I want to know if anybody else besides me exclusively uses the touch pad for playing diablo 2.
I have a lot of dexterity in my middle finger. I've never owned a desktop, only laptops.
I actually find it harder for me to use a mouse than it is a touch pad.
I'm def the only person I know that does this. and diablo requires a lot of precise clicking.. esp with the bowazon lol.
I leveled a bowazon to lvl 99 using the touchpad.
the trick to mastering the touch pad is to lay your wrist diaganally to the right to the touch pad (assuming your right handed)
and leave it there. The only things that moves is your wrists that pivot stationarily resting on your computer and your middle finger
touching the touch pad and your pointing finger for clicking the left click button and the finger next to your pinky to click the right click button.
haha wow, I have done this before! I don't often use a mouse because I don't have one readily available since I moved out of my dad's house(he took it), but I definitly feel you man
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.

I want to know. Who else does this???
I've leveled a character to lvl 92, and I call shenanigans on your lvling a bowazon to 99 on a touchpad.For anyone else reading this, you know what I'm talking about.
And as Phrozen said, yeh it sounds painful. I couldn't even go 10 minutes of normal laptop usage without having to go find a mouse much less play diablo or something. Yea, I had to play Diablo for 5-10 minutes at a time when my mouse batteries died and I waited for them to recharge, but thats about it.
its funny bcuz D2 is the ONLY game i can use the touchpad for.. i play a lot of harcore fast fps games, so thats kind of hard to use a touchpad.. but i love using it on D2.

I totally understand your lack of belief. Its ok, my other friends didn't believe it either. I swear on my life that i do/ did use the touch pad all the way through, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this thread.
BTW, Caroleus, I am confident that you can do it too. If you can put up with the military then you can put up with using the touch pad. After a while the pain is all in your head. I for one do not feel any "pain." If it hurt that much, I wouldn't do it.
Also I find some people have no freaking clue how to use a touch pad properly. If you are using your pointing finger to move the mouse with the touch pad, the you don't know what the hell you're doing.
Pointing finger is left click.
Middle finger is to touch touch pad
finger next to pinky is right click.
You should be able to relax when you do this. Dont tense your muscles and contort your whole arm in a wierd way, otherwise, yes, it would be painful.
Also I'll make a wager with you. Your welcome to come over to my house and watch. If i do it successfuly, which I will, how a bout you buy me a car, you know, lke used in good condition.
I have to use the touchpad skillfullly with a bowazon for no less than six hours straight, or more if you like. Hell id do it for 18 hours straight, because diablo is cool like that. I'll buy like fifty dollars of some awesome vitos pizza and share some beer and liquor.
This would be fun as effing hell dude. Plus it would give me a chance to party up old school stye with my LAN which by the way is soo fun.
I need to get wrid to this temporary car im drivng, its so old and ungly, it would put a smile on my face if it would just combust into flames.
If i can't, then I'll buy you a nice car. How does that sound? PM me if your interested

Meh you live in Ohio. Maybe one day if I decide to pull a road trip and visit people I know online. But I don't find it painful. I know it can be done for a certain amount of time, but as you get higher lvl and do all those Baal runs for 99 it gets really risky to stay alive. Especially a Zon. I don't find it painful, it just annoys the crap out of me to the point I get frustrated and bust out the wireless mouse.

so by a lot of dexterity in your middle finger so you mean you lose all the time and get angry and "birdy"
I use the touchpad with EVERYTHING. I tried playing with a mouse after years of using the touchpad and I cannot do it. It feels alien to use a mouse. I use touchpads for D2, WoW, FPS's, RTS's, etc.
Plus I cannot do art with a mouse. Never could. I can do pretty-decent-to-good with a touchpad though.
I completely understand where you are coming from Tempor.
When I went to Tennessee for personal reasons I used the touch pad all the way there. I played Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, Half Life 1, MechWarrior 3, and a few other random games.
(Granted I only drove maybe an hour or an hour and a half...)
I'd be quite comfortable with the computer and the touchpad.. The thing that would make me uncomfortable would be the lack of space for me to strech my legs. Unless it was a very spacious suv or something. Now I just want to see WiMax! A less expensive mobiile broadband option to connect to battle.net. Of course this is without thinking about all the spots not convered along the free way not close to major metropolitan areas.
Oh yea drivinng long a** trips does suck. I once drove nonstop from sylvania ohio to daytona beach florida so I could save money on lodging. That was 19 to 20 hours of horrific driving madness,
Eh, I wish I had a touchpad.
My laptop has an old ass trackball pointer on it :/
Ball is in the middle of the keyboard, and the left/right clicks are at the bottom.
Makes you need 2 hands to use the damn thing ><.

I could never play Diablo with a touchpad for more than 5 minutes tops. I'd go insane after that.

I agree. He's making a mockery of the game. I say, to the Execution Square!! Let us be done with this foul man.

I'll just stick with my old touchpad thank you very much.
Ftw!

(When I said I drove, I meant I literally drove. The rest of the way my sister drove. I hate driving long ass trips. :mad: )
