Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"? <

Notepad is your friend. And you use {code} with [ ], not table. :thumbup:

Interesting idea. I started playing after LoD was released, so I've never had any experience with classic play. I may decide to partake in a little while, and if I do it'll be 1.00/.01 so that eventually I can patch to 1.07 or .09 for the known goodies they contain. Very interesting, indeed...

Good luck to all who participate! Oh, I cleaned up the table, too. I'm neurotic like that. :crazyeyes: Someone else can worry about how to order the entries, though.

Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

Coldcrow showed me another difference between classic and expansion that I'd forgotten--mercs can't be resurrected. Goodbye Klaudia, hello Shikha.

Celia is level 13 now and at the Dark Wood WP getting ready to rescue Cain.
 
Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

Lovely idea! I've decided to put the c in classic, and backed up all me saves and stashes, removed everything, and did a clean install of Diablo 2.
So now I'm in 1.00! I'm going to play a barb, but can anyone tell me if whirlwind is a good idea? I know it was godly for a while, but woudn't know if it was already that way in 1.00... Any other pointers are also welcome, because as far as I can tell, there's not too much documentation on builds in 1.00...

Cheeryo and good luck

P.S. Oeps forgot the table! Will add myself in the next progress post.

WW and Corpse explosion rules in 1.00, so yes WW is something you can very well use, IIRC most people around the start of b.net were barbs, especially the high level chars.

Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

One of the best skills in Diablo 1.00 was the necromancers Corpse Explosion. Unnerfed, it could wreak havoc on the higher levels. Think Nihlatak Corpse Explosion effects.

Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

Hi everyone,

I'm back from my brother's 21st birthday, and nursing a mild hangover.

It's quite interesting to see what a different game classic is; I already miss jewels and runes, and iirc a lot of cube recipies are gone too.

I thought I'd tidy up the table, and go for ranking by furthest place reached rather than by clvl structure. As I for one intend to lvl up between acts/difficulties, this seems the most sensible way to do things.

As I'm not going to be able to use the PC with D2 on today, Bors will stay in Tristram for the time being.

Yes, we find loads of revujs in 1.00, which was very good, as Witchdoctor endugu hurted quite a lot, and as we're a damage reduce team, we can only take him down by The Vortex making a golem to distract and I go in and use vengeance on the monsters, as it's with monsters they can quickly turn around a inferno me in stead, one inferno is back enough, but when I get 3-5 on me, I click on that rejuv all the time and run away. Sadly the 3 revujs = full rejuv doesn't work in 1.00.


 
Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

Tempted to enter this tourney. It won't be too much of a novelty for me though, as I play the odd Classic character anyway. That's not to say I'm an experienced player though. I'm tempted to try a bowazon, but not sure at all how they fare. Also, there's the decision between mageazon or physical to work out. Will think some more on it.

Thyiad: Which fishy?
 
Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

Perhaps I missed it, but are we allowed to rerun areas for items and/or EXP?

EDIT: Thanks nubikoen. Since that's the case, I'm definitely in. :D.
 
Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

EmperorMoo said:
The idea is to simply revisit pre-LoD Diablo, with its lack of runes and charms (but not without its charms, so to speak) and have a pleasant, pretty non-competative time whilst doing it. Player settings and number of times you run bosses is at your discretion.

I read that as 'anything goes'

I'm disqualified if it's not the case. :whistling:



 
Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

It is gonna end up taking me a little while to get started on this, but I am gonna end up playing 1.00 with my sorc. Good luck to everyone already playing!
 
Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

@NagisaFurukawa and nubikoen: Please feel free to rerun areas and bosses as much as you wish. I would have to disqualify myself too as I have been running Tristram to level up, as I will ignore the tower. I certainly intend to rerun Andy a few times when I reach the end of Act 1.

Please also feel free to go back and forward between acts/difficulties too, and to ignore quests/areas as you wish.

Also please feel free to re-enter if you get a deeds.

The goal of the "tournament" is to get as far as possible in HC. And to have fun too. If interest persists in this "tournament", I hope it will feature on the Long-Term Tournaments section, next to the Quest for Level 99 Thread and so on.

GL to all, I'm hoping to get to Andy tonight (may not have time, though...)
 
Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

Update from team early starters v.1.00:
We've cleared out most of the temples, 2 temples left to take and then we're going up against the Councils, 50% of Travincal was cleared while getting to the waypoint, or just about that.
As some might remember, last time I wrote I had to use some rejuvs due to witch doctor endugu and his minions, well this time those sixtons/cantons forced me into rejuving again, it was two uniques/bosses that standed close to each other. The Vortex was nice and let me have the last experience shrine eventhough it was his turn, because I was behind in experience, the unique/boss was of course cursed, so the shrines effect was lost immediatly, it's of course always nice to have a stash a cube and almost an entire inventory having a large amount of rejuvs, though never nice to be in the situation that calls for rejuvs.

Re: Is there any interest in a Classic "Tournament"?

Okay so here's the thing...
My plan was to play in 1.00, but along came Murphy and...
I simply coudn't run it. I still don't know what the problem is, maybe that my screen is too big, so then I tried to run it in windowed mode, which worked for 5 mins till my screen went poof and all was black -.-
So I tried patching up, which worked! Went with 1.06, because to me it seems like it's the patch classic was intended to play with.
Now for my question: I know I can't enter the tournament with this patch, but would it be okay to still write some updates here? So I won't enter the table but just some occasional writing...

Let me know and gl to all in the tournament!

Have you tried changing it from 3d to 2d? That usually does it for me (it stands on 3d automatically). I can play never patches on both, but 1.00 only on 2d for some reason.

Corpsefire almost got her while I was holding down attack and pouring some tea, but otherwise nothing very exciting. Questing in the early going is almost tedious without an equippable mercenary. :(. Will probably burn 2 points to skill Blaze (or vendor a staff with it) to speed things up.
