Jarhead89 posted a message on Sons of OhrAs one of the original members of this site, I was there alongside jetrall to witness the rise, and fall, of SICK. I was there when it was created, when it expanded into the legions, and when it collapsed again.Posted in: News
The times we did have with SICK were glorious, and the slow death of it was even more so. Something which once had us clocking up 20+ hours of Diablo 2 a week, now resides in the sites archives.
The core members of SICK are long gone, and only a select few of you, including jetrall, know who i am speaking of. I wish Jetrall the best of luck and hope to join his venture sometime soon. -

Jarhead89 posted a message on Diablofans - WWI Card Tyrael Pet ContestSuggestions for TradingPosted in: News
- There needs to be a stable currency. High runes were the main currency in D2 (and earlier on, SoJ's), and it was quite difficult for your everyday player to obtain these items. Gold definately needs a more important role in d3. The game should FORCE the player to embrace gold as the main currency and wealth, rather than items. It should be used for EVERYTHING.
- Keep item tetris! This is one of those little things that you took for granted in diablo 2, but it was one of those things that made the game awesome in its own way.
- Enable players to trade more freely without the need to constantly create games specifically for the purpose of trading. At any one time on diablo 2, 90% of the games infront of you were for trading. Provide an auction place, a market of some kind, that can be accessed no matter what game you are in, be it your first time playing or in the middle of a run of some kind with friends.
- Make some items bind on pickup/equip. It can completely change the way trading works, and will eliminate the age old d2 problem of items being the absolute currency.
Suggestions for PVP
- Team duels need to be encouraged. Diablo 2 PVP was 99% of the time all about 1v1. Team aspects can be very fun.
- Allow duels to take place casually as in diablo 2, or at various battlegrounds/arenas/areas that are specifically designed for PVP.
- Offer rewards and incentives for those who excell at PVP, as well as some kind of ranking system. Some prefer to be top of the ladder, but some may want to be the best player killer out there.
- Allow game creators to choose the way PVP works in their particular game, ie: both parties must consent to a duel before it can commence, or players can become hostile with anyone they want, whenever they want. This eliminates the problems caused with ganking, but also gives players the option to live life on the edge.
- Allow PVP to be possible in hardcore, if there is hardcore, without players dying permenantly, eg: have a player automatically surrender when they reach 1hp. Because hardcore players might like to duel too.
- Official PVP tournaments, with titles/rewards given to the top players in their field. -

Jarhead89 posted a message on Diablo and Blizzard General Trademark activity!I think there is a MASSIVE giveaway that d3 is around the corner, not sc sequel.Posted in: News
My main reasoning? and i quote: "Frostmorne - Replica weapons, namely swords and daggers; sword scabbards; sword belts"
Now i dont know about you blokes but that doesnt sound like something from starcraft. It sounds like...oh...DIABLO WEAPONS? IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NEW DIABLO TRADEMARK?!?!?! :D:D:D -

Jarhead89 posted a message on The Final Diablo 3 is Coming argumentHey guys im new to the forum...from australiaPosted in: News
Just wanted to say ive been a loyal d2 fan for years and im glad some people actually get off their asses and inform the people of d3.
Ive been reading random websites and forums about d3 for about 6 hours now and im almost 100% sure d3 is coming...it might still be a while off but its definately coming.
Cheers. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

The other thing is xbox has the halo series. This is probably the most important series for xbox, and the most popular. It has unparalleled online participation for consoles, and is the most sucessful xbox gaming franchise to date.
Although i will admit, then ps3 is better, technically speaking. It just outruns the 360 in performance. But thats about it. It costs more to buy, alot more to repair, games will cost more thanks to the new bluray disks and technology.
As far as game choice goes, its a matter of personal opinion. Its just different varieties of games on either console.
Personally i like pc best, but a 360 will be among my possessions one day soon. Some games are just better on console. And vice versa. I woudltn feel right playing diablo on a console.
It all comes down to what you prefer in a console.

@ Muttonchops and FingolfinGR
Just tried to point out that its MY opinion. And so you guys have decided to have an opinion on my opinion? I dont understand...all im trying to do is talk about the topic? Isnt that what we are sposed to do? I mean, im sure bagging a random person you dont know on some random forums makes you feel all big, but its kinda pathetic and not really the point of the forums.
Question: do you guys even like the diablo series?
And muttonchops, i dont need you explaining the female anatomy to me. It was a figure of speech, a saying, not an invitation to talk about tits.
Oh and muttonchops, thanks but i dont need you commenting on my life. Have a good one you cunt

According to the oxford dictoionary, an opinion is: a view or judgement not necessarily based on fact or knowledge
So wow i guess that just fucks up your ideas. I can say whatever the fuck i want, as can everyone here, and it is still classed as an opinion. The actual integrity of the opinion doesnt matter, an opinion is an opinion.
What i have been trying to say all along is that I THINK WoW gives WARCRAFT a bad name. When i think of warcraft (and before WoW came out so did everyone else on the planet) i think of one of the greatest RTS games of all time. Period. Not a MMORPG. And a pretty shit one at that. Thats my opinion, take it or leave it. If you dont like it then tough titties, but dont go digging up pictures to try and insult me. I didnt ask for conflict but you had to be a fucking smart ass didnt you. Jeez...

Uh...i never said "Wow sux!"
I simply said i hate the cartoonish graphics and gameplay and it ruins the style of the Warcraft series. Warcraft was good as an RTS, plain and simple. Just like diablo is good as it is.
Oh and im sorry for trying to 'get most of the Diablo communitys favor'...i was under the impression i was putting foward my own opinion. If my opinion happens to be the same as the opinions of this community then tough titties.

Sorry this isnt a flaming or anything i just want to point out they are infact different...i could tell at first glance but maybe some other people cant. I copied these straight from the forums, from posts made by kamikaze and general ryan.
GENERAL RYAN
I have private messaged new information to Lord Silver and Lord Elfen Lied, about character skills, quests, new NPC's, new merc class, and weapons.
KAMIKAZE
Sorry for my absedence you guys. I don't know what is keeping Ryan so long to post the information I gave him, when he came and visit me a few weeks ago. Maybe he died. lol
So yeh just wanted to point that out. They could infact be 2 different people. No offence meant at all. It was a good observation Carloseus, but just a bit off. The bit about kamikaze not posting info is a bit dodgy though...if he gave it to ryan, why not just post it himself? Hmm....:confused:

Thankyou lord silver...i feel blessed!
But seriously, who can honestly say that one of the best feelings in diablo isnt finding that wonderful item?
Thasador when you have been playing for 7 years i dont blame you...i mean, it was only once...we all like to try things sometimes. But in general, i am against the whole thing.
