Re: Sincere condolences
Seems like the KTA-crew and Mr. Bear had a crappy weekend. Sorry to read all those RIPs guys.
Character name: Lovely_Lydia
Character level: 43
Character class: Sorceress
Character build: Blaze/Orb
Game difficulty: NM-Outer Cloister
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM
Cause of Demise:
Dunno really. Something dropped me to like 20 HP's in a single go (from 430, had ES on but that took only 25% damage). It was one of Flamespike's little brothers that did the final deed (MS/ES even), but I suspect the real cuplrit was an FE boss that died to my first Orb (didnt even see it, only saw a different color amongst the stuff that died). I saw my HP's drop, thought "maybe I should pop a juve here.." and the next instant... *gunk* ... within ten seconds of hitting the WP I was dead.
Ankeli was so kind as to trample the little bugger into the ground. Alas... well... at least she didnt have any gear worth mentioning, so that's okBut its a shame of the Lovely_Lydia's Chainmail with Stealth in it.

Re: Sincere condolences
Sorry to hear that.
Is there a bug with cele monsters similar to the fele bug on NM that will carry cold damage/phys damage on the last spawned bolts from an exploding monster?
Character name: oOmsicle
Character level: 75
Character class: Paladin
Character build: Frost Zealot
Game difficulty: Hell
Act: 1 - Stoney Field
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvM
Cause:
CE/LE. I had tried to solo my way through Hell A1, but my merc got murdered everywhere we went past the Dark Wood, so I decided to take it easy and get some levels in (and hopefully some items) in Stoney/Trist (little to no cold immunes
Was doing fine for a couple of "runs" until we were fighting a Crow bosspack. I noticed the CE/LE so stepped WAY back, merc pops the culprit and after the CE ring was gone my health starts dropping in two HUGE chunks without a monster ANYWHERE in sight. Popped a juvie after the first one, but the second one tore me a new one.
Tbh, I'm getting pretty tired of ridiculous bugged deaths like this...

Re: Sincere condolences
Very sorry to hear about the loss of your Sorceress. That sux. But...
Window$ anti-virus program blues? Fix follows.
(1.) Surf to : http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
(2.) Burn Ubuntu Linux 8.04 Desktop CD to CD-R / RW. Set PC BIOS to boot from CD as first boot device. Reboot.
(3.) Click "Install" icon on desktop. Choose "Use entire hard disk for Ubuntu" and "Completely Delete Windows Permanently?" options.
(4.) When new O/S installs, reboot.
(5.) Run Synaptic Package Manager from "System -> Administration" menu. Seach for and install WINE Windows compatibility layer application.
(6.) Configure WINE. (I recommend running Window$ applications in a separate window -- with full-screen there's too much of a chance of a misbehaving Window$ program doing stupid things like grabbing 100% of the CPU and not letting you back to the Linux Desktop.)
(7.) (Re)Install Diablo II and LoD by double-clicking "SETUP.EXE" application from relevant CDs. Allow patch 1.11b to download and install when you next connect to Battle.Net.
(8.) Enjoy playing Diablo and your Window$ games without ever having to worry about stupid Window$ "Product Activation", (sic.) "Genuine Advantage", anti-virus programs, pop-ups that corrupt games, or, of course, viruses and malware. Enjoy the free OpenOffice software suite that costs zero, as opposed to Micro$oft Office for ~$1400.
(9.) Have a good laugh at the expense of all those poor masochists who are still, for some reason unknown to me, still voluntarily suffering at the hands of Mssrs. Gates' and Ballmer's bloated, CIA-backdoored, DRM-crippled, agonizingly slow and inefficient so-called operating system.
(Or, of course, if you prefer, keep running Window$. That way you'll get lots of experience in starting new Hardcore characters from Level 1.)
:evil:
Cheers

RIP: Our Fallen Friends
Death Certificate
Character name: YipeeYabbaDoo ...{snip}... the CPU was expending all its energy on AVG's behalf. When I logged on I was greeted by a dead sorc . . . how lame. (If anyone has any suggestions on how to prevent this sort of occurance please stick a comment in the sincere condolances:thumbup

Re: Sincere condolences
Mr. Bill, thanks for spending all that time responding to my question . . . I'll definately look into Linux but I'm more than a little concerned that if I try to install Linux onto my computer then Windows might go and do something vindictive like reduce my computers usefulness to that of a really big paper weight. :scratchchin: Still, I'll look into it, and thanks again.

Re: Sincere condolences
MY FAULT!! NOT YOURS!! The shift-click tends to gravitate towards a boss monster, which in our case was not a good thing, so very sorry dude!

Re: Sincere condolences
I do hope you reported him to Blizzard...I know it seems like they won't do anything but sometimes they do...I mean c'mon, insult to injury; if you could have looted it would have been a killer blow to die, not a killer blow x2 when they guy was that much of a *"&^$%$^*%$*(^$^ to not let you loot!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!?!

Re CanICallYouBob's posting:
"Cause of demise: Decided to play a little after a really long time. Was fighting council in Travincal, charged strike made a short talk. Killed Ismail Vilehand & FE Geleb Flamefinger, rushed to Toorc Icefist. When he was almost dead i realized, that he had FE mod too. Started to run away when my valk smashed him. Well, you can guess the rest."
Coincidentally, yesterday I almost lost my own (then) Level 52 Javazon (with her shiny new self-found ethereal Titan's!!! :thumbup: ) like that; by now I'm wise to the fact that you don't tug on Superman's cape and you don't melee FE Geleb in Nightmare, but I had chucked my (then) 4.5K Plague Java at Toorc; he was down to about 1/4 health when I noticed that he was FE as well, so I rapidly ran away as the Valk gave him the final poke... which would have been my final poke, too, had I not.
I guess the moral of this story is, everybody knows about Geleb, but you gotta watch those other ones, they can spawn FE as well, with random modifier.
Good luck on the rebuild,
Mr. Bill

Re: Sincere condolences
Stun and FELE really don't mix. Whenever I play a character who stuns, or am with a character who stuns, I always back off that wave till I know Bartuc doesn't spawn FELE. Otherwise, deeds comes fast, especially from a 105+ FCR Singer Barb who sets off the death explosion multiple times FAST.

Re: Sincere condolences
Back when I played SC I had a singer and I, for some reason, ended up running a ton of Nightmare Baals. Sure enough, whenever Bartuc rolled FELE, I'd die.

Re: RIP: Our Fallen Friends (Ladder Season 5)
Happened to me as well dude, lost a MF Tal's Sorc (iirc!) in the same situation...I questioned the TPPK'er if they had the item I was after and all they were doing was camping my TP to WSK2 where I was MF-ing waiting for someone with the item to turn up! Details probably in this very thread, maybe the old one...my memory lapses... :crazyeyes: I make a new game now if someone won't leave when I question them!
Anyway, condolences for the loss dude!
