Re: The Questions Thread

Q: If you break a Cold Immune's immunity with conviction/LR, are then able to chill/freeze them? Arreat Summit's monster pages lists most CI monsters as having non-0 Chill effectiveness, so I'm pretty sure it makes sense that they could after being broken, but you never know.

IIRC, -res has no effect on chill effectiveness. Otherwise a sorc with CM would be able to chill/freeze anything that's not CI. And I'm 99% certain that's not the case.



 
Re: The Questions Thread

I know Immunities can be broken with LR. I also know the -resist will receive a penalty. But I cannot remember what penalty.
With +skills, my lower resist provides -52%, what immunes can be broken?

Thanks in advance!

Re: The Questions Thread

Ok, got a question: do Shiver Armour and Frozen Armour stack? Related to this, if I've got points in Frozen Armour from an item and I put hard points in to Shiver Armour, wil getting rid of the item lose me Shiver Armour as well (because I no longer have the pre-req)?

Re: The Questions Thread

You can only ahve 1 cold armour active at a time.
you can not use only +skill x from items as a prereq. you need to place a hard skill pt in it.

hope I understood you rigth :grin:
 
Re: The Questions Thread

I already asked this in another thread, but got no answer so here goes:

Some reference information first:

I've only played LoD, never classic D2, and I started from 1.09.

In act 2 Lysander, as second speech on Radamant, tells that one should try his exploding potions as they work well against undead. Has Lysander been selling exploding potions in some earlier version of the game? Or did D2 development team decide that ability to buy exploding potions would be too easy (IMHO all attacking potions suck) and failed to notify the speech department?


I drop a second question here as it came up when I resd through this thread. Based on my background information I've never played 1.07. What's so superb on 1.07 that people still play it?


And I remembered third question that I've meant to ask. How much memory LOD 1.11b needs on PC? I have this problem where playing necro with plenty of minions or actually any character if there are lots of items on the ground, the small telling noices and even some speeches stop working. "I cannot pick anymore", NPC's greetings when you click them, noise that comes when you activate a town portal, noice of trapped chest etc. All those come back when I activate any speech of any NPC, but soon if the amout of minions for example stays the same the same problem occurs. It can be so that the second NPC you click greets you but the third won't.

Re: The Questions Thread

Here is a total noob question...it might also explain why I don't use jewels much

If I socket my helm with and IAS jewel, does that do anything?
Is putting a ruby jewel of fervor into armor wasting it?
I know that for runes and gems, the effects are different, but what about jewels?

What I mean to say is does the socketed item's effect only apply to the item I am socketing a jewel/gem/rune into?
 
Re: The Questions Thread

Jewel's effect's does the same no matter where you put them (or not exactly, as %ed tend to do better in the actual weapon, but other stuff works fine)

So putting an ias jewel in your helmet will increase your attack speed with your weapon, unless you are a werewolf druid or a ww barb, as only on-weapon ias works with those.

To wrap it up; jewels does the same thing no matter where you put them, with a few exceptions, but that does not have anything with the jewel itself to do.

It's actually not that strange of a wonder, I remember the first time I found a pair of "sligthly increased attack speed" leather gloves with my 1.00 barb, and was worried that the speed bonus only would apply if I hit the monsters with my bare fists :grin:
 
Re: The Questions Thread

How do i know how much sockets i get, when i receive the the reward from the Act 5 quest? Im pretty sure its got something to do with ilvl's. I want to socket some upped frostburns.. but yeah i still wanna know how to work it out myself for future reference.

You won't be getting any sockets out of some Frostburns =p. You only get sockets in weapons, shields, body armour and helms.

Magic items = 1-2 sockets, 50% chance either way
Unique, Set, Rare or Crafted items = 1 socket
White items = maximum amount of sockets allowable by ilvl. The magic number for most things is lvl 45 and above, so thats about mid-NM onwards.


 
Re: The Questions Thread

I have a new Toshiba laptop, (S200) and the keyboard layout is really annoying. The Alt key is right next to a key that has the Windows logo on it (looks like a flag). If I accidently hit that key, the windows desktop comes up (its like hitting Alt+Tab). And I am hitting it a bit too often for my liking. Is there a way to disable it? I tried to assign a different function to that key using the ingame options but it kept switching to the desktop. Please help. I don't wanna have to buy a new PC just for D2.
 
Re: The Questions Thread

Solved the prob. I downloaded a .reg file that disabled the key. Back to that Blizzballer. :smiley:
 
Re: The Questions Thread

I usually just tear the windows button off my keyboard sicne it disturbs all games... :hide:
 
Re: The Questions Thread

Hi guys. I have 1.11 installed on my desktop. I have 1.07 installed on my laptop. I would now like to be able to play 1.07 on my desktop, too. Do I just copy the save folder and all the atma files and stuff (to a separate DII folder?) and download the version switcher? Any step by step guide for dummies, or something close to it, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.
