server just won't ****ing update the battle.net address to the new IP. Very annoying, and I can't very well go to my office manager and tell her the DNS server isn't recognizing a game company site. :rolleyes: And unless I'm mistaken, there's no way to get the DNS server straightened out except through the ISP. I have the DNS server's IP address, but I don't think that does me any good. If any techno-savvy soul knows a better trick, let me know.

run -> cmd -> "ipconfig -flushdns"

that will clear your local computers DNS pool and SHOULD allow you to get on bnet.

Argh. Thanks for the tip. I ran it, and got a "Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache." message, but I still can't get onto b.net without using the IP address. I think it's my ISP's DNS server (192.68.101.40 if anyone wants to do anything nasty to it) that needs flushing. Meh.
 
Haha, Sokar, I know exactly what you mean. Bunch of people who have no idea what's going on around them. Sometimes you just want to scream: "YOU IGNORANT FOOLS!" But whatever. Sounds like you had a hell of a night or something. Either way, I hope you had some rest.

About getting on, school's nearing, so I have to condition my self for early sleep and early mornings. I might not be on much during the night. And speaking of school, since it's starting soon, I might have to cut down A LOT on D2, which is a great shame. In the event that I must leave Diablo 2 completely, I might be willing to donate my entire account to this cause, although it's not giving much. We'll see though.

If you think lord of destruction is bad try doing things in classic. A lot of the people in Hell dont seem to grasp the idea of pally auras or that they can have multiple wcs active. and it's not just sometimes that u want to scream you ignorant fool, it's ALL THE TIME!!!! the entirety of classic is clinicly insane.
 
After generous donations from both *tlaloc24 and nm Countess, I have the following tests to report:

EthTir - gnarled staff

NefThul - bone wand
ElThul - bone wand
ElSol - bone wand
EldSol - bone wand
DolEld - bone wand
RalTir - bone wand
IthNef - bone wand
OrtNef - bone wand
EthTal - bone wand
AmnOrt - bone wand

All failed.

Updated: wathombe's runeword spreadsheet

Night, all.

Some of my friends are trying 2 hack the servers of b.net for those runewords.

Is this the way ??? My self think not!!!!!!!!!
 
mmaketsu said:
Actually the Hell diablo must be killed before conversion from classic to expansion (this has been pointed out before).
Nope. All you have to do is get the classic character into Hell Act 4 and they can then get into Hell Act 4 when converted. Once they've gone through Mephisto's red portal, they're good to go. I've rushed at least 40 characters this way so I'm 100% certain of this.
